I still think AVP2 is the best of the AVP games. The Marine campaign in particular was excellent. I did like AVP 2010 as well, but it is definitely flawed. But man, the graphics are still great in HD. Miss getting single player focused Aliens or Predator games. Aliens fireteam elite is definitely not a single player game.
yes, thank you! AvP2 *never* gets the credit it deserves. I know it's probably 'cause you can't buy it anymore, but still. it has everything: amazing and diverse gameplay, tons of fanservice, atmosphere for days... and *amazing* plot! it really is a puzzle, to solve which you need to complete all 3 campaigns. It's one of the best written of its genre, imo. excluding everything about Frosty, of course:)
@JahlisMan, I agree, probably because it isn't available for purchase on any current digital pcgaming platforms nor was it ported to consoles. I think the original Xbox could've handled it. I keep hoping for a remaster, given that both AVP 1 Classic 2000 and AVP 2010 are still readily available on Steam or GOG. Heck, AVP 2010 is backwards compatible on Xbox One X and Xbox Series X too. 2001 was truly an excellent year for FPS games: AVP2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Halo CE, Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis, Ghost Recon, and Red Faction. Dang... Been waiting 20 years for a true follow up to AVP2. Still haven't gotten it. Maybe I'd settle for a follow up to AVP 2010. But, the Mouse demands cheaply made online only focused games...
If only they decided to make a Predator: Hunting Grounds-esq single player game. No Alien or Marine perspective though - I want to see more focus on the Predator, and even visit Yautja Prime. Heck, imagine visiting the Alien Hive world as a Predator though...
@@conradthegreat812 Ehh I still think it should have the Alien perspective too. Don't really care about the marine side. We've seen that side more than enough
One thing to note about the fmvs in AVP 1999. Those ones in the video are not the originals and are in fact the devs. The original release had actual actors that did a similarly cheesy job but were replaced in the Gold re-release on sites such as Steam, apparently this was to get out of paying them royalties or something
The Xenomorph campaign takes place before the other two campaigns in Aliens Versus Predator 2010, well mostly. Parts of it take place during the events of the other two campaigns.
very few shooters have ever came close to AvP2 in terms of writing, diverse gameplay and atmosphere. one of my favourites of all time, still occasionally play it to this day.
@@xenomorphlover I'd settle even for just being able to buy it again, so I could pressure my friends into trying it:) not everyone wants to screw with... other means of getting it, you know.
As a kid, Extinction was one of my favorite games. At first I didn't understand it as a fan of games like halo and battlefront, but once I got the hang of it I loved it. I would spend hours on a single mission making my Xenomorph army as large and strong as possible, wishing it had a survival mode so I could see how far I could take my army. I will say that the Predator and Human campaigns I didn't like as much because it didn't feel like you were actually playing out situations that would've happened, but I loved simulating an Alien hive, and bringing unconscious bodies back to the hive just like the movies.
Honestly, I think AvP could lend to a really good Horror/RTS mix genre if done right! I know somebody working on such a remake, and they're really dedicating a lot of time into it to get it just right.
That rant was funny. Imagine someone made a full edited highlights video like that, haha… unless? For real though, utterly spectacular video! Glad to have helped, even if it was a little part! Well done to you guys for this amazing piece! Also - THAT POOR GUYS ARM STILL! MY GOD, JESUS FUCK!
AVP 2010 by far has one of my favorite multiplayer experiences of all time. So memorable for me. First place on the leaderboard on almost every single game. I just love it so SO much.
Had lots of good times in avp 2010. Knocking down the other humans with your shotgun to leave them defenseless for a horde of rushing aliens was always enjoyable Or that you were invincible during an assassination animation but they were so Long that an enemy was always waiting behind you to assassinate you as soon as you finish, and then someone waits behind them and soon enough it's a conga line of people patiently waiting to jump behind you as soon as you started to assassinate the last guy The asymmetric pvpvp modes were always fun as well. The predator weapons specifically the spinning disc were very interesting since they would follow where ever you looked even after you threw it. Only game I can think of that has done something similar since is one of the titans in titanfall 2
I found it odd that the video said AvP Classic was too easy but AvP2 was too hard, when back in the day AvP Classic's difficulty was legendary and AvP2 was criticised for being so much easier...
true ive finished avp 2 on hardcore difficulty with all races its a chellenge some what but i feel like the only problem is navigating alien levels if u dont know the layout and the alien health pool other than that the game isnt rly as difficult as hes saying
@@Farzlepotits even more odd because AvP2 wasn't well received at the time. Yet its all these people now that claimed they loved it. I distinctly remember all of the criticism it received when it was released.
