:o So what exactly does the article say?
So The Wolf's got twin wristblades? Unless thats just some weapon upgrade or something.
Scar? How could it be scar?
I'll get the pages scanned later and try and upload them to the art section or something it too much to type but if the game is as good as the article says we are in for a treat! ;)

Ok cool what does it say about the plot? Anything about how the ship comes to crash? And does it say that the shoulder canon can be used as a handheld weapon?
The 3rd pic down looks like they're fighting during the day. The alien doesn't look that bad in the sun. :)
Anyway, love the twin wrist blades and hope that is in the movie.
well it does say that its the predator ship from predator(1987) but I think thats sierra's official throw us off the scent line!
But they let slip that it is a predator ship that crashes back to earth with a whole pile of facehuggers and a deeply infriendly Predator/Alien Hybrid.
15 levels of xeno blasting!
K-Mart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So amazingly glad that I have a PSP. :)
That and the fact they haven't copped out by making you have to be a human again. That gets boring, these days.
Is this mag available in the U.S.?
I don't think so :-\
Dang. Anyway you could get some higher resolution scans up?
Thanks for taking these pictures. They're great.
I really want to read the articles though.

Same ..
I am gonna try and find that magazine in ma local shop, just for the AVP bit ;D
Does the magazine have a website?
Also, any change of a screen of that picture on the bottom right of the double page spread?:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi209.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fbb149%2Fxenokiller90%2FDSC00015.jpg&hash=e3f7da806ea43f5003b7fc061454af0261d722ef)
Now gonna attempt to scan them into my pc,that picture looks like a concept painting there are three different ones in the article!
I've read the last page.
Kinda wondering if this Predator invading the school is going to work. The picture features the Predator in a basketball court. :-\
There's also an obvious error. They spelt Giger as Geiger.

They had a Predator in a bathroom in Predator 2, so it's no problem.
It's the Aliens we need to worry about. Honestly the whole concept of Aliens in a domestic setting is making me cringe.

Juat like me :P
But look at the third pic it looks like gunnison! And has anyone realised the games name is still Survival of the fittest?
I'm scared again. The game shows not only an alien in daylight, but says they will be battling in schools, shopping malls, and hospitals. It also confirms the spaceship with eggs on it. Why would the Predator spaceship from the first movie have eggs on it? It doesn't make any sense. This is beginning to sound more and more like the AICN script review. I don't care what Colin says. It has the same plot, characters, & settings. Not to mention he will be taking off his shoulder cannon to use as a hand held weapon. I'm afraid...I need trailer!
I agree. Too much of this movie sounds like that AICN review.
WHY IS THE GAME CALLED SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST?
Does it matter? Its the game not the movie!

If thats in the movie, it will be disappointing unless handled well. But keep in mind this is a videogame, and there has to be level variety.

Yea it does, because thats what the movie was gonna be called in the first place!
:D Next to the pic of the pred in the basketball court, it looks like the preds going down the slopes! wtf?

Its already been confirmed its (aliens vs predator)
Pessimism rising...can't stop thinking bad things...thinking about kittens...kittens with spikes...makes me angry...I NEED TRAILER!!
:D LOL book a holiday for a week go somewhere nice .. like gunnison and when you come back hopefully the trailer will be up?
i think we will get the trailer in 2 or 3 days
At least we have the damn game to actually show us more stuff about the damn movie!

maybe the pred works out in the school gym!Basketball anyone?
I have uploaded the pages they have just gotta go through admin,had some probs with file size ::)
Enjoy guys ;D

Some pages are a little hard to read. Can somebody point out the interesting things for me.
All i got was that theres upgrades like "dual shoulder plasma canons" and "plasma grenades".
You have to kill all the aliens and the predalien and destroy the wreckage before the humans get thier hands on it. Umm ..
checkout the pics at the bottom of pages 4 and 6 they look like before and after,maybe its the national guard before and after contact? cool pics though :)
I had no problem with it, but it looks like the Pred vision is the same as the first AVP film. Maybe it's just for the game. Curiously, it says the ship from the 1st Predator film is the one that crashes, not the ship from the 1st AVP movie. Not only do we get a picture of the Wolf in the ship from AVP, we get a picture of him in a more predator-like ship that we saw in P2. Interesting...
FROST? Aren't you the guy that "knows things"?
Why is this film sounding more and more like the AICN review!!! ???

