Seriously. Alien vs Predator might soke up SC2 playtime

I never had played the original, but yeah, I did notice when they did the comparison videos that they both did look fairly similar at first glance. My trouble is also getting past that core engine, I just feel like I've seen it before in the other U3 clones.

But hey, I'd be totally floored with Ubisoft if they made a fairly up-to-date version of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory's multiplayer. You know, one where after updating your video drivers past DirectX8 the flashlight still actually works, and the 64-bit processing that's advertised all over the place in the game actually increases performance? :rolleyes:

Badass!! So this is the game everybody here has been talking about? Damn...I may have to get this loveliness.

I didn't find a source, but I've heard in a few places that the demo is due out on the 4th?

Hunter or Prey. Personally I like guns more than melee.

This Thursday, yup. We'll find out then one way or another (multiplayer or singleplayer) whether the game meets expectations.

I don't think the visuals are that great, but the gameplay looks like it will be fun.

Looking forward to the demo

I didn't know a demo would be out on the 4th!!! So few games have demos these days that I assumed it wouldn't. That'll be a fun day. I'm looking forward to seeing how well it plays compared to #2

My biggest gripe with this game is the "rear-attack-trophy-kill" system. It looks like attacking anyone from behind gives an instant kill, thus giving the Xenomorph the biggest advantage due to its speed, and the Predator the best best due to cloaking (which doesn't hide the Predator from Xenos).

Basically your gunna get raped if you play as the marine in multiplayer.

Aye, I have my problems with that too. Perhaps it'll work out. Guess we'll have to try it and find out.

Otherwise it looks like another glaring weakness for the poor marines. Maybe they get nukes!
