Quote from: RakaiThwei on Jan 28, 2013, 10:43:11 PMBSPs?! In my AvP?! Hell no!Gotta admit though, the game looks fun.Quote from: predxeno on Jan 28, 2013, 07:56:56 PMIt is nice to see the BSPs once more integrated into the actual plot of the AVP universe; I was half expecting to see them only in Predator 4 and any possible Predator sequels, this is a welcome surprise.I'd have to disagree with you there.As far as I am aware, Rodriguez didn't want PREDATORS to be part of the AvP universe. The BSPs really have no place there. This is probably something of stand alone game rather than something which could be considered a part of overall AvP continuity.-Rakai'Thwei

A:CM gets a bonus just for that. I hate combat droids. Especially in AVP 2010, they were annoying as Hell. "I'm here to fight aliens and predators, not robots."

Quote from: predxeno on Jan 29, 2013, 03:09:31 AMWell, I like the fact that the BSPs are here cause it reminds us that the BSPs are a canon part of the universe, not something that can simply be tucked away in 1 small category; but I guess that's why you might hate it.

QuoteWell, didn't AVP2010 state that combat androids were illegal?

Quote from: predxeno on Jan 29, 2013, 06:20:35 AMActually, I think those were regular androids; I think combat synths are specially designed somehow for warfare, that's probably why they can still walk with their heads shot off while normal androids can't.
Quote from: Xenomrph on Jan 29, 2013, 12:38:29 AMI wish I could talk about this game since I've been a part of the closed beta, but I can't...

The Audio Journals even mention that numerous staff members were missing and somehow more combat androids seemed to show up right when said staff members turned up missing. One staff member claimed that he saw one missing staff member being turned into a combat android.-Rakai'Thwei
Quote from: HybridNewborn on Jan 29, 2013, 03:08:47 PMThis game looks awesome! Sad I missed the sign up for the beta.Super glad the stuff from Predators is being incorporated into the larger AvP franchise, though a bit disappointed it looks that the Pred Hounds are going to be something associated with just the Super Preds instead of the the Preds in general.Quote from: Xenomrph on Jan 29, 2013, 12:38:29 AMI wish I could talk about this game since I've been a part of the closed beta, but I can't... Is there any indication when the game takes place, other than a general "around the time of the Alien films" sense of things?Quote from: RakaiThwei on Jan 29, 2013, 07:38:37 AMQuote from: predxeno on Jan 29, 2013, 06:20:35 AMActually, I think those were regular androids; I think combat synths are specially designed somehow for warfare, that's probably why they can still walk with their heads shot off while normal androids can't.There are two different kinds of combat synthetics.I know the ones in Aliens vs Predator 3 were hinted to be made from corpses from the human staff of BG-386.

Quote from: HybridNewborn on Jan 29, 2013, 04:49:17 PMGiven that they're using a bunch of stuff from Predators in the game, does anyone know if there's any Prometheus inspired elements incorporated as well?
Quote from: predxeno on Jan 29, 2013, 09:21:53 PMFinishing kills, being able to summon facehuggers as the Alien, awesome plot; this is what AVP2010 should have been.
QuoteActually, I think those were regular androids; I think combat synths are specially designed somehow for warfare, that's probably why they can still walk with their heads shot off while normal androids can't.