I read that too. I hope it is true.
The earlier ship designs were already docked on the underside of the main ship. It's possible one of those was just used as an escape craft.
The article points out that placing the weapon in the hand makes the firing rate go up stupidly high, which doesn't make sense, but then it also has the disc being included in the game and we know that won't be in the film.
Man, I JUST came back from selling my psp. I sure feel like a dumbass now. :'(
You guys on the fourth page look at the bottom its alot of scienticts and marines in the woods with a crashed predator ship. and then on page 6 it says that the predator ship from 1987!?!
1987 it says the one from P1 hmm???
I like the pictures of the camp sites, and i nocticed the slaughtered one .
Is this mag out in the uk??
Yes, W.H. Smiths,asda,woolworths to name a few,new issue only came out Saturday.
I think that is not wolf... I mean... look at its avp1 armor.... doble blades? ... and that f**king smile!! no... please dont let it be true... please collin say it aint true...
Pred ship from the first predator movie? Thats just stupid.
Uzi-like hand-cannon? Hopefully its just rapid-firing in the game.
How come it's using the Alien designs from AvP and not AsvP? ???
I'll go pick this up tomorrow. So I can read it more clearly. And did I not just say hours before that Sierra would probably be doing this? :P
no need. im a fast typer...10 more minutes I reckon! ;D
Awesome. Your doing us a transcript then?
yeah almost there.

