GP: Can you talk us through the game's setting?
Dave: The game is set about 30 years on from Alien 3. So essentially we're dealing with the future of the universe created by Ridley Scott, James Cameron and David Fincher in the first 3 Alien films. The Weyland-Yutani corporation, spearheaded by Karl Bishop Weyland (played by Lance Henriksen), is still a powerful force in the galaxy. On a remote W-Y colony on planet BG-386 the ruins of a lost Predator civilisation are discovered."
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.
