*****The Official Aliens Vs Predator 3*****

Just watched the Predator intro video and inital game play footage above...

This game is going to be friggin' sweet!!!
 
Im hoping the demo will be multiplayer only as I dont want the story ruined by it. Hate playing a demo that starts you in the middle of the game, even if it was the opening section it wouldnt be too bad.
 
From avpgalaxy.net:

Xbox Live Spotlight channel featured an advertisement claiming the date for the AvP demo. It seems like the ad is no longer available online but we can confirm that it’s true. The demo will be released this week, Thursday Feb 4th".

Aliens vs. Predator multiplayer modes dissected

In preparation of Aliens vs. Predator being released on the 19th of February (not long game fans), here’s a little bit of info on the seven different multiplayer modes. Which one are you most looking forward to?


DEATH MATCH:
If you love a game with frantic, brutal chaos then Death Match in AVP multiplayer is for you. It’s all about getting the most kills in the time limit set. Players can also win the match by hitting the target score before anyone else.

INFESTATION:
For total over-whelming mayhem, nothing comes close to the tension and potential for pant-wetting scenarios than INFESTATION. One player starts the match as an Alien Hunter and their task is to kill the Marine prey. When a Marine player is killed they will join the Alien Hunter team and help to kill off any remaining Marines.


MIXED SPECIES DEATH MATCH:
just like Death Match, but with mixed species. Two teams, made up from all three species fight to get the most kills in the set time limit or to reach the target score before the other team.


SURVIVOR:
For the ultimate test of stamina, play Survivor Mode. Survivor allows for up to four players to enter an arena to fight waves of progressively stronger aliens. Each arena will be set up with two main areas. One will be a platform which is relatively easy to defend; the other will be an area where ambush by aliens is more likely. Supplies of health and ammo will re-spawn in this second area.


PREDATOR HUNT:
If you’re after a more stealthy multiplayer game go for Predator Hunt. In this mode one player is selected to become the Predator Hunter, the rest of the players take the role of the Marine prey. The Hunter must use the Predator’s stealth abilities and advanced equipment to pick off the prey and score points. The Marines will need to defend themselves from this threat and if possible, to kill the Hunter.


SPECIES DEATH MATCH:
Species Death Match pits a Marine team, Alien team and Predator team against each other in a race to get the most kills within the set time limit or to reach the target score before any of the other teams.


DOMINATION:
Take capture the flag to a whole new level with Domination. In Domination two teams fight for ownership of Control Points around the level. Owning a Control Point gives the team a small and steady, stream of points. The more Control Points owned, the more that team scores. A team will win when their score has reached 100 points.
 
I've heard reports that it may not quite live up to the magic of the original, but I'm looking forward to trying the demo.

Watching the Aliens rap last night just reminded me how much I love the first 2 films and the universe.
 
First time I have bothered looking at AVP game media like videos/screenshots.....

Glad I did as this looks pretty poor to me graphically :eek: like its been severely cutdown to fit the consoles with the PC getting a sightly better looking version. Perhaps they have uploaded the console media by mistake but watch very closely and it does not look anything special at all in places it looks about 4 years old with very low res textures & poor model levels of detail :(

Think I will wait on PC player reviews before buying now mainstream reviews are no longer reliable :(
