Yeah, we made Rogue Warrior...

...but don't hold that against us.

From Now Gamer:

When it was pointed out to [Rebellion's lead designer] Alex Moore that both Shellshock 2: Blood Trails and recent flop Rogue Warrior might influence gamers' feelings towards the upcoming Aliens vs Predator, the developer insisted that they were worlds apart.

'I thought this question would come up and I suppose it’s something you’ve got to ask,' Moore said in an interview with X360 magazine. 'I would hope that people can see that Rebellion’s roots are in AvP. We’ve put an awful lot of time and effort and investment into AvP. Just the devotion to it and the fact that… I’ve got to be so careful what I say.'
AvP had damned well better be "worlds apart" from Rogue Warrior. It's nice to see the tacit admission that the latter was crap, but the question remains: if you value your reputation - if you take any pride in your work at all - why would you even think about releasing a game like RW?
