Thanks it gets tiresome of searching for AvP3 or AvP when all the results are about a third movie or about people who do not know about the game yet or even about A:CM.

Everyones favorite Corporal Hicks showed me this:

http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/pc/games/158877.Aliens-vs.-Predator/videos/133291.20090605.Aliens-vs.-Predator/ (http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/pc/games/158877.Aliens-vs.-Predator/videos/133291.20090605.Aliens-vs.-Predator/)

I'm fairly sure it's new. If not, feel free to burn me at the stake.

EDIT:

As the game progresses you collect more soundbytes to use as a Predator.
In the final product you can choose which trophy kill you want to use.
Health is on the RIGHT...Energy/Power on the LEFT of the hud.
AI definitely isn't done for Marines. If they hear you in the final game jumping around, they will hunt you down based on what they've heard.
Mines can be stuck to walls.
Predators have a COUNTERING system.
NEW KILL, where the Predator pins a delimbed Alien to the floor with his foot, and then stabs it through the head.
AI is very unscripted.
Predators can COUNTER the Aliens pounce, making it flip over onto the floor.
When you shank a Marine, his arm can come off, and when it does, it f**king pours blood all over the floor. This makes Aeus very happy.
GAME is currently PRE-ALPHA.
MARINES have a COUNTER to the Predator pounce.
ALIENS in the final game will be A LOT harder than they are at the moment. They will use more AI Pathing to approach the player.
ALIENS take shitloads of melee hits.

Woah. 18 minutes. I'm digging the loading screen.


Original post updated.

Well... another kill animation. Step on it and stab it in the head.

And you have counters. Kinda cool. Not a fan of how the alien just rolled when it missed... but... still... could make for very interesting multiplayer.


The wounded alien grabbed his leg... Hmmmm

I have a few problems. Aliens like to casually walk to their opponents, often times right off the surface of what they're crawling on, and they apparently don't walk anywhere. And the Predator decloaks whenever he drains a power source, hits an enemy, gets hit by an enemy, uses the mine, uses the plasma-caster, or pulls off a trophy kill.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: kvon17 on Jun 09, 2009, 12:15:51 AM
He mentioned the Aliens will be much harder. It's Pre-Alpha.

I DID have a problem with the "pick-up-the-marine-and-put-him-over-here" mechanic. It just looked... silly.

I will say, that last alien took like 10 melee hits.

Is the gameplanet video not loading very good for anyone else?
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Xhan on Jun 09, 2009, 02:21:30 AM
Probably because it was posted here. Bandwidth.

Looks like the counter is universal and has, at this point, priority over pouncing/leaping... which makes rather little sense. Something with a Predator's weight shouldn't be knocked back, a roll would work better in that regard. Looks like tail slap is also in. (maybe charge versus tap). The Alien may be limb per button rather select/deselect.

Well the first thing I noticed was that the Aliens were moving and attack more intelligently than before, and the Marines were actually paying attention to what they heard in their enviroment.

This game just entered a whole new era of awesome, xD.

according to the publisher of the newest vid that was posted here, expect better later on. marine and alien ai is not finished.

Really not crazy about decloacking just from using wristblades or being hit.  That could be VERY problematic in multiplayer.  If wristblades decloak you then surely everything else will, making survival basically impossible.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: kvon17 on Jun 09, 2009, 04:16:52 AM
No. It just means you can't go in Charging at 6 enemies. You actually have to hunt and take them down 1 at a time.

Metal Gear Solid -type marine patrolling. Sounds delightful. Always enjoyed the AI from MGS series. Also, all my previous worries have been put down. Only thing that still might bother me, is the HUD. It's a bit annoying, but can live with it.

The counters success for AI seems to be a little random. In some vids the pred always pounce the marines, and in the last vid a the last marine countered the pred's pounce 4 times in a row...

Anyway its a pre-alpha, so they can still working on the animation, but the counter "concept" its there, and its a good point.

No. It just means you can't go in Charging at 6 enemies. You actually have to hunt and take them down 1 at a time.
Even while cloaked, one could hardly charge in and take down six enemies.  If you're in multiplayer, and you decide to kill a marine with meele and you decloak, a marine across the map with a damn sniper rifle will take you out.  In my humble opinion, we at least need to remain cloaked while using meele weapons.  We could use the argument that it's not authentic to the movies (and it certainly isn't), but I'm mainly concerned with how multiplayer will balance out.  There are already plenty of ways to counter the cloak (alien see through it, motion tracker, smartguns, and lots of other massive firepower).  Even in AvP2 where the cloak made you basically invisible (while still), smart marine players could easily take down a predator, even if they were pistol spamming.

So are there 3 elite predators that come to take care of business because the "teenage" or "young" predators fail?

It would be interesting to see how that plays out. 

What does anyone else make of it?

It probably means there's going to at least one Elite Predator boss encounter for the Marine and the Alien. Or maybe two for one of them.

Probably both. From what Alex (.pl vid) was saying the Initiates got hosed hard (Alien 1st missions?) so apparently the Preds sent multiple Returners, since these are apparently "special" Aliens (according to Marine dialog).

Post by: Yutani on Jun 12, 2009, 09:16:13 PM
I like when the alien made the pounce against the marine inside the building, and the pred picked the thermal vision...you can see a marine being raped but you can see "the-killer", then the pred picked the alien vision...and there it was.

From tha interview we know with the sega guy, there is a really cool moment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGsT5WSh7Tw&feature=related

2:02 The pred is on the top of a tree, an alien try to attack (if you stop the vid, the alien looks realistic as hell, perhaps its coz the light or something, lokks pretty next gen)...well, the alien attck, but the pred hit first and the alien miss (if yuo stop the vid on 2:04 yuo can see the alien claw missin the hit), the pred hits super fast again and the alien falls to the floor...so the pred folow it to make the kill...but he! where is the alien? it was there a second ago!...the pred change the vision modes, look arround, and then the alien attacks again...nice.

Yep its new. Best one so far in my opinion since its barely off screen but I can not tell if its full in game.
Check 1:18 and you can see the Predator looking at the Xeno danger threat. Close Threat is only 2 what the f**k.... At about 1:27 you can see the Switch Weapon screen. Or I think thats what it is.

Yep its new. Best one so far in my opinion since its barely off screen but I can not tell if its full in game.
Check 1:18 and you can see the Predator looking at the Xeno danger threat. Close Threat is only 2 what the f**k.... At about 1:27 you can see the Switch Weapon screen. Or I think thats what it is.


The Xeno threat and switch weapon bit has been in all of them.

You never saw the Xeno threat pop up for that long though or the switch weapons. Both were up for about 3 seconds in these videos and barely a second in others.

:/ I've definitely noticed them all before. And noticed the close threat being tiny. I dunno. That stuff wasn't anything new and revealing.

It's not as drastic as it was in AvP2... but it's still there. It's probably a lot about whether or not the Alien decides to be smart and TRY to get out of the way.

A lot of hopes for it have got dashed, since most of the news basically confirmed its superficial nature, instead of building on and correcting what was originally there. Most of what's been seen, so far, puts it in the realm of 'generic shooter'. If and when we see something revolutionary, then you can expect more attention being paid to it.

Well, Halo isnt a revolutionary game, and people get mad about it.

In a AVP game you have 3 different fps experiences in one game, thats something different in the FPS world.

It has more of an overhyped and recent base of fans, as a game. With this, it's been a while since the last one. :)

I'm still waiting for something which shows that each species is a different experience. With the Predator being able to see in human vision, it doesn't differ much from the Colonial Marine's own perspective.

Well, you can use only the other vision modes, if you want. The "human" vision its for eye-candy. Force players to play the pred campaing in a continuos blue or grey blur vision will be....well, strange.

Dunno about you but I've never been able to jump around in trees in Halo or rip people's heads off.

So far all we've seen is the Predator.  Sure there'll be footage of the other species in the coming months.

ripping someone's head off is not a "unique gameplay mechanic." It's just an over glorified plasma sword lunge.

Easily countered by doing what I suggested, a while back: allowing access to it, if you choose to access a third-person perspective. Something which could be negated, at certain realism difficulty levels.

Besides, if they keep on installing all of these artificial 'balances', forcing the user to only see through the vision modes a Predator really has, would be both athentic and an obvious way of doing that. :)

QuoteSo far all we've seen is the Predator.  Sure there'll be footage of the other species in the coming months.

Yeah, but if the other games they've done in this series, is anything to go by, the only real differences will be couple of slightly different abilities and weapons. There are not yet any indications of properly immersing the character in what it's like to be a Predator, Alien or Colonial Marine. It really does look like the only differene is going to be different weapons and a slightly different HUD arrangement of information.

There are ways of doing this, of using psychology to help you take on aaa specific species' mindset, but it looks like they're relying on the story mode and the environmental circumstances to supply that.

While there's nothing wrong in doing so, it's nothing revolutionary, either and we should have moved beyond that, by now. It's very 'Doom'.

Quote from: kvon17 on Jun 25, 2009, 04:05:32 PM

Correct. :)

Different animations are not what should exclusively separate different ways of neutralising a character.

QuoteForcing you to play a certain way is bad? It's not forcing you to play a certain way, it's forcing you to BE the character.

And this is something which is actually more important than most people realise, when you have three different perspectives to sell! If they're all effectively the same as one another, then replaying the same events from different perspectives is going to encounter the danger of feeling repetitive.

Keep in mind that I'm reserving judgement until we get all the information. I can only go on what we know, so far. What we do know, however, is not giving me much hope that this shall change.

If force players to play in Pred's heat vision mode its now an awesome gameplay mechanic, BUT the ability of aliens to cocoon humans using them as check points, respawning as face huggers looking for a host in all the alien cycle fashion way ITS just nothing new...

We've been over this. The cocooning isn't "new." And I'm sorry, but "Create-your-own checkpoint" might be different than every other game with checkpoints... but... it's still not some massively cool and never been done before gameplay mechanic. Kinda like trophy kills being no different than Halo Plasma Sword lunges.

It just means instead of a little bit of text popping up on the HUD saying "Checkpoint Reached," you get to push a button to make your own checkpoint and you get a fancy animation.

Forcing pred players to use special vision modez at all times would be annoying...

Though it might be OK to force them to use their special modes while cloaked...

(The cloak is supposed to render preds invisible by bending the light around them,
which would also prevent it from getting into their eyes and so render them blind
if they are seeing in normal human like vision mode...)

But even then I think should be optional... Server option in MP and dependent
on difficulty or separate option in SP

The first avp (jaguar) use a powered verion of the doom1 engine, its hilarious to talk about a feature in that game.

You have to kill a marine , and then you respawn as an adult alien in that place. LOL. The marines totally ignore the other coconned marines they see, and there is NO alien cycle. You just respawn in a magic way in the place where you killed/cocooned the marine. There is no special move to cocoon, just hit the marine first with the clawn, then with the tail, and again with the clawn. So in the middle of a figth agains 3 marines, you can cocooned all of them in less than 7 seconds...LOL

Now you have to use a "special unkow action" (we dont know how it works yet) to cocoon the marine, then if you died, you respawn as a facehugger (Do you need to hide the cocooned marine? if the rest of marines found the coconeed marine will kill him for sure, or do something), so you have to look for a host, then you will be a chestbuster (we dont know if the host will move all arround, or if he/she will be unconscious)....and then you havew to grow up (unknow way) to became an adult alien.

So Alien cycle + cocoon means new gameplay mechanic. No matter what.

So in the middle of a figth agains 3 marines, you can cocooned all of them in less than 7 seconds...LOL

Now you have to use a "special unkow action" (we dont know how it works yet) to cocoon the marine, then if you died, you respawn as a facehugger (Do you need to hide the cocooned marine? if the rest of marines found the coconeed marine will kill him for sure, or do something), so you have to look for a host, then you will be a chestbuster (we dont know if the host will move all arround, or if he/she will be unconscious)....and then you havew to grow up (unknow way) to became an adult alien.

So Alien cycle + cocoon means new gameplay mechanic. No matter what.


From what we HAVE heard about it, it's just a fancy way for saying "you get to pick where your  checkpoint is and watch a cool animation"

Link of "cocoon its just a cool respawn animation as an adult alien" please...coz a magazine has said that you need to cocoone a marine, and then , when you died, you born as a facehugger form the egg...chestbuster---->alien.

Anyway, if you have heard thats is just an animation, without the alien cycle, just "in the same way" of the jaguar avp, just tell us your source. Im curious.

Now, what sense would it make for you to be born as a facehugger out of a human cocoon? My guess is when you respawn, you tear out of his chest as a chestburster.

And at the rate of growth for Aliens, you aren't staying a chestburster long enough to consider yourself "playing as a chestburster."

Like I've said before, rebellion has done it before. It's just a fancy looking checkpoint.

That's why I don't understand why it's getting heralded as something revolutionary. It was on their first ever game. They just took it out for the others. All they're doing is putting back an old idea.

I like it, I just don't think it's something to hype up as being somehow new and terribly innovative.

The first avp (jaguar) use a powered verion of the doom1 engine, its hilarious to talk about a feature in that game.

It makes sense but it doesnt cuz where are the eggs coming from? and do u kill a marine as alien and cocoon or cocoon alive then hug him? and fact is the marines will kill any body cocooned regardless or flame it or gaurd it, I hope they dont make this extremely difficult to do in the thicket of battle. It would be cool if u just got hugged and passed out for a while and out of no-where u get bursted so team mates wont surround ur body and worm kill, it will be unexpected.

If it is in, they (Rebellion) haven't talked about it yet.. at all. The onyl hint we have is the Alien campaign will be "really different" (Alex)

Ok, wait. A cocooned human morphs into an egg...so the facehugger "respawn" when you died from that egg. So your new host cant be the "cocooned-human". You should find a new one. Its egg-morphing, like in the first AVP (jaguar).

And for that russian magazine "Gamemania", Dogmeat has it ( i think he tryed to put some images but he cant), perhaps he can tell us what the article saids about it.

Mmm i think that the rebellion cocooned stuff its about the egg-morphing, like the first avp (jaguar)...and the face hugger respawn from the marine/morph/egg...looking for a host.

Your way its interesting too, and sounds cool, but there is a problem with the "eggs" and the "facehugger". We have to assume that there will be a lot of lonely "mini-hives" in every level, or a lot of lonely eggs in hiden places in every level (in order to make the checkpoints possible)...not make much sense. And the facehugger "pops" magicaly arround there to atack the cocooned marine. Whit the egg-morph you dont need eggs, coz you create one, and the facehugger respawn from the egg...so you only need to find a host.

Anyway, i hope that rebellion will show us how it really works.

thats what I said each level will have a section of hive, and would it be possible to kill the cocooned marine as alien marine or predator? are u still alive while u are cocooned there? cuz if so other marines should be able to cut u out with the welding torch.

On the contrary, it's useful to refer back to games from the late eighties and early nineties, when in discussions about features which are supposedly radical or have never been thought of. :) Just look at all the stuff on 'Chuck Yeager's Air Combat'. It was packed full of all kinds of stuff in one package, which should have immediately become standard for combat flight simulators, yet only ever became so in a piecemeal fashion. Same goes for talking about stuff like 'TIE Fighter', when a new space combat simulator shows up.

These titles were considered classics for very good reasons. :)

And, since the Jaguar game is made by the same developers and revolves around the same subject, as the game we're now discussing, it's even more relevant.

QuoteSo Alien cycle + cocoon means new gameplay mechanic. No matter what.

Going by previous games, the human faction won't really be going into territory the Aliens have retaken earlier in the story. You'll find humans, have the option of immobilising them, then do the 'cocoon' option. This will either allow you to do that where you want or simply trigger a cut scene, where they're at the closest potential designated nesting point on the map. Gestation periods won't be taken into account: Whenever you die, you simply emerge as the new chestburster (either at the infant or matured stage).

Which makes it pretty much the same as the Jaguar version, not a "new gameplay mechanic". :)

It's creative, because it basically lets you choose how many extra 'lives' you get, but it's not new.

