Pre-E3 2009: Aliens vs. Predator First Look
The ultimate killing machine squares off against the perfect hunter.
US, May 25, 2009 - Ten years ago, Rebellion surprised PC gamers with a stellar first-person shooter based on the Alien and Predator franchises. Rebellion spent the next decade making a string of mediocre shooters that paled in comparison to its most notable work. But the UK developer is hoping to reclaim some of its notoriety with a return to the franchise that put them on the map. Along with SEGA, Rebellion is "rebooting" Aliens vs. Predator for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
The basic concept remains the same. Aliens, a Predator and a number of Colonial Marines are mixing it up and you have the opportunity to play as each faction. This time around, there is a strict linear story which plays out Call of Duty style, switching between perspectives after each level. One of the Predator's holy temples has been defiled by the Marines, who in turn have accidentally awakened the ancient Alien Queen living in it bowels. The first batch of "junior" predators storm in and get slaughtered by the Aliens. And thus, one of the elite alien-hunting Predators is sent in to clean up the mess.
The Predator has several visual modes including infrared and alien vision (which highlights Aliens trying to hide in the jungle), but the most useful is his Focus Mode. In this visual mode, the Predator gets all of his necessary information about his surroundings and his prey. Objectives and important items are highlighted in red and landing points are also shown. If a jump is going to make a loud noise, the landing point icon pulses. You can make the leap if you wish, but the noise could attract attention. And as we stated earlier, you're not going to survive if you're careless.

This game looks pretty awesome, what do you guys think about it?

I've been waiting for them to make a new Predator game. Concrete Jungle was alright.... I really hope they don't mess this game up.
