It looks fantastic. That is an incredibly well put together trailer! So cool seeing footage from our community event in there too. I saw me take a tail to the face.  :laugh:

Hey everyone, today is the day we were shooting for to get everything we had out the door. While we have a lot that's in great shape, we're not totally ready to release everything that we've got. We want to make sure that what we put out there is the highest quality we can possibly make it. So what we've done is we've decided to stagger our update releases into installments. The first installment has been released today. They are the Universal Skins Pack v2 update and our promised three custom multiplayer maps: Block Fort (deathmatch and coop), Ice Station Zeto (deathmatch only), and Alien Trilogy's L111-Entrance (deathmatch and coop). When you see the amount of work that went into the skins pack update, you'll see how much time and energy we're putting in to making these the best that we can.

So what's the plan for the subsequent installment of the update? We're aiming for July 29th, 2024, so about one month away, for the release of our second installment. If we have everything ready, we can release the rest of it all at once, however keep in mind that this is referring to the Universal Map Pack 2.0 update, and then our bug fixes and optimizations to all of the default single-player, multiplayer, and Rebellion custom maps, as well as the editing tools update which will include more modding tool resources such as the Bible 2.0 and fixed/additional stock models. Plus we have other community members who are hard at work on maps that we are either currently helping out or ready to assist. If the rest of our work is not entirely ready by July 29, we will make sure at least one of these update packages is ready and release it then just as we are doing today.

Thanks for your patience and we hope you enjoy the new maps today!

So will this be an installable package for the Classic 2000 edition ?

Yes, the update is for Classic 2000. Hardly anyone can even get '99 or Gold to even run nowadays. Plus the update is going to include multiplayer maps too, which would be irrelevant for '99 or Gold.

One day maybe they will finally get around to remaster the sequel or at least a full on proper remake of the classic 200 one, and maybe for consoles too.

I hope so, I have many fond memories with this game. Setting up a LAN with my younger brothers and each of us playing as a different species. Really was special.

Nightdive are starting to run a little low on 90s shooters, surely it'll be avp classic's turn soon just by process of elimination?  :laugh:

Nightdive are a games studio that almost exclusively remaster old games, mainly shooters using their own proprietary engine called KEX.

Their work is amazing and I would love to see then tackle AvP but I would imagine Alien Trilogy would be more likely for many reasons.

I think an Alien remaster by them is very possible because they recently did Star Wars Dark Forces and that belongs to Disney so the relationship is there.

Some of their work is

Quake
Quake 2
DOOM 1, 2 and 64 (1 and 2 were released from them on day one of this years quakecon.

Turok
Shadow man
Many others.

They have the Thing coming up soon from PS2

Very cool. I'm curious how that video was made. Is there a camera tool?

There is no camera tool, no. Those shots were done by rendering the maps in 3D Studio Max with rebuilt lighting and using the camera and animation tools there. Some of the shots with more complicated animations (such as some alien shots in Statue) were done by combining shots from in-game with the views in 3D Studio Max.
