Somewhere Gearbox is shitting their pants

I don't really like literal remakes, I find them a waste of time. A reimagining on the other hand can be pretty cool! If you're not gonna change/improve anything, why make it at all! (Well ok the graphics have improved...)

So because it's a copy of something it's fine and you don't consider that mediocre level design anymore? I fail to see the logic there

I never said it's fine. It just can't blame them for a literal remake.

dux, i think he was referring to it being crappy back then. i don't have an opinion about this because i'm boring and grey and a conformist

I personally enjoyed monolith's AVP2 far more than the first one...

Well, AvP2 was more of a game, if that makes sense. AvP1 was more of a terrifying experience, I mean it really was fucking scary.

I cant remember playing avp1, but I remember being scared shitless by avp2.

I mean the first part is just pure atmosphere, not aliens or anything. Just the sounds... I still remember finally getting out of the base where I have been freaking out because of that ping sound from my gun and then hearing that infernal predator scream. *shudders*

Didn't avp1 have like a horde mode where aliens just spawn forever and you just had to last for as long as you could. I'm pretty sure I recall doing this at 350ms via mplayer.

yep that's the level I remember. I didn't play it much because good god mplayer was balls but i remember it being terrifying and awesome.

Never finished the first one because it was very difficult and you couldn't save anytime you wanted. Although they did add that later through a patch. But yes, the game was scary. The second one however, was even scarier imo. The tension in the marine campaign was unbelievable. I remember finding the smartgun, walking through a corridor already nervous and the gun suddenly locks on something running from right to left. Of course you couldn't see it, because it was a cloaked predator. That's just one of many moments. Probably one of the scariest games I've played.

Yeah I do agree AVP1 still looks good, and I personally found it a lot scarier than AVP2, but the latter was a pretty scary game as well. The first one just felt so cold and rough, you were thrown in the shithole and it was perfect in that regard.

If that horde mode was avp1, then that was the game I played. So much fun were had.

I loved the part where you morphed into an alien if you got killed and then had to fight your former team mates.
