Alien vs. Predator 3 - Alien Reveal Trailer

Ross_Mahon

Finally the Alien trailer has been released! Xenomorph fans will be impressed.

Coriolanus

I've been waiting for this for what, ten years give or take?

Everything I've seen so far has looked great, but I'm really trying hard to not get my hopes up.

And yeah, xenomorph fan here. CAn't wait for the online play, me has a feeling marines are going to predominate like last time. Commence slaughter!

Dunder Mifflin

Seriously can't wait for this. Gonna be awesome.

There's something wrong with that video... wrong aspect ratio and I see 2 YoutubeHD logos, did someone record it off their screen and upload it again? lol

Looks brilliant .

Mr. K

It's looking rather cool. The Aliens are way cooler than the others!

LoGiE

I really loved the previous 2 games so I think I may have found the reason to beef up my rig....

Cant wait for this, i have my heart set on some awsome chest busting multiplayer

Agricola

I still have AVP 2 here. Class game. First aliens game I played was Alien Ressurection on PSOne. Remember me and my college flatmate playing it on a (then huge) 32" TV and scareing the sheet out of ourselves.
Nothing like the sound of that motion tracker beeping faster! :eek:

This new game looks good. Cant wait

Well apart from some moments in the trailers that look suspiciously like Quick Time Events, I have been impressed with the visuals of the game. Time will tell whether it actually plays any good. I'll be most curious about the multiplayer because by god I had some fun times with AvP2 multiplayer

marine = easy
Predator=medium
Alien= in ****ing sanely hard


I actually like the unbalanced nature of the 1st 2, with todays tech if they keep that kind of unbalancing this could be one of the best games ever.

Mulitplayer with say 10 people 7 marines 2 preds and 1 alien but with the alien getting respawns could be a bit of fun.

rebellion havent been great over the years so this could end badly.

pixelburp

I'm calling it right now:

• The 3 SP campaigns will total about 6 hours gameplay, or otherwise be considered "forgettable"
• There will be Quick Time Events & unavoidable
• Multiplayer will be unbalanced and / or the maps rubbish
• There'll be some half-assed attempt at DLC
• The PC port will suck monkey balls

Best. Game. Ever.

yeah some old point n click classicism i miss that stuff n Waxworks! u know i need proper 18+ tagged stuff, games lately r way timid. blame australia?! fluffy pups for censoring games.

this i hope Sega don't botch, don't really trust em. the Predator looks :cool: too.. but not the human

Ross_Mahon

I hope they put the game mode in were you start of as a facehugger and then molt depending on what you pounced, And you can even become the queen after a certain amount of kills.

Hmmm, the latest EuroGamer preview isn't exactly what you would call "stellar" in its praises:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/aliens-vs-predator-hands-on

It seems the balance is way off, though it seems that multiplayer is more geared towards the "Infestation" and "Predator hunt" modes, which do sound lots of fun...

"In the former, a variation of Last Man Standing. all but one player starts as a Marine, with the other starting as a solitary Alien. Every Marine killed then comes back as an Alien, and since they get infinite respawns, the tide of Xenomorphic death can't be stopped - only delayed until you go down in a blaze of glory assisted by a last-minute weapons drop.

In Predator Hunt - and you need no further indication of how overpowered the Predator is than this - there is only ever one Predator, with the rest of the match taking the role of Marines. Whoever manages to kill the Predator becomes it, and the goal is to secure the most kills as the Predator for the glory of the hunt."

*Looks at wallet*

Im gonna wait this one out.

I think that sounds pretty cool, I'm sick of traditional game modes.

I like the way they describe the balance issues. A predator should always be better then a single Xenomorph or Marine (unless the marine is Austrian or Danny Glover). I much prefer the idea of everyone being a marine at the start, bar the 1 Predator or Alien. Granted, if the Alien or Predator player sucks, then the games could be pretty ****.

i cant wait for this game

koneko

The MP was definitely unbalanced when I played it, but it really depended on who you asked as to which one was best.

I tore up the place as the Marine, and sucked when I got to play as the Alien.

Fun though.

Ok... let me get the timeline right? When is this set?

They have Lance Henriksen (Bishop from Aliens) doing the voice of a Charles Bishop Weyland (the character he played in AVP), how is he still alive? This looks like it is a fair bit into the future? Is he a clone now?

pixelburp

I presume he's the descendant of the guy from AvP the movie (*shudder* wish we could forget that rubbish. Doubly so the sequel)?

Bishop was a synthetic robot, him being cut in half was a bit of a giveaway.

Yeah I know that :rolleyes: which is why I asked is the Bishop in the new game a clone also... synthethic robot.. whatever... a duplicate :pac: Glad they got him to do the voice though, makes it feel more in canon (even if it isn't)

he was a clone in the movie

I think that Modern Warfare 2 were trying to destroy the competition by putting sentry guns and the motion tracker into their game, But AVP3 still looks delightful, Which side will you choose?

:rolleyes: yeah I said I know that, I've seen Aliens. But he is a clone of a real human, the human in AVP. I'm just wondering what Bishop has to do with the new game. Where does he tie into it?
