Alien Versus Predator. E3 2009

The Rundown.

Coming soon in early 2010
It will be released on the PC, XBOX 360 and PS3.

Made by the same development team of he last AVP, Rebellion.



What you looking at right now is the Demo on E3.

As far as I know, you will be given a campaign mode with 3 races to choose from.
A new addition has been added in the gameplay, which known as "Trophy Kills" when you are playing Predator.

In my opinion and my past experience, this should be a trophy/achievement system made by the developers. Which is always a good thing in Multiplayer and Singleplayer. Trophy and achievement allows players to change their ways of gaming according to the situation.

In other words, you have been given a choice other than racking up numbers into your kills.

Anyways back into the gameplay video,

The graphic looks astounding, the green mossy tree bark that you held and climbed on, the falling leaves and sun rays that hit forest trees and rocks. Not to mention, the effect of the plasma gun after it's been fired has been done in absolute detail and remarkably gorgeous.

As always, Predator has 3 major vision, Alien vision, thermal vision and normal vision. Not only does it allows you to spot the enemy easily, it allows you to check on what weapons are they carrying, what types of enemies are they, most importantly it allows you plan your attack before moving in for the kill.

When it comes to first person shooter, explosive is a must, the bigger, the better. Second is blood, the redder, the better. Melee attack in AVP is extremely rewarding. Other than it allows you to accomplish a trophy kill, the moment that the Predator grab the prey on his neck and watches the prey's expression fill with fear following with a scream of his final moment. It thrust it's wrist blade up his neck and brutally tear the prey's head off with it's spinal cord still attached to it's head as the blood gushed out like a broken high pressure nozzle.

Aliens are definitely terrifying, the claws, the tail, the freakish speed and the bloody blood acid that takes away health are annoying as hell in a fun way. Trophy killing against alien is indeed more satisfying.Watch it struggles like an insect with his teeth sticking out and shooting blanks. You know the drill after that.

Jumping has been enhance, unlike the ancient horizontal jump in every FPS. There will be a cursor indicating where you will be landing. Jumping has been made easy, so no more running into trees like George of the jungle anymore. Touche.

Okay. Until next time. Game on.
