Aliens Vs Predator PS4, Xbox One game desire.
By Alan Ng - Jul 10, 2014.
With all of the excitement around Alien Isolation at the moment, we have noticed that there has been an increased demand to see a return of the Aliens Vs Predator franchise.
The less said about the movies the better, but in terms of gaming Aliens Versus Predator from Rebellion back in 1999 is still considered to be one of the best Aliens and Predator games ever made on PC.
As a result, we wouldn’t mind seeing the team come back together on a new game for PS4, Xbox One and PC and it looks like Rebellion would love to make the game as well if given the chance.
In a recent interview with DSOGaming, Rebellion’s Head of Programming Kevin Floyer-Lea had this to say on the possibility of a new game happening in the future.
“Here at Rebellion we’ve got a particularly strong attachment to the AvP universe, so it could happen. So personally I’d love to see an AvP game with fully procedurally generated levels, where you literally never know what’s around the next corner.”
Although some of the more recent Aliens Vs Predator titles haven’t proved to be as successful down the years, we would still love to see another game on next-gen hardware.
The PS3 and Xbox 360 game that we played a few years ago came up short ultimately, but with Alien Isolation looking so promising, we still feel that the Aliens and Predator series can still deliver the goods if the right team is attached to it.
Imagine if the likes of Rocksteady came out and said that their next game after Arkham Knight would be Aliens Vs Predator – we doubt anyone would object to that at all.
If you remain a fan of the franchise at heart, let us know what you would need to see in order to put your faith behind another game. Simply put, what wouldn’t you want to see from a new Aliens Vs Predator game?
would love another aliens vs predator game but for multiplayer I would love to see more aliens than marines or predators to give the feel there are lots of them as in the movies xenomorphs flood the place then just a marine campaign but with 4 player co-op make it a rather long campaign and big maps aswell but not much to do other than survive find amo and get to the objective like rescue colonists or something that would make for an awesome story.
plz plz plz AVP 2010 was one of my favorite games the first person for all spices was awesome and super fun an intense but mabe bigger maps and some customization and coloring.
Pls remake the Avp 2010 with more and better qualities and aliens are faster preadtors are harder to see and humans need more guns and need to be carefull.
Multiplayer is key not enough games about now where me and my mate can just chill out for couple of hours.
Unless linked on different devices which ain’t the same keep old skool multilayers alive keep them interaction .
I wish I could design this game lol. Make the multiplayer maps much bigger. Mote in depth campaign system. Tweak the SFX so the match sound like they are suppose to and I would love to see like a character customization type deal, like the had in halo reach so you can make your predator, alien or marine look like how you want it and add in a lot more game modes to the multiplayer. I would also like to see in the campaign, that each species storyline intersect at one point and decisions in campaign area will have grave consequences in another. Also gorier (idk if that’s a word lol) execution moves and silent kills. Also maybe and option to counter and execution maybe ik. But it is very feasible to make a great avp game for next gen consoles and pc.
I just want aliens vs colonial marines on ps4 or Xbox 1 owned all on that game weather playing as human or alien I got 34+ kill streaks on 360 every time and I miss it.
Open world multiplayer all in one big city taken over by aliens. Marines have bases to stay safe from aliens but aliens and/or predators can still attack the bases and break in. And obviously still choose to be marine, alien or predator. All or atleast most buildings accessible even big 20 story buildings. Marines get cars and travel in big groups outside the base and can make the base bigger if they can hold down part of the city from other players(aliens). For aliens an predators, when talking through game chat to other aliens, they can hear you but predators or humans only hear the alien noise. The same with predators. When an alien dies, they respawn as a face grabber and attach to an ai and control the ai and even walk into the base unnoitced till the alien pops out and continue as the alien or can attach to a player and the player has a certain amount of time to get the alien removed or else they die.
Well this is just my idea of a new avp game. I know quite a lot of people might not like this idea but hope some would also want a game like this.
