Updated Aliens vs Predator Demo Available for the PS3
Posted by T0SH in Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs Predator 3 on February 12th, 2010
As your aware the current AVP Demo has issues with finding others to play with other than friends you invite. SEGA and Rebellion has put up a updated version of the demo. So you will need to delete your demo and download the new one. If you boot up the demo and get this image, you have the old demo.
SEGA and Rebellion can confirm that a new updated version of the Aliens vs Predator demo is available now on PlayStation Network. The first iteration of the Aliens vs Predator multiplayer demo has now been taken down from PlayStation Network and replaced with this new version.
The first iteration of the demo suffered matchmaking problems resulting in some players experiencing difficulties getting into matches. SEGA and Rebellion have worked closely with Sony to investigate and resolve the issue with this new demo. The new demo also features additional functionality to allow PlayStation 3 users to create their own matches and browse for any available ones to join.
“We are confident that the matchmaking issue has been fixed with this new demo and we will be monitoring community activity closely over the coming days to ensure that it has been fully resolved. We would like to thank the community for all of their valuable feedback and continued patience,” said Gary Knight, European Marketing Director of SEGA Europe.
Rebellion would also like to clarify the reasoning behind the choice of a Deathmatch multiplayer demo for Aliens vs Predator.
“We chose Deathmatch as the mode for the demo as it’s very familiar to all FPS gamers and minimizes restrictions on players while they are getting to grips with the controls of each of the three playable species” said Jason Kingsley, CEO and co-founder of Rebellion. “We have plenty of new modes in the game and players only have to wait a matter of days before they can play them when the game launches.”

Aliens vs Predator is set for release on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC Games For Windows on February 16th in America and February 19th in Europe.
AvP: Tosh vs Sinlock
Posted by Sinlock in Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs Predator 3, PS3 on February 5th, 2010
Well folks after many months of trash talking, Tosh and I had our first AvP showdown in the Mulitplayer Demo.
After 10 mins of waiting in the lobby for a room to open up our first match started with Tosh as a Marine and I as the Predator. After wandering around a bit I found Tosh after he tested newly found flamethrower. I was able to land the first kill of a battle that landed up going 1 for 1 until the last few seconds of the match with the game ending 3-3.
The second round (after more waiting in the Lobby) had Tosh as his beloved Predator and I as the very nimble Alien. This round went in Tosh’s favor with a few Ranged and Melee kills with that round ending 4-1.
It’s safe to say that there will be a rematch.
Aliens vs Predator: Q&A Video
Posted by T0SH in Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs Predator 3 on February 4th, 2010
The Alien Infestation mode sounds like great fun. Everyone starts out as a Marine and one is selected at random to be a alien host. After a while he turns into an Alien and then anyone killed by an Alien turns into one himself until there are no marines left.
I wonder how they will handle the Predators different vision modes. When I played AVP 2, I had the vision mode mapped to my mouse scroll button and that worked great for me.
I quickly settled down and learned some alien-specific moves that turned out to be incredibly devastating, including a lightning-fast lock-on “pounce” maneuver and a deadly stealth attack.
I like the idea of a deadly stealth attack. But a lock-on “pounce”, I hope that isn’t a 1 hit kill. In AVP 2, the pounce was never a lock on, but it was a one hit kill usually.
Aliens vs Predator Multiplayer Demo Tomorrow

The demo takes place on the Refinery map, with the only mode available being Deathmatch (not sure if it’s a standard or team, but odds are, it’s team deathmatch). Here’s from the Press Release:
The multiplayer demo will allow gamers the chance to play as all three species – the Colonial Marine, the Predator and the Alien – and pitch their skills against each other in Deathmatch mode on Refinery, one of the game’s multiplayer maps.
I bet Tosh will be happy! To add to this bit of news, EA also announced that the BFBC2 demo will now be made available tomorrow in North America, as posted by me here. And don’t forget, next week we also get the Heavy Rain demo!

Aliens vs. Predator Heritage Trailer
Posted by T0SH in Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs Predator 3 on January 25th, 2010
This video takes us back to the original Aliens vs Predator from 1999. They show how far the game has progressed since then. I actually never played the original, I started with Aliens vs Predator 2. Man that was fun until the hackers ruined the online play. One hack I didn’t mind though was character skins. I could see that being DLC in the future. Another thing I hope they get right is the character balance. Back with AVP 2, normally it boiled down to Predators vs Aliens and a few marines thrown in. There still isn’t an exact release date, Sega’s website just says February 2010. Oh and check out this Predator motorcycle, lol. Would have looked better with the helmet on though. More pics of it here.
