You’d imagine that the beat-to-death first person shooter genre would have nothing left to give gamers at this point. However, after the recent success of Modern Warfare 2, the format appears to be buying itself even more time with this February’s Aliens vs. Predator title.
The most recent news from the game’s developer, Rebellion, is that the title is receiving a unique three-way multiplayer system, born of the games three factions – Predators, Aliens and Marines (like the original game). The game aims to stay true to the darker roots of each property, both visually and aesthetically. So true actually, that it was previously reported by joystiq that the game may not see a release in Germany because of it!
Although fans of the franchise will be happy to see all of high tech weapons they know and love, I personally am hoping for an Aliens style Loader complete with pinchers and a plasma cutter. Check out the trailer below which includes developer commentary!
