New trailer shows Aliens Vs. Predator multiplayer action

New trailer shows Aliens Vs. Predator multiplayer action

The Xbox 360, PS3 and PC are set to see some space-aliens battling out in the upcoming Aliens Vs. Predator, due out in February.

Ahead of the launch, UK-based Rebellion Developments invited some members of the gaming press out to come give the game a go; the three game journos who shared their experiences with the camera in the video below seemed to think it was really keen.

The main selling feature for the FPS is the ability to play as one of three different species for the multiplayer component. Humans rely on heavy weaponry to blow away anything in sight (but are prone to sneak attacks); the Aliens have to really on speed and quick strikes to be succesful, and the Predators have to play as cunning hunters, using their technology to their advantage.

The graphics for the game look nice. Thankfully it doesn't look like gameplay will be limited to dark corridors for this title in the long-running series; you'll be shooting it out over a variety of different terrains.
