Latest Aliens vs. Predator trailer has disco fever

I want the name to this song.
Even though it was probably just made for the game.

I was so pumped for this game, but the little bit that I was able to play of the demo was just ok. I canceled my pre-order and will wait for the reviews to come and see if I apply my $10 gc from purchasing Bioshock 2 to this.

I played the demo, and the game has potential. But the demo did not sell me on it, and playing as the Alien is very disorienting, but the up close kills are pretty cool tho.

awsome

So is everyone here not fond of the moderately paced multiplayer demo?

Every multiplayer doesn't need to be super fast and knee jerk reflex requiring gameplay.

I 'love' the bit I've played through the demo and 'highly' anticipate the game's arrival. I just hope getting to play the Alien campaign will make me SUCK LESS at playing it in multiplayer...

the matchmaking is stupid. it takes at least 5 minutes to join a match and it doesnt even keep you in that lobby

Thanks for the interesting insight.

Five minutes? Look a hell of a lot longer than that. Might not help that I'm on PSN which never runs smoothly for me. vOv But yeah that matchmaking is really awful, I'm surprised they let that fly.

Is there really that big of a problem with matchmaking? It doesn't take me more than a minute to get into a game, I hope im not just lucky now and it turns to shit in the final product

I loved how you explained that in your first comment Bradwart.

This looks like a fun part. You got the music blazing, the lights going nuts, and all the while you have to watch out for the Aliens. Sweet.

Kind of wish the demo was about 5 or 10 mins of each playable character. The free-for-all is a nice way to get used to the controls for each species but would've preferred actual game play. All that aside, I'm looking forward to this game. Just wish it weren't coming out so soon after BioShock 2.

PS. Electronic Old Man needs to get that bug out of his ass

i liked the multiplayer demo, i think its actually better than MW 2's multiplayer - mostly because you cant noob toob (sort of) and there is no cheap upgrades, or over/under powerd guns

it's not a problem with the PSN. it's a problem in the demo. they're gonna release a patch for it soon, they already have on PC. 360 just happened to not be affected. look it up.

Just got finished playing the demo right now, I choose the alien.
And I gotta say, it's pretty damn fun.

I have been playing lots of the MP demo on both the PS3 and 360. I love it so far. The alien is my favorite character to play. Once you figure out the up close melee attacks, blocking and counter attack and when to grab, the game becomes amazingly fun. I am really looking forward to the Infestation mode. Sounds a lot like the Infection mode from Area 51 which was fun as hell.

it looks good, i wish my demo WORKED THOUGH.

Heavy Rain... I hear that it has amazing replay value.

I'll just bust out my copy on the Jaguar.

Ive played both ps3 and pc. ps3 is so hard as an alien. controls are clunky and stuff, other races are ok. on pc though it really does show with the alien that a mouse is the way to go. im so glad i preordered it for pc. i can play cod6 on console but this game requires the twitch reflexes only a mouse gives. get for pc if u can.

btw, gfx are awesome. i love the emotion of sum1 dying on the end of my mouth/tounge.

Rebellion really shouldn't have released this demo in this state. I think the game will be a huge amount better than many demo players think it is, so this demo is just shooting themselves in the foot.

No tutorial. Deathmatch (the worst mode for learning the nuance of each class, and the least fun mode for this game), no explanation of counters for special moves, no dedicated servers, etc... and apparently based on a 10 month old build too.

The demo should SELL your game, so it should show it's strong points... not hide them and focus people's attentions on it's weak points.

I hope that was "Easy Mode", those Aliens were pussies compared to their on-screen counterparts. Can you imagine what would happen to that marine in the movie? And what's with the dance club situation? I suppose it has some context in the setting/story, but without that context it's just kinda "WTF?".

The Graphics are Great, the animation of watching other people move around the enviroment (not the kill animations), just the plain walking around SUCK, and makes it feel cheap. I can't get into. YES it was fun to play, took me back in the day of play avp on pc; ALSO thought the Interface was seriously LACKING. the match finding sucked. the Frame Rate dropped just enough to get myself killed more than once (mostly because i suck at the game and thats a lame excuse); what else, the sound was average, nothing to amazing, I found the alien really hard to play as. The predator was really fun playing but didnt get to feel like a predator at any time as it was hard as hell to kill people. AND YES, Why can't We look down the sites of the gun, because pred and alien cant', i don't know. I was really and I mean REALLY wanting this game, but if they release it as is with no more than a little improvment from what is here, I don't think its worth 60$ to rehash old pc AVP game feelings. THEY NEED:
1. Better Interface
2. Faster FPS
3. Better Animations for looking at your enemies and walking (feels to much like gliding)
4. Better online match making.
5. Please change the INTERFACE of the main menu's, the HUDS are well done.
6. Better MAPS, but this is only based on playing one map, but something tells me its going to be looking and feeling alot like what we played for the others. Put us in better locations, (Office, outside forest, etc...)
