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

[welshdragon]

Does anyone know if Rebellion/Sega are releasing a demo or beta or something? Out the end of next month so thought they may ahve done something?

 

[welshdragon]

I did pre-order - got squat! Plus it looks like the special editions are for console sonly

 

[welshdragon]

Edit - pre-orders on a certain jersey based retailer include 3 ingame skins. Game still retailing for £17.99 as well - bargain!

 

[welshdragon]

I've never used steam before so how does that work if you get the disc through the post and the extra content via steam? Can you choose to play the game via steam without the disc or something? I also noticed that although it is a games for windows procut its not GFWL.

Also, anyone got any idea of minimum specs required?

 

[welshdragon]

Thanks for the heads up, didn't realise Play.com were selling it so cheap.

Now im in the line ! Roll on end of Feb.

lol - subtle as a brick through a plate glass window

 

[welshdragon]

Nothing linked here> AVP3 is going to be available on steam. The bonus is supplied via steam. Never used steam before, presumably I'll get the disc in the post, could I then use steam to play it without the disc and access the pre-order bonus? Thoughts anyone?

 

[welshdragon]

Thats cool. What's steam like as a client, resource hungry or buggy?

 

[welshdragon]

In that case then, given the content is steam powered, I assume the cd key from the physical purchase can be used and the full game unlocked in steam.........

 

[welshdragon]

Is it better to play something via steam or from disc? I assume via steam no disc loading etc?

 

[welshdragon]

Accordinging to the forum on Steam, demo due on the 19th January

 

[welshdragon]

There are already two established threads regarding demo and other info?

Maybe we could just choose one of those to stick with?

 

[welshdragon]

Yeah but if you start your own official thread in light of these your e-peen grows by over 9000.

That said, I've pre-ordered the game and can't wait.

e-peen? What's that, sorrry I'm newish to forums.

Did you get the £18 pre-order with bonus skins?

 

[welshdragon]

Yes I concur - the only reason I buy physical is the sometimes huge differences in price. If steam offered AVP3 at £18 including skins woudl buy straight from there!

 

[welshdragon]

C'mon guys, lets not forget what this post is all about, the SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS, o wait, MMMMmmmm

Swiftly moving back to subject, lets all just agree those in favor of discs are right! lol

Anyone have any ideas for minimum specs to run aliens vs predator?

 

[welshdragon]

Gee, awkwaaaard, lol

Have I broke the awkwardness yet?

 

[welshdragon]

You can't see me right now but I'm pulling a funny jib to lighten the atmosphere

 

[welshdragon]

I too would be keen for that. Their staying very tight lipped about it, I hope the specs don't require a x-fire 5970 or something daft to play it tidy!

 

[welshdragon]

Yes full direct x 11, there's a demo of how DX11 tesselation will be implemented using an alien model somewhere. Plenty of animated versions of this on you tube.

Take a look at this on the AMD website regarding AVP3 and tesselation

[welshdragon]

Sweet. This game best turn out awesome!

 

[welshdragon]

Game have the Survivor edition available for pre-order on pc - £34.99. Not sure I can justify almost double the price I have it pre-ordered at for four maps which will come out as dlc and the courtesy of my game in a steel case!

*edit - HMV have the hunter edition for pc on pre-order for £39.99