As I understand it, if this is going to remain a feature, that's how it'll be implemented. A supply of eggs won't be the problem. By the time the other factions get there, the colony's already been invaded and taken over (confirmed in the videos and so on). A full-blown nest situation shall already be in operation.

All an Alien will have to do is take its new immobilised prey over to the cocoon point and let a facehugger do what it's best at, like with Newt. Then you just go about the rest of your assigned task.

That russian magazine said that you will respawn as a facehugger, from the egg. Coz the marine you have cocooned it was egg/morphed.

The "cocoon" thing its in the Alin directors cut. I mean "eggmorphing"...but some people still thinks that they are talking about to kiddnap a marine and trasport him to a hive or something ,which have less sense coz you have to explaine the eggs, the hive in every level etc...

It will be hilarious if there is no sniper,there goes half of the people that ever played AvP2.

Two 'olds' don't make a 'new', just as much as two 'wrongs' don't make a 'right.'

Example: Game "X"
Fisrt game (X)---> you can drive, and you can use guns
Second game (X2 the revenge)----> You can use guns while driving

X2 has a new gameplay mechanic.

That is completely different.

This is more:

In game X, you can drive tanks. You blow up bike shops. Blown up bike shops turn into military bases and are checkpoints. You respawn as a tank.
In game X2 you can ride bikes, but only on a specific path. But you drive tanks the rest of the time, and blow up bike shops.
In game X3, you start off on a bike, but soon you get a tank. As a tank, you blow up bike shops and they become military bases and serve as checkpoints. When your tank blows up, you respawn with a bike, then ride into the military base and get a tank.

You're not doing anything new in X3.

You are worng in both cases. First, the way you "blow up bike shops" are totally different between X and X3, and second, the "ride into the military base" its something you have never done before.

The alien cycle without scripts, its a brand new thing.

Everyones favorite Corporal Hicks showed me this:

http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/pc/games/158877.Aliens-vs.-Predator/videos/133291.20090605.Aliens-vs.-Predator/ (http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/pc/games/158877.Aliens-vs.-Predator/videos/133291.20090605.Aliens-vs.-Predator/)

I'm fairly sure it's new. If not, feel free to burn me at the stake.

EDIT:

As the game progresses you collect more soundbytes to use as a Predator.
In the final product you can choose which trophy kill you want to use.
Health is on the RIGHT...Energy/Power on the LEFT of the hud.
AI definitely isn't done for Marines. If they hear you in the final game jumping around, they will hunt you down based on what they've heard.
Mines can be stuck to walls.
Predators have a COUNTERING system.
NEW KILL, where the Predator pins a delimbed Alien to the floor with his foot, and then stabs it through the head.
AI is very unscripted.
Predators can COUNTER the Aliens pounce, making it flip over onto the floor.
When you shank a Marine, his arm can come off, and when it does, it f**king pours blood all over the floor. This makes Aeus very happy.
GAME is currently PRE-ALPHA.
MARINES have a COUNTER to the Predator pounce.
ALIENS in the final game will be A LOT harder than they are at the moment. They will use more AI Pathing to approach the player.
ALIENS take shitloads of melee hits.



This is awesome. Im happy that they're going to make the aliens more of a challenge. They were way to easy when watching the gameplay.

The issue is intent, not the mechanic, I'm sure that Marines will be able to kick a Pred in the nuts or or rifle butt  em in the eye or whatever....but we still get Pred ownage as a deliberate preview choice... where's the sequence in the video where a Pred eats explosive rounds? Gets plowed by a Smartgun while invisible? Gets led into a corridor with a Sentry by a wounded Marine?

What I'm also noticing about everything we've seen so far is that there is little to no Alien spotlight. It's really bad because the Predators are killing everything and the Aliens seem to just be random fodder. Even the Alien campaign mechanic. They've stated that you don't even get a character. You are just fodder. If you die, you come back as another Alien altogether. I can only assume how durable the Alien is and what kind of game play it has. Even though it is a presentation choice to show the 'ZOMGWTFBBQUBERAWESOMEPREDATORZLOL!!!!!111!2", I wouldn't be so naive as to think that it would not be reflected in some way in the game itself.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: newbeing on Jul 30, 2009, 01:35:02 PM
Yeah the pred it sort of coming off as the favorite of the group. Sadly when you ask most gamers which they'd rather play Alien is usually the last choice  :-\. So Rebellion might be banking on that.

Would be nice to see the Alien finish of a pred as a finisher for the Alien trailer. Really make the alien out as a force to be reckoned with.

That kind of has the same effect as cutting to black just before the Alien kills a Marine.

The new trailer is supposed to be a promotion for the Marine. What good would it do having it display Marines dying all the time? I think it was set up really good, especially the little act at the end there with the Predator, very clever. It is apparent that the "reveal" trailers are set up (scripted etc.) to provide the best possible promotion for the species it is supposed to show. In the Alien Reveal, we'll probably see Marines and Predators getting butt-kicked by Aliens, making all of the non-alien players out there bitch about how overpowered the Aliens are (when in fact no one knows how powerful any of the species is since no one outside Rebellion/Sega/Fox has played the game :P)

How is the thing with the Predator clever? All it did was degrade the Marine and promote the Predator, even though, as you said, it's supposed to promote the Marine. If that can happen, why can't they treat the Aliens with respect too?

18 player ? dang i hope that is the console number.

would be awesome to have maps that can hold 64 players for pc.

^ Can't you mod a game to allow more? Or is that specifically up to the servers? I msorry im not the most technical guy..but I manage. I think 18 6vs6vs6 is a good number. This isn't COD or Battlefield.

You can kinda work out the aliens excution kills now if you look at the marines getting raped by aliens videos it's got a pounce attack you know the rest and a grabbing move on the marine trailer thats two i'm also guessing from one of the screenshots theres a tail going in a marine so thats three :P bit obvious but i thought i would point that out.

With no new footage or pictures this game is starting to turn into ACM no offence i mean cause ACM released a few images a 10 sec gameplay it's looks like this is going down the same road and i really am looking foward to this AVP3 the most honestly i am, just getting annoying waiting for info and footage taking so long :(

Anyone wondering how the excution kills will be in MP i mean if a alien pounces on a marine and theres another marine watching him getting pounced do you think you will be able to shoot them off while the animation is in play? :P gonna be weird if you can't sorta like gears of war 2 you gotta wait for the chainsaw kill to finish before you can kill them on gears
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Xhan on Sep 03, 2009, 05:59:04 AM
It'll probably be like Dow2 where you take damage during the kill, which is probably why you get to select them from a group, and also ignore them and simply melee your opponent.

Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Xhan on Sep 03, 2009, 06:04:10 AM
Given the counter push shoved a 400 pound pred back several feet in mid air, a much lighter alien will probably go flying. Realistic physics need not apply.

Not really. If I had to chose between be grabbed by a Predator and a Xeno up close I would go with Predator because I could blow their brains out without any damage to me. :) Plus I do not want a Xeno to blast my head through with a body part.

Huh, making the Alien more accessible to casual gamers.

I'm okay with that as long as that accessibility doesn't prevent veterans of the Alien and players with higher levels of skill for being rewarded for their efforts.

When they said that maybe they meant just a super version of the In-Game helper. You know in the Predator DEMO how there were things helping you through out the videos maybe that will take form in the Xeno part of the game only on a larger scale so thats not too good because that will just make the game seem kiddish.

We've already seen auto jumping used. It isn't a "helper", it's the way the game is going to be played, with training wheels. Depth and tactical application will possibly come from implementation, but it sure as hell won't be coming from execution.

I'm happy with that.

Making the motion tracker are separate piece of gear would punish the Marines for no reason, especially since they need all the firepower they can get at any given moment.

EDIT:

Woah, Aliens take a fair amount of punishment.

I noticed it in that thread before this one, to be honest.

It makes sense to have the motion tracker on the HUD, which is most likely an IR lense suspended from the helmet. Thats how I always looked at it as a marine player.

It might be health. Maybe Rookie is the name of the mission you are on or something... After the Xeno gets close to you a bit chunk of the bar disappears and it starts to blink. If it was your rank would it start to blink?

God I hope the Rookie In Avp is nothing like the Rookie in ODST, Some twat who never said a word the whole game. I hated that. Even if the marine just gives back a simple reply like yes or no Would be Better.

I liked how in Resistance the main character never talked.  But in Resistance 2 they tried to give him a personality and FAILED!  I think if they release the players name then he would most likely gain a personality.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Corporal Lewis Hicks on Oct 21, 2009, 12:06:41 AM
Avp could pull it off. But only because Your alone pretty much all of the time so your character will not be doing a lot of talking. But in a game like Odst where you need to talk, well your character just looks like a twat.

In my opinion the only way for a Rookie character to survive realistically is because they were just recently sent to an area, by their superior, that just happens to be safe when all the shit hits the fan.

The Rookie couldn't be the dude in the trailer because he gets finshed by the predator. So maybe that's your (the rookies) team getting killed, also you must play the Sargent in that part when everyone dies. Then take over as the rookie.

Not really that big of a deal, but the latest episode of the bi weekly gaming news show Inside Gaming features AVP for a few seconds. Not much other then a few sweet looking game play shoots. Also the host seems to sum up all of the general AVP community's feelings about the game. Check it out.

Is there some other kind ?? Port is a port...

When a game is made for many platforms the PC version is obviously not going
to be all it could be... They make the game with the limitations of the weakest
platfrom (console) in mind and beef up some models and textures and special
effects and such for the better platforms... But at its core the game is only
what the weakest platform can handle...

They are not going to make the same game from bottom up twise...

We probably won't see anything of that since there is a demo planned for release. Then again if the demo is release in January then we might see some real gameplay later this month or even in December. If the demo is released this month or next, don't expect any real gameplay.

 Found it.. The hud, wristblades, and hands all look so much better.

"Edit" Holy crap... well... that looked instense.. poor guy had to sit there and endure it too.. well I still think it's cannon with the films, it looks like he grabs the spine at the base of the stomach and pulls it up untill it removes the head, not pulling the head down through the stomach.

As like the predator did to Billy.

""Edit"' well dang.... maybe he does rip his head off through his stomach, looks like the armor got in the way..  :-X

Or there are 6 maps/missions in that demo.

"Stealth is your most powerful weapon"
"Activate your cloaking device and move closer to the humans..." ::)

What I do like is the animations when the aliens use claws on the pred, it doesn't look like that from the alien's POV.

Lol @ the spine-on-knee kill. WWE?

*hodl* and *grab* appears every time your cross hair is pointed at a target, is annoying. Trophy kills all the time.

I also like the AI aliens, when he was attacked by more than 1 alien it can get messy.
Human AI is just stupid.

One thing is for sure - playing pred against aliens is going to be more fun than against marines.

That video looks nice. I'm still bothered by the little information box that pops up whenever you're attacked by an alien.

Looks like the levels are:
-Tutorial
-Jungle
-Refinery
-Ruins
-Research Lab
-Pyramid

Also in the shot of the Alien POV it looks like the spikes on the the end of the tail have been removed. Could just be the perspective.

I was mad to not see the Electro Vision, a.k.a. Alien Vision in the Russian vid.  What the hell is the Distractatron? Sound like they got that from Ratchet and Clank? Couldn't you have given it a better name like Vocal Mimcry (hence Predator C:C)?  I don't like all the yellows in the loading screen, sure it is my fav color, but I liked the old blackish WY sign and the Alien pop up and then the florecent lights when the loading screen came on.  But those are just the flaws... everything looks 69,000 times better.  Scripted POV moments? AWSOME!  New finishers? Awsome, other than the one against canon.  New hud, wrist blades, Pred hands? Awsome. Finally they put in the silver-teeth Aliens too! Now let's see the predalien!

Anyone notice the Predator has compitition?

I actually prefer the WY Logo to be yellow as it was in ALIENS. I don't like seeing the Xeno lifted up by the Predator, getting its arm ripped off and then snapped in half with the Predator's leg. That almost blasts a hole in the President's face and say, "Xenomorphs are canon fodder FOR TOO LONGZ."

I hope you won't let little things like a loading screen upset you. Who cares what color the WY is its bugs and the hunter we care about bro. And weather its vocal mimic or distraction we as predator fans know the function of its purpose.

As far as aliens being weaker, they were never much of a challenge against the Predator in ANY of the previous titles. The only challenge I remember was being stuck in a corner waiting for my energy to recharge while hoping a bug wouldnt find me.

As a 17 year fan of both franchises I must say this game is looking better then a wet dream...

Actually the devs at Gamescom said that the whole game would last about 12 hours (probably on normal difficulty). So that's 4 hours per campaign. 4 hours split across 5 or 6 levels amounts to each level lasting a little under 45 minutes if they're timed evenly. I'm sure some levels last longer than others.

Back to the vid. I'm kinda sad to see that the downed pred doesn't blow up when self destruct is activated, but rather fizzles like a sparkler. Would be great if you set it to blow and then were attacked by Aliens. Race against time and against a horde of oncoming aliens.

We have to wait a bit, it's still work in progress. Just look at how the hud changed, as well as the hands and wristblades. I thought that energy emitting from the gauntlet was similar to Predator 1, when suddenly energy was building up, you saw everything get brighter, electricity in the background and then it blew up. It'll probably be the same in the finished game. At least I hope. The Mission could end with a giant explosion behind the Predator as he races to leave the area.

If that Marine Outpost, the starting Jungle and then the piece of jungle with the PredXeno were ALL part of the JUNGLE level I am fine even though it took them like 15 minutes max to get to the PredXeno. Like I said I hope I am wrong.

The story will pretty much be the two AVP movies put together only with one thing WAY better, its in the future.

I just came here from youtube, seen this movie (dx11), and last predator gameplay uploaded by other guy, tho its the same.

I mena dx11 videos has all old footage khm... tho its ok.


Anyway I am not sure if this it will look with dx11, its look close to movie, textures at least, models can also, but they arent that HP...

Anyway, In resident Evil 5 I dint notice difference in dx9 and 10.1 .

But games works faster with dx10 card and Win7, than on win xp and dx9 .

3 parts of each level x 15 minutes
6 levels = around 4 hours
It comes close to what devs have said. It's all theory and math right now.

Thats seems about right though some levels may be longer than others it will probably be something like you said.

I'm shut it'll take longer if you try to play for "real"..meaning that you play as the characters, alien and predators should take longer to complete if you want to play good cause of all the sneaking and acting movie-ish. ;D
Good luck trying to be "movie-ish" as the Predator in this game.

While I certainly understand where you're coming from Dusk, I think you're just as much of a jerk or perhaps even more so if you de-cloak right behind the guy, wait for him to notice you, and then claw his face off.

They will probably give the marines more powerful weapons, probably a 1-shot-kill, since they don't have the abilities that other species have.

Apparently these who already own DirectX 11 hardware (like the ATI Radeon HD 5000 series) aren't required to wait for Windows 7 to utilize DirectX 11. It is also possible to install and utilize DirectX 11 on Windows Vista as well. All you have to do is to download and install Update for Windows Vista (KB971512). Service Pack 2 and the latest version of DirectX Redistributable are required.

Well, the flamethrower(?) looked pretty badass from the latest Aliens trailer. At first I mistook it for a giant laser rifle (and was pretty disappointed when I discovered I was wrong, to be honest).

We aren't sure what kind of weapons the Marines will have yet, but consider that the setting is in the future so things could definitely be upgraded a little bit. And let's face it, a shotgun to the face will stop just about anything.

e: Oh shoot, I forgot to mention this. Has anybody noticed in the Imrogir 2009 updated Predator gameplay video that, when the Predator gets hit, his health bar gets segmented, but if he doesn't continue taking damage, it goes right back. It's as if he can take a bit of damage without actually getting hurt. It first happens when he fights the two Marines around the tree near the beginning, and once during his melee fight with the Aliens. Anybody noticed this, and if so, any thoughts?