Article from magazine:
The good news is you're the predator. The bad news is the aliens don't like you. The good news is this game- a PSP exclusive-is based on the upcoming movie Alien Versus Predator 2. The bad news is the aliens don't like you. Again, the good news is you made the right choice. Nobody got access to Rebellion's fantastic-looking new slice of nightmarish sci-fi combat before us, or even knew of its existence.
This is its debut. The bad news is the aliens don't like you.
Not much can survive in the face of a grinning, fully-grown, acid-blooded, slimy, metal-toothed alien...even Ripley ran away. But as you know, predators are somewhat hard themselves. Survival of the fittest kits you out with all those deadly gadgets you'd expect; wrist blades, night-vision modes, shoulder cannon, invisibility cloaking, spears and much more- and lets you loose on the 'xenomorph' menace. But theres a catch. quite a few in fact. You're alone-its just you, an elite predator, against a horde of ceaseless space maniacs; a horde of ceaseless space maniacs who are already fighting the national guard, who in turn, aren't going to be sending
you any Christmas cards-none that aren't small and pointy and doing 750mph anyway.
Theres a war on and you're in the middle of it.
Thats right, the national guard-you're on Earth in Colorado to be precise in the small town of Gunnison; just as in the film. And it turns out theres nothing quite as effective as a familiar, typical little town-with its shopping malls, schools and hospitals-to make an Alien look really freaky. It gets worse. There are still parties of civilians in Gunnison and they're looking for their missing friends.Theyre unlikely to simply ask the nice man with the long hair which way Bubba Billy-Bob went and they're very likely to rustle up some pain and try to throw it all over you.
YOU'RE GHOSTING US
Stealth is an option with your cloaking device, of course (as long as you don't get wet) and you can use vision modes to track and hunt humans fairly easily. But this really isn't about creeping around apologetically avoiding confrontation. You're a predator and you have a box of weapons even Hans Bix wouldn't lift for too long, just feeling the weight.
Some we've mentioned already, but even the simples have brilliant abilities. Wrist blades are your default melee weapon for instance, but they can still be combined.
Similarly, the spear can take down multiple enemies AND has a useful auto-block feature if you're retreating, while the familiar boomerang-style predator disc will kill every one you've tagged-up in first person mode, one after the other,
before swooping back drenched in blood to your ever-loving hands
New weaponry is purchased with points learned from obeying your Honour system-more about this interesting code in a moment. And as you may be realising...the later, more sophisticated weaponry is a really severe health and safety liability.But then, it needs to be. Skilled players can work their way up to laser-trip mines, plasma grenades throwing stars and a modified hand-held cannon that delivers plasma bolts at uzi-type rates, the trademark shoulder cannon
and - better step out of the way- dual shoulder cannons. These enormous guns can be charged up by holding the trigger down- the longer you hold your nerve the more powerful the blast. On the down-side, it drains suit power furiously, leaving you temporarily at risk.There are even a few suit modifications to earn; such as the steel-wrist shield (deadly to anything it smashes into, but also draining on power) and an advanced cloaking capability.
VISION OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
You just wouldn't be the predator without your special vision modes, but you have them, so you must be the predator. Logic is such a wonderful thing. The three altered modes have three distinct uses. Firstly, theres the alien mode. This is tuned to highlight their acid blood, but will also show up whole aliens pretty well and even allow the tracking of creatures you've tagged-up. Aliens also show up on your wrist computer.Next theres heat mode. This is best for finding humans and useful machinery and can also be used for tracking- you don't have to attack, after all, as they could lead you to your enemy by obligingly getting horribly attacked. Lastly theres predator mode- rather than being handy for checking your lovely hair in mirrors, its designed to show up the all important bits of ship debris.
ALIEN VERSUS YOUR MATES
The main thrust of Alien Versus Preadtors multi-player, is a 'last stand'-type mode. It's a xxx xxxx mode that allows four players to get together as predators and fight off waves of hoarding aliens..where are the suitcase-sized sentry guns when you need them eh? xxxxxxxx xxx locating one would help. The multi-player mode is one thing Rebellion has been slightly tight-lipped about detail-wise,but the number of times they've mentioned it and the survival of the fittest subtitle; thats just oh so ept, tell us it certainly wont be merely a token wi-fi presence. And if theres anything more mouthwatering than aliens on your PSP, its the same aliens all over everyone whos xxxx. This latter improvement allows you to track aliens as well as humans...aliens hunt by pheromone, so for most of the game those bishop ripping bugs can smell you coming. Wait. We were busy explaining what a dreadful shitstorm you've landed in, spaxx in the middle there, but got sidetracked, thats right it gets worse still. Besides the hostile mobs, frightened soldiers and the growing infestation of perfect otherworld killing machines, there are the scuttling little face huggers. And the chest bursters. Think thats just a normal healthy man you're fighting? Good luck with that.