I would LOVE to see an updated PREDATOR game in the likes of Concrete Jungle, but different. An action RPG elemented game where you design your Yautja, and start as a young unblooded member of the clan. You travel to various worlds and hunt EVERYTHING, from dinos to weird alien species, sometimes solo, sometimes with your hunting pack. You can earn upgrades and new gear based on your honor and performance. However dishonor (killing non lethal life forms) can bring trouble from your peers, banishment, or death, where they label you “Bad Blood” and strand you on a planet and hunt you! Eventually you can gain enough Honor and Prestige to lead your own hunting party, get your own ship, and become a tribal elder. World maps can range from prehistoric jungle to volcanic deserts, and everything in between. Incorporate a galactic map aboard ship to set your course for the next hunt, along with a trophy room, training room, burial or honor the fallen room, and a room to talk with predators from your hunting party. Throw in ALIENS and COLONIAL MARINES as a species available for hunting, and random map drops. Think AVP:EXTINCTION meets PREDATOR:CONCRETE JUNGLE, with graphics and playabilty like Assassins Creed:Black Flag or Batman Arkham series or Mad Max. Now that’s a game i’d lose alot of sleep on!
I sooo love your idea. I hope some game developer / designer or someone takes note of what you have just said as that would make for one hell of an Awesome game. Yautja are awesome! 😀 .. With your permission I will pass your idea onto a few developers! ..
I want the same kind of multiplayer as the PS3 version it was the best. I loved the fact you could play all three different characters marine, predator, or alien. Also, as a extreme avp fan having the toys as a kid and owning all the movies. This game really personified what us fans were looking for. I was very distraught when the avp servers got shut down. Avp was the reason I got a PS3. Now I own a ps4 I would give anything to have that game for my ps4 exactly as it was. I was an alien player this my gamertag and nickname Queen. If you are gonna do this please don’t do it like colonial marines. Keep it first person and like the 1999 PS3 version. Ps maybe you could add a face hugger kill as one of the grab attacks on multiplayer. 😆😄
Mybe not so much profanity in the up coming game.
And watch the movies for the diffrent style of kills with there character.
Plz add difrent kilking styles with the preds like how the diffrent the masks were there shoulda been some diffrent take downs for example predator cuts there head clean off spears them in a wall, alein same cut there head off, marine shoves a granade down there throught or knifes them and also allowing us a chance from being killed on the takedown or grabed from behide causeing the kill train.
plz make it i love the 2010 avp game.
Got no problem with rebellion having another shot but do not want Sega or any other publisher involved let them make and publish the game then they can do what they see fit with no other company involved fox and rebellion would make alot of cash.avo 2010 only problem was not enough because support was canned after a very short time so its segas fault the game never had chance to grow into something more the only aliens game that let me down was colonial marines proving to me that rebellion and creative assembly are the only ones that should be making games in the future unless epic games the gears of war creators get to have a go.
2010 had the best looks, trophy kills and gameplay ever. Yet I hated the online community thinking of you as a coward player, say you were a pred, if you used plasma instead of fist fight. No. The nature of preds is true hunters. Maybe they would do an omage fist fight before finishing you off, but they would kill you in an instant anyway they would like. The game is hunt-kill. Online players should always percieve it as a death-match whatever the case. If shot by plasma, then you are dead. Be more careful next time. It’s how it is. If they ask you to only fist-fight to enjoy more the killing, then maybe the producer of the game should make that clear as an option in the beginning. I am not good at fist-fight. Then I could enter a game mode that allows use of all weapons by defenition. Likewise, say l like fist-fighting, l choose a different game mode that strips you off of some or all of other weapons and here you go enjoy. But the game modes should be designed as such and not being limited by unwritten agreements between online players.
That wasn’t it Markos I am a alien player only and we are at a very big disadvantage to predators for the simple fact they have flying projectiles that ( not saying your one of these) a kidnergartner could use to spam on the other players and where is the fairness in that. They give you other moves for a reason. As an alien I could stay in a cave and keep wall tailing or ceiling tailing people but what kind of skill does that show for me nothing so the whole just use your fists thing is because people were spamming weapons by staying in their invisible cloak and shooting people.
