New AVP gameplay video
January 28th, 2010 by Jeff
Hat-tip to Teen*Idol for posting this link in the forum. A new gameplay video from the upcoming AVP game. I know there’s been some concern about how good this title will be when it actually comes out. This footage looks pretty cool.

Notice they cut when the Predator is about to kill the soldier. Maybe too gory?

I’m impressed. It looks better then I thought it would. I hope Saga does as good of a job has Sierra did

Why does the Predator see in “regular” vision?
I read an early look at this game and the reviewer said it was ridiculously gory. Like borderline make mothers angry, gory.

While it’s flavorful in a movie to show the Predator seeing the world in infra-red (or whatever it’s supposed to be) I think it would be pretty yucky to play a video game entirely through that visual filter.
FZR said:
Yeah if he saw in infrared the whole game I have a feeling it will be like virtual boy for me all over again hours with everything having a red hue to the need for a stronger eye glasses prescription. It all ends badly if he has predator sight threw the whole game.
I hope its make moms angry gory…

I always liked in Predator 2 when he goes through all sorts of different light spectrums. It could have been cool to do something like that and giving the human characters some sort of defense against heat, etc.
Just seems like the heat vision won’t be very powerful if you can see the humans just fine without it.
Jeff said:
I think I remember some sequence in Resident Evil 4, back on the GameCube, where there was a certain monster that you had to turn on a heat-vision scope and then shoot certain weak points on its body that appeared through the scope. As a sequence, that was great – it was a puzzle/challenge to use that special vision to fight that monster.

The problem with the Predator is that in past games he just feels so underpowered. They always have to dumb him down. I think if they would have chosen to do the different spectrums, sure it would have made it much more difficult to play as the Predator and maybe not as “fun”, but that’s the type of character that is sort of built for “hardcore” gamers only. Giving the Predator all of his gadgets and weapons, but forcing players to have to “see” the game in a different way to utilize him properly would have been much more interesting, I think. And once a player did get good using a Predator, you’d know that there would certainly be a more deadly challenge in an online mode.
Ah well.

hell, even in the old avp pc games the predator had a normal vision mode. kinda have to have one, like frank said seeing in just that mode or his other funky looking visions would be headache inducing. no reason you couldnt just keep it in thermal mode if you wanted.
MaT said:
If I remember correctly, didn’t the old games have some sort of “thermal timer”. You couldn’t even keep it on if you wanted because it was just too much of an advantage. Same thing with the cloaking device.
I bet there would be a really small group of people that would really latch onto playing in that vision style. Would it be mainstream and popular, no, and would people bitch, yeah. But it would have been a bold design decision.