At this point you may be wondering what this tangled bunch of super bastards is doing in the town of Gunnison, Colorado. But before we get to that, we should clear up the whole honour system thing, as that's what keeps you kitted out and hopefully breathing while you're there. The predator, despite being a deadly seven foot wall trophy hunter from space, is actually pretty cool. You can point to the dreads and the slow mouth clicks and the oh-so retro spear if you like.... but his sense of hunters fair play has plenty to do with it too. The alien after all is just as good looking and far more deadly, but though hugely admired you couldn't call one cool. An alien couldn't pull Kate Moss but a predator might.... in some weird and weepingly sad alternative universe we've just invented that is.
ITS NOT ME
The predator kills though choice, not by nature... killing unarmed humans is not sporting. So you lose honour points for it. You even lose them for killing an alien
that hasn't killed anyone else or attacked you-hell, even a facehugger that hasn't impregnated anyone is a slight against your code of honour. Stalking and killing unarmed humans goes down very badly. Actually if you're feeling really hard you can play without your mask; sight is impaired and obviously you wont have the vision modes, but honour points are doubled, its either a quick way to glory or a quicker way to death. We cant decide. Amazingly, not quite everyone in Gunnison is trying to kill you, and leaving innocents to their fate is frowned upon..
letting humans be killed by aliens, facehuggers or chesbursters will also affect honour points negatively.
GIVE US A HUG
On the other hand, saving people from such horrors, whacking attackers and offing impregnated humans all earn you points. Better still, if you kill a prolifically murderous alien you get an extra point for each of their victims. Rejoice! They won't have died in vain! They'll have bought you a nice new gun which is sweet of them. We said we'd explain what everybody was doing in Colorado. Remember the predators ship from the original 1987 Arnie movie? Its crashed in the woods outside town setting free a whole pile of facehuggers and much worse- a deeply unfriendly predator/alien hybrid you're ultimately going to have to take down.
Of course, its also important you find and destroy the ship wreckage-it wont do to have pesky humans getting hold of it. Each of the 15 levels promises multiple routes and of course, theres the opportunity to customise and upgrade between the levels- it should lend itself well to replaying, if were lucky. But then HR Gigers crackly insectoid space bastards crawling up the walls and a Predalien hybrid waiting
for you the whole damn time-waiting with the unbalanced patience of a jilted lover-you're going to need plenty o'gf luck just to get through once. and the bad news is the aliens dont like you. the good news is your hair looks ace.
---------------------
sorry it took so long, the writers' disjointed wording was pretty horrible...add to that interlacing pixels making the last two pages a nightmare to decipher...ugh.
That said, this game sounds very cool.
;D
thanks wolf! that must've taken a while, most appreciated!
that sounds fantastic - a crying shame it's for the PSP... what i wouldn't give for another kickass AvP game on the computer. :(
Thanks a bunch thewolf.
I'm really, really worried right now : / On the bright sight, who knows if they built the game off the premise and not watching or reading the script. I mean, this game doesn't look like it took a day or two to make. :( I really hope we won't see a predator on a freaking basketball court and other things it shouldn't be doing. The honor system seems a bit tough too...
"The game was based on the early concepts for the film. There are many differences as you can see on not only the design level (No Wolf Helmet or Ridged Head Aliens) as well as the plot level (there's no basketball court or mall, etc.) The game designers went there own way with it so don't expect this to be exactly what the film is like or vice versa they are simply both based on the same premise."
That quote is from a plant on IMDB boards. So everything he says about the film is fact. Just thought I'd let everyone know. ;)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758730/board/flat/81788848?d=81807288&p=1#81807288
Well thats a relief, btw thanks wolf!
Yeah, thanks a lot for transcribing all of that... :)
I don't mind seeing it in a basketball court. Just look at the mundane locations seen in the 'Silent Hill' film adaptation.
I don't see why it would consider facehuggers not yet attacking anyone as 'innocent', however. It's also wanky that they're having it so that firing the weapons can uncloak them. At least it says nothing about having to decloak to fire them in the first place.