ive only ever played AvP 2010, but god the human campaign absolutely terrified me as a kid. i was 8 or 9 years old playing it, and that very first mission where you wake up in the dark all alone was genuinely hard for me to get through. not because it was difficult gameplay, but because i found it genuinely horrifying to play. ill always love that game for these memories
AvP2 Primal Hunt was REALLY good, and it's a shame you weren't able to get some heavier gameplay in. The intertwining of the campaigns was much stronger (you literally die at the end of the Predator storyline to the chestburster that becomes the Predalien in the second), the Predalien is less speed and stealth and more power and durability, and it's interesting to play as a Weyland-Yutani Merc rather than a Marine...even if the facehuggers are stupidly difficult to deal with.
Primal Hunt would be fine if the balance wasn't so... not there. the amount of enemies it throws at you is baffling, and that's across all 3 campaigns. it's a shooter, yet I found myself in a survival horror repeatedly once where I just didn't have enough ammo in *any* weapon to deal with a horde that was accompanied by a Praetorian. yet I had to kill them all, or the lift wouldn't open. so that save was useless, had to start again. and Predalien's ending bit with all those mechs is kinda bullshit too:D
Unscripted Livestream Xavier is my spirit animal. Lol, this was a great follow up to the Alien and Predator games retrospectives. Look forward to seeing whatever two of my favorite TH-camrs do next. 👍
AvP 2010 is one of my favorite games ever. It’s really sucks the multiplayer is dead. The only thing I didn’t like was that the Alien campaign was the shortest because they cut out 2 levels. Xenomorph master race!
I’m not to sure what the levels entail, butt, I do know they cut out 2 levels where we were going to play as Preatorian 6. You can see we started the transformation starting at the jungle level where 6s tail was the preatorian tail.
@@doomslayer1210 You can also see via shadows that the Praetorian skin from multiplayer is equipped for that mission, but that could just be an oversight as in the mission afterward you’re back to playing as the normal skin, and 6 never started mutating into a praetorian until after the Matriarch had died
If I remember right, in the Lore the Yautja(Predator) allow equipment/cloaking for the youngbloods, and other rookie hunters. And as the hunters get more skilled they start using less and less gear, until they're fighting Xenomorphs with their barehands and a knife.
God I remember having so much fun playing the multiplayer in AVP 2010. Too bad almost nobody played the ranked matches so getting any skins was next to impossible, especially since you had to play well to get enough xp to level up.
Oh god I remember that, I HATED how you had to play ranked matches, I played it in like 2013 and it was almost impossible to find ranked matches, there was a Marine and a Predator skin I wanted so bad but could never get because of it...
36:13 I have the original retail copy of AVP2. The bosses were tough but not invincible in the Xeno campaign. You chip away their HP with hit and run attacks and it can take several tries before getting the right feel for it.
Those credits reminiscent of Predator 1 are golden, good work to everybody involved in this. Also 4:28, Xavier curling up into a ball after witnessing the Alien and Predator playing chess. This video deserved better.
my favourite thing in AVP classic was doing skirmish mode with the Predator and throwing the disc around the map when it was full of aliens. In the second one the disc was just a basic projectile, but in the first it would circle around the map if it didn't hit any obstacles, and it would cut in half the aliens. It was a lot more basic in the second and didn't feel as satisfying
Avp3 (aka avp, aka avp 2010) was fire with multiplayer. We need remaster or a sequel it’s been 12 years.., what I want in the next one though is the ability to use face huggers like you could in AVP2’s multiplayer
I myself love AVP Extinction, specifically the Xenomorph campaign because of the feeling of the hive mind, and of the three campaigns it feels...the most fleshed out.
As a teenager I plaved AVP 2010 all the damn time and pretty much exclusively as the predator. There were fun game modes in the multiplayer too like maybe the first asynchronous mode where 1 person is the predator and everyone else is a marine.
Honestly this whole trilogy of collabs is getting me VERY close to actually watching these movies. Good on you guys, this is some of the best stuff I've seen from the both of you!
Man I loved AvP 2010. Only got to rent it from Blockbuster back in the day but it was so fun. Barely started the video but I wonder if Predator: Concrete Jungle is included in this list. As you do fight Xenomorphs there.
