Alien Vs. Predator Coming To PSP
After two successful appearances on the PC, and a Hollywood movie, Aline Vs. Predator is going mobile on the PSP. The game is based on the upcoming AVP2 movie (like no one expected that), and will be released this Holiday season, yes, next to heavyweights like UT3, Crysis and Halo 3. The game is developed by Rebellion, who made the first AVP game, Gun, and the latest Harry Potter adventure. Full press release after the break.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ — Sierra Entertainment, a division
of Vivendi Games, today announced the development of a PSP(R)
(PlayStation(R)Portable) system exclusive, based on the new Aliens/Predator
film, which Twentieth Century Fox releases nationwide on December 25.
Designed solely for the PSP System, players will become the ultimate
Predator, hunting down and eliminating the Alien species in the authentic
universe of the Aliens/Predator movie. The game is being developed by
Rebellion, creator of the original highly acclaimed Aliens vs. Predator PC
game.
“We’re pleased to once again partner with Twentieth Century Fox to
deliver an engaging interactive extension to the film,” said Al Simone,
senior vice president, Global Marketing for Sierra Entertainment. “Pitting
two of Hollywood’s most popular and terrifying monsters against each other,
the upcoming Aliens/Predator movie will provide a gripping gaming
experience for not only fans of the film, but anyone with a PSP system.”
Elie Dekel, Executive Vice President of Fox Licensing & Merchandising
added, “The Aliens/Predator franchise is a crown jewel in the Fox portfolio
and one of the most exciting properties for interactive content. Sierra
Entertainment will create a game that will keep both fans of the films and
avid gamers alike engaged for hours of immersive gameplay.”
In this third-person action-adventure, players will be an elite lone
Predator with an arsenal of exotic weaponry and equipment at their
disposal. The game will give access to advanced technologies with the
Predator’s wrist computer including Pred-tech/thermal vision modes and
cloaking, to track, stalk and annihilate both humans and Aliens. Both
classic and completely new futuristic weapons such as wrist blades, laser
trip mines and dual shoulder cannons will give players the ability to
eradicate all traces of the Alien race. With co-op multiplayer mode players
will be able to team up with friends wirelessly to play as the Predator’s
comrades, attempting to withstand hordes of attacking Aliens.
To add to the game’s challenging features, an honor point system will
evaluate the player’s success based on how closely they adhere to the
Predator’s value system. The higher the honor achievement, the more weapon
and armor upgrades available to the player.
