Aliens vs. Predator developer diary explores heritage

Aliens vs. Predator developer diary explores heritage

Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator is a rare instance in gaming: a full-on remake of an old, classic title, as developed by the original team. The original, released on PC about 10 years ago, was very well-received as a top-tier shooter with horror elements, so we can only hope the new installment manages to capture the magic again, in new form.

Today's video compares and contrasts the two games -- what's new, what's old, and everything in between. For AvP fans, it's a must-watch.

As project lead Tim Jones will tell you in a moment, they're now able to accomplish things merely a dream to them back in '99. We're skeptical this could be the "definitive" version, if only on principle, but Rebellion does display a lot of potential.

Aliens vs Predator is all set to launch next month.