The map in AvP for Jaguar works better on the real thing since it appears scrambled on your emulator. It was a hard game that, yes, I ended up beating thanks to the Official Jaguar Gamers Guide. The best thing about AvP is that it truly shows that the Jaguar is far more capable than a 16-bit system people claim it to be.
My experience with AVP 2010: -bought on steam -played Predator tutorial -hated stiff combat so i decided to do the alien campaign instead -beat alien campaign and was disappointed by how short it was -played multiplayer for 15 minutes in server with about 5 or 6 people -decided to refund the game because despite all that i still had just under 2 hours on record I was so excited to play a game combining 2 of my favorite Sci-fi monsters, but man did it not deliver on any of it. We really need a good studio to do the idea justice, because we really haven’t gotten a great game for these creatures yet.
What could've been cool for the marines, much like with the alien case of not regaining health, is he would be replaced with a different guy upon death, starting in a different part of the place if not in the grip, and had to collect necessites from his comrade's corpse where he fell. I guess much of the same could be said for the predator's death/life mechanics as well, except they all have their own equipment and that's it.
I think AvP classic was my introduction to horde mode in games. I can remember having so much fun just running in circles around this random bunker constantly shooting aliens that are popping up all over the place.
I really loved AVP Extinction. I played a few strategy and RTS games and being able to play one when I didn't have access to the family computer was pretty cool. In addition, the stories were actually sneakily intertwined when you pay close attention. The other trick was the way you get those time trial bonuses was to not wait. You didn't need to max out on your armies to win the level nor did you need to wait for the atmos generator to complete before moving on fix it and just keep moving the money will roll in and you will be able to call reinforcements as you move either way. There were also advance commands for formations that helped the combat aspect of things a little. The bad pathing of units in an RTS is a very common problem in a lot of RTS games so seeing it here was neither a surprise nor something that bothered me it is just part of the genre.
Oh yeah, you know what's funny? DOOM was originally a Alien game, but licensing issues made it imposible to make it a Alien game, so they modified it and changed the look, and became the game everyone loves.
One thing missing here on the info regarding Capcom's 1994 AVP Arcade game, and is that the Major Dutch Schaefer in the game is a DESCENDANT of the one from the movie PREDATOR, he is NOT Arnold Schwarzenegger's version. The game version is Schaefer IV (The Fourth) as said in the audio when one selects him to play in the character select screen.
I think all the extended lore alien, predator, and marine types we see in AVP Extinction are the best part about it. I've played plenty of rts games and it's pretty sub par but it was made for consoles. It would be cool to see some of the stuff like the giant aliens, military predators, and combat mechs show up in other future games in the franchise but it probably won't happen. I remember playing AVP Evolution on my tablet in middle school, I found all the secrets and had the berserker set for both characters. It would be cool if the berserker alien showed up in Fire team. I think a problem with games in this license is the teams seem afraid to experiment with weapons, enemies, etc, they don't want to draw on extended lore and what not.
I was the one who provided the AVP Evolution game, gave Diego the link and everything. I'm not on twitter anymore because I'm just not popular enough for it. But I was happy to help with whatever I could.
God damn.. I totally forgot about AvP SNES. I also absolutely loved the 99 game. I had soo many AvP comics when I was a kid. From the look of it, it sucks that I missed out on the arcade game (though i may have played it and just totally forgot)! Thank you for the nostalgia trip!!!
I still got a cd of avp2, was very hard to get it going on my pc, but yea, it was pretty difficult to play sometimes. When playing as a marine and you are on hard mode, the aliens sometimes kill you in a jump scare, and you're dead in 1 second
Regarding the Predator in the Jaguar game: the honor points system is specifically a set of rules for that specific predator during its hunt for the Queen, it's not supposed to be viewed as standard. And personally, I'm glad when predators are just fought randomly throughout the game instead of just boss fights. The series is Alien Vs Predator not Alien vs Marine guest starring a single predator per campaign. I think an AvP style RTS could work really well with modern tech abilities. Where you could design levels around playing as a single character with specialized abilities and alternate between the largescale army levels and solo/small group survival/hunting experience. Heck, there are levels in Starcraft 2 that pretty much are these experiences.
