The follow-up to the Rebellion's earlier AVP game (which is distinguished from the 2010 revival by the fact that Alien is now plural, begging the question why they didn't call it Many Aliens vs Predator) may have afforded itself some space for a new story by resisting the urge to be a direct sequel, but it's space which has gone to waste regardless."
In the first part of our series we took a look at the inception of horror games. Now we delve deeper and see how they evolved throughout the decades.
"Ever since Xbox One backward compatibility was announced, gamers have been asking for a few high-profile games. While the majority of requests revolve around the Call of Duty franchise, the Aliens and Sonic franchises have been other hot series. Today, Microsoft announced that Aliens vs. Predator, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Sonic Unleashed are now backward compatible."
Kingdoms of Amalur was brilliant. Never did get a sequel because all the crap that happened after with the IP.
It looks as though the 2010 first person shooter, Aliens vs Predator might become a Xbox Backwards Compatible title soon based on its revamped Xbox Store product page.
Been playing the shit out of it on PS3. Hopefully this gives the game another lease of life. Such an underrated game imho.
I think this game will be fun for longtime fans of the aliens and predator series. The game is not getting stellar reviews but for what it is I think it will still be somewhat fun. I am a huge fan of the series so I don't care what reviews it gets, I'm still picking this up. The MP demo was hit and miss for me. Running around as the aliens was the best part once I turned on seamless wall running. I could literally run circles around marines and it was good times. The aliens can spot the predators even while cloaked and the predators can spot the aliens well when using that particular viewing mode. I just got owned when I played as the marine so not sure how they are going to hold up, but they are the underdog anyway so I guess it makes sense. The gore of the game is pretty intense but I guess I will have to see how the rest of the game plays out.
