Hey guys, Joker here with a game that will be coming out within a year or so on all systems! Here is some information:

Trailer:

I personally don't think this game looks jaw-dropping, especially when compared to Call of Duty, but it definitely looks, sounds, and hopefully actually is interesting.

I imagine this game will appeal to those of you who are fans of the Alien series, Predator series, or the Alien VS Predator series. Now, after watching this video, I really don't have that high of expectations for this game, and to be completely honest, it really doesn't look like the kind of game that will awe you. To me, it looks almost like a horror/action, kind of like what Dead Space was, never knowing what is gonna pop out at you around the corner. I dug up some information on this game and the original one that so many people hope it will be like.

Information on Alien VS Predator: Marines
The ability to play as Aliens, Marines, or Predators. Sounds pretty pimp to me, I've always wanted to play as a Predator!
SEGA is currently working on SEVEN, yes 7, Alien titles RIGHT now, so quality could be killed, unless they take their time.
Expected to release early 2010, being an "reinvention of multiplayer gaming's most cherished iconic titles". This here made me dig into the original Alien VS Predator(released 1999), so as to have more of an idea what to expect with this game:

Information dug up on Aliens versus Predator:
The ability to play as Aliens, Colonial Marines, or Predators.
Each player character has different objectives, abilities, and weapons. The single-player campaign presents the player with a conventional series of levels to progress through that are designed around the abilities of each character.

As the Colonial Marine the player uses a number of weapons to combat Aliens and Predators. The marine wears armor for protection and uses an image intensifier and flares to improve visibility in dark areas.

When playing as the Predator the player uses a variety of weapons from the Predator films such as wrist blades, a throwing disc, and shoulder-mounted energy weapons. The Predator is the most durable of the three player characters and can survive falls from greater heights than the human. The player can use a cloaking device to become invisible and several different modes of vision to detect enemies, including an infrared vision mode and a mode sensitive to electrical systems.

As an Alien the player can explore most of the game's environments freely, even climbing across walls and ceilings. The Alien has no weapons, however, using its claws, tail, and jaws to attack enemies. The screen is distorted into a fish-eye lens effect to reflect the Alien's field of view. The player can also use a form of echolocation in dark areas and can detect pheromones to discern human or Predator enemies. The Alien can drop from any height without injury and is the fastest of the three player characters.

A number of other unlockable game modes are hidden throughout the game. These include "supergore mode" in which much more blood is emitted from wounds, "pigsticker mode" in which the Predator's speargun has a much higher rate of fire, "John Woo mode" in which the in-game action slows down when there is more on-screen activity, and "sniper munch mode" in which the Alien can perform its jaw attack from any distance.

The game was very well received by critics. The game received an "impressive" 8 out of 10 on IGN, being praised for allowing you to play three different characters, each with a unique game-play element, and for being "fun and terrifying at the same time". GamePro reviewed the game 4 out of 5, citing the lack of a save feature as a major flaw, but praising the "splendid graphics, perfect sound effects, multiple vision modes, and ambiance" and citing it as "the most frightening game since Half-Life". The Adrenaline Vault gave the game 4 out of 5, citing the lack of depth in the story as a major flaw but praising the immersive atmosphere describing a moment of being attacked by a facehugger in the game as being "in these moments...the greatest game I had ever played". Inside Mac Games website gave the game another 8 star rating.

Based off of this info, if they do make this game close to a recreation of the original, I really see this being a very amazing game.

Who else will be getting it, because I know I will!

Yeah, I laughed hard when I read that they thought that HL2 was scary. I'll admit it, all of my info was copied and pasted from Wikipedia, so,

So have I, but I never have, and certainly hope I don't, ever refer to something as John Woo mode.

I'm a huge fan of Predator and Aliens, so this seems promising. Wasn't this game canceled though? I'm not sure of that information, or maybe they just pushed it back.

Syndrome-X

I think there was a write up in a Game Informer about this game, a couple months ago.
I thought it was pushed back.

It does look very cool. I am a HUGE Alien/Predator fan.

And I can not imagine if they are working on SEVEN different Alien titles at once. Really???

It was preety bad lol

(R7D)J0lK3lR

The original game was awesome! It took a while to get through it, but it was still fun IMO,

Anyways, this game is still going as far as I know, and it is very much possible that it was pushed back, seeing as the developers are working on so many of the titles right now. It's obnoxious, but whatever,

Well has anyone played this yet?

K-Mart was selling this and a handfull of newer titles for $30 brand new so i picked it up. I'm on the marine part right now and it's pretty cool. The only thing i can complain about it is the fact that you can't duck or like down the sight of your gun. COD really got me used to that.