Infinitely spawning enemies is always a bad idea, but in AvP there was a horde mode where you could team up with other players and go to this bunder in some mountains and defend it against an unending swarm of aliens and that was a lot of fun.... unless one of our mates decided to betray us and f'ked us all up with flamethrower.
ah yes, AvP 2010, I really enjoyed that game, I remembe make runs as alien (my favorite one) with the mission of not take damage, was really fun that stealth :)
The AVP FPS games are easily among my favorites alongside stuff like classic Doom and Quake 1. I always found the Marine and Xenomorph campaigns to be the most fun. AVP 1999 is probably my overall favorite. The sound design and atmosphere/immersion was through the roof with that game. Extremely tense game in all the best ways when playing the Marine and hearing that motion detector start to go off faster and faster while you're in a dark area.
I came to this video in order to find an old avp game (that being evolution) I used to play on mobile when I was younger and I’m so glad Dawg was able to cover it, but I’m upset I’ll never be able to play it again 😭 had some elite memories on that game, plus convincing my mum to buy me the pred-alien was funny 😂
game called "Abuse" from 1995 is basically addition to this list. i know that is not mentioned to be AVP game but just from pure look at it, it is alien v predator game.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure something wrong with your copy of AVP99 because none of those AI or cloaking issues exist in the original version to my knowledge, the full motion cutscenes are also different from what I remembered which might explain their low quality. Also, playing with a controller on AVP99 is a terrible idea, trust me the game was made for keyboard and mouse and a lot of the times in the footage your crosshairs is jerking around unnaturaly because if it. Seems more frustrating than what’s it’s worth.
I think it's issues related to the Classic 2000 edition of AVP1 that's available digitally on Steam or GOG. I too have experienced bad AI. And the FMV sequences were changed from the base AVP 1999 game. Probably best to play AVP1 with mouse and keyboard. Though you'd think it'd work since Rebellion made AVP on the Atari Jaguar and they were more console focused. They apparently wanted to port AVP 1999 to the Sega Dreamcast, but it was cancelled. Real shame as Dreamcast did offer a mouse and keyboard control option too.
Oh man, the one for the Atari Jaguar really took me back to the summer of 1995, just before starting high school, and playing this at a store called The Wherehouse (the only other game I liked for the system was Road Rash). I swear those store employees must've been sick of me being there every day. I remember they had NBA Jam on the SNES console they had. Anyway, I never thought of it this way but this was probably my first survivor horror game. The store manager was cool enough to give me some codes to get the smart gun and motion detector, which was so incredible. I also remember how much of a pain it was that the aliens would leave a puddle of their acid blood after death, which would damage you if you walked over it. Frustratingly unavoidable sometimes.
Avp classics was all about the multiplayer. Running as the alien killing all the lights tailwhipping while you fly by them on the walls. Fond memories!
I LOVED avp2, played the multiplayer so much and the campaigns were great, Also had a small mod/custom campaign community which had some gems! About the difficulty of the bossfights, I think it might be the version you downloaded? I played it on all difficulties and I don't remember just getting oneshot by everything. anyways, great game, I hope it gets a steam release or GOG release someday. Good memories :)
Everything about this video is perfect. It is such a damn shame that a lot of people are just here for the Spider-Man content. For me it seems me and Xavier literally share every interest. Its such a nice feeling when you find a youtuber seemingly made for you!

It's a shame that AvP2 wasn't reviewed in more details. Anyways, good video.
Gotta agree with you there
The map in AvP for Jaguar works better on the real thing since it appears scrambled on your emulator. It was a hard game that, yes, I ended up beating thanks to the Official Jaguar Gamers Guide. The best thing about AvP is that it truly shows that the Jaguar is far more capable than a 16-bit system people claim it to be.
My experience with AVP 2010:
-bought on steam
-played Predator tutorial
-hated stiff combat so i decided to do the alien campaign instead
-beat alien campaign and was disappointed by how short it was
-played multiplayer for 15 minutes in server with about 5 or 6 people
-decided to refund the game because despite all that i still had just under 2 hours on record
I was so excited to play a game combining 2 of my favorite Sci-fi monsters, but man did it not deliver on any of it. We really need a good studio to do the idea justice, because we really haven’t gotten a great game for these creatures yet.
I love how predator looks like an absolute badass even while playing chess🤣
I love that NRS added both the predator and Alien in MKX.
What could've been cool for the marines, much like with the alien case of not regaining health, is he would be replaced with a different guy upon death, starting in a different part of the place if not in the grip, and had to collect necessites from his comrade's corpse where he fell. I guess much of the same could be said for the predator's death/life mechanics as well, except they all have their own equipment and that's it.
The wait was worth it - this is absolutely incredible!
0:42 Wow a chestburster AND backburster victim! Lucky!
