    Another classic Hudson quote

    "What do you mean "THEY cut the power"? How could they cut the power, man? They're animals!"

    I really hope this has the atmosphere from the marine campaigns of AvP2 (the better game imo). The way the tension built up at the start was fantastic. I'd also love for intelligent Alien AI. Such as running up walls and on the ceiling to avoid fire, or ducking into vents and emerging behind you. I'll be totally disappointed if they're all Max Payne style (like in the recent AvP:R movie).

    Max Payne was amazing! Does this mean we wont be able to play as the Predator or Alien? I cant read up about it cos all the gaming sites are blocked here.

    I don't mean to put down Max Payne, its just that I hate when the Aliens are portrayed as having no capacity to communicate or act intelligently. However according to wikipedia in the game they will be smart and will use the vents and try flank you.

    The wiki article also said the game will feature the motion tracker :D Also no HUD, which I'm in two minds over. And quicktime events, which I am very much against.

    Oh God, please don't tell me "quicktime events" means those Dragon's Lair style button timing bullsh1t mini-chores, as recently stank up Clive Barker's Jericho

    small hands on preview. This made me almost orgasm tho:

    "There'll be a range of both claustrophobic indoor combat and less-restrictive outdoor conflict. Art on show in Gearbox HQ shows city areas, too. Though we'll probably be happy about being cooped up in a dingy colony base, with plenty of room to hide, when it's time for the Make A Stand scenarios.

    These pre-determined moments see you first holing up and preparing a location to defend, with bomb-traps or auto-turrets, or by sealing doors with hand-torches. Then, the aliens begin to swarm your position. We're wetting ourselves already."

    Good lord. That's the first thing in years I've heard about a pc game that has actually excited me. Assuming they make a good job of it and the alien AI is up to scratch.

    I think the consoles could stand a really good Colonial Marine FPS, I have to say, as a very sad fan of the movies I would love to see us driving APCs and piloting, even remote piloting, dropships too, could be the basis for a mod on Battlefield I guess.

    But seeing the open battles of the Aliens comic books and the claustrophobic stuff of the movies, a combo of the best of both would be great, although, it has to said, humans never ever come off well in the comic books!
