Rebellion’s Aliens vs. Predator has been downloaded four million times, making it the most successful demo in Sega’s library. Along with the honor of being Sega’s fastest-selling game, AvP has been an unbelievable success, especially since many people figured it wouldn’t sell well at all. Looks like sci-fi monsters from the eighties are still culturally relevant.
It’s just a shame that AvP wasn’t all it could have been. Still, the huge success of AvP should bode well for Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines, which I am sure will be a far superior offering. I greet all AvP success with joy if it translates to Gearbox getting a big budget and plenty of marketing.
