Alien Vs Predator: First Impression (SP)

[HookeyStreet]

pretty much completed the marine campaign, done the xenomorph, predator is half way done, is was expecting it to be a lot longer than just a simple one sitting till complete game. It could of been a hell of a lot betterlike i said in my previous post. Maybe they ended up rushing it out in the end i dont know, but if they'd taken a lot more time to fix up a lot of the bugs, test the controls properly and get them sorted and maybe get lots of people to test the campign they'd of been able to make it better.

I get what you mean now. Yeah, I agree, its not very long, but I still think its a pretty good game......maybe thats because Im an huge Alien/Predator fan?

lol 'early' release i wonder where thats from.............LOL

I could tell you..........but then I would have to kill you

exscuse me?

Can you force AA in CCC without having DX11, to me having AA as DX11 only is stupid, for how long now have games been using AA? And why is there no god damned DX10 mode! tis silly really, more people have dx10 cards than dx11, then again more people have dx9 cards than both 10 and 11 combined. I think they should have AA open to all 3 versions.

Also, im starting to like the marine campaign, all though the music is VERY off and the smart gun sound is stupid.

I havent played this game yet. It looks tempting. But it has a lot of bad reviews I guess is because of the three campaigns that need to be so different controls look feel etc. I bet that that the game was going to have higher scores if they focused only on one campaign. But than again it would not be AVP.

 

[Dyno]

How does the DX11 look on it for the 5800/5900 owners?

 

[Stonesour767]

take it this way r9, it's like, the latest Alone in the dark, bad reviews, yet i loved that game, mind you its soundtrack was absolutely astonishing, best soundtrack ive EVER heard, so much i got the whole album : D it's a decent game, just, its got too many things wrong with it.

+1 PLEASE! rofl! Screenshots don't report front line account of dx11 in full motion! thoughts thoughts thoughts... !

 

[KieX]

Go back one page and look at Shevanel's post. DX11 described and one screenshot which I'm sure he must have used his 5870 for.

Although more screenshots are welcome
Any chance of DX9/DX11 comparisson screenies?

 

[Morgoth]

dx11 aa1 af 16 other settings maxium
70 fps maxium
1680x1050

when i turned aa to maxium my fps caped at 45fps
it could be that the temp of the cpu is lowering my fps, i fix this when iget my new tim

Dont worry, we still have this to look forward too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens:_Colonial_Marines

I love the game with a single 5870 @ stock speeds and a i5 @3.6 and 4gigs of memory @ 1440Mhz I am getting on Average 45 to 63 FPS on a 1920x1080 24 inch screen. If I had to estimate constant FPS on AVG I would say Maxed DX11 around 52 FPS. So for me it runs really well!
The visuals are stunning and the game play is alright although I haven't played online yet so we will see with that. I have played through the Marine part and am half way through the Alien part will report back when completed all.
But so far two thumbs up!

I will add on to my comments now. I just finished the Alien section of the game. One thing I like about it is that it intertwines with the marine section of the game. I am sure that the predator section will as well.
As far as the game play on the Alien section well.... the idea is great! You can transition from wall to floor to roof. The vision coming from the Alien is a little like looking through a bottle glass, but you get used to it very quickly. Surviving in the Alien form is a little bit harder than surviving in Marine form.
But there are problems..... playing as the Alien seems to have some bugs. Like for instance going from the floor to a wall is buggy at times.... not a smooth transition at all at times. Also Killing people is a lot harder. Not just because you are the Alien but because there where several times I hit the Marine I was trying to kill but missed them because of a minor glitch in the game. But while there are problems they are not big enough to cause you a head ache. Also one more problem I found is in the first part of the Ruins campaign when you have to shut down the electric fence. Well were you start out is perched on a tree and there is a path way directly behind you. Well the path is not supposed to be accessible..... it's supposed to be there just for show. Well I was able to access it and then fall off the edge of the world. Which was a weird feeling experience that made me have to quite the game in order for it to stop! I also notice that the vents you are supposed to enter in and out of when you are the Alien are at times not labeled very well. It is hard to understand at times where you have to go.
Again the visuals and Graphics are great. So much so that the statement made by Sega saying that it will definitely separate consoles from PC is true. Now while I do say that and there definitely is a gap now...... it is still not as big of a gap as I would like. Sure if you are a hardcore gamer like me and want ever little advantage you can then it's worth it. But to go run out and buy a 5870 for it just for this game is not worth it! But it does also give me confidence that it will only get better as time goes on! So in that aspect I have great faith in Tessellation and DX11!

