Alright, I'm sold. Playable Xenomorphs in a massive multi enviroment? Yes please.
As long as if they dont do the search for a server shit like in AVP3, thats what killed the game right there. Search for a server? Psst, fuck that. Lemme find a server not sit there an wait for like 5-10 mins for a possible server.
This game still exists?
[quote]Yes, a bit like Left 4 Dead's Versus mode[/quote]
Why is it Shack News thinks that everything is a rip off of something else?

I don't think they are implying its a rip off, just comparing it to a well known example of something.
Only 4 vs. 4? Meh. Was expecting Zombie Escape style with at least 32 players.

16 marines and 16 aliens is bound to become a huge clusterfuck.

Comparisons are pretty big on this. Team of four player controlled humans sprinting from point A to point B without getting killed by the four players playing as aliens.
There's the soldier/lurker (hunter) and the spitter(yep).
It's not a rip off, but it's pretty easy to show l4d as an example of what to expect.
Either way, I'm still excited. [IMG]http://i.somethingawful.com/images/emot-dance.gif[/IMG]

8 v 8 would be decent.. If people are TACTICOOL, they will go in groups of 2
From what I remember watching the single player is scripted beyond fuck and watching some deathmatch gameplay and it seemed to have the same formula as CoD but with aliens (5 kills! +500 points! Smartgun ready to deploy! Giant clusterfuck!). I expect nothing from this game.

Yeah, and the Alien AI seems awful. They just kinda run at you in a straight line and slowly claw at you.
Aliens is my favorite movie, and I would love to be proven wrong, but this game just doesn't look good...
[QUOTE=Hans-Gunther 3.;37471314]16 marines and 16 aliens is bound to become a huge clusterfuck.[/QUOTE]
nah, 4 Marines 28 Aliens.
More fun that way
It visually looks fantastic, right down to the small nuances, even the text is done in the same way as the film,
I would laugh if there was going to be some surprise Predator boss battle, I mean aliens appeared in that Predator Concrete Jungle game
i dont know anymore!!
the alien film series was my first r rated series and holds a special place in my heart, and i have a vested intrest in this game due to that
but from what ive heard, it's been dumbed down to a tacticool shooter from survival horror stuff!
help me fp
Why the fuck did they give the pulse rifle sights?

Because shooting with a crosshair isn't immersive anymore. It also gives you tunnel vision.

One of the main things in aliens was that the rifles didn't have sights in the first place.

If you read some of the books and shit about it

Sighting is made down a grove in the carrying handle, with an adjustable tangent leaf backsight positioned in the rear slot

I'm not sure....I want it...and I'm one of the few that liked AvP 3 but I have a feeling the mulitplayer for this will be dead within 1-2 months like the other...we'll see
also this mode will probably end up like L4D did, rage quitters everywhere
I like how there is a alien with Gigers design and then it shows Cameron's and finally the modern design.
In fact screw it the Four survivors should all be each director of the four films.

Predator: Concrete Jungle was like somebody's bad fanfic being turned into a mediocre game.
... I still play it from time to time, though. As a massive Predator fanboy, I pretty much have to until a better Predator game comes out.

I'd like to see one done a little like Assasin's Creed.
Unless that was what Concrete Jungle was like.

Rent it. Bam! Problem solved
The Lurker's appearance is very close to the Alien from the first film. I'm really grateful for this - they don't seem to use Giger's original design anymore in games and films.

I personally liked the newer ones more (ridged heads and spiny tails), but it's good that they keep both in.
Disappointed it's only 4vs4.
AvP2 had what, 16 players max?, and it worked just fine.
I understand that it's to be as similar to the movie as possible, and it's quite an iconic part, but I can't stand the noise the gun makes. I just find it unpleasant to listen to. Not that it stops me wanting the game or anything.
Also, I know I'm being awfully optimistic with this, but I hope they release mod tools, so someone can remake the good old AvP2 maps.
