Aliens vs. Predator
 

There is an article on this game in the newest OXM and it kind of surprised me. It appears it is a spiritual successor to the oh-so-awesome PC game several years back. Anyone heard anything about this?

I absolutely loved the old PC game so I'm cautiously optimistic about this version.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Haven't read much info about the game other than it's made by the same people that made the original and that it's supposed to play a lot like the original. A bunch of screenshots can be found here, and if they are any indication, this game has a lot of potential. Hopefully this game turns out to be as good as it looks

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Damn, that looks really good.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

The PC game was some of the most fun multiplayer i had ever had back in the day. I played a mean mean alien.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

was this the game that was on Atari Jaguar?

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

No, this is a FPS. The Jaguar game was the side scrolling brawler wasn't it?

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

The Jaguar game WAS a FPS as well....you could play as either a Predator, an Alien, or a Marine....it was one of the only good games on the system....

The AvP side scrolling brawler was the arcade game....

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Did the AvP sidescroller ever come out on a console? For some reason i thought i remembered playing it on a console as well as in the arcade.

I never played the Jaguar version of the game, which sounds like a shame. :( I think the only Jaguar games i ever played were a Sim Theme Park game and a Fantasy Zone. :lol:

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

The AvP sidescroller was on SNES, I believe.

As for this, awesome. By far the most fun I ever had doing multiplayer was on AvP 2.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

I loved the first but never played AvP2 on the PC. Was it well balanced like the first one was?

I really enjoyed playing the highly mobile and very fragile Aliens. The Predators seemed like unstoppable tanks and the humans also seemed fragile but with tons of ammo. :lol:

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

The Alien runner (or was it called a Scout? I can't remember) was awesome. So frickin' fast.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

AvP on the Jaguar was a lot of fun. If Atari had more competent management, the Jaguar could have been a contender.

AvP on the PC was perhaps the most FPS fun I've ever had.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

The PC version was very underrated imo. Another underrated PC FPS was the Wheel of Time game. I really enjoyed all the complexity and how the spells countered one another.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

HOT!!!

Over at Teamxbox three new screen shots and a very small trialer (1 minute) which is like the new COD with flashes. The screen shots however well....take a look for yourself. If the game is going to look like "THIS" then all we need is some great in game play and we're set. Aliens, Predators and yes Colonial Marines...my oh my.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Still lookin sexy.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

I know they still have a good ways to go and it's looking good but still a bit rough. They do have the Alien model down and the "heat vision" of Predator as well. Considering it's not scheduled for Q1 - 2010 I say even better is coming later. Still like to hear more on the storyline, time, place and oh yes...co-op.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

New trailer is up over at Teamxbox...Man I'm sold...they've got the "Predator" down. Shades of the movie "Predator" with Ah-nold...this is freakn' awesome!!

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

The first Alien game on PSone was a scary as hell when them damn facehuggers jumped at you.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Cool new member from 2000?

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Teamxbox has a new mini preview up. Half is on the game and the other half about techincal and history. A few new screen shots as well. If it's looking this good "now" and with the game scheduled for the first quater of 2010 you have to be feeling pretty good on the outlook.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

It goes by post count. You're a voyeur apparently.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Teamxbox has a brand new Marine trailer up. All I can say is...WOW...this is looking better each time.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Yes that trailer was very cool! Can't wait for this game. Wonder when it'll get a release date. 2010 is gonna be one jam-packed year for gaming goodness.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

A all new trailer up....Embrace The Shadows at Teamxbox

All new trailer up at Teamxbox....Aliens vs Predator Story Trailer

http://xboxmovies.teamxbox.com/xbox-...Story-Trailer/

Looking pretty good and a bit scarry at that.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

B Yu Tee Full!! Both trailers are outstanding! If I wasn't already psyched for this release I sure am now!

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

A new trailer is up at Teamxbox.....Kill Moves Trailer...showing all the different "Kills" by all three characters, Alien, Predator and Marine. This is gore central here....WOW....(just 16mb non-HD)

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Another trailer up called the Heritage trailer at teamxbox. This has some interesting side-by-side shots of the 1999 PC version.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

WOW :banana:.....they nailed the Predator vision and sounds. Besides be able to play each of the three characters you also have the other two going at it. As in the case the Predator is watching the Marines and Aliens going at it. And just a reminder...there is going to be a demo.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

wow thanks for posting that, the trailers thus far have had such quick cuts you didn't get to see much continuous gameplay footage. This looks great, I definitely think I'll be picking this up.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Is this online multiplayer only? It would seem to have high replay value if you could play single player through three different times with each playthrough being uniquely different.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

No, there are three campaigns for each character. The multiplayer in these games is like the icing on the cake.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Looks good. Looks real good.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

do we know when the demo is coming out and will it be Gold members only at first?

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

Iirc all demos are Gold members only for a week or somesuch.

Re: Aliens vs. Predator
 

I'm a little concerned with the dark levels. Check out this preview of the Marines single player campaign. That looks really dark, and my TV doesn't handle dark games very well.

<param name="movie" value="http://g4tv.com/lv3/43972" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://g4tv.com/lv3/43972" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="VideoPlayer" width="480" height="382" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" />

Aside from that, it looks like a lot of fun. I wasn't paying much attention to this game. But it might be a sleeper hit.
