Aliens Vs Predator Screenshots

Rebellion can stuff it with megatons of bump mapping and it will still look like crap. Literally.

OMG not a chance. When that game out it sucked gameplay along with graphics.

You should take another look at Doom3 it's not were near as good. So what is it don't have stupid UBER graphics like Crysis which also sucked.

Maybe you turn up the brightness of your monitor because your scared of the dark which ends up making the game look even worse as the same thing happened with the 1st one if you did that the game looked like crap.

And lets face it a game should not be all about graphics anyways a game should be good for more than one reason. And who knows how old the demo is really ?.

Granted they screwed the demo release up as i think it should of had a sp mission with it as well to cater for more people.

Doom 3 was the Crysis of its time. I dont see exactly how the graphics sucked, and the atmosphere and overall design of the game highly resembles that of Doom 3.

I agree.. Wait til we see the DX11 features...

Direct x cannot save games.
It can just make bad games look prettier.
how is the gameplay?
how are the movement and animation mechanics?
How is the attack interface?
does the game feel clunky or does it it all meld together nicely?

can aliens run on walls?
I hope it's a good game, I'm a huge fan of the aliens series.
My nickname pretty much everywhere is Bishop..lol

Gameplay is awesome IMO. They especially made the Marines better. In the last AVP games, they were supposed to pack superior firepower, but it was underpowered and ate through ammo like popcorn. The pulse rifle actually takes a WHILE to change a clip and the sniper rifle can drop a predator in 3 shots, 2 if you hit the head.

The predator is exactly what you would think. He is a bitch to see, does massive damage and is tough as nails, but pretty slow and has to be up close to do the majority of attacks. The disc has been reduced in power so it's not an uber weapon anymore.

The Alien is probably the most fun. Yes, you can crawl on the walls and cieling, and it's loads of fun doing it. And the sprint feature makes them move like greased lightening. I found that stalking is the best approach, if spotted, RUN.

 

[D007]

Dam you JC..lol..
with a review like that I'll have to end up getting it.. XD
Thanks for the feedback.
I think the greased lightning comment made it a must..

Being an avid player of Alien Vs Predator 2, from Sierra in 2001... this game plays really bad for me. I was hoping for a lot of the same aspects of AvP2, it worked. It was a solid game that never got enough praise imo. This just doesn't play as well imo, not at all.

They promised dedicated servers i'm sure? Yet we've got matchmaking. I dunno, the demo doesn't do enough for me. It doesn't make me want to pre-order, might be worth it for just the single player if it's going to be anything like AvP2 though.

Also, are we going to be able to choose our class of Alien? Or is it just Drone? I always played Runner. Weak but fast.

Oh yeah, it's a LOT of fun. A player that was playing as a marine had me dead to rights, but I used the sprint feature to get away, went up on the ceiling, circled around behind him and got him for a stealth kill. Then a predator did the same to me right after I killed the marine. It's a very tactical game IMO.

Team Deathmatch seems like it will be AWESOME.

I have to say that I am having an insane amount of fun with this game. Just as much as Left 4 Dead. I am damn good with the Alien. People expect you to be on the floor, not the ceiling, it's like picking low hanging fruit.

I'ma have to agree. But I'm still getting used to all the controls.
Can't wait to see the DX11 version though

 

[Boneface]

IM having trouble to getting it full screen, the only way for me to do it is window mode it and that blows lol anyone know how to fix it?


thanks Boneface

Alien controls do have a pretty good learning curve. If your cursor goes solid green, you can press jump and go there. So, if you are running on the ceiling, aim to the floor and press jump and you will land right side up, still running.

Should have mentioned Predators controls . But thanks for the heads up.

F is used for switiching the vision modes, press left shift to bring up a target icon, then press jump to go there. Once you find the disc, throw with the middle mouse button. R goes invisible, H uses a health pack. Haven't found the plasma caster yet, so I am not sure how to use it.

I switched the commands for easier use, but it seems to have failed. And your plasma caster is pretty much
a second weapon. There will be a blue triangle that appears on the screen. When it turns red you are on an
enemy and you fire with the left mouse button.

What kind of DRM they got planned for this game? Something crazy along the lines of blood/urine analysis or just a simple CD/DVD check?

As for the graphics, from the trailers it seems okay, if not a bit over-hyped considering all the DirectX11 noise we have been hearing for months when it comes to this game. The general consensus over at Overclock.net forums is that the game, and I quote, "sucks".

I have been hearing that it sucks too. Mostly from the guys playing predator that I pwned over and over again. I don't get why people would say that, it's a kick ass game.

I finally tried the demo, can't say I'm impressed. I dig it, but really not nearly as fun or enjoyable as I'd hoped...though I came off a hellacious fun time in the BC2 beta so maybe that ruined it for me, but the movement limitations, the no aiming down the sights, the no jumping or needing to as a marine at least, left me feeling that it was less than it should be for a modern FPS in 2010. The graphics are sharp, but nothing amazing, though I will give credit for proper artwork, theme and sounds, amazing there for the theme of the title. Beyond that, feels like nothing special...though it has my interest to keep trying, it feels so damn limited and almost dumbed down it's annoying. No offense to anyone that likes it, but that's my opinion with a 30 minute session and loss of interest beyond that thus far.

I take it you only played as a Marine? The Alien has more movement options than any other game. Floor, ceiling, walls, and boxes you are free to go anywhere. Aiming down the sights in a game like this just wouldn't work, even if you could, why would you? Watch Aliens man, they all shoot from the hip. There is a TON of depth to this game. Blocking light attacks, counters, stealth kills, timing tough attacks. The biggest advantage to the Marines is how long range they are and how much damage they do.

One thing that does annoy me is the stealth kills get YOU killed half the time. I swear, it looked like viagra day at the local prison at one point. One predator stealth kills a marine, then alien gets the predator, then another predator got the alien, followed by me getting the predator.

I grew up around the series, but I'm not looking for gameplay from Doom II in a game for 2010 for the marines at least. I'm gonna play the other species for sure, just dissapointed so far with the marines. I do dig the blocking light attacks, but sorry even if it's not needed it should be a "duh" addition to a game in this day and age for aiming down the sights. And there are quite a few times I could see using it imho. Where's the flamethrower? Haven't seen that yet, but I do dig the shotties for sure.

But I do like the action, when I decided to play it, the pace and feel are just left behind in comparision to BC2 beta gameplay and enjoyment-wise for me, doesn't mean I hate the game, but so far not uber impressed...doesn't mean it won't grow on me, it's hard to turn down a game with as much promise as this, and yes I must try the other species of play, but they also need to do a few more things to the marines imo. Sure they could copycat to the T, but why not modernize it a bit beyond touting DX11? It's half way there, but still leaves me wanting it to be more than being content with the experience.

There are times when I wish the Marine could at least vault up on to ledges. Flame thrower is in the middle of the map, top level. Right behind the Alien formation.

To each his own. I buy a game for how fun it is, I guess you buy for how it looks.
