Aliens vs Predator is a FPS developed by Rebellion and being distributed by SEGA coming out on February 16 for PS3, 360, and PC.
You can play as the Colonial Marines and the Alien from the Aliens franchise, and the Predator from the Predator franchise. It's also one of the more gory games around as there are trophy kills for both the Alien and the Predator (headbite, ripping the spine out of a Marine).
There are a few different multiplayer modes than the usual Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Domination, etc. One is called Survivor mode which is like GoW2's Horde Mode except with human-controlled Marines against waves of AI Xenomorphs. There is Predator Hunt, which is essentially Halo's Juggernaut with the Juggernaut being a Predator and the others being Marines. The final one is Infestation where one player is an Alien and the rest are marines. Whenever a Marine dies, he spawns as an Alien and the match continues until the time limit is over or there are no more marines.
There are trailers explaining this the best:
Predator Hunt
Alien Infestation
Survival
Anyways, I'm wondering if anybody had heard about this, are going to buy this, played any of the previous ones, etc.
I am a huge Alien fan, played AvP2 and I would buy this game, except I don't have a "Next-Gen" console and my PC can't play TF2 let alone this game. I think that the addition of trophy kills and an interesting melee system for both Predator and Alien. The only thing that kind of made me a little sad is that there is a lack of Netgun for the Predator and lack of minigun for the marines as no one can forget Ol' Painless from the movie.
I think that this game will be pretty good as Rebellion has made good AvP games before in 1994 for the Jaguar and 1999 for the PC.
