Rebellion has some pretty funky physics and lighting built into our 3D games. In Aliens vs Predator we are throwing around thousands of polygons. The AMD-K6-2 processor has the floating-point power we need! In Aliens vs Predator some of our characters are made up of more than 3000 polygons and our water environments have over 7000 polygons. Rebellion will use the power that AMD's 3DNow! technology provides to make an even more compelling gaming experience."
In terms of modding, a GamesCom review on AvP2Daily.de mentions that the idea is still up in the air. Behind-the-scenes, they told them that modding stuff is planned for the PC. Eurogamer also mentions that the German version of AvP will be uncut when released in Germany. (Germany is very strict when it comes to video game censorship, apparently).

It certainly is strict mate...ridiculous really. the ammount of polygons being thrown around doesn't really interest me...it the lighting and the art direction that always grabs me first.....I think moddable content for p.c is pretty much a given at some point....if the game is good then it's gonna be very popular online

LOL....love these shaky cam vids...towards the end the blokes got out of the way and you could see a bit more....Looks like it plays pretty much the same as before....liked some of the tropdy kills...especially the tail in the eye =) there was one point where it looks like the Alien had a "focus" kill...the aura round the rine changed from normal green to a ripple effect and then the Alien pounced and did some sort of combo on the rine....looked cool and all. The headbite looked a bit shitty tho.

the way u see the tail as u run backwards is a cool effect and u can watch ya feet while u move around is kinda creepy. Sonic the hedgehog walkin by stole the scene for me.

cool video.. i like they fact that u see ur oponent threw the wall... the kill with a tail is pretty slow it's cool but not so good at MP when ur enemy shoots u. maybe u r going to run with a half dead body, u pounched, under the balets to the dark place where no one will find u and then, kill it so it is cool. headbit dissapoited me... but i think it was just a fast dysine for the presentation and wil change in future. i hope for good.

yeah..there was a "work in progress" message on the screen the whole time...and there's still plenty of time for things to be changed. that headbite was probably just a placeholder....I don't see the point of seeing the teeth when ur supposed to be looking out the eyes. You should see the "tongue" and second jaws, no more than that.
You know, I think there's gonna be a lot of outcry when this game comes out. It's VERY brutal and it's a high profile franchise....might even get banned in some countries I reckon

Game Modes:
-Deathmatch - Supports up to 18 players, with the goal being to rack up the most kills. -Infestation - This pits a squad of marines against a single-player-controlled alien. As each marine is killed during a match, he will respawn as an alien until there's just one last man standing. -Predator Hunt - This is where you get to play as a group of predators hunting a sole alien. You're given a short match time of three minutes in which to kill the xenomorph and rack up the most kills on your team. -Survivor - This is the updated Skirmish mode where you're going after wave after wave of increasingly different and difficult Alien AI. You can do that in a four-player co-op.

looks like the rines are underpowered again atm...the level looked really small too....still waiting for some official footage I just read a review (in dutch) that said the complete opposite, that rine bullets were too damaging for balance. But in the previous game, any class was absolutely lethal if used right. I guess we'll just have to wait for a demo or the full release.

Sounds very positive so that's good news.... They may have tweaked gameplay already 'cause Eurogamer said that the Rine was very underpowered....recharge points for the Preds...that could lead to some nasty camping issues but all in all I can't wait for Feb =)

Praetorian Some notes I found from a guy who went to the event in London: * Game is still in Alpha, they are expecting to go into BETA status soon. (Backed up by a SEGA rep) * Controls are smooth and fun. * High res textures are yet to be added to the game. (Backed up by a SEGA rep) * The Eurogamer demo was stripped of a lot of game features. You couldn't sabotage power points etc. (Backed up by a SEGA rep) * Alien are the weakest but fast. (Backed up by a SEGA rep) * Marine gameplay is very fast and like a true FPS game. * Predator gameplay is very much like a hunter. * I got a glimpse of the Predator's Disc weapon in the demo, it was a 1 hit kill weapon. * Hit damage is realistic, pretty much a couple hits and your dead. * You can have long 1v1 melee fights between the Predator and Alien using block etc. * Trophy kills are interuptable. There were a couple high moments when multiple trophy kills were being performed on a group of players