Like the intense and scary marine gameplay, the facehugger moment was priceless.

Preds got new toys. If that was the disc it had a lame design.

The alien sounds like a t-rex during the head bite. Instead of making the whole silly animation they could just use the actual head bite part and make it shorter.

This game looks really cool, reservations about Alien sounds and animations aside.

I'm liking the disc and the spear. It looks like the spear is either a very powerful jab or is thrown, which makes it an interesting addition rather than a melee replacement. I wonder if there's just one, or if we'll see lots of them scattered around the Predator temple sections like Under A Hunter's Moon?

The survival horror aspect of the Marine gameplay looks pretty well-done. Looks like, for the most part, the Marine only really deals with a couple of Aliens at a time at most. My one reservation might be that sometimes the Aliens still present themselves as too obvious, like that one crawling along the ground at slow speed. It only sped up and escaped when the Marine fired at it. But we'll see about that when the game comes out.

As for Aliens as enemies, one thing I'm hoping we'll see if them using the wall-crawl ability better than in AvP2. In that game, Aliens appeared to sort of just choose on surface and attack from that. In AvP1, the Aliens went from surface to surface as they saw fit. I'm hoping we see the same here, but with the added tension of an AI that has a grasp on ambush tactics.

Alien gameplay looks good on the whole. One thing I'd do with it is to make the levels more free-roam. I don't mean that in a sandbox game kind of way, but I disliked in the previous AvP games how the access tunnels and vents you could use were so limited. It would be nice if there was a whole system of access tunnels above and below hallways that you could use, because a lot of the gameplay (although mostly in AvP2) was just you, as an Alien, walking through hallways.
I mean, come on.

Looks like they really nailed the Marine single-player based on what little we've seen so far.

For the Predator, it'll be interesting to see how they balance the spear weapon. It would be kinda silly to have like 10 spears scattered throughout the level, but only being able to use a spear 2 or 3 times would be pretty disappointing. Perhaps they'll allow you to pick it up after you've thrown it? Would be nice if they added a melee component to it, too. I'm also kinda disappointed with the disc. I mean, I know you want to put your own personal touch on things like this and for the most part they did a good job but I really liked the original concept.

The Alien looks bloody amazing. A light sensor, a pheromone silhouette, what appears to be an auditory sensor in the top left/right... and they implemented the orientation indicator in a simple, but very effective way. I like it.

Still want a demo, though.

Not sure how I feel about the alien getting knocked down and writhing on the floor like it's saying, "i've fallen and I can't get up!"

Sega really needs to start marketing this game more. Dante's inferno comes out the same month and EA has been pimping that game like nobody's business.

These trailers are good, but could be a bit more refined (probably why they weren't suppose to be submitted to the public just yet) because the Alien trailer really seems like a rough cut.

Still nice to see some new gameplay.

I agree with you Xhan that the marines' actions seem a bit static. I think they should look more like they're frightened for their lives, rather than just patrolling.

I loved it in AVP when marines would fire a few shots at you then run for their lives. Certainly want to experience that again.

Also did anyone else notice the little skull counter at the bottom right of the screen around 0:47.

AVP:R :  Fast head bites in the middle of a figth


The first one seems to be the best choice, its not like a "claw" attack...spawing the button, its more a iconic moment. And IMO, thats look more like a trophy-kill, than the normal head-bite we saw in the alien gameplay, whit this guy playing like a noob.

The aliens in the movies didn't have marines and preds on their asses when  they were head biting people. Your "iconic" moment will be your death, over and over. And for the 13 564th time - games can't follow movies all the way.

Exactly. Headbites are no longer standard melee attacks, they are now trophy kills. Personally I can live with that, although I also understand why some people may feel upset about it. Can't please everyone.

Brother, I think it's a little early to say whether or not trophy kills will be suicidal or not. The majority of kills in the multiplayer footage were trophy kills. If you don't like it, that's fine, but don't go nay-saying it without anything to back it up.

Yeah, thats the reason you have to "know" where and when make a "head-bite" (Its a health recharge move)...not a rocket launcher to launch in the middle of a figth against 3 or 4 foes...Offcourse we didt see the aliens making head-bites to marines...coz its not the rigth moment to performe a head-bite, with some people arround  firing pulse rifle burst at you.

Sucks that we're getting the AVP/R spear instead of that phat P2 spear. And less said about the disc design, the better.

Animations rox my sox though.

Trophy/Stealth kills definitely seem suicidal in MP. I've seen someone do a stealth kill, then a stealth kill got performed on him and I'm not sure, but there might have been a 3rd stealth kill performed on the 2nd guy.

*Iconic moment - the head bite*

*Your death, over and over - you will die a lot when head biting because it slows you down and blocks your view*

The head bite process was slow in he movies, but the actual head bite (where little mouth does his thing) is very fast. The new head bite hurts the gameplay.

As long as you can sink a headbite through the bio mask and see Preddie eye balls dangling around I'm good.

If you want to performe trophy-kills over and over in the middle of a figth you will die, yeah. But trophy-kills are an option, you have to choose when its the best moment to make one.

Funny thing though, the exact same thing I've seen in the AvP videos, happened to me in Uncharted 2. I snapped someone's neck from behind, a second later someone snapped my neck and another second later my teammate snapped the other guy's neck. It was hilarious.

Not sure how I feel about the alien getting knocked down and writhing on the floor like it's saying, "i've fallen and I can't get up!"

Sega really needs to start marketing this game more. Dante's inferno comes out the same month and EA has been pimping that game like nobody's business.

These trailers are good, but could be a bit more refined (probably why they weren't suppose to be submitted to the public just yet) because the Alien trailer really seems like a rough cut.

Still nice to see some new gameplay.

I agree with you Xhan that the marines' actions seem a bit static. I think they should look more like they're frightened for their lives, rather than just patrolling.

I loved it in AVP when marines would fire a few shots at you then run for their lives. Certainly want to experience that again.

Also did anyone else notice the little skull counter at the bottom right of the screen around 0:47.

The Alien was actualy just about to get up if you look close, then Predator Spears it.

I'd rather have the alien rip off the pred's mask somehow during the trophy animation and then headbite. We don't know if the headbite can pierce through the pred mask and don't quote avp1-movie.

If the alien rips off the pred's mask in trophy kill animation, and then headbites, no one will have complaints.

That question asked, I would rather the Alien did take off the Pred's mask - it just seems more climactic that way. Practically speaking, though, it would be an extra few seconds tacked onto an already long animations sequence.

Shorten some other aspects. instead of the dramatic look down the mouth scenario. hurry up and take the bite. U need to be quick with it anyway, your dealing with a pred, give him some time and he might be able to throw you off.

and i said don't quote it because there were lots of loop holes in that movie and it is not to be taken canon. everyone knows that....

There were relatively few holes in that one, especially compared it its sequel. I can only find the Alien's life-cycle as a true hole, otherwise it simply canonised a few elements that the games and comics suggested, like the heavy-duty plasma caster.

Don't want to turn this topic into a debate about the movies so i will leave it with this.

Avp2 - Requiem's, portrayal of the alien life cycle shouldn't be seen as a hole. The predalien was never seen before in the movies and the predator's lifecycle was never revealed.

How are the moviemakers supposed to put drones in the movie when there is only a limited number of drones in the movie due to the facehuggers?

They needed to add a life cycle. The drones somehow spawning the ability to produce babies was too farfetched. The predalien was the only uncharted territory.

If it spawned facehuggers it would be a queen. It needed something different. So...puke eggs in people's mouths, Stick your tail in their mouths and it comes out of there. stick ur tail up their ass. Sit on their face and give them a boston steamer. The only two ways that made sense was puke eggs or tail in mouth. This way it is basically the same pathway as the facehuggers (since they tranfer eggs through the oral cavity of it's victims). They went with puking the eggs, bc that is also, arguably, closer to a face hugger insemination. (I guess we could say the hugger's mouth is what the eggs come from, even though its most likely the "vagina-penis" that it looks like).

Therefore, I think what they did was fine.

Ship full of facehuggers. Wow. I had to think about that for half a second. What a stretch.


If regeneration is actually in, then the retarded headbite simply leads to overcharge or full health, if not it's f**king stupid.

Aliens had quick in motion headbites as well: Burke, Ferro.

Taking off the mask is stupid. Bite face move on.

I like the headbite. as the cannon if would be GREAT that there are more cannons as in AJL. In AJL you have all cannons from movies. This one is from AvP movie. It blasts. In Predator 2 movie laser cuts trough enemy = penetration. In Predator 1 it was some kind of explosive. Cuts inside and does some kind of small explosive.

Anyway, shame if there will be only one cannon :( .

As an Alien, you regenerate in this game.

For me, that's enough to offset the fact that the headbite isn't a viable combat tool this time around.

Not that it needs to be - in AvP2, your claw and tail attacks were so weak that headbiting was an excellent way to get lots of quick kills. In AvP1, your attacks were murderous hurricanes of wrath and killed anything that wasn't a Predator in one hit. Unless you used the tail attack, which downed Predators instantly.

We have been over this. Fast paced game, not much time between fights in MP etc. If you need to head bite to get health you are effed big time. Preds collecting sculls has nothing to do with gameplay as far as we know, because his health doesn't depend on it and he doesn't have to do it AT ALL if he doesn't want to, in the game.

Well, in the MP vids you can spot an alien killing a pred in 2 seconds, with 2 claw hits. We have to wait until the alien official gameplay, to check this out. But this game has more to do with the first AvP PC than AVP2.

why is everyone making such a big deal about it being cannon or not? Not all aliens are the same..

Whats your favorite thing of everything. Wait... Never mind it doesn't matter as that thing is now shit.

Thats why not going with canon upsets people.

Funny interview.

He says marines have chance only in packs, but yeah, your mates will die fast in SP and you can hope for the best in MP...

"The predator is not overpowered if hes facing 5 marines with pulse rifles an smartguns..."

"We are staying true to the movies, tho we now have a sniper rifle that can detect preds..."

Story sounds AvP1, greedy corporation opens pre temple.

Sega don't know what the f**k they are talking about.
Did they go to the studios and ask as many things they could about the movies, no. Did they go beyond the movie's scenes, no. Thats what needs to be done when making Movie games.

Classic staff guy (Sega) who doesnt know a word about the game. A marine with a pulse rifle can take down a pred with some brust as we have seen in MP videos.

Ship full of facehuggers. Wow. I had to think about that for half a second. What a stretch.


If regeneration is actually in, then the retarded headbite simply leads to overcharge or full health, if not it's f**king stupid.

Aliens had quick in motion headbites as well: Burke, Ferro.

Taking off the mask is stupid. Bite face move on.



I could care less of your opinion. only thing that sprouts from you is negativity.

Anyway on the interview, nice work. The game tester died a couple of times, thank goodness he had god mode on, lol. He never did any melee.

I have no complaints of the marine gameplay.

I love how he stated that games based on movie are crap xD.

I'm thinking maybe the scope is infrared
but the predator's cloak seems to obscure its heat in the clips
anyway I hope the sniper rifle is effective against aliens too...the humans need something to even it up

Not completely... it did get the job done, very efficently.  The Marine player was reloading and wasn't much of a threat for a split second.  In that second the Xeno goes and kills the AI teammate who was still capable of firing. Then sneaks up on the player and starts slashing away. Had it been a higher difficulty(or maybe he was in god mode?)... the player would have died.

....Yeah I'm just trying to justify it... XD

^ I agree. Whether it was just buy chance or actually coded that way it looked good to me. Not to mention the alien fled to the darkness after it successfully picked off one of the marines and started to receive fire.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Brother on Nov 17, 2009, 02:11:14 PM
He is also an easier kill when he is reloading, and I seriously doubt the AI alien would care if you are reloading or not. Probably scripted, the AI humanz gotta go first. But at least they could haveve placed the AI human closer to the alien, this way is just weird. "Wait in line, you will be attacked next, please."

It looked good to me when the pred was attacked by more aliens, 1 alien acted differently than the others which made me think that the AI was improved.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: PLEXI on Nov 17, 2009, 02:29:07 PM
As I said, just trying to justify it lol.

The Player character is always stronger than any AI team mates in a game like this. The Alien went for the easier kill... whether it was just bad coding, or a scripted event is all up to debate and either point can be argued into infinity based on what little information we have :P

The AI is not perfect, nor ever will be. It definitely needs improving, but it does get the job done, and seems to be some what unpredictable.....which I'm liking a lot.

Yeah, the route that Alien took looked perfectly good to me. Going around the boxes allowed the Alien to get a jump on the AI guy while simultaneously putting cover between it and the Player. After that it was able to disappear into the shadows and launch an ambush attack. If it had been me as an Alien, I would have done the exact same thing.

Now, whether or not this occurred because of chance or AI, I don't know. It just doesn't seem to warrant a negative opinion on the AI.

The guy is shooting at the alien. Still the alien passes him by, walking right next to him to attacks the other guy, who might also be armed. Disappearing in the shadows is ok and everything, but this is just shitty AI. The alien as we know it will never walk pass an armed enemy.

It should be also noted that he doesn't ignore the player at all, he ... SNEAKS ... into the shadows afterwards and then stages an ambush.

No man. The finisher is when you stun someone from the front. I promise. Watch the vids and you'll see the "Press X to Finish" thing appear. That's where the headbite and tail stab to the eye come in. For the Predator, that would be the trophy kill.

I'm thinking Predaliens* are going to be the only real "boss" fight. A human equivalent would be situational, like having to run a stealth gauntlet of Marines and sentry guns.

I must have missed the *finishing* part.

About the trophy kills. Predator actually takes the spine/scull when he makes the trophy kill and the alien doesn't. May be the same with aliens - press X to make a trophy kill - but aliens don't make trophy kills and they don't take trophies. There is a difference.

Like the pred ripping out  little mouth as a trophy as a trophy kill, shouldn't be the same with the WWE kill (spine on knee).

We will have to wait and see a masked predator finish then.
I'd presume the headbite would go through the mask. AvP1 style. (if the mask doesn't fall off automatically  :P)

That REALLY bothers me.... it looks so unnatural when it just launches from their head like a missile. They seriously need to fix it...or just keep it attached until the body slumps to the ground.

Yea I agree. AvP should nto be run and gun gameplay. It could be more interesting playing tactically; planning each attack with alien and predator, and with marine playing carefully scanning each corner :) .
That would be scary and intense.

In the interview, I was surprised they said you can have a team of A,M,P vs. a pure team of aliens vs.
a pure team of predators.  

That is whack .

Yeah well deathmatch was only added because every FPS wants to reel in the masses of
idiots who only crave chaos before self destruction over and over.   I mean it can be fun in a few rare instances, but overall, I'd take a pure 3-way species test of team survival.

Also the presumption that not blasting a lone guy in the back with a plasmacaster meaning that the Predator has honor is an unfounded assumption. Desiring a challenge (which goes hand-in-hand with hunting down Green Berets and Special Ops forces) does not mean you are honorable.

This, oh god, this. Always my point. He wasn't being honorable, he just wanted a good challenge. He was here to hunt after all, get's down to the last guy, why not make it a good fight. Nothing about the Predator is honorable. He uses a cloak and a laser gun. How is that honorable?

Totally agree... it's like Dutch said: "it didn't kill you because you weren't armed - no sport". Not because it's against some moral code, the predator's a sadistic monster.
That said, Predator 2 did throw a spanner in the works when the titular creature decided against killing a pregnant woman, despite her otherwise being a highly viable target. To me, that's the closest thing we've had to a reveal that the whole hunting thing is a major institution of Predator society - it's like there's a rule against it. One Predator isn't going to care if there's going to be one additional fewer prey animal walking the earth as a result of its actions.

That said, I hate the whole "honour" concept with regard to anything militaristic or sadistic. It's a mechanism psychopaths use to justify their actions to themselves. Honour or chivalry is holding the door open for an old lady, or altruistically helping someone who's helped you. Making it harder for you to kill something is just looking for some additional challenge - at the end of the day you're still trying to kill it.