They need to make the aliens much quicker than the predator. The odds were stacked in the predators favour too much on multiplayer with it being very hard to see the predator with the alien at times. Also bring back overrun and the ‘pounce’ ability from the original PC game. And set limits for each species in a team deathmatch. For instance, there should be a squad of marines, a handful of aliens and 1 or 2 predators. Not loads of predators and aliens running around wildly with the 1 or 2 marines.
Im playing avp on 360 now.. im optimistic about a current gen release.
I would love to see a comeback to the alien vs predator games to the new consoles, preferably Xbox one. The game from 2010 was amazing and I don’t see how people can dislike such a great game. Many people are attached and still go back to play it, including me. I would love to have a game on Xbox one closely made to the 2010 game but with minor changes such as, you can customize your species, mask, armor, skin, dreads, and colo . Along with other variations for the alien but also javeing preset skins. If they do make a game I would love to see multiplayer just similar to the current but with more playable maps. I really wish they would create a next gen alien vs predator game…
avp 2010 is a brilliant game on ps3 why there’s a lot of people who don’t like it don’t make sense to me I agree with Jacob and Dylan chop chop rebellion cant wait for another adrenaline fueled chaos game there should have been a update for the first but still fun regardless I would like to see predators close up executions look more revolting in a new game though saying that the ones in avp 2010 did impress me excellent gore for both aliens good graphics as a whole. for the new avp if they make one free roam into jungles and into city passes would be good as well as keeping the original game matches in avp 2010. they should make so predator can climb sky scrapers like in avp 2 film I could write on here for hours on end for ideas for the next avp game but aint got all day/year lol.
Think about it like this, a game where you can choose alien or predator. Become your choice, in an open world(s) you can do quests, level up your character, maybe customize your character a little, upgrade your armor, weapons, and abilities. Possibly have some evolve thing that allows your character to change into an evolved form. For an alien they could change into that queen or king type deal. For a predator, they could evolve into that big version like from the newest movie predator that came out in 2010. I know you something about not mentioning the movies but just think about how cool running around with your friends as an alien or predator doing bounties or even fight each other in team death matches as alien and predator. And for people without internet make a. Campaign type deal kind like borderlands or skyrim where people without internet can still enjoy the game. P.S. You could also do a spilt screen like borderlands.
When playing as a predator, you should have the ability to switch through different visions for thermal, instead of the clear, green and heat, for example the predator 2 movie, the predator had 10 different visions, and oh yeah the open world thing would be sweet and have different seasons and make the kill cams deadly and gory.
Open world. Be the alien or predator in an open world.
Avp 2010 was a good game just felt abit rushed that’s all given more time I think rebellion would have nailed it I for one welcome them giving it another go but don’t let Sega have a say let rebellion release what ever they want for it and if an update needs doing let them do it.I enjoyed the marine campaign but was just a tad too short and would have been better with more on screen enemies and 4 player co-op would make a good experience.
Add what the original predator characters had, like one blade rather than two on both sides.
Create your own predator, color of skin, hair, armor, mask, how tall or short, skinny or big, thin or muscular. Same goes with if you are playing with an alien or a human.
play as the alien queen, ellen ripley, dutch, mac, billy, Alien Chestburster, Facehugger, dog alien, machiko naguchi.

Aliens vs. Predator Review.
This return to a beloved series is brutal enough, but it doesn't pack the punch of its forebears.
by Kevin VanOrd on Feb 15, 2010 09:00 AM.
