New Aliens vs Predator

Nice looking engine.
Hope it's not as linear or as script heavy as Call Of Duty, one of the cool things about playing the Alien Vs Predator was diffrent ways in which to approach things.

Yea i think thats especially true for the Predator.
 
New footage premiered tonight on Game Trailers TV, and OMG, it was incredible looking! First person, and it looks like it makes you feel like you're either Alien or the predator. :wow::up:
 
Damn, I hope it's on the YT soon. I really can't wait to kickass as a Predator or Marine. From what I've heard the alien sounds the least fun, but some gameplay could change that.
 
Dammit, forgot to watch, at least there is an encore later.

If not youtube, check gametrailerstv.com
 
When do they add episodes to the site? There's one on there now that has something about MW2.
 
Just keep refreshing, last time I looked up something it was up by the end of the show.
 
Loving it.

I love how the alien's tongue still chomps after it's been ripped out.
 
Looks great, but it has 90% of chance of being just awful, and 7% of being just ok.
Let´s hold to the hope of the 3% that remain of actually being a great game.
And before asking why i´m being so negative...i´m not, but the game is made by Rebellion, so, don´t get your hopes too high.

Out of curiosity, the last great game they made (you can say, the only great game they ever made) was in fact the their first game, Alien vs Predator, back in 1994.
And they are the ones that made the original AVP for the Jaguar, which is seen as the best game in that console.
But, after that, they all went downhill.

They made the 1st, the second was made by Monolith (Blood, No One Lives Forever, F.E.A.R.,...).
And, like i said, AVP was the only good game they ever made (or one of the very few).

You just pretty much argued against yourself. You say the game will suck because its being made by Rebellion who has a bad track record, but then you go on to say that their only good game was an Alien Vs Predator game, which they are currently making now :huh: .

Because Rebellion has had success making an AvP game work, i think there is a higher chance of it not sucking. I think you need to find another reason as to why the game will suck, i dont think Rebellion is it.

AVP was made in 1994, that´s 15 years ago.
In 15 years, all they did was crap.

I mentioned the AVP just out of curiosity, because like i said and you said it, they actually made a good game out of that, so, let´s hope it happens again (i´m all for the game, it´s AVP afterall).
I´m just saying to not get your hopes very high, but let´s hope Rebellion returns to form after 15 years and makes an amazing game.

Well they have success making an AvP game, i mean they were the ones who created the original game. I think they know what it takes to make a good AvP game, they have done it before. They dont need to deviate too much from their orig formula, just update it. I much rather have Rebellion on this, then say Treyarch.

They made Sniper Elite :cmad:
They also did Judge Dredd: Dredd VS Death, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (see, a AVP game mde by them that sucks) and ShellShock 2: Blood Trails.

The point is, imo, Rebellion is more was more interested in being a comic book publisher than an actual video game developer (they bought 2000 AD back in 2000 from Fleetway, so, they actually own Judge Dredd and Co), that might be the reason why they went downhill.
But, they are making coming back, as they bought the Evil Genius Ip back in 2005, and the developers Core Designs (Tomb Raiders creators) and Strangelite back in 2006.
So, let´s hope the game is amazing (i´m all for a great AVP game and a good return to form by a developer), but, until it actually gets released, let´s not get our hopes very high, because, the higher the climb, the harder the fall.
 
E3 2009: Aliens vs. Predator Preview
Eyes on with the Colonial Marines tour of Rebellion's top-tier shooter.
by Martin Robinson, IGN UK

UK, June 2, 2009 - Let's get one thing straight off the bat; the Alien films are great, the first being a masterclass of suspense that resulted in one of the most dread-infused sci-fi flicks of all time. James Cameron's 1986 follow-up, while taking a wildly different path to Ridley Scott's original, had a masterstroke of its own, transposing the Dirty Dozen into space and thus spawning the definitive gung-ho action flick. Heck, we've even got time for the latter Aliens films, with David Fincher's third instalment providing its fair share of memorable moments and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's take on the franchise wasn't without a little Gallic charm.

Likewise, the Predator films are in a class of their own. The Danny Glover fronted sequel may be a run-of-the-mill movie, but it did little to detract from the towering greatness of John McTiernan's original. While essentially little more than Alien in the jungle, the addition of Arnie in his prime to the mix helps produce one of action cinema's most thrilling two hours.

This being the case, how come the two Aliens Vs Predator films are so damn shonky? Reducing such awesome source material into such crass and uninspired fare is an achievement in itself, but it still doesn't stop the pain some fans feel at such a missed opportunity.

Thankfully, Rebellion isn't taking the torrid AVP films as source material for its first person shooter, the Oxford developer's third crack at the licence following 1994's seminal Jaguar game and its 1999 PC follow-up. Instead, next year's game takes as its inspiration only the most iconic of the Aliens and Predator games, with our recent eyes-on revealing a litany of moments drawn from Cameron's Aliens and McTiernan's Predator.

They're evident in the walkthrough with the Predator, from Alan Silvestri's familiar percussive soundtrack to dialogue snatched straight from the mouths of Dutch and co. Not only will the Predator's toolset strike a chord with fans of the movie, but so too will periphery details such as the skin-stripped corpses hanging from the trees.

While the references in the Predator section are merely implicit, for the Marines walkthrough they're much more brazen; indeed, the demo we saw resembled nothing less than a playable version of Aliens, a dream for sci-fi fans ever since the film's 1986 release. The steel-lined shafts and vents of the game's colonial setting provide a tantalising analogue of the LV-426 of Cameron's vision, with the lighting and shadow work lifted almost wholesale from the film – and there's even a discarded power loader

This level of dedication to the source material stretches out to the areas you'd expect; naturally, the Marine's weapon of choice is the Pulse Rifle, and it makes all the right noises as it fires in bursts of that iconic ripple. James Horner's original score for the film seems to have been appropriated, and, of course, the motion detector emits a faithful sweep and bleep as well as proving a useful tool as xenomorphs attack from every angle.

The scenario we're witness to comes from the latter half of the game, with the Marines barricaded in one of the colonies and recuperating from a vicious alien assault. Sentry guns protect the perimeter, with the player activating them remotely from various laptops. It's a scene that's strongly reminiscent of one late on in the Aliens film, pulled from the original theatrical release but restored for the Special Editions, in which the Marines use sentries against hordes of aliens.

Flares illuminate the corridors, the dim light amplifying in the terror as the motion sensor warns of movement in the darkness. With the motion sensors bleeps getting ever more frantic, the player works their way towards one of the makeshift barricades, where stricken marine calls for help. In classic Aliens style, a xenomorph pulls him through a thin gap in the barricade, heralding the start of an all out attack as the monsters come through the walls.

Our look at Aliens Vs Predator comes to an end, but not before our Marine has dealt out some close quarters damage with his trusty shotgun. It's a spectacular end to the demo, with the Marine looking just as impressive as his Predator counterpart. Thankfully, it seems that this is the Rebellion that made solid fare such as Rogue Troopers rather than the one that peddled the woeful Shellshock 2, and this should be a return to form for the Oxford studio.

There is of course one part still missing from the equation, though SEGA and Rebellion won't be showing the Alien sections until a time nearer the game's release. If it's as expertly implemented as everything we've seen to date, there's every reason to believe that this game will live up to the legacy of its cinematic forebears.
