Sega Releases New Aliens vs. Predator Trailer and Info

​

Sega has posted new information, screenshots and a trailer for the upcoming Aliens vs. Predator [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/89384-Alien-Versus-Predator-Bursting-Out-Soon] videogame, currently in development at original AvP studio Rebellion.

The new Aliens vs. Predator will once again let players become an Alien, a Predator and a Colonial Marine in an interwoven three-part single-player campaign and will also feature three-way multiplayer combat that will settle once and for all the question of who can turn a human into a lifeless pile of goo the quickest. The game will be the first in a series of new licensed Aliens titles from Sega [http://www.sega.com].

The story is familiar and almost entirely irrelevant: Humans discover pyramid, malevolent Alien horror is unleashed, Predators show up to clean house, Marines bring the guns, mayhem ensues. To be fair, you don't play an AvP game for the story; you do it because it gives you three distinctly different (and distinctly awesome) ways to kill stuff.

Unfortunately, the trailer doesn't give much of an insight into the killing but the studio behind the game, Sega Europe Blog [http://www.rebellion.co.uk/].

That's not a trailer. That's barely a teaser.

That said, I will pre-order this game. I loved AvP on PC.

You get to play as the Aliens? Awesome! I'll definitely give this a look via Gamefly when the time comes.

 

[Captain Pancake]

Wow.

I remember playing AvP2 on the PC, that game was pure, unadulterated fun.

But now this will give me the same thing, but with next generation graphics!

for the 2 seconds of actual trailer in that, i couldn't tell whether it was computer graphics or movie grade CGI!

You call that a trailer?

THIS [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ2-xR54UDU] it a trailer.

Nothing says dramatic suspense/action like Lux Aterna.

That's not a trailer. That's a spoon.

 

[GothmogII]

Bah...I guess this will have to make up for Colonial Marine! Still...I loved AvP2 :3

Looks terrible really.

 

[R0flberryPwncake]

when does the trailer start?

 

[Meado]

Huh? There was a video on XBox Live last week that showed loads of stuff. Why would they go from that to a crappy teaser?

There is no spoon.

They have a lot to live up to, I have fond memories of both of the previous games.

I read somewhere that this game is supposed to be A-rated but I could be mistaken.

2010? Come on, I want to mutilate someone NOW or at the very least, this year! Why can't it be released this holiday season along with Bioshock 2 and Modern Warfare 2?

I myself am very die-hard for the Alien films and i have also played both previous games. So bring it on.

What a tease. Cause it ain't a trailer

But the graphics look sharp from the two seconds they showed...

I fondly remember the first game and the accounts of the new one in OXM promise that if it can get by the censors, it will be great.

Censors? What, does it have titties in it? No. They have a HD segment where a predator twists someones head off and rips out their spinal column. Up close. This game is supposed to be super violent and is not for kids in anyway shape or form.

Mmm it makes me feel tingly.
