Fox Digital Entertainment and Angry Mob Games have released a new trailer and collection of images for their upcoming mobile title Alien Vs. Predator: Evolution.

“On a distant planet, the blood feud between Predator clans continues to rage. In a final attempt to eradicate the Jungle Hunter Clan, the Super Predators secure the capabilities of an unlikely and unwilling species, the Aliens. As an Alien, you must ultimately destroy the Super Predators and free your species from enslavement. As a Jungle Hunter Predator, you must eliminate the Alien Queen in order to prevent the Super Predators from annihilating your clan.“

This game looks AWESOME, definitely an improvement to the great Predators game this team has made; though the Alien swarming tactics are old and annoying.

Looks like the BSPs might be boss battles.

Looks like fun

Is Weyland?  ???

I want this when will it be out does anyone know the release date?

It is nice to see the BSPs once more integrated into the actual plot of the AVP universe; I was half expecting to see them only in Predator 4 and any possible Predator sequels, this is a welcome surprise.

I think it's due out in March.

BSPs?! In my AvP?! Hell no!

Gotta admit though, the game looks fun.

I'd have to disagree with you there.

As far as I am aware, Rodriguez didn't want PREDATORS to be part of the AvP universe. The BSPs really have no place there. This is probably something of stand alone game rather than something which could be considered a part of overall AvP continuity.

Remember how Gearbox said they weren't allowed to have combat androids?

Guess that doesn't apply to AvP games.

Good. A:CM gets a bonus just for that. I hate combat droids. Especially in AVP 2010, they were annoying as Hell.

Well, I like the fact that the BSPs are here cause it reminds us that the BSPs are a canon part of the universe, not something that can simply be tucked away in 1 small category; but I guess that's why you might hate it. :(

If you want to get into a continuity and canon debate, PM me a message. Be it on here or on PSN. I would be more than happy to discuss it with you but this is a discussion about the game.

However, I wouldn't consider this game to be canon with the AvP Universe. Don't get me wrong PredXeno, I agree with you that a lot of the EU is canon and all of that but I also follow the Word of God trope too. So in this case... I just have to disagree with you.

But as for me playing the game... Yeah, I'd play it. I just have to get an IPhone or a Pad.

-Rakai'Thwei

Sorry, didn't mean to start another one of those canon arguments; just wanted to tell why I'm glad the BSPs are in this game, but that I also understand why you're less than thrilled about it.

This looks really cool. Also the storyline is intriguing from what we know.

Maybe in video games, but that doesn't seem to be the case in comics.  Or some games for that matter.

Actually, I think those were regular androids; I think combat synths are specially designed somehow for warfare, that's probably why they can still walk with their heads shot off while normal androids can't.

There are two different kinds of combat synthetics.

I know the ones in Aliens vs Predator 3 were hinted to be made from corpses from the human staff of BG-386. The Audio Journals even mention that numerous staff members were missing and somehow more combat androids seemed to show up right when said staff members turned up missing. One staff member claimed that he saw one missing staff member being turned into a combat android.

-Rakai'Thwei

Just saw this trailer like a minute or two ago, and it completely destroyed my low expectations. That was actually pretty cool.

This game looks awesome! Sad I missed the sign up for the beta.

Super glad the stuff from Predators is being incorporated into the larger AvP franchise, though a bit disappointed it looks that the Pred Hounds are going to be something associated with just the Super Preds instead of the the Preds in general.

I also remember some conversations from the game indicating that it was against the law for combat synths to look too human and that they had to be recognizably synthetic from a distance if they were combat synths.

In which audio files did you guys hear about all this? I've collected all of them and don't remember any of this stuff. ??? ??? ???

Given that they're using a bunch of stuff from Predators in the game, does anyone know if there's any Prometheus inspired elements incorporated as well?

The combat synths not looking human conversation is between characters and is not an audio log. I believe that it occurs during one of the Marine campaign levels when you first run into combat synths.

Prometheus would work better in the AvP universe than Predators but... What I said about PREDATORS kind of applies to Prometheus in some small way.

Aliens Book 1 had combat androids as a major plot point.  Then they pop up again in Stronghold.

And Ash was doing okay against Parker with no head.

As I recall those combat androids specifically couldn't harm humans - I remember the Perry novel mentioning the First Law of Robotics, and that having androids violate that was mega-illegal. So having combat androids shooting Aliens is totally cool, it's once you have them shooting at humans (like in AvP2010) that it becomes a Big Deal.
Incidentally I know you fought combat androids in AvP2 as the Predator and Alien, but I can't recall if you fought any in the Marine campaign. I think you did, but I'm not sure.

Forgetting all the multiplayer problems, the single-player just felt repetitive and the plot was rather unmotivated.

Oh right, I forgot about Book 1; but as for Ash, I assumed that the remaining cables that attached his head to his body operated to some capacity.

How much is this gonna cost? Can I get an estimate? Anyway this looks real cool for a mobile game.

I estimate $5 max, that's about how much Predators was when it came out, right?

I think I paid $7 or $8 for Predators when it first came out.

Ok maybe that, I only recently got an iPod to play that game on.

$7.99 but now it's dropped down to $1.99. Either way I'd pay that much for this game looks great.

I would gladly pay more really. Part of the reason so many game studios are closing shop lately is the struggle to make a profit. If there were a way I could pay a company more than market price for a game I like, I totally would.

I'd just prefer it been on a platform with trophies and achievements with possible online play, I can't see an App having all the qualities that I'd love to see in an AVP RPG, Real time strategy or any type of game.

Predators on iPod had achievements.

I've played that, that's partly the reason why I don't want it to be an App. I find the Requiem game for PSP more enjoyable than Predators.

Really?  I found AVPR kind repetitive, especially after you get the combistick.

How about a game where WY and the marines have stolen the Aliens eggs...

I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised by AvP Evolution, if you're using the 'Predators' game as your baseline. :)

The AvP PC games. While it's a sprite-based top-down thing, the two campaigns are as an alien making your way through a Marine facility where they've got your queen, featuring various castes of aliens including praetorians, and as a Pred making your way through the same base, trying to get to the queen to take her out. It's quite fun, if a bit short.

I've been pleasantly surprised with the games being put out by big developers on phones over the last half decade. The Dead Space game is equivalent to a PS1-era horror game. SEGA's been putting Sonic 4 on mobile. Rayman Origins got a mobile port. there's a Mass Effect title. Square-Enix has put out three full ps2-level jrpgs in the Chaos Ring series, as well as porting a bunch of Final Fantasy games to mobile. Kojima even made a mobile full 3d with active camo system Metal Gear title that takes place between MGS1 and 2. And that's not even taking into account all of the really high-quality knock-off games that Gameloft brings to the table that faithfully capture the graphics and feel of such titles as Zelda, Halo, Assassin's Creed (not to mention their actual Assassin's Creed games), God of War, World of Warcraft, LoL, Final Fantasy X, Red Dead Redemption, GTA, Serious Sam, Forza, Spider-Man, Arkham City, and tons more.

The point I'm trying to make is that I don't think you're giving the platform enough credit.

Wow. It's looking really good.

Still need to finish off Predators!

Which level are you on?

The one with all the Super Predators.

You mean Mission 28: Tusk and Talons?  Yeah, I hated that level so much and unfortunately if you think that's bad then you are going to hate Mr. Black.  I still don't know how it is I managed to earn the Invincible achievement (Don't Die Once in a Campaign); it seems awesome that I did looking back tho. ;D  If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. :)

I suppose, it just takes some getting used to is all; first time playing that level, I got skinned like an animal. :D