Also the presumption that not blasting a lone guy in the back with a plasmacaster meaning that the Predator has honor is an unfounded assumption. Desiring a challenge (which goes hand-in-hand with hunting down Green Berets and Special Ops forces) does not mean you are honorable.

This, oh god, this. Always my point. He wasn't being honorable, he just wanted a good challenge. He was here to hunt after all, get's down to the last guy, why not make it a good fight. Nothing about the Predator is honorable. He uses a cloak and a laser gun. How is that honorable?

Challenge, sport , honour ,Who cares? The pred has a "code of conduct" during the hunting. No doubt.


1-The Pred only kill armed humans.
2-In the final figth with Duch, he droped all his weapons and electronic gadgets.
3-Even armed humans are "forgiven" if they are pregnat.
4-The kid with the toy-gun was a perfect example.


QuoteHe uses a cloak and a laser gun. How is that honorable?

During a war, if a sniper killed a infantry guy...he is not being honorable? The sniper has ALL the adventage. The Pred is hunting, if ther prey its armed, "its a war target".

Can't say I find war honorable in the least. Necessity, maybe. At times. But no, I wouldn't claim that sniper is honorable. Doing his job/duty, sure. Same as I wouldn't say the Predator in Predator is shown to be honorable. He's out there to have a good time, killing things.

"Good time" its not very accurate, "the hunt" its the goal of their lifes.

Deers are not marines with the ultimated baddass armament of the XXI century. If the Pred is like the humans hunters, he will kill everything, no matter if its armed or not.

Dutch wasn't armed at all during the last fight, yet the Predator was still pretty keen on killing him. Why would they have a rule about that? "If it isn't armed, you can still kill it but you can only use your wristblades"? There's no logical reason behind it, unlike the pregnancy rule which many human hunters use as a means to encourage a reasonably healthy prey population. And why didn't it go after Anna with its wristblades? She would still have qualified, if there was a rule on the subject.

It's because there wouldn't have been any sport in it. She couldn't have hurt it at all, Dutch is about as strong as any human can be (not to mention that he'd caused it some pain earlier) so he presented an entertaining challenge. But the shoulder cannon and cloak weren't necessary - with no weapons, Dutch didn't stand a chance of killing or escaping from the Predator, so it might as well make the kill in the most visceral, enjoyable and drawn-out way possible.
It doesn't correlate with any kind of moral code either, because it certainly didn't need wristblades to make the kill.

Not really. I'm a hunter and we don't kill just for the hell of it. Yes we kill, but that's not the fun of it. It's being with other people. Predators hunt for the hell of it, using tactics like humans: Using the trees to your advantage. To them, we are just deer, waiting to be killed.

Er, yes it did. It just beat him up to start with, but then started using the wristblades during the following chase. At one point you see them sparking off a rock as it misses a slash.
And it very obviously extended them when it had him cornered.

Because simply shooting him after all the trouble would've been boring as ****. He could've killed him when he couldn't walk anymore and was crawling away. The Predator was right behind him and coudl've killed him, after all, Dutch was done, there was nothing he could do anymore. Instead the Predator just watched him to see him squirm and to see when he'd finally give up.

You know I have watched more of these MP vids now and I am noticing a pattern. They all turn into stealth kill fests. The range of the stealth kill is completely ridiculous like up to 20 feet away from of them. And on top of that the game seems overly generous as to whether they are facing away from you or not. Seen a Marine get stealth killed in a vid even though he was looking right at the Alien the Alien just grabs him, spins him around an "stealth" kills him lol.

I think this probably one of the reasons the Marines seem to do so terribly in all the vids too since they cant do stealth kills. It's just completely upsetting the balance of the game when your constantly getting these "Press square to kill" prompts when your anywhere near an opponent. I really hope stealth kills get a major range reduction. In most games that feature something like this you have to be basically touching the persons back before you can finish them that way.

Just to clarify what this thread is for.

New threads should be made for any important videos that are released. It's just that I don't, and probably a lot of other people, don't check this thread for new videos. I just look at what new threads have been made. Like the previous trailers, I would never have known about this new video had someone not told me. You can still use this thread for talking about videos in general but for videos that should be news on the frontpage, please create a new thread. It also helps in tying the news post to a forum thread.

I think the HUD shouldn't have those large white rectangles and those white squares surounding the ammo counters.  

The Marine HUD makes it look like it's still in Alpha.  Only the Alien and Predator HUDs look fine.  But they should change the white in the Marine HUD to transparent green or something.  And make the numbers like how they were in AVP1.

I'm surprised there is still no sign of the Smartgun.   Guess they don't want people to criticize whether
the muzzle flash is large enough and shaped like a 6 point star like in the movie.

AVP2 smartgun muzzle flash looked small and weak.
AVP1 smartgun fired more badass.

Yeah, but there's a variable not defined in the films which is how long it takes for the gun to lock on to a target.

In AvP1 the smartgun was excellent, because the reticule moved fairly slowly - a laterally-moving alien could easily outrun the targetting. This meant using it properly still required skill, and more importantly a skillful opponent could counter it.
AvP2 completely broke the bloody thing though by providing virtually instant auto-aiming, which is what Chris is referring to. There's no skill in its operation and it became barely any less of an exploit than a hacker's aimbot.

I was fine with the "reveal". Although the runner skin was too light in places.  It needed to be colored different in different places, if that makes sense.   ;)

The thermal vision mode needs 1-2 seconds to show "all the heat" arround the helmet. You can see that in the last video---> 1:54

Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: affinity on Dec 01, 2009, 08:49:28 AM
mp demo is unlikely and it would just burn out some of the hype and sales for the full game
since people will be like "been there done that".

There are a lot of cheapasses out there that take advantage of free mp demos but never buy the full
games.

no MP demo would convince more people,

History has shown that the most successful FPS sales are not from demos, most of the

L4D sold 2 million copies in two weeks and they release a mp demo. Certainly some modes were off limit, but that's how you hook em to buy the full game.

If you think a demo will ruin your experience upon release, don't get the demo.

Consumers are much less likely to purchase a product if they are unsure of it's quality. If they don't release a demo, the people who are skeptical of the Bull Shots and odd canon breaking things they put in are not going to purchase it. If they are able to get there hands on a demo and find that it is fun, they'll buy it.

AvP is a VERY multiplayer game. People will be getting it for the purpose of playing online. I think it would be a good idea to market to the multiplayer market.

I'd love a singleplayer demo, but I think a MP demo would allow me to get a better feel as we would be able to play as each species.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread

People who play a MP demo are also more likely to invite their friends to try it out, who will then tell their friends and so on.

If it wasn't for demos, I'd never have gotten into the Unreal series, which has been by far the highlight of my gaming life (and it was a multiplayer demo, too). I can't recommend them highly enough.

Same goes for Civilization, Half-Life, Doom 3, Age of Empires, Max Payne, Far Cry, Delta Force and a bunch more I can't remember at the moment. I've literally pumped hundreds of pounds into the games industry because of demos.

well a 10 day demo makes sense if the MP demo starts like about a week before release.

not sure how long the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta was, but it was limited release.  now people can't download/use the MP demo anymore, which is a good thing.

I admit when I had a 360, I would play the Marble Blast Ultra multiplayer demo (which is still there),
but never buy the full game.  =P  

though AVP is a must buy, demo or not.

That doesn't work well on PCs, since you would want to test how well the game runs on your rig before shelling out the money for the full thing, post release, for people who are still on the fence.

It's organized by "Alien" "Predator" "Marine" or "Multiplayer" ... and it says "Alien" "Marine" or "predator" after all of the multiplayer footage, as well as the length. It's organized chronologically so people know that the newest footage is at the bottom.

If I have time later tonight, I'll think about reorganizing it.

There's something I'm not catching as I'm watching the Eurogamer's Predator video footage.

Isn't somehow redundant that little red cross rendered on Predator's prey as he targets its plasma caster on him?.

Or that red cross is shown indicating that the pred may use any other weapon as the prey gets targeted by the PC?

Other than that, what an outstanding SP gameplay can be seen in this video footage !!

You can still use your melee weapons when your plasma caster is targeting enemies.

Hey Guys I dont know if this has been posted, because i have realized that the 6min alien multiplayer game play video has been removed from you tube. This might be the same one or it might not not sure, either way its some nice footage. For those that are looking forward to ravaging marines and preds as the aliens but have been somewhat skeptical about this auto jumping point mechanic they have been talking about you might be interested to see the last min of this game play video where I believe the player uses it to leap almost instantly from the ground to the roof. I believe it might be quite efficient for some fast maneuvering. Can't wait for this f**king game the first 2 were absolutely amazing. Marines and Aliens all the way.

No, since it's a gun. The spear gun isn't in the game, anyway - instead, we have a throwable spear that (presumably) arcs.

And this spear can be used just to stab, at least an enemy on the floor.

The Pred may have just thrown the spear at the downed Alien, for effect. It looks like hes stabbing it.

Either way, looks like the spear isn't as flexible as the wristblades, although it has the unique trait of disengaging said blades. It's the only weapon that does that.

Link or it didn't happen.

Why shouldn't it be in the game? The spear is probably just a melee weapon with an option to throw it. Not even close to a sniper weapon.

they could make an new informative Multiplayer trailer next month to hype FPS fans more.

Done, but it need to reload it's power now so I can't point anything.
Enough of off topic, the show will be available in several minutes on spike.tv. I'll watch it carefully with hope of some new avp trailer even if I don't think there's gonna be anything new.
I guess it will be the basic "There's gonna be an alien fighting a predator this year with a lot of blood. As playing a character you feel to play as a true alien/predator with all the features such as blablabla" the routine.

That's fine and all, but it's really suppose to be celebrating the industry by showcasing the best games of the year and showing respect the developers. Instead we get stars that don't know squat about the history or development process of video games. Also last time I checked the Oscars didn't paint the name of the best motion picture on naked chicks. In other words the VGAs are like school in the summer... no class.

Honestly though, what do you really expect from Spike TV that basically aims to appeal to the stereotypical dimwitted male. Most TV is tripe anyways and when its being brought to you by spike and sell out celebrities you know its probably tripe, but you can always hope.

I think it's true because when you see Alien gameplay, you can notice their legs and the tail.
It's the same for Marine and Predator as any last FPS game.

1:10 I notice there are visible body.  is it also visible if looking down during gameplay?
Looks heck of a lot more realistic than Mirror's Edge.

AvP is just not that fun game for regular people, kids. Most of kids are playing
CoD6: MW2
Left 4 Dead 2
WoW
DotA

Tho I must say dota is quite ok if you dont count the community.

Older people would play games like mechwarrior, maybe new AvP. AvP gold was for kids, due restriction in that time as all other games :) .

There are few games that are worth playing. That arent just brainless fun games.

For example Batman and Resident Evil 5 are worthy games. AvP will probbly go in that category if it proves itself worthy as it looks (it will be all different when tousants of people start playing it=then we will see if game will work well, in MP).

Whilst we do wait for the upcoming news here. The idea is to highlight 2 or 3 things you liked the most per video/specie. Remember, this is about what you liked and not on what you disliked.

Marine:

The variety of ways you can kill 'em as alien and/or Predator :D
Pistol lamp gadget.

Predator:

Sound-mimicking.
Thermal vision mode.

Alien:

Tail attacks.
The wave-sound you hear as you run/walk.

EDIT: Who moved my precious?!. You see why I created this as a new brand thread?. With all my respects, sir; of course.

More likely the Aliens use a form of telepathy, probably why the Queen has such a big head, she has a much greater range to communicate with drones outside her hive.  Would also explain how she is talking to you in the game.

I was just kidding. Although that I'd say I do agrre on that. An alien Queen could work at SETI by just showing her black and shinny big head.. pity he loves to bite though.

You can see her in the corner of your screen when she wants to "say" something. You will probably hear a sound but that's it. Maybe a 5 second movie showing her hissing when you are receiving your mission objectives.

Not canon wise - when Ripley is in her chamber with Nute she hisses at the guard to go away. I guess she was saying something.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: The_Silencer on Dec 15, 2009, 12:35:50 PM
I think Brother points well to that an icon pops-up on the GUI, highlighting to the player that there's communication open between the Queen and him. Then you can hear or not some of hissing SFX but at the end the player will need, at least, some text to know about what's going on.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread

Post by: The_Silencer on Dec 16, 2009, 05:44:02 PM
Communication between a Queen and her children did look quite telepathic to me in the Aliens movies ( I think it has been said already though ). A combo of hisses and subtitles would be the way ingame, IMO.

Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Chris!(($$))! on Dec 16, 2009, 11:09:35 PM
Maybe its to alert them more directly not to attack Ripley in ALIENS if thats the scene you meant, if she used telepathy she would have possibly been telling the whole Hive not to attack Ripley which would in turn alert some of them of Ripley's presence. I don't think we should look at AvP for things like this or anything but you do have a point.

If you watch some of the AVP-R blu ray special features where they analyze the Alien, one theory is that they have a combination of an exoskeleton and an endo one.

K the idea of telepathic aliens kicks ass, and the idea, from my understanding, is that generally have a hive mind with regards to the Queen thus is why the Queen can give 6 orders.

I like the idea better that it's not a hive mind, at least not in the traditional sense. Yes, there is a telepathic link between all Aliens, with the Queen being at the apex, but they have individual intelligence as well. They can function in solitude. Just look at the first film. Hell, in Aliens there were even a few that were operating on their own, without any other Aliens around it.

I agree that people do complain too much these days lol. But it could be that he just didnt care for the type of game it is, most people are used to the typical 1st person shooter or free roam like Assassins creed or fable or oblivion etc. I personally dont like free roam at all but no matter what people say im still gonna get AVP =P

Its more of gaming news and randomness than actual sense. The only bad thing about that one guy insulting AvP is that he is the shows host so his own fan boys will listen to him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvI7E6L8xkw @ 2:30 Avp is mentioned if anyone cares  :) should help spread the game quite a bit.

That seems to be what most previews are saying, its just not that great lookin on consoles. PC is gettin all the looks. But as Mr.Sark said he's gonna play it regardless and i think everyone is. We need to expect a game that isnt as updated for consoles like Call of Duty or Halo. Rebellion dosnt have near as much money as Infinanty Ward or Bungie but they are still gonna put out a fun game that will be played over and over. It will sell well and Rebellion and SEGA will problably gain profit and put out another AvP which will then look better. But, before we get a second AvP we get Aliens: Colonial Marines which will look fantastic and also be super sic.

Sticking to the original formula is a bad thing? Uh it's Aliens vs Predators... should they be having a dance off instead? Granted I'm biased, but this guy isn't even making claims that make sense nor is he backing up his claims. The gameplay trailers they play during that small bit basically refute the claims he makes.
Had he said, the game was disappointing due to X,Y,Z then it might be credible, but to just say that they're sticking to the same formula and spin it as a bad thing... that's just bullsh*t.

Very true. I played AvP:E a lot and it was barely that fun. But it was still a interesting attempt at a RTS AvP game. I don't think they gave it enough development time because the AvP movie was coming out the next year and they did not want the two to have a close release date.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread

AVP:E was awesome considering people were starving for anything AVP.  

It was a nice RTS without all the tedious resource management.

RTS freaks would argue that's the point of RTS games but I say screw 'em.   AVP: E was fun focusing more on the squad placement and action and that is a good thing.  all 3 species campaigns were fun.
I think ZONO created it, they also created the Sega Channel back then.

They even made it so smooth selecting units with a controller, just place the cursor, hold and let go
when the circle is large enough to select the ones you want,  very innovative control style
to make RTS feel great on console controller.

AVP:E is one of my favorite games still.  The control scheme could be easier, and the Preds feel odd, but the Aliens are what made me buy the game a second time (after I sold it  :() for $25 dollars and without it's original case!

