Aliens vs. Preditor - Looking...Actually Good!

Aside from being cult hits, both the Aliens movies and Predator flicks have always been at the forefront of cutting edge science fiction. With hundreds of off-shoots in comics, games, graphic novels and even movies (from which we know them best) both series have seen their fair share of the Hollywood spotlight. However, with respect to the deep roots each fictional story-gate has given the public for the past 20+ years nothing has looked as promising as 'Rebellion's' forthcoming Aliens vs. Predator (Heritage) game...well, maybe not for the past 10 years. I'm looking at you Aliens IV!

I recently (this morning) saw the latest trailer this game and was very impressed with what was presented to me: A game that takes an extremely popular genre (sci-fi) and an even more popular series (Aliens/Predator), mashes them together and spits out a trailer that looks like this:

Aliens vs Predator: Heritage Trailer/Dev Diary

Now, I know this isn't the first time Rebellion has made an Aliens vs Predator game. In fact, its been almost ten years exactly since we last saw their take on a venerable and well established story such as AvP. However, with the wide spread success of the first installment just think of what ten years or preparatory work can do? I, for one thing am extremely excited to at least see more!

Until the next dev. diary....
