As for AVP being one of the Jags best games, how it got to be so good is subject to debate itself. Some say it was just Rebellion naturally being awesome. Others say they had to have the whip cracked on them just to get it to playable and beyond. And what we now have is rather lucky chance. Thread bump on this one as i stumbled across an old preview of Rebellions PC AVP, back in early 1999 2 sources from Fox Interactive are used in the feature, Jon Richmond and head of Fox Interactive, Paul Provenzano. They talk of the game being in development for over 3.5 years, desire to create best game possible, not rush it out. Paul then pointed out he was at Acclaim during the development of Alien 3 and Alien Trilogy and the attitudes between Acclaim and Rebellion were degrees apart. Acclaim simply treated the Aliens franchise as another licensed property, Rebellion wanted to maintain the integrity of the source material and build apon it.

JagChris Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Except for some of the atmosphere, I'm not at all impressed with Alien Trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE most over-hyped, utterly disspointing Aliens experience of it's generation. So what if sprites were motion captured? They looked awful. Xeno A. I was utterly pathetic. Alien Res played properly with Playstation mouse was the Aliens game on the Sony platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) The more i look back into Jaguar AVP and interviews given by both sources within Rebellion and from the likes of Jane Whittaker, both parties are as bad as each other when it came to detailing events when interviewed. https://archive.org/stream/Gamefan_Vol_2_Issue_06#page/n129/mode/2up Jasson Kingsley appears to take credit about doing Atari Star Raiders on the Atari 800..that’s Doug Neubar.. He then tells a story of Atari approaching them after seeing their 3D Engine on PC Eye Of The Storm. Yet... Chris Kingsley claims they went to Atari with a Dragons vs Viking Longboat tech demo, trying to secure contract to do a Falcon title, got given the Jaguar contract instead. https://metro.co.uk/2017/12/04/25-years-of-rebellion-from-alien-vs-predator-to-2000-ad-and-beyond-7129407/amp/ Same claim made in Gamestm interview a while back. Clearly a lot of bad blood between all parties, but an awful lot of contraindications given in interviews by both as well.
