SEGA and Twentieth Century Fox have unveiled a brand new Alien vs. Predator game for release next year.
There's no set title, no set platforms and no gameplay details. But, excitingly, we do know Rebellion will develop. And that same studio made the very first Aliens vs. Predator game all those years ago.
"The innovative new AvP game presents an exciting opportunity for us. It represents a fantastic addition to our growing Aliens franchise and the reinvention of one of gaming's most cherished iconic titles," said SEGA West boss Naoya Tsurumi.
SEGA now has three Aliens games in development: Aliens: Colonial Marines by Gearbox, Aliens RPG (working title) by Obsidian, and Aliens vs. Predator by Rebellion.
The latter will be the first of the trio to appear. That means Aliens: Colonial Marines, which had been on the SEGA schedule for early this year, will be pushed way, way back.
Incidentally, we've not heard anything on the Obsidian Aliens RPG since 2006. But then Obsidian is currently hard at work on spy RPG Alpha Protocol for SEGA.
Rebellion is making Shellshock 2: Blood Trails for Eidos, which launches on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 this Friday. Look out for our review soon.
The last Aliens vs. Predator game by Rebellion was Requiem for PSP, which was, unfortunately, dreadful.
Fingers crossed.

Good stuff, although it remains to be seen if Rebellion can pull it off. They haven't really had a game as good as AVP since then, have they?!

Rogue Trooper was a decent shooter. Great fun on the PS2, fairly decent story too.

"But, excitingly, we do know Rebellion will develop."
Errrrrrr, we ALL know they're developing it and have done for a while now, this isn't news is it? Or am I getting confused? Thought it was like already in development for a while or did I read my copy of GamesTM wrong? Or was it Edge, God only knows. In fact was it it not being talked about HERE a few months ago? Anyway, it's obviously going to be great. Rebellion seem to have got lumbered with some right ropey old licenses recently, this should see them doing what they know best coz Rogue Trooper was great.

Yup, I really enjoyed Rogue too, and loved the original AvP.
Lets hope they don't take any direction from the half-baked movies! |

Bah. Colonial Marines was the one I wanted but I fear it may quietly disappear. I enjoyed the PC games but the movies have sapped any interest I had in the concept of AvP.
How about Predator vs Thing instead!

A bit on Obsidian's Alien RPG:
forum member JayHy17: Will you guys be showing anything at E3 or Comic Con 09? Project Director: We'd sure like to, but that's up to SEGA. http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?sho... So, it sounds like they're ready to properly reveal the game, but that may get scuppered by SEGA's shifting priorities.

MOTHER OF GOD.
I've been awaiting for this news for years. Please, please PLEASE do not ruin it by sacrificing on the console altar. I want terror and cold sweat, as it was in the previous marine campaigns :) And I want it to be difficult

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. That's the only way to be sure.

The first Alien vs Predator was brilliant. And one of the reasons why, was that they made the experience scary as hell wandering around those corridors, by deliberately designing the game to be without savepoints or checkpoint systems. And the great gameplay variety of playing the different races is probably the best gameplay variety I've ever seen in a shooter. Playing through the dark and terrifying marine levels, then having a ball playing around with the predator equipment and being the best assassin ever in the predator levels, and then the disorienting fast crazyness of running over the walls and roof in the alien levels.
I hope they can live up to it. |

Nooo dont delay Colonial Marines..... thats bad news and anyone can work out its either being canned or they obviously have serious problems with it. I would be very surprised if three different games are related storywise other than there are aliens in them.

Well Rebeliion seem to do okay with their own licenses - Rogue Trooper and Judge Dredd but other than the PC AvP they aren't too good with other people's licenses especially when trying to tie them into movies, etc.
I wish they would do more with their 2000AD IP, the Button Man is crying out for a good game. |

AVP on the Jag was superb, that and Tempest 2000 justified the huge import price tag I paid for the Jag. The other good games such as cannon fodder et al were icing on the cake.
Edit As chance would have it I am listening to the T2000 soundtrack. Good times indeed.

Good to see the Obsidian devs spamming up their own boards - there's nowt like pro-active marketing!
http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?sho... http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?sho... In other news - the PC AvP games were indeed awesome, hope they keep the same intertwining storyline thing going on. And playing as a facehugger. XD |

I only had AvP2, but man alive if the Marine levels weren't shit scary. Probably the scariest game I've played, partially because Alien evokes some horrible things, I hate and love it :(
I remember when you had to go into investigate what had happened to some missing buddies, and as you progressed into this otherwise nondescript corridor network, the walls turned green and webbed, and you began to see eggs. Then you came across your old friend, stuck against the wall. Then you had to fucking leg it. Scared me senseless. Loved it. |

"Id love if they thought about an Alien vs Predator RTSl, could be an idea that will never work but id just like to see it.
3 Factions: Men, Aliens, Predators... " Sounds a bit like Starcraft to me. |

Instant buy for me. This series should have stayed in comics and games though. I really hated the films.

Oh god, AVP kicked so much ass. Never really got in to the sequel, seemed too much like a generic FPS for my tastes. But AVP1... it was just so different to everything else out there. I wonder if they'll be able to pull that off again? I'm guessing no... but would love to be proved wrong.
One thing I loved about the original was that they didn't hold back on which toys you could use early on in the game. In the second, running around as a predator with only a pistol seemed a bit silly. |

Got to say I think Monolith did a better job with AVP2 on the horror bits, Marine especially but the last level on Marine just went a bit silly. Multiplayer was top notch though, they did quite a good job of balancing the characters, although Predators seemed most fun to play to me(more to master there but worth it once you did).
Looking forward to this, hope they can pull it off. :)
