Aliens vs. Predator demo available on Steam now!


Recommended Posts

Cheers, I hadn't seen this. Downloading now - interested to see if it is really any good. It could go either way IMO. Will post up once I have played a bit :)

Also try going to the demo through Steam itself, through the Store tab. If it still doesn't work, keep trying, it should be available in all territories as far as I know.

Just finished downloading, about to play.

already got the 360 pre-orderd, will check the demo ( mainly got it because i loved the origional, 360 version cause my friends have 360 for Co-Op Survivor)

will skip the PC version retail though, 60' HDTV with 7.1 surround cant beat a 24' monitor

Well it is damn good fun, I'll say that much! Few issues, namely dodgy controls at times - and Marine movement feels a bit sluggish - but apart from that, I loved every minute of the 2 matches I have played so far! I may even pre-order having played the demo.

It's alright, compared to the original. The graphics are cool-looking, but nothing special. I played as a Predator for 2 games and a Human for 1. From my experience, the only thing I don't like is the low HP. It's so easy to get owned. You'll drop quicker than an elephant on Jupiter. This isn't on my buy list though, especially since it's going for $50. I might consider it when the price drops to $25.

do you have to find the predators range weapons?

Yep, for a reason though. The charged shot for the shoulder-mounted plasma weapon is a one-hit kill deal. The same goes for the boomerang/blade weapon which seems to be "infinite" so long as you catch it when it flies back at you.

Initial feelings: Loving the graphics, having played the two previous games I'm hoping I'll adapt but at the moment I feel like a total noob again. Lag seems variable, guess we're not on deadicated or anything so not their fault yet :p Only deathmatch so far but we've three species to choose from so it wont dry up too fast, probbaly enjoying marine best right now but i've still the Predator to try =] How's everyone else finding it?

Noticed my mic was broadcasting in lobby during my skype call which amused me somewhat, felt like a right idiot :blush:

Hahaha! I muted my mic as soon as I heard someone rustling theirs. The demo was enjoyable, but I've played too many online FPS games to be impressed by it. It's nice being able to play as the different races as they each provide a unique way of playing, but it doesn't seem "special" or "unique". I'd give the demo a 2.5/5.

Awful awful awful demo. Matchmaking - a complete crap as usual, consolized menus with 2 options per screen - you know, not to confuse the console retards too much. :crazy:

Graphics are good and it runs smooth, that's about the only thing that is good about this demo.

It isn't that bad. The matchmaking is decent, but the options could use some PC love. I don't think you can change the controls which is quite bad.

Anyone else hate the motion blur in this game? There is way too much motion blur.. :wacko:

That's the first thing I noticed it. It's tolerable, but not over-the-top.

Is anyone else not able to get a match going? It was searching one for 10 min. and I gave up. :/

I had a match going fairly quickly.

Was about to download it but after seeing the comments, I don't think it's worth it then :D

It's definitely worth a try. Who knows, you might actually like it. You shouldn't rely solely on the experience of other people.
