For everyone who has a xbox 360 with internet connection will be glad to here there is a preview with the developers on xbox live. The video interview shows 2 new images from the game and all the others we have seen before. Also they talk about what they are doing with all 3 races.
The man cannot stop saying how they are using the original movies for reference. Which is nice to hear!
ops, I was playing pc Grid online.
Switching now to xbox. Thanks for the info dude.

No you dont, my Gold subscription ran out yesterday and I could still watch it. Just flick through each of the slidey things and you'll find it.
As for the report itself, it looks good, I especially like the render of the anim where the Predator grabs and Alien by the throat, lifts him off the ground and stabs him ;D
I don,t see It listed.
Perhaps It gotta be updated here
It's a UK thing, I assume. OXM UK reported it: http://www.oxm.co.uk/article.php?id=10225
Looks like there's a new magazine article too.
I will check it now.
I liked it. I just hope Aliens vs Predator 3 doesn't become a noob predator fanboy game like the AVP movies >:(.
I saw this yesterday while playing on live. they don't really say anything new but I did see a couple new images. I was a little annoyed when the rebellion guy said the predator was a "good guy" It gave me nightmare flashbacks of the BS talking shit.

I don,t see that coming but I have to admit that best campaign is always as predator.
Predators are heroes ;D
Predators are anti-heroes. They're not remorseless like the Aliens, but they're not heroes, either.
Though only time I will accept a Predator letting a human help them is if they NEED TO get a job done and they KNOW they will die if they don't have help. I do not have a problem with Predators NOT killing people but only if there is NO reason TO kill them. But the video did have about three new screens. And some of the screen we already have seen were enhanced and at higher resolution.
So is this like one of those "insider moves" videos? I couldn't find it either on my xbox. Too bad.
EDIT: Nvm, it's up now....
Hey, wolf was a true heroe :)
The first one was the ant-ihero

I think the alien on is. Predators are so human. But Aliens are so......alien ::).
Thats crap i cant watch it cause my 360 Elite got the ring of death recently. f**k! perhaps someone can make a recording of it <3
I can't see it?
Is it xbox live australia or xbox live america? Cause the experience are apprently completely different.
America gets movies and tv shows to d/l off live, australia gets stuff alls, we get crappy demos, old game videos and only major add on's

Nice! any new screens?
the next issue of the aus OXM is out in 2 days with a preview also for avp (3)
Why would it have new screens when it's last month's issue, as already featured in the sticky thread.
The Livegig is UK only or can I download it in the Netherlands aswell?
You'll know if it's in the "Spotlight" tab.
Will look into it :)
I'll be home tonight so I'll watch and transcribe them if I'm conscious enough.
It only had about 3 new screens. And a bunch of info we already know and since the new article looks like its going to be focused on Xenomorphs that makes me happy.
What new article?
It's same article as the US one. Only a few new screens. Someone brought it at work. But you wont get a write up of interview tonight. Too tired. Ill try tomorrow.

This covers cool but I like the Predator one more.
Mighty Steve - Hello and welcome to the Official Xbox 360 magazine OXM report. I'm here in the plush boardroom of Rebellion HQ with the CEO Jason Kingsly and he's going to tell me a little about erm Aliens vs Predator. So yeah, tell me a little about the game.
Jason Kingsly - Well that's it. That's the question. It's a huge game to summarize in a few sentences. Erm...well obviously Rebellion are well known for the Atari Jaguar version a long long time ago and the subsequent PC version in 1999, I think it was. We're excited to be working with Sega and Fox on the sequel. Or a re-imagining really 'cause we're not necessarily thinking of it as a sequel. We're thinking of it as a "what would we have done had we had had the machines back in those days that we can do now". We don't know yet but we hope it's going to be a massive success.
MS - This must pretty much be the dream license for you guys...
JK - It is but it's also slightly terrifying in that can we do it a third time? You know, can we really make a great game a third time. I mean, we're determined to do that and we're pulling out all the stops to try and achieve it. Er...I guess time will tell and so far it's looking bloody great.
MS - Obviously the series has a rich pedigree. What are you looking to bring over from the classic AvP games.
JK - All the good bits [laughs] is basically that and then add to them. So for example playing the Alien I think it's absolutely essentially that and it has been right from the very beginning that you can walk on walls and the ceilings and geometry and the landscape becomes very much part of the gameplay for the alien player as it was in the original. The Predator, obviously we're trying to recapture, go back to the original movies and recapture what the Predator was with the way the Predator maneuvers around the landscape which is also quite exciting. We couldn't do in the originals at all, we just didn't have the computing horsepower but now we do. And of course the marines. The marines gotta be great. There are some brilliant shooters out there that quite frankly rip-off the marines, in fact most of them probably rip off the original movie so we gotta go a little bit further with that.
MS - Is it a challenge to balance three completely different characters?
JK - It's a complete nightmare [laughs] I mean, let's face it that the Predator really is the big guy, he's the one with all the high-tech weaponry and all the abilities and er and all that kind of attitude and scale. The marines are kinda stuck in the hard place and the alien itself is kinda, not a mindless killer, but it is the weapon. The alien is the weapon itself so yes it's a complete nightmare. I mean, going back to the days of the original what we tried to do was make it so that everything, for example multiplayer, players could score things the way they wanted to and that's something that I think is really important, that we try to recapture so that each are kinda building on their own strengths and hopefully hold a paper, scissor, stone philosophy so that there's no one perfect solution to every situation.
MS - So the trophies kills are quite violent. Is that the nastiest thing in the game or do you have any more grizzly surprises for us?
JK - [laughs] The trophy kills are big big debate. This is obviously a game based on adult rated movies and we want to make sure that it's very clearly an adult rated game. It's an issue for me - computer games are not for kids. Some computer games are for kids. We're not making a computer game here for anything other than adults. I think, hopefully, the marketing, will make that very clear. It'll have a big red "18" on front of the box so I don't want anybody complaining that a 12 year old is playing the game when they shouldn't have got hold of it so that's very clear. Within that context I think that violence is part of the character and the world. We're talking about fantasy worlds here, about fantasy creatures and we're talking about trying to umm build up a mythos and yeah... It's pretty..I remember the first time I saw it, particularly one of the predator kills and everyone went "ooohhh" [laughs]
MS - That was pretty much my reaction as well...
JK - Umm...it is what the Predator does in the movies. It's implied in the movies. You see skinned corpses in the movies. Yeah, it's a challenge not to make it too gratuitous or over the top and give it a reason for being there. No every kill...It's not going to be an easy thing to achieve. You know, you do not need to do it every time but I think that's errr part of the Predator character, the mythos.
Here ya go. Annoy any poor grammar as it was quite a tedious task and I can't really be arsed to go over it. :P
I like the attitude of Rebellion towards this game a lot, also, read this:
[quote Or a re-imagining really 'cause we're not necessarily thinking of it as a sequel. We're thinking of it as a "what would we have done had we had had the...[/quote]they don,t even consider avp2 as the sequel, and I love that ;D
Also, the two new screenshots someone? :)
Seen, like the interview to an extend, would love to go more in depth myself...
Can't view it on XBL btw... :(
Is there no way to put this online somewhere or to take screencaps?
Corporal Hicks just typed it up...

