Elite Bastards
Aliens Versus Predator preview

I can't think of many people who didn't love the original Alien Versus Predator game (no matter how much it may have terrified them) and 2010 sees the franchise return, DirectX 11 support and all, with Aliens Versus Predator.آ How is the game shaping up as its release approaches?

It’s that fear which Rebellion and Sega are trying to tap into most of all with the all-new Aliens Versus Predator. Not the story-focused campaigns of the Monolith-developed AVP 2, but the creeping dread and endless tension of moving through corridors which you know are empty but which might not be…

To that end then the trilogy of campaigns in Aliens Versus Predator – a title which is actually distinguished from the original by the pluralised Aliens, by the way – are kept very distinct. They all form part of a single, large storyline ala AVP 2, but nearly all the story is condensed into the Marine section of the game, while the Alien and Predator merely overhear the plot between chomps and slices.

The actual nuances of the plot are still a closely guarded secret, though we do know that the campaigns will at least cover distinct environments and we’ve seen actual gameplay from some of these – mainly the steel tunnels of a human base as featured in the Alien and Marine stories.