He did indeed! And though I do LOVE his bio helmet, The reason anytime's is my favorite is because it almost feels completely emotionless. Wolf's is definitely designed to look very intimidating and aggressive.

It's why I really love the new bio helm on the Predator in AVP3. It also feels devoid of emotion to me.

That's Wolf. It's nice to see all these skins. I'm getting flashbacks to EuroGamer and God do I miss it. Having had a chance to play and watch SP, I've gotta say MP is gonna get so much more interesting when players get to grips with the combat system. Block and light attack FTW.

Still... Some people just believe anything they hear on the "all knowing" internet. It's always possible that random twat A will be persuaded to not buy / try the game based on his ungrounded arguments about it. If you ARE going to review a game either make it clear that you're joking arround with everything you say or atleast provide some proper confirmation that it is indeed as bad as you say it is.

But the show is a comedy, I don't think people take their words on it if they are going to buy a game or not. If I want to know whether I should buy a game or not I will either rent it, ask friends who have tried it or ask on forums where people can give written reviews about them.

I like how the Aliens in this aren't actually black, but a really, really dull silver-grey. It ends up meaning they mildly reflect the light of their surroundings, blending in when in light but not giving away their position within the darkness.

I love the way they've tried to cover multiple versions of the aliens by giving them six fingers on each hand, but joining some of them together to make it look like there's only four.

I'm just kiddin' they look great lol  :P

Lol its probably because thats how it was in the first movie. There were six fingers but the four in the middle were put together in two because the guy could not grow an extra finger. :P

lol well a complete reveal will be when we play it ourselves.

I think they technically already released a multiplayer trailer, But I never seen a shooter game
like release some trailer that like goes down the list of all the options and modes like some tutorial.
Though that would kick ass if done well.   It would be interesting if they even reveal the number of maps
before release (that way I can add up the 4 extra maps the editions add to that for a total number).
Hm it just is strange what they will decide to do for January.   They have been promoting it well.

I think they have the best open promotion time after MAG releases late January.   So like all the days
in February up to the release, they could have something planned to really build up hype.

Post by: heady89 on Jan 01, 2010, 12:59:48 PM
I think their whole concept of adding 4 extra maps in the Limited Editions is kinda lame slash stupid. You otto expect stuff like steelbook and behind the scenes but gameplay stuff should always be equal and what makes it even worse is that its on release date.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: affinity on Jan 01, 2010, 01:37:36 PM
instead of whining just reserve one of the special editions for yourself. there is PLENTY OF TIME.

Plus it's fair business. those who are willing to pay for the more pricey editions deserve those extra maps.
Anyone who wants to experience AVP at its fullest selection day 1, will buy one of the two special editions.
I remember almost everyone on Metal Gear Online bought the expansion maps cause they knew they would miss out on the full selection if they don't have the maps the others do.   

The game shouldn't be limited just because some are too cheap to fork extra cash for the maps,
when the maps are DLC, people will have to buy them anyway.  It's how normal business works.  You
get what you pay for.

Some may argue that those maps should be on the disk, but whatever the reason, the fact still stands
that if you want those maps, you are better off buying a special edition.   Simple as that.
   ;D

The community will not be destroyed because of this, on the contrary, it gives the game immediate room to expand in map selection and therefore multiplayer variety for those willing to buy a special edition.  So overall the people who buy into it will have extra fun.     ;D

Seriously, it's been about 10 years since AvPGold, it wouldn't hurt to pay 80 even 100 dollars on a game
that will last for a long time online.   If you don't think the maps are worth that much, then no one is forcing you to buy those editions, but if you really into multiplayer those extra maps are a must for any
true AVP gamer fan.

I mean seriously?
I myself have pre ordered the survivor edition yes because i am a fan, how about all the guys or the majority that buys the standard edition?, Just like many here mentioned, doing 4 extra mp maps as a part of exclusive is rather stupid.

I've several friends buying it, their not cheap but their not uber fans and will be buying the standard edition, i stand my ground that gameplay wise it should be equal no matter what version you do buy, especially at release. This is bound to start rage/rumors.. if it was extra SP missions beyond the campaign it would've at least been "okey".

Exactly. We will have to wait and see. I am not getting the Hunter Edition for the extra maps. I am getting cause I am a rabid ALIENS fan. If it were my decision give the maps to each edition and make new ones later on that people that bought the Hunter and Survivor edition can get a bit earlier than the rest or just make them come to EVERYONE at the same time.

That's like people buying extra dinner plates at the store, and later those extra dinner plates are free to everyone to grab and walk away with.

Maps are universallly more useful than more skins.  Besides they are already offering 3 more skins if you pre-order.

If the multiplayer community is segregated that's because casuals are too cheap to want the expanded multiplayer experience. 

They don't deserve to play with us if they are too cheap and dumb to understand how business works.   They've been spoiled by the moments companies handed out free stuff, they really don't value the work put into this extra content.

only the ones willing to pay extra deserve the extra maps.  If it weren't for these edition deals, we would have no option but having 4 less maps than what we could have gotten. 

People should see it from the developer side of things.  Lots of time and testing were put into those extra maps too.    And they cost extra because they are extra content.

Thats all fine and good unless you cannot afford extra maps. Alot of people are not able to get maps or extra content even if they want to. I for one think they do deserve to play with me and everyone else. With that said the studios do need to make money and its fine to charge for them but don't bash the poor people.

I'm not bashing them, it's just the fact of life.   There are many who can't afford a TV, or home,
or a car, many don't even have a console,  but will PCs and consoles and breakfast be handed to them for free? 

People are ranting about something that will not change. They will have to purchase a special edition for those maps if they want them.   And later on maybe even have to buy them as DLC if they still want them, so they shouldn't be surprised about that either.

Free content if that is what the companies want is also based on how successful its sales are, for a company with tight budgets,  Sega and Rebellion can't afford to hand things out for free,
especially since Rebellion has yet to get high scores, awards and high sales from a game they made this generation.

Their need for money from AVP probably will determine their future.   That's why AVP has been their longest and biggest task these past years.   They gotta be successful before they can think about rewarding the consumers with free goodies.  That's why paying extra for the editions results in the reward of downloading those 4 maps.  It's a "thank you" for placing extra investment in their product.

Buddeh, you have been doing that all the time.

Once more you call the people who DON'T WANT or CAN'T AFFORD the shiny stuff - cheap or dumb or less fans than others and they don't deserve to play. How lame is that?

You - the master of business should realize that the price of the 4 maps does not equal the bigger price you pay for the special edition.

Also the basics in economy - lower price = higher demand, and, higher price = lower demand.

Post by: affinity on Jan 03, 2010, 07:28:19 PM
and despite that, this isn't the first time people are confronted with the situation of missing out on more maps because they can't/refuse to pay. 

Most who buy the regular version will still get enjoyment out of the multiplayer without the extra maps, plenty of cases where people are like that.

Take Versus mode for Resident Evil 5, people ranted it should have been on the disk, but people bought it
anyway.  And those that didn't just played regular Mercs mode online.

I take back my unfair bashing, but the reality still stands that it's already been decided what the rules
for obtaining the 4 extra Maps will be.   We don't know how they will be handled as DLC down the road,
but whether charged or free, this isn't going to harm the community one bit.

On RS:V and MGO, I played in lobbies where people didn't get the other maps, and that's okay, because even the ones that buy the extra maps will eventually come back to the Disk Maps as well.   So the community is still connected by those maps. 

Chances are the AVP disk has double the maps the extra maps number.  8 or more.  That leaves plenty
more reasons for regular and special edition players to play together sometimes.

It's just the way business works these days, people can either accept it or miss out on extra content.   

They are calling the shots, so as someone who isn't a heavy spender and has extra money to spend,
I refuse to miss out on those maps since they will deliver a more complete MP selection.   That's a
more rewarding decision for me instead of throwing a fit and being all like "well I'm not buying their product at all if they are gonna do this."   There is a market for DLC content and that's why more
companies are doing it since it works.   

It's kind of like MMORPGS fees back then they were free, but then Everquest started charging people
and now almost all major mmorpgs charge money for their service. 

Same with Xbox Live.  they charge money to play games online and now PS3 will be starting to charge
money for extra services even though I think online play will still be free.

It's simply the way things are and unless you start a revolution, nothing about it will change.

Or it could be that the designers who do the maps and stuff, probably finished their part a while ago, and as such, have been tasked with designing DLC, whilst the game went through the finishing touches and testing.

They havnt even said when the maps will be released, all anybody knows is that the CODE to download to dlc for free comes with the special editions. The maps might not be out until a month after release.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread

I agree what you say expect the When the maps will be downloadable part.   Unless the plan is handled sloppy, they would have the maps ready for download on the very day the game is sold.   I think they would want to avoid the frustration S.E. buyers get if they come home and can't download the maps yet.

Buying directly from PSN Store would probably be locked for sometime if they want to convince more people to buy the S.E. before the maps are available for direct purchase online.     

But in my experience, exclusive DLC for pre-orders and special editions have been available for download same day.

Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: affinity on Jan 04, 2010, 03:52:02 AM
I think 18 refers to player limit.   

I would like to imagine it has 18 maps but in my experience I have yet to encounter a shooter that offers over 12 maps right out of the box.  (Rainbow Six Vegas had I think 10-14.  Ah its been years.  I don't play CoD but I think those have about 14 maps.  It's sickening that Uncharted 2 only has like 7-8 maps.
Timesplitters games had a couple, but they had in-game mapmaker so that bumps up the number.)

but even if AVP only has 10 maps, the 4 extra maps bumps that up to a healthy 14.
And if its 12 maps, the S.E. will raise that to 16.   And if it has 16 maps, the S.E. will raise that to 20! 

Ahhh to be safe I'm only expecting about 8 maps on the disk.  ;D

Apparently there's 18. [maps]

That could been a mix up with the max amount of players being 18. BUT if it is 18, awesome.

There's a magazine article claiming 18 maps. article (page 15) (http://www.gamerzines.com/downloads/magazines/PCGZine_36.pdf) || direct quote (http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/4934/avp.jpg)
Unless we hear anything else (and I haven't thus far), I'd assume they're not mistaken. With 7 gametypes, apparently including a Battlefield-style map-control mode, multiplayer looks to be a huge focus for Rebellion.

AvP2 shipped with 12, for comparison...

yeah but really conquest would be more fun and interesting with species based teams option instead of mixed teams.    It's like counter terrorists and terrorists holding hands,  it's ridiculous.   Conquest-type mode sounds too casual.    I mean mixed option is good too but there should be species based team rules option also.

a 3-way species conquest match would be so epic!   Heck Timesplitters had 4-way capture the flag, 
3 types of zone colors for a species conquest match can work.

Depends on the system they're using, there are several different varieties of map-control gametypes out there (it's unlikely that it'd use flags though - that's CTF and is very different).

The more simplistic one is to have a small number of static nodes on a map, which any team can capture, each node giving the possessing team more points the longer they're able to hold it; most points wins (like Unreal Tournament's Domination gametype). Using this method, there's no need for mixed teams, because map design isn't too much of an issue - players spawn in random locations, you could even play it on modified deathmatch maps.

The other and more widely used method is a network of linked nodes stretching across the map (as in Battlefield's Conquest mode and UT's Onslaught gametype). This map-control system requires completely bespoke maps because each team must have a starting base, but it's a lot more fun because it feels more like a war, with a definite battle line at the conflicted nodes.
It wouldn't surprise me, if they're using this map-control system, if there are two mixed-species teams. Partly because it's never been done with more than two teams before, but more importantly because this gametype is very labour-intensive to map for, and having to think about a third team would make it vastly more tricky.
I suppose they could have a server option to select two same-species teams, but I don't see this being the default option. When you've worked like a mofo to craft three finely balanced species, you don't want to exclude one from each map of a major gametype.


:edit: But I don't know myself. I heard about Conquest the same way as Eldritch.

oh man co-op better not have a time limit.

Maybe when it runs out, the players win that round, and then next round begins with more waves of enemies.    at least that's how the timer works in Uncharted 2.  No wait, it didn't have a timer, it was based on killing a set amount of enemies.

 No idea yet, would be great if we could choose what map to hold on, but I see it being a select few if not 1 with the release, Zombie mode on Cod WaW came with 1 map on release and it was great, eventually they released 3 more maps, so maybe we will see something like that.

Hopefully we get more than 1 map to play co-op on..

I feel 3-4 hours is long enough per campaign being if set on it's hardest difficulty it would take possibly double that time, I always start my games on the hardest setting availible.

it should support all the maps used for MP.   

I mean, it would make sense to design all MP maps to have spots for a.i. aliens to spawn from for co-op.

That would be whack if there are only a few exclusive maps for co-op.   as fun as 4 player co-op will be,
a limitation of supported maps for co-op would lessen its replay value. 

People would just go back to Species Deathmatch, or even Infestation for a co-op feeling with more maps to choose from.

it's been 10 years but I think AVP Gold, co-op could be played in all maps I think.   No wait, I think it was limited.  Ah not sure. 

oh wait here it is!  Pulls out AVP Gold addendum:

Sewer, Jockey, Hive, Leadworks, Hadley's Hope, Meat Factory, Nostromo, Subway, Elevator, Lab14,
and Compound support co-op.

Massacre, Statue and Office do not.

IF AVP3 is something like that, with the vast majority of MP maps supporting co-op, then that is sweet.

It would be sick to see all the MP maps supporting co op but i doubt that will be the case. like Drone 23 said, cod WaW came with one zombie map and it wasnt even a map in MP. then dlc came and it was like a totally different game... Actually, they did use "Assylum" for one dlc zombie map... for me this whole game is about the Marine, lets hope they add a lot of co op maps.

CoD WaW is not a good example since Infinity Ward are a piece of **** overrated developer just like Bungie.
They couldn't even provide a decent co-op experience.    Just look at MW2, they cancelled the zombie co-op mode people enjoyed in WaW despite being so small in variety.


Rebellion is a totally different and I think if they still got as much dedication as before with map modes support, co-op in AVP3 might be supported in most of the MP maps.    Maybe even the 4 special edition maps too.

I honestly thought MAG was going to be boring, but after you get the feel for the game it becomes addicting! The graphics are a little bland at first but after you imerse yourself in the battle and become a part of the online madness you forget about it and focus on objectives and skill points!

Death Match Modes - Mixed Species, Team Species, Free For All

Survival - Skirmish, "Horde", "Firefight"

Predator Hunt - Hunt, VIP is similar to this

Infestation - Survivor, "Infection", "Zombies", "Mutant", Last Man Standing

Conquest - Control, I am guessing basically Team Species or Mixed Species with conquest/capture/defend goals.

Next two I am hoping for Evac and a tactical mode of some sort where team work is vital.

We were unlucky and didn't get time to try Survivor, we got a glimpse of the Removed on request - sreteP multiplayer mode however.

They took it off, but it said " Conquest "

1) Pretty big question there, as for first impressions all 3 campaigns to me were extraordinarily well put together. Being the multiplayer animal I am this stood out for me. As for handling the bug at least handles very differently to both AVP1 and 2, it's not bad per se, the melee battles will be great, just different. The floor to ceiling jump is in, not sure about wallhopping.

2) We didn't get to see any weapons other than the starting ones, so pistol, pulse rifle, wristblades, and shoulder cannon.

3) Nope.

4) Removed on request - sreteP

5) We only managed to catch a glimpse of conquest because I saw the testers playing a match and asked a few questions about it. So we didn't officially catch any multiplayer.

6) They track, but you have to be in focus mode to lock target. It's a different animal to the old SC but some older players will be glad to know that it doesn't have to track.

7) Yes, very sexy.

First impressions:

Seems like straight on gunfire stops you in your tracks literally.

Why would you ever fight straight on as an Alien.  Being able to see through walls means infinite ability to flank.

Looks outrageously fun.

Nah, not really. I was just referring to what a lot of people do when they lack experience/knowledge of both operating systems: macs are better looking, that's a fact, and some people base their purchase of one off of that.

