Xenomorphs? without Predators? isn’t like meat without potatoes? I mean separarely they’re still awesome, but together ….Sunday Dinner! Steak +Chips! Bangers and Mash! anyone feeling this metaphor?

LOVE them both dearly, especially the sly cameos made in each others games and films!! like the Alien skull in the predator’s trophy case at the end of predator 2? and the Aliens in that PS2 predator game, which was freakin awesome, to play as the predator with all the related gadgetry+abilities etc. oooh sequel, where art though?

This change that they mention, i’ve got an idea for what i’d like it to be, that could be a winner for all involved, Gearbox, apparently a bit skint from hells highway being more like blockbuster’s B-road (thats a small type of uk road my foreigner friends+the place you’d rent but NOT buy the game from), get approached by whoever film company is going to do AvP3, which is kind of uber-blatently going to happen after that last scene in AvP2, a game+film tie-in release!!! both are at AvP #3 next (film+games),

And this is my ultimate idea for the AvP cross-over game, which any games company is quite welcome to steal+produce if they can doing it:

Gearbox could use their HH squad-based type mechanic if players choose to play as Marines, starting with maybe a massive team only to be wittled down 1by1 by a miffed CPU Predator(final boss?) taking out your team whilst you battle the obvious hordes of acid-blooded, goo dribbling, chest bursting, egg hatching, face hugging fellas, just like the 2nd Alien film, early missions would have a well equipped, disciplined, efficient bunch of as$-kicking marines being reduced to panicky, mistake-prone, terrified, wrecks by the end of the game, where the player would be the last marine, locked in a final battle withe Predator OR if the player chooses differently, they play as a single Predator who whilst clearing an accidental infection of xenomorphs on an a remote planet (LV-426??) is suddenly attacked by CPU controlled Marines either protecting the xenomorph to develop it as a bio-weapon for some evil-doers (which has kind been a running theme throughout the Alien series of films) or maybe they’re trying (in vain) to also clear the infection, they’d attack the Predator, who being the sport loving hunter we know + love would accept their ‘challenge’ and take on both human+alien, a good twist would be that the Marines manage to evacuate a single marine back to Earth who, naturally, would be either intentionally or un-intentionally, be taking back the Xenomorph to the human homeworld, meaning the Predator would have to follow to Earth where an epic final 3-way battle would ensue…but thats not all!!

having finished both campaigns in the game, the player unlocks a supersecret 3rd campaign option where they play as the Alien scourge in a C+C RTS-type game, providing a completely different type of game altogether, fighting,feeding and developing new breeds of Xenomorph as human+predator foes hunt you. The player would control as an Alien Queen, having to create new hives on each mission, harvest victims+wipe out all attempts to destroy your existence!

3 very diferent types of campaign in one game, variety, value and justice done to all 3 monsters in the game yay! the film company could write script, tie it in with their film or whatever, Gearbox would be free to seriously improve the HH code + new sections.

The fans would get the game we want+deserve!

look out for its release in 200-Never!!