Hearing Xavier go crazy in the steam highlight was hilarious
I think AvP classic was my introduction to horde mode in games. I can remember having so much fun just running in circles around this random bunker constantly shooting aliens that are popping up all over the place.
AVP arcade took forever to get working honestly
I really loved AVP Extinction. I played a few strategy and RTS games and being able to play one when I didn't have access to the family computer was pretty cool. In addition, the stories were actually sneakily intertwined when you pay close attention. The other trick was the way you get those time trial bonuses was to not wait. You didn't need to max out on your armies to win the level nor did you need to wait for the atmos generator to complete before moving on fix it and just keep moving the money will roll in and you will be able to call reinforcements as you move either way. There were also advance commands for formations that helped the combat aspect of things a little. The bad pathing of units in an RTS is a very common problem in a lot of RTS games so seeing it here was neither a surprise nor something that bothered me it is just part of the genre.
I've been waiting for this ever since I saw the comment by Godzilla Mendoza confirming it was happening.
Ok, you guys are my favorite. LOVE your style!
Oh yeah, you know what's funny? DOOM was originally a Alien game, but licensing issues made it imposible to make it a Alien game, so they modified it and changed the look, and became the game everyone loves.
This channel is criminally underrated.
The Annihilation video is finally at 100k now congrats it's a really good video and those views were deserved, excited for the sequel!
Makes me wonder why this franchise didn't have a full line of Metroidvania games.
Great video, guys!
The Nintendo DS Aliens Infestation was a good Metroidvania. Unfortunately, it never got ported to any consoles or pc.
I love AVP 2010. I know it's a flawed game but its really my favorite out of all the AVP games. I love playing as The Predator.
This was long yet entertaining to watch and I always love the Alien and Predator franchise
I have a friend who passed up buying Red Dead when it came out and instead bought one of the AVP games.
He hated it
AVP EVOLUTION was so good… I still have the game on my phone! It deserved better.
the one you said looks like Kylo Ren looks more like Severous Snape from Harry Potter XD
This is some ambitious ass shit. Good work everyone!
One thing missing here on the info regarding Capcom's 1994 AVP Arcade game, and is that the Major Dutch Schaefer in the game is a DESCENDANT of the one from the movie PREDATOR, he is NOT Arnold Schwarzenegger's version. The game version is Schaefer IV (The Fourth) as said in the audio when one selects him to play in the character select screen.
I hope this video gets 1 million views
I loved and still have AVP 2 and Primal Hunt somewhere with my old PC CDs along with Halo CE and Zoo Tycoon.
I remember when you used to be a little Spoder-Boi. Now you a Spoder-mang.
I think all the extended lore alien, predator, and marine types we see in AVP Extinction are the best part about it. I've played plenty of rts games and it's pretty sub par but it was made for consoles. It would be cool to see some of the stuff like the giant aliens, military predators, and combat mechs show up in other future games in the franchise but it probably won't happen.
I remember playing AVP Evolution on my tablet in middle school, I found all the secrets and had the berserker set for both characters. It would be cool if the berserker alien showed up in Fire team. I think a problem with games in this license is the teams seem afraid to experiment with weapons, enemies, etc, they don't want to draw on extended lore and what not.
Could you imagine an fos extinction that would chaotic and ravages are a nightmare to fight
Ah yes the xavier and diego avp game cinematic universe continues,i might need to touch up on the name though
I was the one who provided the AVP Evolution game, gave Diego the link and everything. I'm not on twitter anymore because I'm just not popular enough for it. But I was happy to help with whatever I could.
AvP Classic I felt similarly. Playing as Xeno was very difficult. Marines were fun, and playing as predator was just badass.
It is a shame that AvP 2010 had more video time than AVP 2. It was a really really good game with interesting storyline.
God damn.. I totally forgot about AvP SNES. I also absolutely loved the 99 game. I had soo many AvP comics when I was a kid. From the look of it, it sucks that I missed out on the arcade game (though i may have played it and just totally forgot)! Thank you for the nostalgia trip!!!
I still got a cd of avp2, was very hard to get it going on my pc, but yea, it was pretty difficult to play sometimes. When playing as a marine and you are on hard mode, the aliens sometimes kill you in a jump scare, and you're dead in 1 second
Regarding the Predator in the Jaguar game: the honor points system is specifically a set of rules for that specific predator during its hunt for the Queen, it's not supposed to be viewed as standard.
And personally, I'm glad when predators are just fought randomly throughout the game instead of just boss fights. The series is Alien Vs Predator not Alien vs Marine guest starring a single predator per campaign.
