    reminds me of Arkham Asylum.

    we should only hope it's that good.

    Hopefully it'll be like the old AvP games where you can choose Predator/Alien/Humans. For its time, that game really freaked me out when playing as humans.

    Trailer looks amazing and looks like it will retain the FPS aspects of the old ones

    Well it looks good from trailers, and we all know the hit that was the earlier games but I'd like to point out my skepticism on this title. I am looking forward to it but with extreme caution.

    1. Wolfenstein - Yup an icon of the FPS world revamped for 2009 and it was an overpriced, formulaic, average shooter with tacked on MP throwing up one big middle finger to the institution that it once was.

    2. Rebellion - Haven't really done anything that great lately. Their latest release Rogue Warrior is complete tripe. Gamespot said "This dreadfully boring, expletive-filled, extremely short shooter is an absolute rip-off."

    So wait and see friends. Here's to hoping it's good. ;)

    It would be interesting if they incorporated elements from the movie, a bonus level of being an alien/human hybrid or alien/predator hybrid.

    Someone told me that it was going to based on the crysis engine. The source isn't very reliable but I wanted to know if it was true. If so its going to be another ridiculous stupidly engineered games that will need lots of video cards to run well....

    Though the original AvP title for the PC was a spooktacular fright-fest for fans of the AvP saga, I am keeping expectations for this outing low -- really low. Afterall, SEGA is attached to the title.

    No mas, no mas!

    Last time I checked, the AvP game maker (Rebellion?) mentioned that there would be NO DEDICATED servers for AvP.

    Seems like more and more game makers are following that trend. BAD.

    Anyway, the previews look awesome, I was hoping for dedicated servers so we could runs our own thing. Wait and see I guess!!!

    i did hear that in the multiplayer, players will be able to choose if they want to play as aliens/humans/predators. Playing as aliens will be so sick!!
