Sega wants to make AVP into a franchise

Friday 19-Mar-2010 9:13 AM Along with Alpha Protocol and Bayonetta

7 Comments

Sega has told CVG that it is very keen on creating sequels for Bayonetta, Aliens Vs Predator and Alpha Protocol.

Speaking in the second part of an exclusive interview, Sega West president Mike Hayes said that the firm was also ready to take the Total War series 'in a new direction,' although presumably that will remain on PC after the less than thrilling sales of Spartan: Total Warrior.

"We want to get the core games right before anything else," said Hayes. "We've got our shooter with AvP and our RPG with Alpha Protocol - we really want to make those into franchises.

"If you think about it, we can sequel-ise Bayonetta, AVP, Alpha Protocol and we can make a hit of something like Vanquish. Add that to Football Manager and Virtua Tennis - we actually have a broad portfolio."

Hayes (who's a lovely chap, incidentally, and now the most important non-Japanese suit at Sega) had previously told the site that the firm is looking to bulk up its Xbox 360 sales in 2010.
