Aliens vs Predator

You mean you only just noticed?

[-HP-]

Yes, It's news for me...

I have to agree that most games (shooters only) are completely dumbed down because of the consoles.

LOL HP

I don't really know why I wrote this, as any early pc gamer, we all know this is the case. I have cooped with the fact that it is the way it is.

way too much retarded shit espoused in this thread.

talking about consoles dragging a PC game down is bullshit, rebellion develop games on pc, looking at the pc version and only fixing problems on the consoles - rather than designing for them. this is a big reason it looks like shit because they haven't actually bothered to play towards a certain consoles strengths.

look at MW2, looks great across all 3 platforms. why? because the developers aren't retards.

as for "the story couldn't be anything except blah blah" - take a look, again, at MW2. the story is ludicrous and frankly very loosely tied together - but it's presented in such a way that it becomes exciting and the content of the game becomes the story.

where rebellion lack is they cannot tell a convincing story; they cannot get past "move here, shoot these".

Damn bro... you're the necro master. 

But ah well, since you've dug the body, let's at least pay it's respects, here's an awesome behind the scenes with one of the dudes who worked on the thing. Such a classic.

Yeah, I wish they would revisit the franchise.  What I'd really like to see is another Monolith game in the universe. Rebellion might have come up with the foundation for the game, but Monolith really expanded on it with AvP2. I swear, sometimes I feel like picking up the old LithTech to make an AvP2 marine campaign...

There's this company called Cold Iron Studios that are working on a multiplayer aliens game. Curious to see how that will play out.

Still better use of lighting, atmosphere, design and immersion than most modern day titles.

Their back catalogue of games isn't very reassuring. Probably a mobile game or something.

"Currently, the team is working on a new PC and console shooter based on the Alien franchise"

I don't think that studio has made anything so far, maybe helped Fox on the side. I remember first seeing their job ads for the aliens game about 2 years ago. Apparently it's supposed to be some online shooter coming to PC as well as consoles if this source is true: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/67122/cold-iron-studios-ramps-up-new-aliens-mmo-shooter/index.html

With all the news about Aliens: Fireteam, I started to replay the last AvP from 2010 and I'm surprised by how well it still holds up visually, especially the aliens. Of course, I can't forgive the cardinal sin of having no crouch feature, but oh well... I guess that bar hologram makes up for it.

I haven't played this new one. However, this brought back the memories of playing AvP back during phone internet. I still remember playing a 1v1 against my cousin and my mother picking up the phone to make a call, only to see "connection lost" mid fight.
