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!

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.
“The team at Rebellion has created a truly immersive multiplayer experience with three completely different and compelling playable species. We believe that Aliens vs Predator offers gamers a unique alternative to the current FPS multiplayer games on the market, and sets a precedent for the evolution of multiplayer gaming in the genre,” said Gary Knight, European Marketing Director of SEGA Europe.
“Multiplayer was a huge part of our original AVP game back in 1999, and we’ve kept the spirit of that classic experience in creating the multiplayer for our new Aliens vs Predator. With the demo now gamers can get to grips with each of the three iconic species so they can hone their skills and be ready for when the game launches and battle commences,” said Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director of Rebellion.
Aliens vs Predator allows players to take the role of each of the three infamous species; the Colonial Marine, the Predator and the Alien. Each of the three species has its very own distinct story-driven single-player campaign mode that interweaves with the campaigns of the other two species.
Aliens vs Predator also features unique 3-way online multiplayer, giving gamers the chance to pit the three species against each other in the ultimate battle for survival and for the right to be crowned the deadliest species. Aliens vs Predator has seven multiplayer modes in total: Infestation, Survivor, Predator Hunt, Domination, Deathmatch, Species Deathmatch and Mix Species Deathmatch.
Aliens vs Predator is set to be released on Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and PC Games For Windows on February 16th in America and February 19th in Europe.

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.