The second part of the game while I am still in love with it I would only give 1 and a half thumbs up. While the concept is great and so are the visuals ..... it also is buggy. But I am sure as time goes on.... they will make it better with updates!

I still can't wait to see the predator part! Also would like to add I got about the same frame Rates as I did playing the Alien that I did when I was playing the Marine.

Hope I am helping anyone considering buying the game. So far If I had to buy it all over again I would! Will finish my idea's when I am done with the Predator section

I can't believe IGN gave this game a 5.5 on graphics and Bioshock 2 a 9.0(that game looks like dirt), I think this game looks great and deserved a lot more then 5.5.

Yeah 5.5 is a BS rating! 7.5 at the very least.

 

[assaulter_99]

I know why, either the game looks like sh*t (which is unlikely if I believe you) or they didn't pay for advertisement! rofl.

 

[shevanel]

hasnt crashed once for me. everytime i open the game it opens and runs flawless. it's never crashed so I don't know what to tell you guys.

im probably a bigger fan of batman than i am aliens or predator and I like this game alot more than I liked batman:AA

I have never had this game crash either except for once which is a total glitch that you can even get into that area. I agree fro the most part a fairly stable game!

You kidding I would have put Bioshock 2 @ 7.5 and AVP up around 9.5 if not even better. The game looks awesome! IMO looks almost as good as the visuals from Crysis one... and it was able to accomplish that with a lot less shitty coding! Runs a lot better.

Also BIOSHOCK 2 was a much better looking game that BIOSHOCK one. Sure they were made using the same techniques but IMO it looks a lot cleaner. Especially used in conjunction with Super AA from the CCC. Coul be just me thinking this but the water affect in BIOSHOCK 2 Were better than the first especially in two parts..... when the big sister breaks the window and floods the hall in the beginning and when you are also out strolling through the open ocean,,,,with all the particles floating around.

Anyway the people who rate these games I think just want something to complain about!

 

[shevanel]

they released a statement today concerning dedicated servers. the free download should be listed under tools within the next few days. they also mentioned an update that should come out at the same time to fix a few bugs and issues with MP

 

[domy85]

Yeah the graphics are way better than 5.5 rofl, what were they smokin? I would say an 8-9. I also never had the game crash, its your pc.

 

[Stonesour767]

graphics are brilliant but i dont liek the look of the humans, they look a tad, cartoony, like how the humans looked in FEAR 2 it's almost as if FEAR 2 and AVP are on the same engine. My other concern is how shiny the aliens are, in all the filsm they seem to be more matte than shiny.

I think it was just the xeno campaign that spoiled it for me, the marine one didnt have a great ending or middle part and didn't really have a storyline but the predator one seems to be alright at the mo.

I finished the predator and alien story line and so far predator wins by far. Going to start the Human one tonight. Funny thing is that I first completed the predator story, then went to the alien and it played the map backwards which was lame, but it wasnt too horrible. Would of prefered a different map unless im missing something here. I played them all on easy, but the alien could of been played on hard and still been easy. Im guessing the Human will be more challenging of course. Predator was pretty challenging in some parts.

Playing ANY game on EASY = ghey (sorry, no disrespect to you)

I always start on Normal.

 

[Stonesour767]

same hookey, also domy, you will find that every level of the game is re-used, you will see places in the marine campaign that appear in both of the others.


Forgot to mention that i just completed the predator campaign, all three done, i wish that there was so much more, the campaigns could of been brilliant.

You probably right. I will play human on normal. Would of probably made the game a little more challenging for alien and even more predator.

Yeah seems like there should be alot more to the game. Multiplayer should be super fun. Atleast I hope.

 

[Stonesour767]

Been playing multiplayer a little, it's kinda generic, the quick match system seems to be a tad lame, I thought they said they'd have dedicated servers!



we have to get a couple of guys doing the co-op survival, it's awesome! just got 65 kills before i got over run. I've turned down the gamma and you can barely see the aliens scurrying about.

Add me on steam if you wanna play, my names same as TPU name
