Following our run through of the Colonial Marines campaign of Aliens vs. Predator (2010) earlier this year, we’re back to play through the Predator campaign! We’ll be uploading a new video to the Alien vs. Predator Galaxy YouTube Channel each day this week, beginning today with the Tutorial and Mission 1: The Jungle!
Our entire playthrough of the marine campaign is also up on the channel for your viewing pleasure if you haven’t already! We have also started producing some lore videos for Alien and Predator that are available to watch too! Be sure to check back in tomorrow for the next episode of our Let’s Play of the Predator campaign!
Keep a close eye on Alien vs. Predator Galaxy for the latest on Alien and Predator! You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get the latest on your social media walls. You can also join in with fellow Alien and Predator fans on our forums!
We're uploading our Alien campaign this week!
Yeah, completely agree. I love 2010 but I know there's a much stronger game buried in there, had Rebellion not been rushing to meet a release date to make up for Gearbox f**king Sega about.
Yep, planning on doing as much as we can. Probably back to PS1 days, at least. Will see about older.
Great Let's Play by the way. It brought back a lot of memories. Will you guys ever do some of the older games at some point?
It always bothered me how short the pyramid levels were. So much potencial, the multiplayer map was very cool and creative. Good video.
Even if I vehemently disagree with you both in places. Looking forward to Specimen Six.
Next mission is up!
I also like the use of Predator language and the HUD visuals. Takes a lot of cohones to record original sound for these creatures, rather than just ripping the effects straight from the films. Having the player's body rendered adds greatly to the role-playing factor. And the alien hive is probably still the most authentic-looking to date.
But. I'm immediately reminded why I can never bring myself to fully replay the game. It's pretty consoley in the worst way, with the quick-time-event glory kills, unfluid movement, focus jumping, small arsenal, limited options... And those glory kills do make me really uncomfortable. I don't want to jam wristblades into someone's eyes or impale someone arse-to-mouth, and I hate that I have to in order to play the game properly. I'd probably be okay with it if it just happened once or twice.
Also, it's strange to come back and look at those aliens now that we have Isolation. The rendering and animation is fantastic, but having them permanently crouched makes them look small. You don't feel the fear. The humans bug me too - not enough variety in faces or voice lines, and behaviour that just doesn't feel natural to me. I suppose it'd be hard to pick them off one by one if the marines all stuck together and formed firing lines, but perhaps this could be resolved by making Colonial Marine squads rare high-end opponents and have boggo security guards as the cannon fodder.
/Rant. There's a lot of good there, but a lot I don't like too. And thanks for doing these let's plays - it's good to hear your viewpoints on the subject. Also lets me appreciate parts of the game that I'd forgotten.
Sorry about the delay on this, had some downloading and encoding issues but the next part of the Predator campaign is good to go!

I also have the double Wristblades they gave Predators in this game.
Meh, great video