When three mediocre games are jammed into a single package, the result is still mediocre. That's unfortunate, because Aliens vs. Predator is a game you want to love. It comes from the developer of the beloved first game in the AVP series, and like that game, it features three distinct campaigns with three somewhat differing styles of play. And of course there is the undeniable fact that predators and aliens are awesome, and the idea of controlling them in a game is just as awesome. But concept and nostalgia aren't enough to make Aliens vs. Predator worth playing, though certain moments will make you squirm in delight in spite of the game's noteworthy flaws. Sadly, the sight of the predator as he rips the spine out of his human victims is a short-lived joy because of the general clumsiness that invades almost every aspect of developer Rebellion's newest addition to the franchise. The recycled levels are poorly designed, control issues make playing as the alien a chore rather than a pleasure, and numerous minor defects weigh the whole experience down. Most importantly, Aliens vs. Predator's campaigns just aren't much fun, and while the multiplayer is somewhat better, it's unlikely to be your go-to online shooter.
Aside from its storied history, Aliens vs. Predator's main appeal is its three disparate campaigns, in which you respectively take control of a marine, an alien, and a predator. Each campaign has its strengths and starts well enough. The first two levels of the marine story, which plays as a fairly typical first-person shooter, are dark and creepy, making good use of atmospheric lighting to enhance the tension. Your first encounter with a creepy-crawly xenomorph is properly nerve-racking and will have you searching about in the dark, using your handy motion tracker to try to figure out exactly where it is (while trying to bear with the tracker's incessant beeping). Playing as the alien, your escape from the confines of a laboratory features some good old-fashioned bloody head-chomping, and there is some short-lived fun in crawling all over the walls and ceilings. And the predator offers his own delights. It can be fun to leap from surface to surface while you gaze down at hapless marines as they stroll underneath and you prepare for a gloriously disgusting kill.
But in each campaign, the thrill wears off quickly when you discover that Aliens vs. Predator botches a lot of the basics, and what seems thrilling at first becomes downright tedious as you struggle with poorly designed levels and gawky gameplay. For example, the dark thrills of the first marine levels give way to tedium once you leave the dark behind and enter jungles and temples, which are far less interesting and make shooting the grotesque xenomorphs no different from shooting up raptors in Turok--except that the levels are much more confined and straightforward. Eventually, you'll learn that the same trick in combat dispatches aliens almost every time: block their attack, smash them with a melee attack, and shoot them when they're down. This doesn't work when there are a lot of them, but it gets the job done more often than not. That doesn't mean the marine campaign is a cakewalk; some levels feature annoying choke points or give you too little room to maneuver, which makes certain sections feel more cheap than challenging.
Come 'ere and give me a big sloppy kiss.
The alien campaign is interesting at first, thanks to a number of cool abilities that are initially fun but ultimately can't compensate for some major mechanical malfunctions. For instance, it seems fun at first to crawl around on walls and ceilings, until the awkward controls suck all the pleasure out of it. You are supposed to hold the right trigger to scamper onto a wall, but in actuality, there's no consistency to wall- and ceiling-climbing. You'll crawl onto some walls and outcroppings willy-nilly whether or not it's what you intended to do. You'll try to activate one of the game's super-picky button prompts and jump onto a wall instead, or wrestle with the controls and camera trying to do something as simple as slither into a vent. You'll eventually learn to wield some control over the alien's fickle movement, but even then, moving around isn't all that enjoyable. You never feel in control of an actual creature; instead, it's as if you are floating just above the ground.
Sadly, the troublesome movement gets in the way of your sneaky attacks. It can be mild fun to get in position above an unsuspecting marine and pounce, but the unwieldy movement and haphazard level design make it much more enjoyable just to stay on the ground. For example, you might try to pounce from a wall onto a passing victim, only for a beam to get in the way and cause you to drop right in front of your enemy without doing a bit of damage. Yet as clunky as it gets, you'll have fun when everything comes together in just the right way. Playing as the alien is all about hit-and-run tactics, speeding close to your prey or ambushing him, and either taking him out with a swipe of your powerful tail or speeding away if the action heats up. Executing a well-planned attack can be fulfilling, though the game doesn't create many such moments, leaving you to make them of your own accord.