I think an AvP style RTS could work really well with modern tech abilities. Where you could design levels around playing as a single character with specialized abilities and alternate between the largescale army levels and solo/small group survival/hunting experience. Heck, there are levels in Starcraft 2 that pretty much are these experiences.
So on time stamp 40:24 i swear that guys voice in the tutorial is literally kakashi (English dub of course)
This is single handedly the best crossover on this channel dude this deserves so much attention
Infinitely spawning enemies is always a bad idea, but in AvP there was a horde mode where you could team up with other players and go to this bunder in some mountains and defend it against an unending swarm of aliens and that was a lot of fun.... unless one of our mates decided to betray us and f'ked us all up with flamethrower.
ah yes, AvP 2010, I really enjoyed that game, I remembe make runs as alien (my favorite one) with the mission of not take damage, was really fun that stealth :)
The AVP FPS games are easily among my favorites alongside stuff like classic Doom and Quake 1. I always found the Marine and Xenomorph campaigns to be the most fun. AVP 1999 is probably my overall favorite. The sound design and atmosphere/immersion was through the roof with that game. Extremely tense game in all the best ways when playing the Marine and hearing that motion detector start to go off faster and faster while you're in a dark area.
Bishop: you thought that the final boss would be an alien queen or the predator, but it was I, BISHOP!!
It’s finally here! I’ve been waiting patiently. Thanks for more great content guys, keep it up!
I came to this video in order to find an old avp game (that being evolution) I used to play on mobile when I was younger and I’m so glad Dawg was able to cover it, but I’m upset I’ll never be able to play it again 😭 had some elite memories on that game, plus convincing my mum to buy me the pred-alien was funny 😂
AVP 2 needs a remaster for christ sake. the best AVP game that ever was.
This takes me back. Loved AVP 2 on PC. It inspired me to make AVP related stop motion videos.
This video was hilarious. Oh, and informative too.
This was great. Reminds me of what TH-cam used to be in the early 2010s 😅
I wouldn't be surprised if avp2 still had a huge online player community
game called "Abuse" from 1995 is basically addition to this list. i know that is not mentioned to be AVP game but just from pure look at it, it is alien v predator game.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure something wrong with your copy of AVP99 because none of those AI or cloaking issues exist in the original version to my knowledge, the full motion cutscenes are also different from what I remembered which might explain their low quality.
Also, playing with a controller on AVP99 is a terrible idea, trust me the game was made for keyboard and mouse and a lot of the times in the footage your crosshairs is jerking around unnaturaly because if it. Seems more frustrating than what’s it’s worth.
Hope he sees this.
I think it's issues related to the Classic 2000 edition of AVP1 that's available digitally on Steam or GOG. I too have experienced bad AI. And the FMV sequences were changed from the base AVP 1999 game.
Probably best to play AVP1 with mouse and keyboard. Though you'd think it'd work since Rebellion made AVP on the Atari Jaguar and they were more console focused.
They apparently wanted to port AVP 1999 to the Sega Dreamcast, but it was cancelled. Real shame as Dreamcast did offer a mouse and keyboard control option too.
Oh man, the one for the Atari Jaguar really took me back to the summer of 1995, just before starting high school, and playing this at a store called The Wherehouse (the only other game I liked for the system was Road Rash). I swear those store employees must've been sick of me being there every day. I remember they had NBA Jam on the SNES console they had.
Anyway, I never thought of it this way but this was probably my first survivor horror game. The store manager was cool enough to give me some codes to get the smart gun and motion detector, which was so incredible. I also remember how much of a pain it was that the aliens would leave a puddle of their acid blood after death, which would damage you if you walked over it. Frustratingly unavoidable sometimes.
Avp classics was all about the multiplayer. Running as the alien killing all the lights tailwhipping while you fly by them on the walls. Fond memories!
4:43 hey I took those pictures!
damm timetravelers
I LOVED avp2, played the multiplayer so much and the campaigns were great, Also had a small mod/custom campaign community which had some gems!
About the difficulty of the bossfights, I think it might be the version you downloaded? I played it on all difficulties and I don't remember just getting oneshot by everything.
anyways, great game, I hope it gets a steam release or GOG release someday. Good memories :)
Everything about this video is perfect. It is such a damn shame that a lot of people are just here for the Spider-Man content. For me it seems me and Xavier literally share every interest. Its such a nice feeling when you find a youtuber seemingly made for you!
