AvP 2010 - Demo is out, Wangland-Yutani Steam Group now active
The Marine campaign in AvP was more horror than AvP2. They really got that down there, I have to say. I kind of liked the engine that AvP2 was in, though, since it let them play around with some lighting stuff and add more the atmosphere that we all want from an Aliens game.
All I know is that the online in AVP2 took away many hours from me.

I just want the sticker for my laptop. Loved AVP 2, but couldn't get into avp. Multi for AVP2 was great, get enough kills in some maps and you got to be the queen running around eating people.

The main thing I remember from the first PC AVP game was my PC had a virus which stopped it from working. I got home all giddy, ready to bite some marine heads off, and... crash on level load (about half way).I was nearly in tears for weeks, constantly installing and reinstalling, hoping it would fix itself. Then my dad came home from work and said a coworker had the same problem, and a virus scan fixed it.
I nearly had a heart attack when it passed that magical halfway point, and I saw the actual game appear.
Got my old copy of AvP Gold running on my x64 win 7 machine. good bye, evening.
If you were unawares, they rereleased AVP on Steam - Aliens Versus Predator 2000 Classic or something or other, updated(not graphically) to work on modern machines, they also just released a patch that adds proper widescreen support, unlimited saves, and stuff.
It's also only 5 dollars, and you get all the stuff from Gold, and some other map pack thingy. It lacks mp right now, but they are patching it in for free.
I'm not sure yet whether I want the PS3 or PC version.
-have a big TV, but not a big monitor (19inch flat running everything at 1280x1024)
Going to depend on if PC allows player made stuff maps/mods.
Have they said anything about any kind of mod or map tools, though?
For me, I'm picking this up on 360 depending on reviews and user opinions. I have a big screen, too, and this seems like a very cinematic experience. I am worried about their recent track record, though, thus the waiting. I've got a gift card here ready to go for it, so hopefully it plays as good as it looks.

I don't know, and that's the thing.. even magazines don't have that much info on the game and its out in a month.
-yeah I have both 360 and PS3, but no online options with my old 360 (its too much work to drill holes and run wires to the basement router) so my PS3 is my goto for online play console games.

I mentioned this a few pages ago, but it probably got caught up. I would have edited the title and OP, but jailed people can't edit posts. The current thread title is in reference to the Australia fiasco, but that's been done with for a while.
If any mods are reading, please feel free to edit either to mention AvP Classic hitting Steam for $5 if you are feeling charitable.

Would someone be able to gift me a copy of AvP if I give them the money in a week or so? The Aussie version is quite a bit more expensive than the US one. (Costs $65US here instead of the usual $50)
I am shocked this game is getting the amount of hype it is. Has anyone taken a moment to ask who the hell Rebellion is what their track record is like? Did you SEE the reviews from their game in the fall? http://pc.ign.com/objects/849/849719.html
AvP1 was OK, it's success mostly a product of it's timing. AvP was FAR better. This game should have gone to Monolith again or somebody else entirely.
I hope it doesn't suck, but I forsee a mediocre game / waste of a great opportunity coming.
Everybody knows that the Predator is just an allegory for the subconscious racial fear of the black man anyway. I mean, he's got dreadlocks, talks in clicks, runs around in the jungle, practices guerrilla warfare, wears the bones of his enemies, and carries a spear for crying out loud.
Here you have a group of gallant white people exploring the jungle, and getting picked off one by one by a savage, who the last survivor eventually outsmarts after losing his technology based advantage (his firearm), after he resorts to dropping down to the savage's level and using the enemy's own tricks against him (cloaking, in a sense), and it even reinforces the image by covering Schwarzenegger in mud to make him appear brown.
It's pretty much every 19th century Dark Continent novel ever written.

I agree, I wan't sure why Rebellion got the IP back when Monolith created the better game.
Colonial Marine is more interesting to me, but I haven't really liked any of Gearbox's past efforts. Borderlands was good but it has plenty of flaws, unfortunately.

So,you just took all the fun out of predators.
Congrats.
Ya really.
I mean, it wasn't Cowboys & Indians for crying out loud, it was WAR! The Predator had to die, he killed Jesse Ventura and Apollo Creed!

See, you're the second person to mention unlimited saves. Is that only on certain difficulties? I'm on Director's Cut, and it's still saying that I have 0 saves left.

It isn't added into the game specifically, but a command line, right click the icon for AVP in the Steam game section, go to properties, and click on launch options, from there add this
The steam page has a lot of info for this game if you guys haven't checked. Says there will be coop, and you play as the predator huntin mans in a jungle setting. Oh and the classic mutli style.
I'm pretty optimistic about this game still. They seem to have a solid premise as far as gameplay goes, melee attacks, blocks etc.
I'll try and keep up and do more research, but it looks like a day one buy for me. I mean, Predators.

Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

Windows 7/ XP/Vista 1 GB System RAM (XP)/ 2 GB System RAM (Vista) 3.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4/Athlon 64 3000+ or equivalent processor DirectX 9.0c compliant video card with 128 MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better, ATI X1600 or better)

That Survivor mode video is cool. That should be a lot of fun to play.
How many people can I look forward to playing with on the Xbox 360, by the way? Or is everyone leaning toward the PC version? My PC can handle the game, but I kind of want to play this on the big screen with the good speakers for ultimate terror.

I'm personally getting it for the PS3. Also, if survivor is just as good and than some as the original Skirmish mode, I will be one happy panda.
I wanted to get it for 360, but all of my friends decided that this was gonna be a PC game to get, so I preordered on Steam. Got Universe at War for free, so I suppose there's that.
Also, Colonial Marines looks like it's going to be excellent.

Gonna be on 360 for me as well, simply because of the larger number of online players in general. More noobs to stalk and hunt.

Waiting for the reviews on this, Rogue Warrior did not look like a good game at all (aside from the plentiful amounts of cursing, which was more hilarious than an indication of a good game). I mean, it could turn out great, but it could also turn out awful.

It's a whopping $100. And yes, it even says, multiplayer maps will be released later... but it comes with a life sized facehugger! Fuckin awesome.

Probably not. That's going to get reserved for Colonial Marine, which is confirmed still in production and due out end of the year/early next year.
I want to get it in on PS3. Any idea yet which will be the premier version?

Yeah, as if nowadays consoles are totally second-tier platforms that have to beg for competent ports.
/grumpy pc gamer
I can't decide though, Bioshock 2 or AvP. ARG.
Would someone be able to gift me a copy of AvP if I give them the money in a week or so? The Aussie version is quite a bit more expensive than the US one. (Costs $65US here instead of the usual $50)
Unless this is the norm of course?
Eesh, that's too much. I mean, yeah, the facehugger(!), but it would just end up in a box somewhere.
