    I want this to be so good, I want this to be the console version of the glorious PC games, Rebellion better not make a pigs mickey out of this one, like that dreadful RTS thing they insulted us with.

    Did the same thing myself, very reasonable price to be honest.


    Amazon have it for €18 but doesnt come with custum skins, so whats a extra €5.

    Plus its still 50% cheaper than Steam for exactly the same package.

    I hadn't checked Amazon . . . oh well I'm still happy!

    This game uses SteamWorks, so you get to register it on Steam anyway.:)

    Amazon charge shipping though so it works out just under €28.

    According to avpgalaxy.net it's both!!!

    Well I suppose it's a semi-good sign they're demo'ing both the single and multiplayer aspects, they can't be too dismayed with their product.

    So while I'm still wearing my sceptic'les, I reserve the right to go "eep!" :D

    I preordered mine from Play a while ago too, just under €24 compared to what they were asking for Modern Warfare 2 for a much shorter game, AvP is supposed to be quite long according to one of those dev videos, sweet.

    BTW can you add this to Steam if you buy it elsewhere for achievements?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Ross_Mahon




    I've been playing AVP2 a lot lately to get hyped up! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,010 ✭✭✭marko93


    I just pre-booked my Hunter edition :D

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,605 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Anyone know what size the demo will come in at?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭PirateShampoo


    Cant wait, its shame we probably wont get it till Friday though as Steam have scheduled a big down time tomorrow.

    "Planned Downtime on Thursday, February 4th
    February 2, 2010, 11:50 am - Valve - General Announcement

    Beginning at 6:00 pm Pacific time Thursday February 4th, we will be performing software maintenance on some Steam servers. We expect the resulting downtime to last three hours at most, putting the end of the window at 9:00 pm Pacific time.

    Some Steam services will be offline during this time. Affected services will include the Steam Community, in-game matchmaking or lobbies, downloading games from Steam content servers, and making purchases from the Steam store. Games that do not rely on Steam matchmaking services should remain playable.

    News updates and any further information will be posted in this space.

    We will work to make this downtime as short as possible. Thank you for your patience!"

    Graphics look terrible, hopefully the gameplay is good. I've a funny feeling we're going to be disappointed though. Too much hype is never a good sign

    Theres a demo out before the games release.

    A very rare thing these days, rebellion have sucked balls for years tho.


    Im still optimistic but after BCBFBFBFBFB2 i am wary.

    But for 23 quid i will buy it :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,815 ✭✭✭Burgo


    I'll wait for the demo before i consider buying.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,605 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Guys never fear, the demo is available right now:
    http://store.steampowered.com/app/34200

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature

    Yes, in bizarro world, good graphics are terrible.
    And hype, theres been hardly any :confused: Most people are still thinking this is going to be terrible. I remain cautiously optimistic.

    Indeed, if anything there has been an aura of negativity and a sense of the inevitable creeping out of gamers' opinions. "Hype" is definitely not a word you could apply to this game. "Dread" might be closer to the mark.

    Oh and the graphics look current generation, which I suppose is as good or as bad as you think that is. Me? I'm a bit sick of the plastic-wrapped, harshly lit, chunky-world look that modern games possess, but in this case I think it suits.
