He soon finds himself in ancient Predator ruins, where he collects an ancient Predator bio-helmet with Xenomorph-tracking sensors. Before he can leave, he is trapped in the combat arena and forced to fight and kill a Praetorian. With the Praetorian dead, Dark heads for the Weyland-Yutani research labs, where he plans to kill Karl Bishop Weyland , the man behind the Xenomorph outbreak on the planet.
In the end, the hunt leads him to an ancestral Pyramid , where he is trapped by the Abomination created by Specimen 6 , which honor dictates he must kill. The two battle beneath the Pyramid, and their conflict proceeds to bring down the already unstable structure.
In the end, Dark is victorious, and with Weyland also dead killed by Rookie , Dark leaves the planet aboard a Predator ship on a course to the Xenomorph homeworld. As in the films, the Predator prefers to stalk its prey from the safety of treetops and the gameplay reflects this, the player leaping from branch to branch automatically with the help of a "focus jumping" game mechanic.
The Predator has different vision modes, the most recognizable from the films being a thermal imaging scanner that detects targets by their body heat, but the player also has an alternate vision mode for spotting Aliens.
Each vision mode only allows for targeting a specific race — for example, the thermal vision makes human and Predator targets obvious while rendering Aliens nearly invisible, making battles between two or all three species a tactical juggle to prioritize enemies based on their threat to the player.
The game also incorporates a "normal" vision mode, which is comparable to typical human sight, for gameplay reasons. Predator gameplay is more based on stealth and tactics than the average first-person shooter.
The player has to be aware of Aliens, which have the ability to see through a Predator's Cloak , whilst also taking care not to reveal themselves to Marines too early, as the humans' weaponry and numbers are more than a match for the Predator.
The player is able to utilize Vocal Mimicry to lure out human prey and make them easier targets. For long-range weaponry, the Predator is equipped only with the Plasmacaster , but over the course of the campaign manages to secure a Smart Disc , a Combistick and the ability to drop proximity mines , all weapons that were "stalwarts from the previous games.
Unlike many other games featuring the Predator, the creature's Cloak does not consume energy when in use and can theoretically be used indefinitely, although it will automatically cut out when firing weapons or attacking an enemy, or if the player enters a body of water, as in the films.
Energy is needed, however, to power the Predator's Plasmacaster and mines, and must be refilled from recharge stations scattered throughout the game's levels when it is depleted. Health is recharged through the use of Health Shards , which can also be scavenged in levels. The Wristblades allow for the Predator to perform a "trophy kill," a nod to the movies in which the Predators take trophies, usually skulls, from their defeated enemies to show their prowess in the hunt.
OXM labelled the trophy kill mechanic as so "spectacularly violent" that they believed it would be cut from the final game to avoid an Adults Only rating in the United States as it was "several measures more graphic" than any other recent games. The majority of the Predator's trophy kills revolve around dragging its enemy off-balance, before impaling it with its Wristblades and decapitating it.
The campaign begins as Specimen 6 in the Weyland-Yutani research labs. The player is made to attack human test subjects, armed or not, as a tutorial. The labs, however, gets hit by the EMP from the temple and the player rescues the queen and other captive Xenomorphs and escape. The Alien campaign forces players to get in close to their enemy, as their only methods of attack are physical: the Aliens' claws, tail, teeth and inner jaws. Players will be allowed to climb over every surface in the game as an Alien, but this is counteracted by a slower pace than previous games in the series, discouraging "blitz tactics.
Like the Predator, the Alien also has a sort-of trophy kill system. These mainly revolves around firmly grabbing a Marine or synthetic before commonly either Headbiting it or impaling it with the Xenomorph's tail. A Headbite on a corpse will recover all lost health, similar to a vampire, although the Alien's health automatically recovers fairly rapidly in game anyway, largely rendering this mechanic redundant.
Additionally, if Specimen 6 comes across any civilians in its rampage through the Freya's Prospect colony the colony in which this game is set , it can 'harvest' them to expand the hive, by pinning them down and attracting a Facehugger to them. The Colonial Marine campaign is far closer to that of a standard first-person shooter than the other campaigns, with the focus on ranged weaponry with only a light melee-attack to knock back Xenomorphs and Predators that get too close.
The campaign is the only one in the game to include survival horror elements. Weapons available to the Colonial Marine you play include the iconic Pulse Rifle and Smartgun , as wells as pistols, shotguns and flamethrowers , along with the motion tracker made famous in Aliens.
The key to the marine campaign is "the sheer terror of facing off against the two movie menaces of the title.
Most of the cutscenes take place from the perspective of the player character; Rebellion stated that the point of the campaign is to simply survive. The Marine campaign also contains the most information about the game's plot, whereas the others simply feature overheard conversations between Marines "shortly before you dice the Marines into meaty chunks.
To perform a stealth kill, the player must sneak behind an opponent undetected and press the specified button when prompted, which will result in a brutal kill animation. To perform a trophy kill, a player must approach an opponent from the front, stun them and press the specified button when prompted; the victim must be at low enough health to perform a trophy kill, otherwise they will simply push the player away.
If executed successfully, the player will launch into a brutal kill animation. Both stealth and trophy kills award the player with bonus experience points. While performing a stealth or trophy kill, you remain vulnerable to enemy attacks. Chronologically, events in the game begin with the escape of Specimen Six from the research facility although it is possible Dark 's Elite trials occur before this point.
Similarly, the Alien campaign is also the first to finish in terms of the overreaching timeline, although the ending cutscene apparently takes place at a later time. Throughout the game, all three campaigns are interwoven, although the main protagonists never encounter each other directly. Predator has received mixed to positive reviews from critics, and currently holds a Predator: Requiem video game. Though on the Xbox Live Rating system it is held at the moment at slightly more than 4 out of 5 stars.
Despite its mixed critical reception, Aliens vs. Predator debuted at number one on the UK all formats chart. The game was brought into controversy in Australia.
An early cut of the game was submitted for review to the OFLC, but was denied classification in Australia and effectively banned for sale altogether. The game's developers said there was not be a re-cut version released in Australia. It's an issue for me; some computer games are for kids — we're not making a computer game here for anyone other than adults.
That's very clear and within that context, I think the violence is part of the character and the world — so we're talking about a fantasy world here and fantasy creatures and we're talking about trying to build up a mythos. I remember the first time I saw it, one of the particular Predator kills, everyone went 'Oooh. This is a big win for Australian gamers. We applaud the Classification Review Board on making a decision that clearly considers the context of the game, and is in line with the modern expectations of reasonable Australians.
The violence is fantastical in nature and justified by the context of the game, set in a futuristic science-fiction world, inhabited by Aliens and Predators. This context serves to lessen its impact. The more contentious violence is randomly generated and is not dependent on player selection of specific moves. Dark Horse Comics produced an exclusive reprint comic book, Aliens vs.
Although there were rumors at the time of the game's release that a sequel would soon follow, as of yet no official word on its production has surfaced. Xenopedia Explore. The Queen Ripley Newt Cpl.
