As the clip of gameplay is sneakily embedded within an interview during the show, we've got no standalone clip to offer after the jump, but instead a suggestion to click right here to check out the thing for yourself. Be sure to rush right back and check out the full gallery of stills from gameplay just below in all their unmoving glory!

It's a shame predator never fixed himself a vision mode to detect both aliens and humans at the same time. Of course this would make the hunt easier and we all wouldn't want that. Game looks pretty damn sick! Will def keep my eye on it.

Wow the E3 is next week and we get news every 30 minutes,
NaeemTHM @ May 29th 2009 1:59PM
Tell me about it. Come June 2nd I might as well hit F5 every 30 seconds.
ArchiGamer @ May 29th 2009 1:45PM
SO many news articles before E3. I can't take another bite...

man those graphics are nowhere near as impressive as the screenshots they'd released before, oh well i guess those were pretty unrealistic expectations anyway. I'm not real sure about this game, I get the feeling that playing as a predator and alien would be a lot better in third person/
Captain Planet @ May 29th 2009 2:10PM
Have faith my friend! In 4 days we'll know if it sucks hard or not.
Storm Eagle @ May 29th 2009 2:16PM
You'll noticed 3 special words at the top right of the above image....
The Dark Wayne @ May 29th 2009 2:41PM
this far along they really ought a look better
McWilly @ May 29th 2009 4:12PM
This far along? The game comes out 2010. It's not like there isn't any time left to work on it.
Ihavepants @ May 30th 2009 12:44AM
Well what's shown here is the 360 version, it is a possibility that those shots were of the PC version with higher res textures and extra post processing effects.
Not intending a flamewar, I don't care what system you own just play it and have fun with that, just care about games guys.
jsmuli2 @ May 29th 2009 2:05PM
I prefer the Jaguar version
zero2dash @ May 29th 2009 2:54PM
You can keep the Jaguar one, I'll take the first PC one. If this is anything like that, it's a must-buy for me.
zero2dash @ May 29th 2009 3:03PM
...so, yeah....Rebellion (who also made the Jaguar and both PC versions)...is making this one. Frickin' awesome! [MUST BUY]
Mazrael @ May 29th 2009 2:04PM
Is this going to have seperate campaigns? if so, I'm thinking if you play as a predator or alien, the human chatter should be garbled to because you wouldn't understand them, and have to figure out what they are doing.. maybe you 'learn' words/phrases throughout the campaign that clear up..
Think of it how if you hear foreign people talking together in they're own tongue, I used to work with indian people, they were always doing it, overtime you figure out a few things...
another note.. that Alien picture looks very basic.. I'd hope that's an early model, it looks rubbish..
The Dark Wayne @ May 29th 2009 2:14PM
the OXM article on it said that's basically what happens, you have separate campaigns, most of the story is gained through the human perspective, and as the predator you pick up scattered radio transmissions from the marines as well as simply eavesdropping from close by
Storm Eagle @ May 29th 2009 2:15PM
I love that sound it makes when the Predator switches between his viewing modes. This game looks freaking sweeeeeeet.
Captain Planet @ May 29th 2009 2:30PM
I agree, now let's get naked and roleplay. I'll be the Predator and you be the Alien, the safe word is Ripley.
:takes off mask to reveal mandibles:
Storm Eagle @ May 29th 2009 2:32PM
I always knew Captain Planet was molesting those kids!
ryan @ May 29th 2009 2:38PM
Want some...want some candy?
Captain Planet @ May 29th 2009 2:41PM
Hey, stay in character Storm Eagle...
:growls menacingly at you with mandibles fully extended:
Storm Eagle @ May 29th 2009 2:45PM
[Flaps wings menacingly at Capt Planet and flies away]
Captain Planet @ May 29th 2009 4:38PM
Pussy
Storm Eagle @ May 29th 2009 4:40PM
What are you talking about? You left the battle for like 2 hours. lol.
Captain Planet @ May 29th 2009 5:17PM
Dude, I was just cloaked.
:turns cloak off and arms crotch mounted plasma cannon:

"... we get what we get and we don't get upset."
Seriously, I just heard this phrase last week. What a weird coincidence. One of my cousins was telling me that his Mom tells him that... Where is that from?
sicsided @ May 29th 2009 2:20PM
its called aiming low and accepting your fate instead of making it.
Antagonist @ May 29th 2009 2:25PM
Isn't that one of the tenets of communism?
Storm Eagle @ May 29th 2009 2:40PM
I thought it was a Paramore song...
gordo @ May 29th 2009 2:22PM
meh.
headkicker @ May 29th 2009 2:23PM
How are we getting E3 trailers before E3?
SugarDaddy @ May 29th 2009 3:25PM
I can't be the only one who thinks that the whole Alien vs Predator universe is a giant bore. The movies sucked sooo bad, and I have zero interest in the comics.
But don't get me wrong. Predator 1 with Arnold is one of the greatest action movies of all time. "If it bleeds we can kill it."
The closest I want to get to playing Alien is being Zerg in Starcraft. Other than that, a big giant "meh" from me.
arkweld @ May 29th 2009 5:10PM
Yup. This franchise has been burned to the ground year after year by one more watered down and poorly executed cash-in movie or idea.
Another game? How many is that now? 20?
Alien was a horror film, now they make alien toys for 10 year olds. The Saturday morning cartoon, AVP cereal, Predator voice changer ... aren't far away.
Ihavepants @ May 30th 2009 12:48AM
Sugardaddy, did you play either of the two shooters for it that were on PC? If not you're just Fox News.
SugarDaddy @ May 30th 2009 11:15AM
@Ihavepants: Did you even read my comment? Why would I play games that I have zero interest in? Aliens vs Predator is a tired IP in my OPINION. I don't fault people for liking it. I just don't... at all. I gave the movies a chance, but they sucked so bad. The second was even worse than the first.
And you calling me "Fox News" for expressing my opinion on a f'n blog is pretty laughable. What does that even mean? Do you even understand why Fox News is so highly criticized? Let me enlighten you. It's because they're not news. They misreport. They pawn off opinion as fact. And they quash debate. How has me clearly expressing what I was saying as opinion compare to any of that? It's not like I said "I've never played these games, but they suck". No. I said the IP is tired and boring.
Sourcerer @ May 29th 2009 3:45PM
I was watching this trailer hoping it would be as good as i wanted it too, then I... JIZZED IN MY PANTS
Angel Mass @ May 29th 2009 4:03PM
Alien or Predator, which one yo do prefer?? In the previous games I liked Predator the most
ash808 @ May 29th 2009 6:44PM