Hope that's true. That would explain all the horrible connections to the AICN script, as well as why the Aliens and Predator vision look the same as AVP.

how much exactly?
You even lose them for killing an alien
that hasn't killed anyone else or attacked you-hell, even a facehugger that hasn't impregnated anyone is a slight against your code of honour. Stalking and killing unarmed humans goes down very badly. Actually if you're feeling really hard you can play without your mask; sight is impaired and obviously you wont have the vision modes, but honour points are doubled, its either a quick way to glory or a quicker way to death. We cant decide. Amazingly, not quite everyone in Gunnison is trying to kill you, and leaving innocents to their fate is frowned upon..
letting humans be killed by aliens, facehuggers or chesbursters will also affect honour points negatively.
WTF!?
Here in Colorado its 4.95 i belive!

I agree. Basically it's telling me I can't kill a facehugger until after it has facehugged somebody, eliminating the point of killing it in the first place. LAME!
I can understand not wanting to kill innocents, but innocent ALIENS?! That is retarded...
"Oh, look a bazillion aliens! I'll kill em all with one huge trap."
few minutes later
"WTF!? -111000000000000000000000000000 Honor Points!! Screw you AVP2!!!"
Yeah. They tend to kill anything which is armed. Aliens are naturally armed.
youre all welcome...it did take alot longer than I expected!
secondly I believe Crom. Chances are this game was loosely based on a salerno draft not yet tinkered with by the brothers...hence the design takes it cues from the first AvP more than anything. We already know we wont see Aliens in the daylight etc.
Thirdly, whilst the concept of protecting people...and the whole innocent aliens thing sounds silly, I think it would make for a more involved, thoughtful gaming experience.
It does sound really cool.....that said, I dont have a PSP (have never seen the appeal of hand held consoles) but I think there will be a PS2 version....maybe.
Either way, theres always those next gen Alien games to look forward to....
It's stupid because isn't the whole point of the Predator coming here to kill the Aliens.? Why would he have to wait until they hurt someone to kill them? God, that is a insanely stupid game mechanic. There is no such thing as unarmed or innocent Aliens!
Innocent Aliens with a soul.
Aliens in rehab.
:)
lol
This game looks good, but why the hell is it only out on psp? Why I say, WHY!!! It's about time the other platforms got a dose of alien/predator goodness. And what the hell is with not being allowed to kill aliens unless they've attacked someone! They're killing machines!
that looks like one great game
thank god i bought a psp ;D
You lose honour points for killing an lien that hasn't hurt you or a human civilian, what the hell, so what, u have to wait until the alien attacks you or a person before fighting it ???

THats not what he said at all. He said its bad to let a human get facehugged. I.E. its bad to simply stand back and let all the innocent humans get taken over by the aliens.
i hate that

Knowing the Aliens, I doubt you'll be waiting long. :P

Don't really get ^ that 'cause Facehuggers die when they've impregnated a host... :-\
^Exactly! That's why it doesn't make any sense.

Gives you time to look at the graphics :P
yeah it must be based on a totally different draft than what the brothers have used
because we've been told numerous times The Wolf is here to clean up a mess, not hunt for sport. now obviously he might do a little hunting humans on the side in between massacring the Aliens that have escaped, and that would require honor, but for him to have to let an Alien kill a human before he can kill it? wtf kind of mission is that?! he'd be following them all over the world lol [more or less, i know aliens like to "kill" stuff] :D
Thats the one thing thats annoying me about this. The PSP has pretty poor graphics and poor controls...
If that writer says 'the aliens don't like you' one more time >:( bang, zoom, strait to the third moon of Omicron persei 8 ;D
lol

lol, it was very anonoying reading it like every paragraph
Wouldn't ripping your way out of some poor joes chest count as killing?
I'm sure someone asked this already, but you can't be an alien in this game? :-[
It's starting to sound like some sort of watered down Predator Concrete Jungle; which, quite honestly, wasn't all that hot of a game to start with.
But, its REBELLION developing the game. If you haven't played the first AvP for comp, you should play it now. I really can't see them making a game that is somehow worse than the original AvP, which was a classic.
In terms of atmosphere they nailed it completely I just don't see those guys dropping the ball. I'm a little miffed its on PSP, but maybe it'll work its way to PS2 ala Liberty City.
Graphically it looks similar too. Don't you think?

We didn't see
300 move to the PS2

Kinda. The graphics are clearly better than the original, but the style is the same. As for 300............the game sucked and I can't see them porting it just because its 300.
I got a copy of this PSP magazine today, can't wait to read it :D

It's that Pred. I'm getting flashbacks to AvP1.
No doubt. Even the rines look somewhat the same. I'm such an Alien nut I'll probably end up buying a psp just to get the game (if its rated high at all).

WHY IS THE GAME CALLED SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST?
Sorry for coming late (I can see you all going ::) on me ;D) but I think that the title 'Survival of the Fittest' was originally the AVP title, but then after they decided to go with the AVP comic and game title, they left it for the games... ;)
It almost tempts me to want a PSP but some of the details like the honor/dishonor for killing "innocent" aliens turns me off. The fact it's a PSP exclusive for now doesn't mean much either. Only a matter of time and it'll be ported to the PS2 ala Liberty City and Vice City I bet. The graphics look fine for a portable but they don't jump out at me either.
If it wasn't for Rebellion being behind it, I wouldn't even feel all that tempted. It looks unimpressive at this stage but then it's photos of a magazine article so I'm holding off on my final opinion of it.