In almost all the videos it seems like the players are just running in circles shooting,
slashing, ... at things that cross their path... running into walls, falling of from places,
no signs of any kind of sneaking, stalting, ... nothing...

Why might this be ??

A. Because they are playing at some event and there are other people breathing
down their necks...

B. Because they are playing FPS game on Console and this is simple the best you
can expect...

C. Because those playing are "hardcore" PC players trying to play on console...

D. Because there is something seriously wrong with the controls...

E. ...

I'd say A. and also taking the game with a "generic FPS" approach.
So they don't try to use their abilities much. They probably haven't played the other AvP games.

Post by: Drone23 on Jan 10, 2010, 10:27:27 AM
 That last Alien video looked great, the speed of the alien is jaw dropping... as said the reason we have yet to see much stalking is due to the location their playing in, people waiting in line to play, you get a turn and you just start bolting around trying to get as much action/killin in as possible..

When the games released we will see montages of true stalking, multi kills, kill streaks... can't wait..
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: safetyman on Jan 10, 2010, 10:53:32 AM
Yeah, I think you can chalk it up to the fact that it's an unconventional FPS with a lot of elements that affect gameplay, people are all around you so you can't get a peaceful moment like you can at home, plus the inaccuracy of a controller versus what you actually want it to do.

Because its Deathmatch so you dont have time to paly as real race. Only thing you can is run and kill. You die, you respawn, so there isnt any real reason to play slowly and tactically coz fast players will have advantage.
This will for sure take away experience to play as the race as it should feel like. I dont like this. Way to fast.

I hope there is opinion to turn lifes to 0, so when you die you need to wait for the next round. This way people would think before reach, coz they will have to wait for their next chance.
For me deathmatch is last interesting mode, it can be fun, but not for long.

It mainly depends with who you're playing.
I have no problem by being stealthy, etc. in TDM since you know in return other people will do the same.
I had some amazing game on AVP2, very long and everything was some cat & mouse hunt. This just require some people who "understand the movie vision" and forget for a time the "stupid geek player" attitude.
It's rare nowadays, but few does.

Right ways doesn't exist.
The only thing you can do is to find people who will "share" with you their gaming experience as close as yours if you want a decent game.

The looks is good, the animation is bad.
It seems the hand don't move, they just teleport to this position and stay still, then teleport back to attack.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread

It would be better if they just animate slash animation, try to do it with your hand, its slash, not hit... the animations is, swing, it stops and then continues.

That's why it looks stiff. There are still some bugs, like when performing trophy kills you will glide to enemy, when you penetrate with tail you can hit another enemy but the game wont recognize that.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread

Im more concerned about the map gitches, there shouldn't be any glitches to get through walls so you can hit people and they can't see/hit you at all.     Or shooting through some walls.    If there are, it would be a good priority to fix those first.

Yea, I was thinking they should do the standard boxing cover up.  Unless the Predator already has that one.  Not to mention it would kill some of your peripheral vision and make it more interesting(that is to say, you can just block the whole time, see what's going on, then swipe.

It seems to me that people who just spam blocks will either learn the true meaning of a heavy attack to the face or learn to play properly.

One reason to feel better about wanting to play the marine!  8)

Speaking of which, I think the marine should have a behind-only trophy kill using the knife. It makes sense in my head, anyway, to plunge your knife into the predators back when he is unaware.

Pred blocking with his wristblades looks fine in 1st person view...
Not so great in 3rd person view though...

But I don't think I really like this blocking stuff anyway...
Certainly for aliens it feels out of place...

Some dodging function might be more fitting...

I think you can only block light melee attacks. So you'll look pretty silly spamming blocks if your opponent whacks you with their tail, a nasty wristblade uppercut or shoots you.

The new gameplay videos look amazing, I'm so stoked for this game.
Agreed that the Alien first-person melee anims need work, but I don't have any problem with the concept of them blocking. The critter in Alien 3 did it when Ripley went at it with a pipe, if I remember rightly.

What do you think a wrist blade swipe (or 2) will do on those awesome looking x-crossed karate style hands? Maybe it's just my play style but that attack looks quite strong, Eidotemit mentioned the spear is even stronger, so I wouldn't stick around in front of him just because I can block. Shaq style!1

lets not forget aliens have exo-skeletons so there arms would be pritty sturdy.. i mean they rip apart metal doors, but then if the wristblades could cut an Aliens head in half then maybe it is silly putting a block in, im not sure.. i think ill have to wait to play it for myself to decide..

I'll be glad to test the mechanics of this feature, as much and as often as you like, in one or more online games.
As long as I have not personally played this game alive, and considering that it is still subject to changes due that it has not gone gold yet, aloow me to reserve any further comment regarding this issue.

As seen in the movies, took several bites to kill one pal. Thus headbiting is the ultimate way to do it fast and painless. If you want, you may imagine that there're 2 colonies competing to survive on the grid, thing which might be good fooder for some writer in the "other side".

Well, that certainly changes the significance of the bonus maps. People who buy the standard edition will only be paying for 2/3rds of the multiplayer game.
I don't have a problem with 12 maps in total though, that's the same number as AvP2 at launch.

Those people would be nitpicking.  Twelve is very good number for launch, and should cover each mode fairly well.
Personaly I don't really care too much.  It just makes them easier to memorize.

Well, that certainly changes the significance of the bonus maps. People who buy the standard edition will only be paying for 2/3rds of the multiplayer game.
I don't have a problem with 12 maps in total though, that's the same number as AvP2 at launch.

I'd be happy with 12 maps too, if that were the actual number of maps. It's 8 maps, and 4 four that you need to either pay extra for now, or later.

Well, i rarely play all maps included in a game, since the quality, balancing, theme etc. varies a lot.

As long as those 8 maps are well designed, they will be enough for me. It also depends on the game modes, still not sure if we can play survivor or conquest on every map.

I don't plan to buy the DLC, but might do that anyway, if i get to see the maps first. I think releasing 4 maps at day one (they are included in the hunter edition anyway, so they were always ready to release and didn't require any additional work), which is 50% of the stock maps, is kind of a rip-off. If they would release additional maps in a few months as an DLC/expansion, i wouldn't mind it at all and would actually appreciate that. I don't think that DLC are generally a bad idea.

They said the DLC will be available later for standard buyers (that doesn't sound like day 1 for everyone), so I would just enjoy the 8 maps until the rest are for sale on PSN Store.   ;D

Maybe that is the part that has to do with how hidden you are or how much in the shadows you are so you can know if any marines can see you.

Kinda refreshing to see the PC footage. I like the interior setting for that part of the marine campaign, though knocking aliens off with the riffle is funny.

Very cool footage, but I can't say I really dig the fact it seems possible to melee aliens ... actually I'm impressed you even get enough time to melee at all. I hope Aliens don't suffer the Ganado Syndrome (cf RE4) where they just rush up close and do nothing for a few secs.

5 minutes for one of alien missions

http://tvgry.pl/?ID=806

video-preview (skip to 0.47)

http://tvgry.pl/?ID=805

They played sp only( the whole sp campaign, 3 species i think but not sure). They said that overall AvP is good game but the were expecting something more form it. From the 3 species they liked alien the most with it's stealth gameplay, marine was the worst - not scary at all, straight for A to B shooter, pred was in the middle. There were very few cutscenes and the story didn't draw them in.

Usually when someone does a preview/video preview you need to send it over to them for approval, then you're OK to make it public. I believe Hicks had to sign a NDA as well but that's the exception as they were visiting the studio.

Gry-online might have been approved after all but nowdays, it's kind of usual that foreign websites leak this stuff unintentionally. Anyway, don't be surprised if it gets removed.

From the 3 species they liked alien the most with it's stealth gameplay, marine was the worst - not scary at all, straight for A to B shooter, pred was in the middle. There were very few cutscenes and the story didn't draw them in.

thats not a good sign then, hope there not doing an EA and spending all there money on silly events and hype when it could all be used to help the game.

People looking forward to this game because of the story are fooling themselves anyway.
It's not like this kind of game usually has a deep story. Isn't that what the Halo were praised for at first ? For having some kind of plot in a shooter. Yeah I know, it was a long time ago, but I don't feel modern shooters are supposed to have RPGesque plot anyway. Only very few of them actually do.

Still I'm pretty sure fans of AvP will definitely enjoy that one, even if it doesn't meet "standard" plot requirements for "common" players.
... I'm mostly looking forward to the multiplayer anyway.

in the refinery mission you will sabotage human efforts to secure the colony
the guy says that the Alien is very weak and can easily die in a crossfire of two marines, you need to make quick stealthy attacks to accomplish your missions
alien's vision adapts to light automatically, adding diffrent types of colour gamma and contrast, there is only one standard vision mode
the harvesting mechanics is just an addon, it doesn't affect the gameplay and it only adds points in the overall campaign score
Predator and Marine campaign videos will be uploaded soon

It's not like one or two previews mean anything esp. if it's still work in progress. Geting bad rewievs from many mags/sties is another thing tho. Usualy games scoring below 70 on metacritic aren't worth your money. On the other hand Bayonetta got 91 there but I whouldn't even play it for free  ;) So yeah who cares about reviews/previews, just enjoy the vids  ;D I'll link to the marine/pred gameplay vids when they are on the site next week.

Gotta be honest and say the gameplay video diminishes my enthusiasm. The AI looks ... well, predictably dumb. The Alien was facehugging a guy while his buddy stood still literally five feet away because he was on the other side of a car. You'd assume the screams and hissing and wet sounds would encourage him to get the f**k out of there. It was funny to see him immediately book it when the Alien rounded the bumper. Plus not reacting to the sound of lights being shattered, etc.

Plus plus, I'm getting a vibe that this is going to be mediocrity at its finest. Trophy kills a game does not make.

even if all you say is true, AvP could still be an excellent multiplayer experience

I think it would be a good idea for Rebellion to make the AI very responsive on higher difficulty levels

For instance when you land behind a marine as a predator, the marine immediately responds to the thudding noise

Could be, but it's definitely disappointing to see AvP fall prey (pun intended) to a pretty obvious and distracting gameplay mechanic like that. If they didn't make such a big deal out of the sneaky times elements it would be less of buzzkiller. BUT, they made a to-do about all of it and then you just kinda have to roll your eyes at the big reveal. It's very the opposite of immersive. It's silly to have some kinda meter telling me how well-hidden I am in the dark, but I can drag my bulkhead door smashing claws along the ceiling without so much as a peep outta the guys below me. 
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Stalker on Jan 17, 2010, 08:13:56 AM
I think the stealth elements will make the game more interesting. In AVP2 you just ran around tearing up everything in your way, no strategy or thought involved at all.

Admittedly though, some of the kill moves do seem like they would attract more attention. The marine turns & stares at you with mouth agape for a full 2-3 seconds before you cut his head off with the tail, & he doesn't even let out a gasp. I find that hard to believe.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: safetyman on Jan 17, 2010, 08:19:44 AM
When I saw the gameplay I was relieved to see that people don't just run away screaming and crying as soon as there's the slightest hint of something unknown lurking around, like in AvP2. It just made it into a mindless slasher. Now you can actually walk on a dark roof just above peoples heads without being seen - just like you would be able to in real life - Instead of being instantly spotted and shot at by a completely stationary marine who you then proceed to mindlessly kill and eat, rinse and repeat until the level ends.

I hope they also didn't design the levels to be like AvP2 where, if you got lost, you could easily spend 5-10 minutes just walking around the now familiar-to-the-point-where-you-just-feel-like-quitting level until you find that magic opening where you were supposed to go all along, but since you didn't find it when you were supposed to, got stuck going in circles.

His eye's flashed... all  I wanted  ;D
Probably due to the trophy kill and not changing vision modes, either way I'm happy.

in one of the demos a marine was facing a corner with his back to the open, the player-controlled predator just walked up to him and rammed his wristblades into the marine's back . . . I hope the AI was dumbed down in that clip just so the guy demonstrating the game could easily show stealth kills

No... Enemies should take same "realistic" amount of damage regardless of the difficulty IMO
and the number of enemies should remain the same fitting amount to the situation...

Difficulty should mostly affect how effectively enemies can kill the player... On Hardest their
attacks/weapons should be equal to players and on easier settings they should be weaker of
course... In addition the difficulty could affect things like: How fast they react, how well
they aim...

Yeah in old games the AI just does more damage and has more health.... These days difficulty does affect the AI. > Enemies flank you more, take cover more. Etc etc...  It's not impossible that it influences their enviromental aweress... I hope it does. <.<
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Brother on Jan 17, 2010, 10:07:35 PM
How fast enemies react and how well they aim is the AI. You wouldn't want to play the campaign on easy and the AI alien to be standing there and be acting dumb (reacting slower/attacking you later). Though the better aiming can apply against AI preds and marines because of the long range attacks, but still they shouldn't spot you later and react slower or run around before they start shooting.

This. It felt sooo retarded in AvP2 on Hard. Playing as an alien, you had to tail hit a pred at least 100 times to kill him. Same for the marine campaign - the pred you face had a ridiculous amount of HP.

It just seems to me that  the vast majority of xbox players receive most of their media regarding upcoming games through the marketplace. Releasing the rest of the trailers there would at least give a reason to even download the demo when that eventually comes out. If they don't get magazines and don't look up games on the internet, then how else will they be informed enough and encouraged to give the demo a shot?
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread

I first found out about this game on the market place.. I keep up with games and couldn't believe it when I saw the AvP logo on Xbox live, I wasn't even sure if it was real, or just an arcade game, after watching the video, I got on my PC looked everything up I could find, found this site, been here sense..
Already knew about planetavp, but it feels like that site never gets updated..

I would love to see some of the trailers on it, just to spread the word, the kill moves trailer would spread like wild fire..

Hey guyz did you notice they removed alien gameplay in rafinery and that gameplay with all 3 species in one video (2mins) ?

RRResearch Lab, thats the one, could'nt quite make it out thanks. Decent amount of missions I think , so do all three species have the same missions just different characters or does certain ones have extra missions?

Those alien "vent transitioning" things could be nice if they were optional helpers
(If aliens players could still walk in/out of those places without them too, under
their own control
) but thats not the case is it ?? They are the only way in/out
of those vents and such I am afraid... :-\

its not realy 'over' simplified... the old games were just a button mash when it came to attacks, and the only addedthing they had thats not in this game is crouch, so how one can say this game is simplified compared to the older versions is beyond me...
this has better graphics, better animations, more gore, and is more interactive interms of stealth (witch was basicaly impossible in the old games due to poor AI).

Sure there new kind of interactivity in there... special stealth kills, and trophy kills,
and light attacks which are faster but can be blocked and strong attacks which
are slower but can go through blocks and...

But then they have left out important things like Crouch, and tried to make things
work with too small number of buttons and make everything easy or something by
making various things happen automatically and in way they believed people want
to and in situations where they believed they be needed... But their beliefs are
not going to go hand in hand with reality...


Certainly not all the time... In the begining they may help (some) but later on
when people have learned some skills, they will turn upside down into obstacles
which hinder smooth gameplay...

I have to dissagree, if you want 'complicated' controls get it on PC and set your own button config, its set perfect for console and i honestly can not see any other way that they could of pulled it off... imho they have did a great job.

Maybe... It maybe as "perfect" as it can on consoles I suppose... (I don't really know)
But I am not getting it on any console... I am getting it for PC of course... ::)

And I don't want complicated controls... I just want the controls... I want to be able

you know seeing the smartgun in gameplay action, I'm already loving the new sound.  I like the muzzle flash effect.  It's not as large as AVP1's awesome muzzle flash, but it's WAY BETTER than AVP2's weak looking and sounding smartgun muzzle flash.

Post by: Big Head Ninja on Jan 21, 2010, 08:03:10 AM
I can't say I like the idea of having to push a button to transition between surfaces, but I don't have a real problem with jumping into vents. I could see it being useful to escape, and with a bit of practise it could become quite an important ability for Alien players. It was quite annoying to have to maneuver yourself into vents in AVP2 while being shot.