Like the alien, the predator relies on stealth to be most effective, and to that end, you can go invisible-ish and lead enemies to a designated spot by distracting them. You need to suspend your disbelief when distracting marines; they respond to your vile grunts with a cheerful quip like "I'm on my way," as if they heard a friendly call for help rather than the disgusting growls of a stalking menace. But the distractions are helpful, letting you position yourself just right to pull off one of Aliens vs. Predator's beautifully brutal trophy kills. You yank your foe's head and spine right out of his body, stare into his terrified eyes, and stroke the dangling bit of anatomy. It's gross in all the right ways and is the most satisfying aspect of the game's single-player experience. You commit similar atrocities as the alien, the best of which provide a terrific view of your victim's horrific end--from inside your own mouth.
Upside down… Boy you turn me inside out.
Unfortunately, irritating mechanical and level design limits yank all the fun out of scurrying around (in the case of the alien) and leaping from one destination to the next (in the case of the predator). Some levels require you to move about only in ways the developer intended. You might want to scamper up and over an obstacle, only to run into an invisible wall or ceiling; and as the predator, you can leap to certain surfaces but not to others for reasons that don't always make sense. Why can you leap 20 feet to one spot, while you can't hop over a six-inch barbed-wire fence? There just don't seem to be any consistent rules in place, which makes the act of simply moving from place to place feel sloppy and unsatisfying. The inconsistencies apply to the AI as well. Enemy humanoids will do incredibly stupid things like take cover on the wrong side of a wall, exposing their backs to you. Sometimes, their ability to notice you even when you're camouflaged borders on the magical; other times, they're all but oblivious to your presence from two inches away. Civilians even run into the corner and cower with their backs to you in the alien campaign, clearly waiting to be harvested rather than making an authentic attempt to escape. Intelligence just isn't Aliens vs. Predator's strong suit.
The marine campaign avoids some of these pratfalls, instead falling victim only to its own lack of ambition. After the first excellent levels, the lights get turned on and rarely go off, and everything becomes tepid and ordinary. It turns out to be just another everyday shooter checking off the old cliches; like in so many other shooters, you're a rookie learning the ropes, guided by the voice of an unseen comrade, a device the game loves so much, it uses it twice. You would think that boss fights would increase the energy levels, and a battle that ends in a boss engulfed in flames hits exactly the right notes. Unfortunately, none of the other boss battles, from the easily exploited final boss of the marine campaign to the final battle of the predator portion, feel fierce or intense. That's too bad, because the story, while not exactly groundbreaking, does its best to establish some tension, and much of the voice acting is grand and dramatic. The alien and predator campaigns are less interested in narrative, but the viciousness of your actions and a few delicious cutscenes tell a tale nonetheless.
In this level, you shoot things.
The game's online features are much more promising, for while they still suffer from some of the campaign's mechanical weaknesses, there's some pure fun to be had when you mix marines, predators, and aliens together. Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch give you a chance to mess with each species' strengths and weaknesses, and they successfully incorporate aspects of the single-player game, such as the energy nodes that predators use to keep their plasma casters charged. The game's sense of clumsiness hovers over matches, but it's still satisfying to play as a marine and successfully fend off a scurrying xenomorph as he moves in for the kill, even when the super-sticky targeting removes some of the edge from your victory. In Infestation, one player starts as the alien and converts his marine foes into fellow xenomorphs, while Predator Hunt is an advanced version of tag in which one player begins as the predator and seeks to make another player "it." These modes are the most fun, partially because they embrace the differences between species, rather than trying to incorporate them into something more traditional. The game even includes its own take on the ever-popular "kill off waves of enemies" co-op mode, here called Survivor. Survivor is not as exciting as what you'd find in similar modes in Gears of War 2 and Halo 3: ODST, but the two maps you play on capture some of the creepiness that characterizes the first two chapters of the marine campaign.
