First Aliens vs. Predator shots found in Euro mags

AvP2 had some kick ass multiplayer. Dropping down from the ceiling on other people as an alien was awesome.

I just laughed for 5 minutes at that pic

AvP2 and Return to castle wolfenstein were the games that got me into online shooters. Counter-Strike was never anything for me.

Aliens vs. Predator is not why we'll be buying Nuts Magazine.

The last movie was sooo bad. I was hoping for so bad its good kinda movie, but no.

Lets hope the game is good, because on paper it seems kinda hard to screw up.

Man I play the first AVP and it was neat, I liked the predators weapons

The June issue of OXM just showed up at my house and guess what is on the cover. Yep AVP

That is such a cute kitty....

Oh, were we talking about video games?

This game looks extremely promising. Makes me sad that Aliens: Colonial Marines and the RPG will probably never see the light of day even more though :(

I got an idea for a game. It's called Illegal Alien v. Sexual Predator. Anyone wanna finance me?

Lol....

The Official Xbox Magazine that I just got out of my mailbox yesterday morning had a 3 - 4 page story on AVP, and had images and what not...

So I think you guys missed the ball on this one...

Oh well. :)

First...
YAY.

Secondly, I can't wait to be a cloaked Predator, hunting Arnie in the jungle. Since that's not yet come to pass, I'll play this over and over again.

It's a crying shame it'll be a console exclusive; the legion of fans the previous two PC games has garnered has been eagerly waiting years for another title in the series to come along (especially since the second was nothing short of mind numbing awesomeness for when it came out). Come on, Sega, don't hold out on us.

Hope they take off that excess noise effect.

lol, I think that's just the print quality. I'd like the option for that noise effect. Gives a cinematic quality to it like Mass Effect.

I liked the multiplayer in the first AVP...there was a horde-like mode where you start at a crashed ship and make your way through a cavern to a little shack in a big crater.

oh man, AvP2 was one of my all time favorite deathmatch experiences!

I loved being an alien, especially face-hugger mode. Man, those marines never knew what hit them.

The best was seeing the marines all huddling back-to-back trying to fight the lunging horde. Freaking SWEET.

This should come to PC as the first two were PC masterpieces.

Some favorite moments:

1. Being a Marine, getting scared shitless because the motion sensor is going off, then realizing it's just a rope swinging in the wind.
2. Immediately getting killed from behind while inspecting said rope.
3. Playing as a Facehugger, infecting someone, then EATING YOUR WAY OUT OF THEIR CHEST WHILE THEY SCREAM IN PAIN to go to the next stage.
4. Multiplayer in AVP2 with Queen Mode and armored suits active.
5. The Smartgun. 'nuff said.

This game's hype just went off the charts for me!!!

superkyle,

I think it's quite unfair to blame Fincher for how Alien 3 turned out for the following reason: Fox was, on an almost daily basis, making substantial changes to the plot of the film as well as its setting. Did you know the film was originally supposed to take place on a giant space station populated by monks that, were more or less, futuristic Buddhists? And that Hicks was supposed to have been one of the lead characters? When Fincher started expressing resistance to their constant meddling, they delivered an ultimatum that basically said, "Either you play ball with us on this or we're going to kick your ass to the curb in favor of someone who will." Hell, the studio even screwed him when the film went into editing; they made substantial cuts to the movie, eliminating some extremely interesting sub-plots and changing how the audience perceived certain characters entirely. Remember the inmate who kept rambling on about a "dragon" after his partner gets killed, right before Ripley's doctor love interest meets his end? You think he's just a simpleton scared completely out of his mind, right? In the extended cut, he's revealed to be bat shit crazy and actually starts worshiping the alien as some sort of deity. The inmates actually succeeded in trapping the alien in this version, but he releases it.

Even the origin of the alien itself is changed; in the theatrical release, it's a dog. In the extended version, it gestated in one of the oxen used to pull the EEV Ripley crashed in. The facehugger was different. In the theatrical version, it looks like a normal parasitic critter; in the extended version, an inmate finds this:
http://aliens.wikia.com/wiki/Queen_Facehugger
It was A) quite a bit bigger than its common brethren, B) black, and C) had webbing between the legs. It much better explained the twin alien infections since it was, obviously, something special.

Considering what he had to work with given the studio's constant meddling and total lack of support, Fincher's movie turned out to be quite good for what it was. But, he'll never work with Fox again and is probably the movie's most venomous critic to date. That should tell you something about the environment he was stuck working in.

Wow, awesome. I didnt expect this game to be real or at least not make it the way you guys described it in the podcast

Nuts magazine? Nuts magazine?!?

Why on earth would a developer give an exclusive to a magazine which only dedicates half a page of space to games per issue, when there are literally dozens of gaming magazines which are far better, and more widely read by gamers?

That makes no sense at all!

This is all well and good, but does anyone else miss Alien Vs Predator the arcade game by Capcom?

TMNT/Final Fight type 4 player game with; 2 types of Predators, a marine with a robotic/gun arm and an ninja girl who could throw a short ranged fireball...

good times ...