If you want to enter the vent, press A. If you don't, Don't press A. Easy.

In previous games those vent and such openings were just that... Openings... You could
go through anyway you choose... You could walk, run, jump, strafe, backpedal... You could
go half way through and then change your mind and pull back... You could get out from the
vents to any direction you wanted... up, down, left, right... You had "full" control over what
your character did...

But with this AvP(3) system you have to get close to the vent, aim at it and hit a button
to activate this automated transition... during which you have no control over what is going
to happen... (its like some mini cutscene...) The transition moves you all the way from one
side of the opening to the other, and to some predefined position and orientation which
you have no control over...

This AvP(3) system would have been fine (or great even) if it was an optional helper system
build in addition to that good old fashioned system. (But if it replaces the old and is now the
only way to go through those vent opening like it seems to then it really sucks...)

In the alien gameplay video. The guy stops before entering, the text appears, presses key and enters.

To be honest, I like the way it's done way better. Because I don't want to have to crawl up on the side of the vent when there is a hole in the bottom of the vent in order to stay in the vent.

This. And it solves the problem with the wall-walking errors in previous games, when the alien start a break-dance arround the vent, trying to enter but it still crawling arround.

AvP2 had crappy wall walking pretty much. Make the edges of the vents smoother/make the alien movement smoother while wall walking and entering vents and you're there. Not that hard really.

They're generally quite harsh, so I'd predict 8.5 or less.

I'd rather just press a button and know with 100% certainty that I'm in the vent. Even the most experienced player would have a hard time jumping from the ground to the inside of a vent up on the ceiling whilst being shot at.

Chances are you'll jump at it and stick to part of the ceiling next to it, quite possibly the very lip of the vent itself, then just before getting over the disorientation you yourself get turned into the new grill cover by the dickhead standing under you with the machine gun.

Wrong. It is  very possible even in AvP2's crappy gameplay.

there is no justice in rating this game below 90%.    this is the one game at least worth bribing those hollow headed big time  reviewer mags/websites so they can further convince the mainstream audience they should invest in buying AVP as the must play game of the year.

I mean come on, if garbage like Gears of War and Modern Warfare 2 get hyped and scored by reviewers to the point of casuals actually "believing" it's the best game they ever played,  a similiar phenomenon could work in AVP's favor as well.


AVP deserves more than just cult status.   And despite whatever criticisms people could think of for this game, there are just as many good reasons why it deserves more praise, respect and success than other games.

Tequila: I guess we're even, how's the head? Come on in and grab yourself a Pulse Rifle.

It feels like the protagonist is a mute not answering on such kind of things to me. And why ask such things in the first place, if the rookie doesn't say diddly-squat. The game Prey is the best example of a great speaking protagonist in a shooter.

that new Marine campaign video kicks ass.   Though I think receiving their first Pulse Rifle should of been done like the Master Sword.  Except more epic like  a Gun in the Stone.

You'd have a point if it didn't look as if you'd be dropping and picking up weapons like a crippled janitor at a gun convention.

Ammo seems so precious that you'll be forced to give up your pulse rifle and have to locate another one later on. I forsee that there'll be plenty to find.

I love the lighting and the grid shadows that appear on the gun.

Also the fact that the animations for interacting with objects is far more realistic than other games.

The Marine ACTUALLY PRESSES SPECIFIC KEYS WITH HIS FINGER in a realistic and accurate manner!

No invisible hands interaction or patting keyboards with oven mitts.

That movie had Jennifer Lopez and the much under-rated Kari Wührer. No Michelle Rodriguez.

God knows why people keep saying it looks/sounds like she's in this game, though. It's like no other actresses with a tan happen to exist! If anything, she sounds more like Eliza Dushku (even though it's obviously not her, either).

and then when they are about to attack, they change to even wearder pose where
they keep their elbows in level with their head... ::)

And someone PLEASE tell me what in the name of all that is holy and sacred in the A/P universe is that marine doing? Is he a freakin terminator or something? Those f**kin aliens eat steel doors and the player can just kick em off flying?

I don't recall any bitch slapping, only the alien get a face full of Assault rifle. Of course I don't like it, but i'm not going to throw a fit and ruin my enjoyment of a game just because it isn't faithful to the original Alien.

The funny thing is that the Aliens have the most health they've ever had out of all the games and the pulse rifle doesn't really knock them back. So a Marine shoving an Alien is generating more force than a pulse rifle.

Well It's a game and you have to realize that maybe they had to make that sacrifice other wise being a marine would be severly handicapped to the point where it would lose appeal of being a actual three way battle.
Both predator and alien are forced to make sacrifices so this game can be enjoyable for EVERYONE, not just one species/fan.
Hopefully the new Alien colonial marines game will be able to focus on just two species and therefore they will be able to get it more accurate to your views.  ;D

The Aliens and Predators diddnt have one hit kill prompts in the previous games either.  Already preview journalists said its tough surviving as a marine.  They have to balance it right, to me it looks like they are doing a fantastic job, but I guess I dont watch every video looking for something small to complain about.

I think you are only able to counter grab attacks if you are at high health, if you are wounded already you have no chance of escape. A healthy marine would at least stand a small chance of being able to fend off an alien for a second, after all, Vasquez managed to subdue one momentarily with enough force in Aliens. A strong enough kick could at least stun an alien long enough for the marine to recover.

Plus, predator trophy kills can be countered too, it's all for the sake of balance.

Balance. I'm starting to really hate that word.

QuoteVasquez managed to subdue one of them momentarily with enough force in Aliens.

Completely different situation. In the movie she subdued the alien because it was below her and it was injured IIRC. She pinned it to the ground with the help of freakin gravity.

Now look at the video. What I see is a marine smacking an alien repeatedly and kicking it off the stairs. There's even a move, when an alien pins you to the ground, you hold it by the neck (what the f**k?!) and kick it off (almost) flying.

A f**kin tiger, bear or even a rotweiler would totally eat your ass in a situation like that. And the ultimate biomechanical horror gets kicked off. Frankly, f**k you, Rebellion. And to think how much I loved the company because of AvP1..

Post by: MadassAlex on Jan 25, 2010, 10:35:03 AM
All in all, it depends mostly on how weighty the Alien is considered to be. Aliens being steel-rippingly strong doesn't prevent other forces from acting on them.

The hit down the stairs thing was dumb, though.

I had not watched that recent video until now, I thought it would be spoiler-filled so steered clear of it.

I see what you were referring to, the marine player is basically slapping the aliens around with a pistol. Total bullshit.

Hopefully on the higher difficulty levels they will be much more dangerous.

I'm assuming that video was on a very low difficulty, the player seemed to have no problem plowing through hordes of aliens. On Nightmare, I'll bet it will be a much different story.

Nightmare is the only way to go in my opinion- what's the point in playing a tense, scary game if all the monsters are watered down to be weak & non-threatening by playing a lower difficulty?
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: MadassAlex on Jan 25, 2010, 10:59:59 AM
The point is different skill levels.

People want to play a consistent narrative experience, and if the game is too hard, then that'll be too fractured and frustrating to achieve. I'll be playing it on hard mode because I want to be punished for every mistake - Aliens and Predators are the biggest badasses in the universe and should act as such. In addition, I have a pretty good skill level when it comes to first-person shooters.

But for someone more panicky and less precise with their shots, normal (or even easy!) might be the better choice, because it could still offer a decent challenge to them without breaking up narrative progress too much.

The trick is to find a difficulty where you're getting by, but only by a hair's breadth.

Superman resilience won't help them (especially since you can smack em with a pathetic little pistol) if they are slow and behave like tards . They just stand around the rine, not even trying to kill him for most of the time. They just friggin stand around.. if three aliens would be near me like that in both previous games, I'd be dead in a few seconds. Even on easy.

In my opinion:

Alien should be clearly dominant in Melee...

Their attacks should be clearly faster/stronger/easier (More effective) than Predator
melee attacks... And their strenght should be superior over Preds. (which means that
in every grab attack and trophy kill struggle and such they should always have the
upper hand...)

Predators maybe able win in melee fight with Aliens but only through Clearly Superior
skills... And Marines changes in melee with Aliens should be just non existent...

But aliens should be purely Melee fighters...

They shouldn't have any uber jumps which let them glide from one side of the map to
the other very quickly and they shouldn't have any uber speed either... (They maybe
able to sprint faster than Humans/Preds but only marginally and only for a short time)

They shouldn't hunt by running down their prey like some Cheetah... More like some
Lion... They should need to utilize sneaking and stalking tactics to get close to their
prey and then close in the final meters with quick leap/charge... Followed by quick
and quite kill...
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: MadassAlex on Jan 25, 2010, 11:05:03 AM
I think you're overreacting. The AvP1 Aliens were badass, sure, but the AvP2 ones just ate shit and died all the time. These ones are actually faster than them and clearly act more intelligently. For instance, they seem to choose attack paths that are covered (which you might've noticed was foiled by convenient explosive barrel placement). In other videos, we've seen them, again, take routes that are covered by darkness or objects and kill AI Marines in one hit.

In addition, they don't announce their presence like in the previous games. In both the Predator and Marine videos, we've seen the player take damage from behind with absolutely no warning. In both previous games, the Aliens were much louder as a general thing and in AvP2, rarely (if ever, to my memory) attacked you from behind.

EDIT: It'd be cool to witness some Alien vs. Predator fights as a Marine in SP, especially if Rebellion break away from the cliche and don't have the Predators utterly dominating the Aliens.

So am I.

But if you look at this and compare the situation to every other game and every comic, ever, the Aliens we've seen are the strongest they've ever been, perhaps just shy of the Alien movies themselves. The bash/block move might be truly justified on harder difficulties due to the Aliens having impossibly large amounts of health and therefore being truly difficult to kill before making hand-to-hand combat range.

Hell, the Aliens being this resilient make Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez, Gorman and Ripley seem like even bigger badasses than we already thought they were.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Puks on Jan 25, 2010, 11:14:35 AM
Quoteharder difficulties due to the Aliens having impossibly large amounts of health

I really hope this isn't the case. I'm fine with the resilience, they take a lot of punishment, but I'd prefer if the difficulty wasn't based on enemy health, rather the player's health and number of enemies. Endlessly spawning aliens on director's cut back in '99 were the shit!  ;D

I'm sure the difficulty will affect the AI too, they will probably be much more relentless & aggressive on the higher levels. I'm sure I remember Rebellion saying they are significantly toned down on the lower settings, including their speed. Aliens on Nightmare might be able to descend upon you & kill you before you even know what happened.

To not constantly die and have to restart it all the time. :)

The more obvious way to satisfy these factors is to simply have squad members, of course... If it was just Hicks, in 'Aliens', that film would have ended fairly quick.

'Alien 3' disagrees with you. :) Look at how much strength it would take to leap out of that lead.

We also see the one guarding Newt, in 'Aliens', swiftly leaping between surfaces to try and get at Ripley.

i'm not understanding the alien's apparant slowness to react up close, seems like lazyness on the developers part.... let me understand this. the aleins react fairly reailistically at a distance, scaling walls and leaping around, but once they close the distance they just stand there. this is absurd beyond belief. why? that takes the immersive experience away almost completey..

let me ask this question? wouldn't it have been to the developers advantage to make the marine's weaponry completely slow down the alien's in stride, so that a close quarters battle could be avoided...

i can understand a strong healthy marine repeling a weak small alien MAYBE 10-20% of the time for a brief moment, but these marines are freaking T-800s arent they?

A strong marine with an armored boot can kick back an Alien according to Rebellion, They had to balance the game for all three species,  I doubt they will change anything at this point so you might as well start dealing with it.

Sorry it has been posted before and its not the first 9min. of the alien campaign. In hick's report from playing the beginning of all 3 campaign's its mentioned how it starts. Not to mention there are a few screenshots of the beginning aswell. It does look however like its about maybe halfway threw the first alien level.

well i have no problem with stopping an alien up close in certain situations, maybe knocking it back some with your legs a little bit.. the PROBLEM is how the aliens just stand there waiting to die.

i have no problem with Rebellion tweaking the multiplayer either to make the species somewhat balanced, but geez, if they were gonna make the marines that strong i wish they had some sort of backstory(better armor, enchanced mech aided limbs, SOMETHING) to make it more realisitic...considering its in the future, something like that coulda worked imo

I'm not sure what difficulty it was being played on but when I played on normal, the Aliens weren't shy about raping me. They were extremely intelligent at a distance, using cover to move around, using the shadows to flank me. On more than one occasion when I hadn't taken them out in a distance they surprised me by attacking me and when I'd turn to take them on, they'd retreated into the shadows again.

I found the AI very effective. Especially when there's about 3 of them. I got killed more than once.

It is a bit like the disc from Predator 2 but with spikes. One thing that makes me happy is that it is not automatically homing this time. It'll be a challenge to master it, but it shall be done ;)

I am a little bit disappointed that the combistick is only used for throwing and not melee, but at the same time I see the problems in getting it to work properly and be of use.

From the top of my head I remember of that video in which a Pred is on a bridge fighting those 4 or 5 aliens running towards to him. Yeah.. he throws the disk, hits a couple aliens and then what.. disk is over for the rest of the action?.

Yes, but it's technically a devolution: If that 'shurikan' thing is more advanced than the disc, then why incorporate the disc-hold? If, on the other hand, they're equally as advanced, then why does the disc need relatively cumbersome blades, when it had some sort of atomic virbational thing going on before, which was obviously sharp enough to cut effortlessly through several sets of flesh and bone in the second film?

It's an interesting look, but in practical terms, it's odd.

I'd like that to be true! The film never showed it homing by beam-riding. What I remember of it on footage, however, is that the beam is activated when it's thrown. I'm guessing it just hasn't locked on because of not being in the right visual spectrum, was all.

It should just be luck of the draw. The thing's meant to be throwable and close-combat, with lots of power, but require the disadvantage of being manual.

I like the fact that the disc is no longer an auto-targeting weapon, it actually requires some precision & skill to use. As shown in this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3swiIHZzc9Y) video, though, it can still be very effective. The player even hits moving targets at distances of over 100ft. There's another video which shows a pouncing alien get killed in mid-air by a well-aimed throw.

The "excuse" for pred weapons being what they are is that they are not
weapons of war, they are hunting gear... They are hi-tech adaptations of
primitive designs... And different preds seem to have their own more or
less unique toys to play with...

Shoulder Cannon is propably an exeption... Its predators PDW...

The plasmacaster is clearly the equivalent of a predator's rifle. Just look at the original Predator, half of the creature's kills involved sniping unaware victims from the trees.

I think they prefer to hunt with a  more 'traditional' arsenal. They don't particularly need or want to further advance their technology, old-fashioned edged weapons seem to suit them just fine.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: MadassAlex on Jan 27, 2010, 10:44:16 AM
There's also the fact that their weapons, hunting or not, are well-suited to individual-scale combat.

Predators wouldn't make effective foot-soldiers, but they do make excellent spec ops sort of fighters because their weapons and technology are so suited to small confrontations.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread

I'd say their actual military weapons and tech are far more advanced than hunting gear which they use simply for amusement..

Exactly. There's no doubt that the Predators have the technology to live relatively comfortable and peaceful lives yet that's not their racial tmeperament nor culture. Instead they actively go out to seek hunting game and put themselves in danger in the process; they are bloodthirsty and seem to have an inherent need of proving themselves.

I hate how the predator doesn't sound predator at all when he gets hurt. Don't they usually moan like they did at the end of Pred 2? 'The Nmooooooo! '

A rather lame display of the game...

I seriously hope this game turns out good. Based on some videos it looks like alot of fun, but based on this it looks bland.

In pred gameplay, look at the first marine it kills, the body falls throught the floor!

I think that's the game's (intentional) corpse removal system.

Yeah they do. You can see the Alien body "melt" away near the end of the official Predator gameplay they released today.