It's the little things that really drag the game down. Aliens vs. Predator seems to be a well-meaning attempt at reinvigorating a languishing series, but grotesque kills and some entertaining multiplayer moments don't cut it--not when so many slick and exciting shooters are on store shelves, vying for your time. The attention to detail, the well-considered level design, and the sense of momentum that characterize the finest shooters are missing here. Aliens vs. Predator is sometimes enjoyable but never escapes an overwhelming sense of carelessness, so while it may remind you of the good old days, it fails to recapture them.
Aliens vs. Predator Review.
Where the multiplayer stumbles a bit is in the total of lack of expandability. I understand that there's a concern with balance, but the fact that you gain only new skins and no new abilities as you level up your character is a real drag. Couple that with a few questionable design decisions, like the whole game quitting when the host leaves or drops his connection, and the multiplayer package is slightly less attractive.
Where the adversarial play drops the ball, the cooperative mode known as Survival is right there to pick up the slack. You and up to three buddies can hop into a map and take on endless waves of Aliens. It's modeled after the many Horde-style modes that we've seen before, and it works quite well. But as with so much of what AVP offers, there is a fault. For whatever reason Rebellion decided to package only two co-op maps in the standard edition of Aliens vs. Predator, thus limiting your play experience significantly.
In case you haven't seen the trend developing in this review, for every positive note, there seems to be a negative one. There are next to no glaring issues – less a few unsightly bugs – but nearly everything in AVP is held back by one of its faults. Thankfully the overall experience is enjoyable, especially if you're a fan who has been disappointed by the movies, but it really could've benefited from some more time in development to give it that needed layer of polish.
Speaking of polish, nowhere is it needed more than in the visuals. While the marine campaign looks fine thanks to the closed-off corridors and poorly-lit spaces, it's when you see the wide-open space in the Predator's levels that things go awry. Texture work is bad with muddled surfaces and objects and the framerate, despite the lack of general detail, dips below the desired 30 frames per second all too often. The color palette is also very drab, despite most of the outdoor action taking place in a jungle with plenty of greens that could've brought things to life.
Though the visuals aren't stunning, the sound effects are quite impressive. Every sound that should be recognizable from the Alien and Predator worlds comes through just as you remember them. From the marine's machine guns to the Predator switching between different vision modes to the Alien's unpleasant hissing sound, it's all here. Sadly the voice acting, less Lance Henriksen as Weyland, is subpar. The story isn't all that good to begin with – nor does it need to be – but it's not aided by characters that lack emotion.
Aliens vs. Predator could have been a truly great game. It&#Array;s there, you can almost feel it, but it&#Array;s constantly ripped away from you because of some poor design decisions and a general lack of quality that keeps the game from having that triple-A feeling. It&#Array;s by no means a bad game and will almost certainly please fans more so than either movie effort, but when compared to other first-person shooter titles on the market, the difference is clear.

Alien vs. Predator.
The iconic monsters from two of the scariest film franchises ever battle each other on Earth in ALIEN VS. PREDATOR. The discovery of an ancient pyramid buried under the Antarctic ice sends a team of scientists and adventurers to the frozen continent. There, they make an even more terrifying discovery: two alien races at war. No matter who wins, we lose. An incredible and horrific adventure begins when billionaire industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland gathers an international team of archaeologists, scientists and security experts, led by environmentalist and adventurer Alexa “Lex” Woods, to investigate a mysterious “heat bloom” emanating from deep under Antarctica. What they witness 2000 feet below the frozen surface at first excites, and then terrifies them. They discover a pyramid bearing a mixture of Aztec, Egyptian and Cambodian cultures. Inside the pyramid they find a matrix of chambers so technologically advanced that it becomes obvious that an extraterrestrial influence has been at work there for thousands of years. The chamber walls reconfigure unexpectedly, trapping members of the team and cutting them off from their colleagues. Moving from chamber to chamber, the horrific truth finally reveals itself: Predators have been keeping alive a captive Alien Queen who lays eggs at 100 year intervals. Young Predators warriors are tested by fighting the Alien offspring. The team stumbles into the middle of an incredible rite of passage – and a war between Aliens and Predators.
