There’s a new article on CVG where Rebellion give us an update on how the demo’s been doing. Basically, it’s had 14,000 downloads on X-Box Live with an approval rating of 4.5/5. There was an issue with the PC demo where people had difficulty with the matchmaking. That was patched almost straight away, however PS3 users are still left unable to play the demo unless you do it via friends. Here’s what they had to say on the matter:
“The one unforeseen issue was the matchmaking on PS3, that really came out of left field and we’ve still got Sony engineers helping us look into what is at fault. I understand why people question how it wasn’t spotted sooner but we just can’t replicate that kind of scale in normal testing.
“Had we left Create and Browse Games in there as with the full game the problem wouldn’t have been so serious. Bottom line is we’re really sorry to all those PS3 owners and are working as fast as possible to find a solution which will help them enjoy the demo too.”
There’s a couple of new articles. There’s a new preview on CHUD, Guardian and XBox360Achievements and an interview on Kotaku. The Kartel have recently uploaded a “mega feature” including interviews, hands-on impressions and more.
There’s also a new review in Game Informer Magazine (scan here) where it scored 5.75/10. I wouldn’t take too much stock of what he said because the things he was complaining about aren’t really relevant. Thanks to Tim, ikarop, newbeing and Richman678 for the news.
On the PS3 too? I think it'll only be with the PC version.
There won't be matchmaking in the full release so you don't have to worry about that.
I got the demo for PC but i'm getting the 'Hunter Edition'
for PS3. Can't wait to get all the exclusive goodies like the facehugger lifesize model!
Just remember if you ever get in trouble
GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!!!
Still want crouch though for human and pred.
Remove block for alien also for gods sake.
anyways, ppl need to stop complaining about the iron sights shit, not VERY game hgas it, and this game DOESNT NEED IT at all, i get 30 kills as marine every time i have no problems aiming whatsoever!!
We'll see on Tuesday, wish it still was pre 2005 b4 the f**king console generalization..
SO FUN
Im just dissapointed that their is no splitscreen multiplayer
Oh well i'll be owning people On live as a predator
ALSO WISH IT ISNT ALWAYS A FIGHT TO BE ABLE TO BE A PREDATOR ON MULTIPLAYER
i too like to look down the barrel for a better shot in fps games
aka iron site
more imersive than a crosshair fired from the hip on screen (something i thought they,d add in this game for added atmospere).nerve jingling when your ammos low,and every enemys death counts due to precice death dealing.but then again controllers are shit for this mode of play.
same with crouch taking cover from flying projectiles jesus this became a gaming staple 15years ago even if its to fit in small vents or crawl under a bulkhead
again even tho i pre ordered i know they just ported this from console but had the decency to leave some pc elements in it and told us
I'm not obsessed with zoom. Nor am I the only one whose requested this. Its a staple of FPS's in general, and its an option I feel is sorely missing from the game. That's it. I am amazed at how asking for, or would like to see, iron sights and crouching are reacted to in such vehement ways, its just almost laughable. "shut the f**k up" is usually the most requested response when this is brought up (great discourse by the way). If you guys don't want it, or don't care for it, I certainly don't attack you for it, just voicing an opinion. Still gonna pick this up regardless.
Don't play halo, and haven't played L4D, so, sorry, no comparison there. but thanks for the assumption.
Still would rather have iron sights, just feels more natural, but thanks for your belligerent response, you must be incredibly easy to get along with.

Not having ADTS is like not having a reload button for me. So that is one area in the new AvP game I already knew would disappoint me. All FPS should have ADTS in my opinion. Without it, its like not being able to look up or down in the days of the original Doom.
That's Awesome!
Cant say I'm surprised by that review. Especially once the gameplay vids started coming out, all the clues were there to be honest. The SP does look horribly linear and too consolized.
Like most peeps in here, I'm gonna cross my fingers this is just a one off bad review. But considering this is GI which is known for its usually very accurate reviews, I'm not gonna hold my breath.
It better not affect the continued development of Gearbox ACM game, because that game really shows true promise and IMO its about time we got back to the pure forms of these franchises.
Does the 360 get it too?

they hit the one point I'm still curious about, but I guess was verified. every screen shot I've seen of this game looks gorgeous, but the actual game doesn't come anywhere near the visuals I've seen. I'm a little surprised by that. So...what the heck were all those photos from? even the demo doesn't look all that great, but is still fun to play (wish there was iron sights and crouching though...still).

But i can't find scans.
Well we are gonna have to agree to disagree. I recon the XBOX version looks better. same scinario as with Operation Flashpoint: Dragon rising.
Funny how their last game got rated 1.5 out of 10! LOL
the ps3 pulse rifle is better imo cuz it DOESNT blind ya with its muzzle flash, xbox version does....
also the glow/burn effect i dont see any diff at all, maybe ur comparing 2 different monitors?
cuz a tv can be VERY diff than other tvs...
contrast ratio - the HD quality? - hd ready or full hd - all that stuff counts towards how the game looks so dont compare games on diff screens, use the same screen
also wtf? Game Informer what is wrong with you. I guess that message that Rebellion gave us at the title screen dosn't mean anything.
