That looks way to scary for me to play.

Ok, that looks outstanding. This will definitely be a pre-order for me.

Hope it's better than AvP was. Not bad but felt like I time traveled to 1999.
There was a killer Aliens game on the PS1 (for the time). Went into the Space Jockey's ship and all IIRC. I'd really like to see a good one that's with the times.

Come to think of it, aliens and predators always go well together, I'd like another good Predator game like on the Xbox. Predator: Concrete Jungle was excellent, other than the wonky camera and crappy save system.

Hope we can weld, I liked that in Aliens.

I never got very far with AVP.It was very difficult trying to play when you are hiding behind the sofa behindcouch

I will give this a try though.

I liked AvP2 the best as far as a good game. AvP1 was the scariest, but it was also quite hard and now looks very dated.
The new AvP looked and played great in individual moments, but the story wasn't so great despite having Lance Henriksen's voice.

I thoroughly enjoyed the last AvsP game but there were a few things that I felt prevented it from being a great game,

1. Like Jedi mentioned the story wasn't that interesting.

2. So you can throw the combi-stick but you cant wield it as a melee weapon? What were
the developers smoking?

3. No coop mode with predators and marines against hordes of aliens. I really missed that from the original game.

4. The energy replenishmet for the predator was idiotic. The Predator has its own self contained energy device so there's no need to be looking around for generators to extract energy from!

5. The laughably small number of multiplayer maps that came with the initial release of the game. I believe it was a grand total of TWO?

I always wished for more from coop than just last man standing vs waves of aliens, though. It was a singular lack of originality there.

About time to put the Predator out of Aliens game. Will buy for sure!
