Officially, Aliens vs Predator has been three years in the making, but according to deputy lead designer Andy Haith some of the team have been quietly working toward this for the best part of a decade ("making alien models in their spare time," he smiles). There is, of course, just something about these monsters; the way they exploit and represent myriad primal fears, the way they're jammed with Freudian symbolism. The way they look cool as they tear pathetic humans apart. They are, as all true elemental horrors are, totally transfixing.
In the first part of our series we took a look at the inception of horror games. Now we delve deeper and see how they evolved throughout the decades.
"Ever since Xbox One backward compatibility was announced, gamers have been asking for a few high-profile games. While the majority of requests revolve around the Call of Duty franchise, the Aliens and Sonic franchises have been other hot series. Today, Microsoft announced that Aliens vs. Predator, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Sonic Unleashed are now backward compatible."
Kingdoms of Amalur was brilliant. Never did get a sequel because all the crap that happened after with the IP.
It looks as though the 2010 first person shooter, Aliens vs Predator might become a Xbox Backwards Compatible title soon based on its revamped Xbox Store product page.
Been playing the shit out of it on PS3. Hopefully this gives the game another lease of life. Such an underrated game imho.
This game should have more hype really