I can probably manage a shitty quality video by holding my cam and mic up to the screen if everyone wants?
Here's a link to the vid.

Great, thanks. You could just put camera on something, but that is good enough for me.
still don,t see the video anywhere around..., must be english people exclusive or something like that. >:(

I do remember that there were no subtitles or anything like that so it was meant probably for English speaking players.

Eh that turned out to be more of a pain in the ass then just holding the thing.
Would've looked better if you can manage to underexpose the vid I guess, but it was nice to see.
Nice job.
I'm a little nervous the Pred my be over powered though.
Thanks for the footage. Was good to view it.
It's available in the U.S. also.
Just watched it last night.

No worries knew several members only have PS3's or played on the PC and would want to see it.
looks boss cant wait to see some of the predator trophy kills
thats if it doesnt get cut from the game, you know the world now days, they can have movies like saw but ban manhunt2, so silly.
that isnt any more gory than RE5. it will not get cut. it'll get an M rating and that's that.
I dunno man... Eyes rolling around and gasping for a last breath is pretty hardcore gore... That kind of realism maybe SHOULD get cut...
Everything else, okay. Except for the whole spine ripping out too thing. Your spine isn't really all that attached to your skull.
I personally would prefer if the head was not facing me after it was removed from the body...
QuoteI dunno man... Eyes rolling around and gasping for a last breath is pretty hardcore gore... That kind of realism maybe SHOULD get cut...
I,d rather like It to be in there for laughing purposes.
Don,t tell me this is not going to be the most laughable human player raping ever.
I don't know, I think the head-ripping animation- as they describe it- might be too much, even for most adults. The last thing we want this to turn into is AvP Requiem, with cheap gore that has no purpose other than to disgust people. The two real Predator films don't have that kind of extreme gore in them. I don't think there's a need to get more violent than the two previous AvP games.
aw cmon head/spine ripping isn't too extreme. Sub-Zero does it all the time.
True... but you don't watch a humans face in as it's brain slowly starts to shut off in Mortal Kombat. And pulling on the head ripping the spine out also is just physiologically impossible. The spine isn't even really connected to your head. Your head kind of rests on it, with the spine going slightly into the skull. It's far more connected to the ribs, than to your skull, thus anchoring it in your body.
Spin ripping is ok for me. Blood exploding in your face is a no no. I do not like that. I do not want Gears of War 2 style gore or AvP2 style gore. I do not want blood EVERYWHERE I do not want exploding bodies with a pool of blood exploding with them. Its just sickening. I want an equivalent of gore that we see in the original four films: ALIEN, ALIENS, PREDATOR and PREDATOR 2. Which means we can have bodies split apart, limbs cut off, spines ripped out and head punctured by Xeno jaws. But no Final Destination exploding body bags with ketchup stuff.
For me, the spine thing is less about the gore, and more about It's not physically possible to rip someone's spin out by their head. You'll just pull the head off of the spine.
ah whatever as long as it doesn't cause lag or glitchy slowdown.
