Aliens vs Predator

[Hourences]

The game is based on an existing IP. AVP is one single IP, not two different ones. There were AVP products long before the first AVP game came out. They did not start this, they simply licensed the IP.

Even if they would have started this, it wouldn't have helped them at all. You can't just take two existing IP's, combine them in a new way, and then suddenly get to keep a lot more of the money for yourself? That makes just no sense at all.

If I go make an Avatar Star Wars game tomorrow, I would still have to pay everyone involved in both IP's.

None of this changes my point. This is based on someone's else property (who in turn based it off someone else), and as of such a considerable share of the money will go to the owners.

Using existing IP's makes it easier to market and sell your product but makes it harder to get rich on. It is the safer approach, kind of, but the rewards are unlikely to be as big as if you would have made a successful original IP game.

Don't devs usually barely see any royalties unless the game sells ridiculously well, regardless if it's a licensed ip? Anyway I really would like to know what kind of deal rebellion got, I'm sure it would shock me, more so because AvP owes a lot of it's popularity to their and rituals skills as developers.

wow, Game Informer review on AVP is total wacko!

"but his issues were 'the Motion tracker is annoying!' (you know, the iconic motion tracker from Aliens. ) 'I hated being stealthy as a Predator!' (...) and 'Clinging to walls and ceilings as an Alien is really confusing!'"

ok ok, I am officially done reading reviews for games. To many dumb out of school kids writing shit these days and only think about thumb up their ass simplicities.

Yep, we live in a gamer-gay era.

Why do you think Halo sells millions? Cos It's for simplified pussies.

Id love to see those guys try SS2 or deusex.

If it isn't a buggy Russian game that barely works and requires user mods to be made playable, Mapcore just wont have it.