It was the same with the last two AvP games...

It really bugs me, I don't know why so many games have corpse removal in single-player. Disabling corpse removal with mods had barely any performance impact on Doom 3. Yet it added so much to the game - much more satisfying to be able to gloat over your kills, and if you had to backtrack through the level, the strewn corpses gave you a better idea of where you are.

If they'd at least keep all that balancing out of the single player, so there'd be at least one place where I can feel and play like a proper Predator. Then there's the minimal weapon options and changing the combistick to being throwable only and the Net nowhere to be found at all.

Imagine the combistick as a melee weapon under the current system. It would render the Aliens redundant entirely.

I thought the same thing.  I did like the stealth kill that the Predator muffles a guy, looks at his blades and shoves them in the guy. They got the look of the guy's face perfect, he looks angerly at the Pred, winces, then glances at the blades and dies. I would like to see it in normal spectrum though.

Indeed, there is nothing more satisfying, than to enact a stealthy kill of absolute badassery on a highly unsuspecting, shocked, soiled-pants, marine. Lol.

However I loved the ending kill:

Marine: "On my way!"

So, do we have an idea of what happened during the Marine footage ?
When he has the flame thrower and they get attacked by a Xeno. He's trying to fry it, but he doesn't quite get it, does he ? Then the Alien gets close to the other Marine and explodes.
What I'm wondering :
Did the player actually reach the Alien with the flames, but it didn't catch on fire for some reason ?
Was the player unable to reach the Xeno before, and when he finally did, the flames caused it to blow up ?
Was the reason why the Xeno blew up related to something else ? Maybe something the other player did (like firing a grenade from close range) ?

I hope it's the latter and the flames can actually set people on fire. 
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: Drone23 on Jan 28, 2010, 07:19:21 AM
 Looks like the flamethrower finally caught up and blew the Alien up, he should have been aiming in front of it not behind it.

In the new AvP multiplayer interview from 3:16-3:18= pure gold, it shows a marine get decapitated by a Alien from the Marines view, and you see his head roll on the ground, pure gold..

Yeah, that's what I'm starting to think too, cause I remember seeing a screenshot with a Xeno caught on fire from the flamethrower ... since it didn't happen in this short footage, I think it's safe to say the player couldn't actually touch it.

yeah, as long as it's not mixed species, TDM is better.    ;D

Yeah this game must come with no respawns rule for all TDM variants.

Yeah no respawns really turns it into a whole different and deeper game in multiplayer! People will play more smart to survive and protect their only life. And in team based modes the better survivors would cooperate and communicate with each other better.

Yeah it reminds me of the good Rainbow Six Vegas days when we would play team survival (no respawns) and it just felt more profressional, intense (with the tension and fear of being seen first.)

if AVP has option to turn off respawns rules for Team species deathmatch, and even deathmatch, that would totally take it up to a whole hardcore level. Yeah I know some modes like Infestation and Predator Hunt wouldn't work with respawns off, but overall TSDM, TDM and DM should have no respawns option for more hardcore survivors. even Uncharted 2 had a team based mode dedicated to no respawns (called Elimination.) Timesplitters games had that too but Elimination in Timesplitters FP didn't have a team based version.) It works better offering the option within the existing DM variants instead of making a different mode for it.

This will be triple times more intense with 3 teams in AVP, because in like TSDM there would be like 3 teams of 6 each and surviving without depending on respawns would make people better teammates and better players too. TeamSpeciesDeathmatch with no respawns would be just as addicting like Survivor mode will be.

It would be ultimate true species survival!!!

yeah no respawns options is a must naturally.  but yeah it definitely should be an option so the mode has something for both types of players.


in AVP1 there was only respawns rules (I think.  wait was there?  man it's been a while but hey it's been 10 years since I played that on PC using MPlayer.)   No wait I think there was an option to see how many respawns each player had or something.  Aaaah I dunno someone who still plays it online would know.

This isn't Mirror's Edge.   Momentum would kill the balance because people will start complaining they
move and accelerate like a tank.     It would also reduce the chances of avoiding a stealth kill, and
make going around a corner to use the wall as cover useless since they are more likely to get eliminated
before their momentum reaches a good speed.

There is more "action" in that video than in those video clips we have seen
of this AvP(3)... But it doesn't really look that fast... AvP(1) was certainly
a lot faster than that... (Even this AvP(3) still seems about same or even
faster... as far as character movemet speed is concerted that is...)

later in the video Dave lays down the gauntlet and tells the viewer a good thing or two about balance
and good points why people should play AVP multiplayer instead of other games.

I really hope Affinity is right... as he said, that would take the game to a whole new level, strange really how such a small thing can effect such a large part of the MP experience, let respawns be optional..

The demo/interview from the first alien level looked really good aswell, words just cant describe how psyched Iam for this game.

But it's a good guess to say that it won't be a skin.

Unlike the Praetorian, the Predalien is significantly larger than other Aliens. In AvP'99, the Praetorian wasn't much larger than other Aliens, it just had a large crest and was more formidable.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: WeaN on Jan 30, 2010, 03:44:09 AM
I wish people would read the threads a little more.
It's common sense already they wouldn't have to remain faithful to the size of the thing for MP ... I remember someone mentionning the example of Raam in Gears of War, too. Which was a good example.
They have to keep all the characters the same size for MP, but that doesn't mean they can't use their basic look.
Beside, we already saw a MP Praetorian model, and it was the same size as any common Alien. Why couldn't the Predalien be so too ?
There are even more reasons to believe it's gonna be a MP skin since it's gonna play a part in SP. Mark my words.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread
Post by: MadassAlex on Jan 30, 2010, 03:57:24 AM
As I pointed out, Rebellion's interpretation of the Praetorian isn't significantly larger than other Aliens.
Title: Re: The Official Video Thread

Not significantly bigger still means bigger than a common Alien.

We know there are 6 skins for each species, minus bonus skins (the '#6' skin). So there is one we don't know about yet. Personally I'm hoping for a proper Giger Alien 1 model rather than the PredAlien.

Looking at the achievement spoilers, I believe they'll be referring to the PredAlien as the Abomination in the campaign.

Grid was the name of the "main" alien in the god awful avp film after a pred used his net gun on him and it left a scar....of the net.

runner and dog alien is the alien from alien3....so yes it is the samething :P

You really believe it will ship with more?
Cause based on the small amount of maps were getting I seriously doubt they will have more skins than that. Maybe more in a skin pack of DLC at some point, but the aliens have less potential for skins than the marines or the predators.

The brief description seems to imply that all 3 campaigns will be demonstrated, which means that interesting new gameplay footage could be uncovered from this stream! Definately something interesting to keep us occupied until Thursdays demo.

Just click that link at 5PM tommorow (2nd) and the embedded live feed will start.

The queen is not a mutant, she is just scarred and disfigured from many centuries of abuse.  Also I think she looks that color because of the lighting.  She looks black in another part of the video.

I wasn't suggesting she was a mutant, but that alien they show in the beginning of the vid is definitely something we haven't seen yet.
As for the Queen...from what I remember there wasn't any fire or anything around to alter the light. It looks to me like she has been released and that's just her color. I do hope that it is just lighting tho...as she looks rather odd in that color.

Or perhaps their rather unsettling appearance serves as a psychological weapon against any possible assailants? But who could really focus on working at WY when those things go around the facility muttering "the term 88c of your contract has come into effect" to people and then dragging them away, never to be seen again? Their faces look kinda melted to me.

According to what I've been lately reading on here .. I'm curious on how scary those synthetics do look.

you get a glimps of them in this vid:
http://g4tv.com/videos/44028/Aliens-vs-Predator-Alien-Gameplay-Preview/
they look like there skin is disolving, infact.. this game is set after Alien 3, so why would the synthetics look less human??.. :-\

Perhaps because they have skin re-enforcement more resistant than human flesh.
They seems to be combat synthetic, not the one we're used to see as scientist officer in ALIEN.

The combat synthetics in AvP2 looked human so why not the ones in this?

 The Synths are at 3:45 of the Alien gameplay interview with G4, they do look crazy, but in a cool way, we never got to see what the synths in Alien3 looked like, if they even were synths, but I guess we know now.

P.s notice the "W" for Wayland symbol in the Synths eye.

Probably because they don't need to be. :)

Seems like their function is to act primarily as weapon emplacements. Still, they should have just made some combat-specific armoured mechanoids for that, bristling with turrets. A lot more practical, really.

The Gamenight w/ AVP vids from 1up.com  are up on the their site. Regarding the synthetics........it showed an alien rip their face off and thats why they look like that. They have normal face's but I guess when you stealth kill'em you rip their face off first. Dont take my word for it watch the vids if you didnt catch it live.

You know how the controller looks, you know which button does what, you know you can block light attack and perform counter attack after...not to mention we've seen how it works in all the footage. It's just another trailer. You will learn the combat tactics yourself and from your own experience.

Hopefully it's only like that for the pistol... because any other weapon, you should use the weapon itself to parry the attack.  That's how we were trained to do so at least.

The Marine should parry with his weapons, and not his unprotected wrists. Then again, it's similar ith the Alien. Sure, they are tough, but even they shouldn't be able to block a Predator blade without losing their hands. But oh well, it's just a game.

Why would Aliens (or any creature) explode in vaccuum. ::)

... you honestly don't know anything about (air) pressure? If you bring a deep-sea creature up, it explodes due to the change in pressure. It needs the pressure to stay whole. The same thing happens to a human in space. In the near-vacuum of the void, your body will be torn apart. Like a vacuum cleaner sucking up dust, except you are sucked at from all directions with incredible strength. Space suits, worn by astronauts, are specifically designed to prevent that.

Aliens, however, are apparently so tough that they don't need a suit.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not sure whether you would actually explode. At the very least your lungs will be flattened, your eardrums will shatter and bring on massive internal hemorrhaging.

It's called focus jump. Focus your enemy, click light attack and you'll pounce at them as you've seen at 2:02. ;)

Ouuu, new status.  Good birthday pressie!

The pictures hanging off my monitor are from a calendar I had a couple of years ago.  Pretty much everyone on the team has a couple lurking around, all painted pictures of pinups from the 50's.  Keeps me happy :)

Her texture is odd.  Looks scarred, but everywhere.  I think it was the orange emergency lights that are making her look brown.

Watch the free the Queen video again, and pause it at about 1:00.
I see no lights that would make her appear that color.
I honestly think they just wanted her to look that way.
I'm not saying its bad...just a bit unusual.

Well obviously they're corporate/W.Y. synthetics like from AVP 2. They want the aliens at any cost like in the movies and will stop anybody from getting in their way including marines. So there you go.

 I would of had them work on the balancing far more then tweaking small issues like that which do not effect game play in the slightest, they worked very hard to get the game where it is now and in my opinion have made the best AvP game to date.

That small little graphic effect was not top priority when making this game, it would have been nice but eh, the sequel is where they can touch up on all these things..

They created a completely new engine for this game instead of using an existing engine like UR's, now that it's solid, they can tweak it however they want and are not restricted by time issues, so maybe in the future, maybe in the sequel.

Agreed, I've seen a few pre-recorded live feeds that have been up since Friday or Thursday I skipped over anything majorly spoilerific but what I did catch was absolutely brilliant. Marine campaign looks amazing, Predator campaign looks awesome, and the Alien campaign looks to be alright(much like the previous games).

Its gonna be a kickass game for sure, I was a little dissapointed of the alien's Sp length but other than that, just a solid looking game. Marine and pred campaigns are probably gonna be my favorite's overall.


EDIT: First SURVIVOR GAMEPLAY 9min. (nothing really spoilerific) its one guy by himself.

QuoteAI was effective in AvP2 because there were absolutely no stealth mechanics.
Not really an excuse because it is implemented so poorly...  There is no reason for the AI to forget about you mid engagement, or not be able to hear the Xenomorph jumping up and down directly behind them, or worse on their head lol.  If I HA an AI, then step back...they should have enough sense to turn around rather than pretending like nothing happened.

I have had on multiple occasions a USCM follow me to my destination while shooting, even shooting me as he advances, the AI may be programmed the same, but the USCM are much more aggressive then the civilians, and will charge in guns blazing at times.

If you look closely after "going to war" shows up on screen you'll notice 3 marines slowly walking down a corridor away from a barricade.the smartgunner's gun looks like it has multiple barrels. Is it just me or does is that a minigun model? It'd further explain why the smartgun sounds like one.

It was actually a Predator MP montage. And wasn't trying to look pro, just showing off nice moments. That's why I also kept some deaths as long as they weren't cheap.

Don't do something you don't like, even if it's effective. I think the pounce attack of the Pred is lame :x

And the real joy of Predator Hunt is not how many kills you can get as Pred. I find it more amusing and challenging to hunt the Pred as Marine :)

why is it when someone posts a vid of themselves doing pretty well everyone else puts them down and says things like he isn't skilled at all and it was all luck, the players he was against were rubbish too. I mean OGscottland's vid was cut together and he was using disc alot, but we dont know if it was luck or not and to get a triple kill with disc is pretty good and i dont think its luck cos the disc is hard to control well atleast for me, but seriously why do people on this forum always put people down? its pathetic, people should just learn to grow up.

Nicely done! Was wondering when someone would manage to silence the "you can't knock down a pred" debate.

Thanks.  :)

I'm just rendering a multiplayer gameplay video where i play as a marine.
20 minutes on temple.

At first we were only 1 marine, 1 predator, 1 alien, but later other players joined.
I'm going to edit this post later, when the videos (2 videos, youtube just allows 10 min.) are uploaded. (1,2 GB this'll take a while)

//edit

Upload didn't work.  :-\
I guess there won't be a gameplay video.

I knew it was possible, but damn..I didn't realize it was THAT flippin easy Kane! Gees, I thought it took at least 3 marines to be down a pred in like 3 to 4 melee hits each.. Lol cause me and some clan mates in our server were melee-ing preds and aliens to death for kicks one day and we noticed the preds we were doing it to got knocked down. Thanks for that vid! :)

Yeah it was then when i looked up in the left corner of the screen and saw fraps running with red numbers (meaning it's recording). Also not just knocking down the pred, but killing it with the pistol only. That called for victory jumps.  :D

And I still dont know when exactly the preds going to fall down. 
I played roughly an hour to make that 28 second video and sometimes i got into melee with them, i counter heavy attack, block light attack then counter them but they wouldn't fall. I think it has something to do with the amount of damage they take in a certain time, but i'm not sure.

Anyways, you're all welcome. ;)

Oh and i reduced the resolution of my gameplay video so it would be faster to upload.
9 minutes until the first part is ready, then another 21 minutes for the second part.

So today, in a few minutes, unlike yesterday there's going to be a gameplay video.
I hope you guys will enjoy it, even though the quality is not the best.   ;D

_____________________________

Youtube is still processing the video, so the quality should improve when youtube's done.
I recommend you dont watch this in fullscreen or else it'll be too blurry.

well the only difference is that it is an up down motion instead of down up, but in AVP i guess teabagging is impossible anyway so why not!!.

EU's PSN sucks, can you believe we only just got Secret of MI:SE in the most recent store update, about 2 days ago!! and i have a US account, because there is so much extra free stuff (themes and wallpapers mostly) on the US PSN that we don't have in EU.

actually, no the lighting and shadows and detail in the environment aren't as good as the 360's 1080p and you do get more screen tears which are kind of single horizontal lines that ripple up your screen more on the 720p PS3 version but, screen tears only happen when you move the camera around, happens often but not alot and the detail is still really good and clear and pixel and blotch free. Idk why Sony had to make it 720p though when it is 1080p on 360 and the PS3 is more than capable of 1080p res settings. Stupid lazy Sony *sighs*

I think the predalien decapitates you judging by the way it grabs & shakes the camera around, but it's hard to tell.

I still don't understand why it takes trophies. That was a bad idea in AvP-R, & it still doesn't make sense in the game.
