I'm so glad to see the Predator dropped from the game! Now, it's just squishy human against acid spewing Alien - perfect.

If, that is, the campaign lasts longer than a few hours. I'm getting so tired of shooters focusing on online and leaving the single player with a pathetic excuse for a game that isn't worth £25 or £30.

Is it coming out on Steam? If so, I think I'll hold fire until the first inevitable Steam Sale.

Edit: Just saw the trailer. Wow - super scary! Great!!!

Will this come out for PC?

Check right at the end of the trailer - it mentions PC.

Most definitely. I don't think Brennus would have bothered mentioning it if it was only going to be out for the crapsoles..uh I mean consoles.

I'm really lookin' forward to this game, but I'm gonna keep my enthusiasm in check just to keep myself from getting too disappointed if it turns out to be crap. The fact that it's so much like the original film and not AvP is promising, so were off to a good start.

I played the AvP ps3 game, I thought it was pretty good. The Aliens campaign was weak and controlled poorly, the Predator's felt like you were too powerful, and I thought the Marine campaign was perfect but it was just too damn scary for me

But I beat it, getting that SMART gun near the end made it all worth it! Love that noise!

This looks pretty solid looking forward to it.

Hey, it looks like we are starting aboard the Sulaco, thats pretty cool. Nice gfx so far!

The problem with the AvP games has always been making 3 games in one. The play styles of the 3 species is very different, and I think only Monolith's AvP2 got even close to a good balance, although I still think the Alien side could've used some work. It definitely had the best implementation of the Predator for me, though. I think the need to split focus on the 3 has always hurt the games.

This Marines-only focus should help make the game a lot better. As for MP, well, there won't be any AvPvM deathmatch this time, so hopefully it will be Marines v Alien hordes like in AvP Classic and AvP (but with more maps, AvP had a shamefully small amount just so the rest could be DLC).

I personally had no problem with having the Predator in these games and the game play balancing issue used by some holds no water. I played as the predator in online deathmatces in the first 2 games and I was killed many times by both alien and marine players. It's all about knowing what tactics work and don't work for your species.
