Mark Baldwin from Team 17 has been talking about the timed exclusivity of Alien Breed on the 360. He told Gamerzine,
“To be honest, because of the success we had on the 360 with Worms, it made perfect sense to approach Microsoft with Alien Breed first. We were considering the episodic approach and wanted to talk to people who had experienced it, and Microsoft were really good. We had some great discussions and things just moved on from there.”
Baldwin then continued, “For the record we have a great working relationship with Sony and we can’t wait for Alien Breed to hit there. We are expecting Episode 1 of Alien Breed to hit PSN some time 2nd quarter 2010 and PC to hit 1st Quarter.”
So there you go, no Alien Breed PS3 until at least April next year, possibly June.

I can wait. It’s not exactly a ‘Triple A’ title is it?

I hope it’s worth the wait. I have some fond memories from the original.
Off topic: TC, please look at your comment on the US PS3 cluster…

So it’s out on the 360 in a week or so and we wait up to 6 months? Bollocks.

What does the Worms release have to do with Alien Breed? People buy Worms because it’s a fun game. Not because it is developed by Team17. People who bought Worms might not even like the genre of AB… Weird reason to stick with the XBox in my opinion. Well, not taking the load of money MS is paying Team17 into consideration.

Developers who treat me like a 2nd class citizen don’t get my money – period.
