Marine trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/marin ... s-vs/53511

I am interested in this, simply because it's AvP.

I hope it's not all dark corridors though, that'll get boring pretty quickly.

I'm just happy this isn't a movie.

You just reminded me of the debacles that were the AvP films.

Urge to kill... rising...... :explode:

(Not kill you, Charlie, urge to kill the movies)

I thought those movies were hilarious. I mean, I know they are terrible but I honest to god thouroughly enjoyed renting avp.


.......


...alright lets see how many 's are in charlie or kissinger's reply.

That looks off the HOOK, yo! Though, I hadn't heard about a new one coming out. Is it going to be like the other AvP games and allow you to play all three sides?

I think I watched the first AVP while drunk and mocking it loudly with a group of friends.

I was hoping this was about an AvP movie. That would be amazing, such great source material for a strong film I think.

Why haven't any production companies jumped on this yet?

There's a page on it in the August issue of GamePro, only a little information on it as it is still in the works.

Yes.

Additionally, I believe that the same people who did the first AvP game are doing this one.

This is why I'm letting myself get excited about the game.

if you enjoyed getting drunk and mocking it, i think it did it's job admirably

I'm excited about this. I always wanted to play the original in MP mode with friends, but no one had it. I think I can get them on board now - especially since we're used to class based games now (which this is, essentially).

Having all 3 sides showcased well at the same time within 2 hours is probably a daunting task they're no willing to take on just yet... and they wouldn't want to make a movie where they missed the point entirely...

As long as it's as good as AVP2 the game and not AVP2 the movie, I'll be happy.

I think I'm going to reinstall AVP 2 right now.

Whoah sucks to be a marine.

I'm guessing they'll probably have some sort of all out team death match where you pick sides I guess.
Looks awesome can't wait to play as a Predator though.

If they ever do make a film about both xenomorphs and Yautja, they would have to do something like this:

Set it in the same era as "Aliens" and pit a small group of civilians in a survival situation on a space station overrun with xenomorphs, maybe as a result of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation's experiments again. At the beginning of the film, Colonial Marines could come to see why the station has stopped responding, and attempt to rescue the survivors. They would spend a lot of time fighting and running away from Aliens. After approximately halfway through the film, a Predator would be revealed and shown to also be hunting the Aliens. It would periodically appear and take out a marine or an alien, acting as both antagonist and saviour to the human civilians, but remaining in the background of the film like an unknown, abstract threat, compared to the constant, unrelenting threat of the Alien swarm. Near the end, all but one of the colonial marines would be dead, and maybe a one or two of the civilians would also have died. They would be faced with an Alien Queen, but, with no airlock in sight, the remaining Marine would be forced to heroically fight her. After wounding her and fighting bravely, he would be killed, but then the Predator would arrive to finish off the Queen. It would then take her head, regard the civilians but leave them alone because they are unarmed, and leave the ship.

Predators must never be made the protagonists of an AvP film, but they likewise cannot be quite as obvious an antagonist as the xenomorphs, as they at least have a code of honour.

On topic, this game looks great. I have fond memories of playing the original AvP in the early '00s. I wonder if Predaliens and Xenoborgs will make an appearance?

I'll probably enjoy playing the Marine campaign. A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal a banquet. Every paycheck a fortune. Every formation a parade. I LOVE the Corps!

This looks pretty cool.

I hope it will have a good Vs. factor like L4D. You can play any of the three against each other. Balancing it will be tough. I can see player going "suicide" with alien mob to use the acid blood attack.

The previous games were balanced just fine. The Aliens are fast, stealthy and have a possible one hit kill. Predators are juggernauts, and the Marines are versitile (multiple weapons, movement detectors).

If this game is even a fraction of the fun of the last 2, it will be great.

I really hope they keep the story mode along the same lines, where there's a seperate campaign for all 3 races. And I don't care if it's a rehash from the previous game, but I want the alien to evolve in it's campaign like it did in AVP2. You start out as a face hugger and find a victim, then you actually burst your way out of the body as a chest burster and then consume until you evolve into an adult alien.

This really isn't any better than the current AvP movies.

Man, i cannot wait for the new AvP game. The original and 2 are still installed on my pc at home. I play it every couple of weeks. my brother and I played these things religiously back when they came out, and god damn were they fun. I think I will go back and play avp2 again tonight. I know there are still active servers up for it out there.
