Sega to stop PS3/XBox 360 support for Aliens vs Predator?
Posted by Tosh in Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs Predator 3 on July 14th, 2010
First they make a sub-par AVP multiplayer game and now they stop supporting it all together? For shame Sega .. and not to long after DLC was released too. I still have yet to buy this game, I was really disappointed by the multi-player demo. I’ll probably still get it at some point, just used this time around.
I’ve just received a mail this AM regarding patches for the console versions of AVP and I regret to inform everyone that these have sadly been scrapped.
I had previously made a claim that these were coming and at the time, this was very much on the table. For the console community, I apologize, as I know there are many features and updates that you’d like to see. I’ll keep fighting internally for this to happen, but until I hear otherwise, there will not be a console patch for either Xbox or PS3.
Hopefully they get good response from the AVP players and change the decision to drop support for the console versions. Btw, what do you think of the AVP multiplayer?

Killzone 3 Footage and Interview
Posted by Trev in Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs Predator 3, Killzone 3 on May 28th, 2010
The interview is conducted by Jeff Rubenstein – Social Media Manager at Sony with Guerrilla Games‘ Dutch Schenior Produscher Steven Ter Heide and if you squint at the background you can see Killzone 3 running on one of the snow levels, don’t worry the guy in the hat gets out the way pretty quickly! It appears to be a looped video capture rather than someone actually playing through a demo.
In the video you can see it looks familiar to Killzone 2 whilst still showing some new features such as melee kills, turret guns and snow. The melee kills look nice but also look as though they would create problems in a similar way to the recent Aliens Vs Predator in that you’re a sitting duck whilst brutally killing your target. Still it’s looking good and nice to hear that Guerilla are listening to the community. Killzone 3 is due out in 2011.

Need a Reason to Play AVP? Predators Sneak Peek Might Get You Excited
Posted by Oly in Aliens vs Predator, Commercials, Movies on March 15th, 2010
WOW!! That’s all I can really say, as the video speaks for itself. I know this is off topic a little, but I feel it is awesome enough to get some people to try AVP from Atari again, and join me in a game or 2.
I can’t wait for this movie, but until then I’m just going to play AVP a bunch on my PS3.

Sega will replace AVP Hunter Edition Facehuggers with Broken Tails
Posted by Oly in Aliens vs Predator on February 25th, 2010
The packaging of the Facehuggers caused many of the tails to literally break off. I went through 3 packages before settling on one that was only torn, vs. completely broken off. According to SEGA, there are a “small amount” of damaged tails, however the gamestop I bought mine from had 4 of the 7 they received completely broken off, and 2 torn. SEGA has stepped up to the plate and is offering to replace any damaged facehuggers free of charge.
SEGA is solely responsible for replacing the damaged facehuggers. We would like to ask for gamers to NOT go to the original retailer where they purchased Aliens vs. Predator from for a replacement.
In order to make this replacement process as efficient as possible we ask that gamers go to www.sega.com/facehugger and follow the detailed instructions on the webpage or call 1-800-USA-SEGA to register themselves for a replacement facehugger. Once again there will be no charge of any kind for obtaining a replacement facehugger.
SEGA would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our fans. We ask for their patience as we work quickly to replace the damaged facehuggers.
They are requiring the DLC code for the exclusive map pack as proof of purchase. There is also no mention of sending in the old one.
Looks like I’ll be getting a new one and might be able to keep the broken one. I’ll then post the pic of it on my face, even though it is a little small. The facehugger, not my face! 
On a side note, the Pre-order codes have been reported to be working as of this morning.
Aliens vs. Predator – Launch trailer
Posted by Tosh in Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs Predator 3 on February 19th, 2010
I’ve already voice my concerns over the AVP Demo. If these have been addressed in the final game let me know. The single player campaign I’m sure will be amazing. It’s the MP that I’m not so sure about. Anyway, check out this cool launch trailer for AVP.
AVP Pre-order and Hunter Edition Codes are Not Working
Posted by Oly in Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs Predator 3 on February 18th, 2010
The Aliens vs. Predator pre-order and hunter edition codes for the PS3 are not currently working. Keep them as they are supposed to be fixed by the 25th. Sega released this statement on their blog:
SEGA has received reports of problems with the downloadable content (PDLC) for the PlayStation 3 version of Aliens vs. Predator. The reported issues center around a delay as to when the PDLC content will be available to access. SEGA is working hard to shorten the delay but understands that the live date will be February 25th.
We want to thank the AVP fans for their support and urge fans to retain the PDLC vouchers they have in their possession as retailers will not able to rectify this issue.
For further assistance please contact SEGA at csescalations@sega.com or directly by phone on 1-800-USA-SEGA
Dissapointing, but at least they are already working on it. I’ll be posting pics of the hunter edition face hugger, on my face, soon!
