New AvP Game for Consoles Coming Soon

EA and Fox Interactive have announced that a new AvP game, Extinction, will be made. The release date is somewhere in the Summner of 2003. The owners of PlayStation2 and Xbox "will appreciate the action and ferocious battles that are true to the movie franchises as they embark on a quest to annihilate their enemies in a fight for survival. The three fiercest species in the universe have been locked in a bloody conflict for years with no end in sight. After a small unit of Colonial Marines, dispatched to planet LV-742, reveals the presence of both Predators and Aliens, it is decided that the conflict must end once and for all with the ultimate goal of total universal supremacy. In numerous missions, players will take to the all-terrain, futuristic battlefields such as mysterious jungles and treacherous caverns in an attempt to root out their enemies. With ten upgradeable combat units per species, players must lead their virtual army to victory in an all-out battle for the planet or face extinction In this tactical strategy game, players will control the forces of one of the three species, planning their attack strategy, creating their own custom army, and choosing upgrades ranging from vision modes to weapon modifications. Each species offers a unique set of attributes forcing players to master a variety of tactics and play styles in order to be victorious. As Colonial Marines, players will rely on military training and the latest hi-tech weaponry from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation to save the human population of LV-742. The Predators must use their stealth and highly evolved hunting techniques to gain the respect of the council of Ancients. Aliens will attack in hordes to kill their enemies, impregnate them with facehuggers which evolve into the ultimate weapons. A variety of units will be accessible to the player, from basic infantry to specialized warriors like the Alien Carrier able to carry facehuggers in groups, the Predator Hydra or the Marine Sniper."

Primal Hunt quotes

We've all played it--many of you enjoyed it. AbsoluteAvP needs NEW quotes for the random quote generator [top right], so how about flooding this AGN forum thread with in-game quotes, messages, ANYTHING you found notable, funny, stoopid or plain weird in Primal Hunt. :) Remember: We're still on the lookout for a Primal Hunt specialist.

AvP: GBA, a reminder

If you missed it--have a read of Fomorian's enticing vision of an AvP game for the GameboyAdvance: I for one, would like to see an entirely different approach to the franchise: A 2d side-scroller. remember ALIEN 3 for the SNES? I think it should be like that. As the marine that would basically be the name of the game: You are alone (or maybe not ! GBA link up anyone?) and must contain the alien infestation. As the alien, you have access to a much larger range of surfaces since you can climb on walls and cellings (so you can get into air ducks and underground tunnels). You can speed your way through, or capture humans and build a lair. The pred should obviously have a great mobility factor (super jump, limited climbing with his claws) and the true action begins when you get into close combat, where you could have great control over your combat moves and send those marines flying (a la first marine to get killed in pred2). enjoy it here

Primal Hunt: An in-depth review

We have a fan-submitted AvP2:PH review. Here's a teaser: The Aliens vs Predator 2 add-on, Primal Hunt, is filled with good ideas and new settings that can breath some fresh air into an already excellent game.

The New Alien Toy

Naughty Burrito reports that: I am not sure everyone knows, but if you didn't, the new aliens and preds set has a hidden feature. The alien's clear top cowl can be removed to reveal a fully detailed skull. I mean eyes, nose and stuff like that. Just apply a little pressure and it comes off. No worries, you can put it back on since theres a peg to be fitted in.

Alien3 Workprint

No doubt many of you will have downloaded the clips of deleted Alien3 footage from Alien Legend in the past. This is just the tip of the iceberg... The Alien3 workprint is pretty close to the final draft script by Giler & Hill (revised April 10 1991), but there’s still quite a few differences between it, the Workprint and the final film. Click here to find out all about them.

New Alien DVD Box

Amongst other sources (AvPNews, Dark Horizons, Digital Bits), The R2 Project, has reported that enclosed in the X-Men 1.5 DVD is a promo for the upcoming Alien Quadrilogy 9 Disk Boxset. Yes, 9 disks folks. Considering how much was crammed on the Alien DVD, Lord knows where they're going to find enough material for 9 disks, but there you go. At time of posting this remains a rumour, as there is no mention of it on the Fox website, which is still flogging the old Alien Legacy box. Worth a discussion in the forums non?

Predator : Hunter's Match

According to AvPNews and director Cory Bauer, the fan film Predator : Hunter's Match, the much anticipated (and long thought abandoned) follow up to Predator : Dark Jungle has picked up production again and is about 60% complete. Expect to see it ready about the time McFarlane's Movie Maniacs 6 is in stores. You can get the lowdown at Sboob Entertainment. NOTE : Despite the logo up there on the right, this is a fan produced film, and in no way connected to Fox or Uncle Rupert or anything. It is not an official sequel to Predator or Predator 2.

AvP1: Marine MP strategies

AvP by Rebellion has never really gone away--it lurks in the muddy waters of the community and people STILL dream of its inherent horrors and different gameplay. Static_J took upon himself to refresh our memory about the survival skills needed for Marine MP gameplay: As many of you know, playing AvP online is a totally different experience than playing single player. On the AAP message board there was a thread started to give tips to some of the other members. I thought id share some of the strategies that i use with you guys due to the shortage of good Marine players in AvP:Gold Edition. It's to help you guys that play marine to maybe learn how to play a bit better. Enjoy the article here and discuss it in the forums. NOTE--we are on the lookout for an AvP specialist--so if you like and KNOW the game, mail me for a chat. Same with a Primal Hunt Specialist :-))

The Complete Record of Alien Encounters - Part 1

This is something I've been working on for around 6 months, and it's pretty well finished (pictures will accompany it when some access issues have been sorted out). This piece describes each and every Alien encounter from the films, and offers theories and extrapolations (some new; some old) based on what we see and hear in the films - and ONLY what we see and hear in the films. Part 1 describes some ten encounters that various members of the Nostromo crew had with the Alien in it's many forms. Yet it took some time to pick up the Alien, which is subsequently lost, then gained again shortly before Dallas' demise. Does the Alien exert a natural electrical (or some other sort of) field that can play havoc with instruments? Did it pass through shafts that had some of shielding, blocking the tracker from picking it up? Or did Ash not build them properly -either by accident or design? This is just a schnippet. The whole thing encompassing all four films runs to 63 single spaced pages without pictures. Parts 2, 3 and 4 will be published in the coming weeks, as will approximately 160 reference pictures. The whole thing is available here, and if you have anything to comment about it, check the forums.
