Hopefully it's a game of extremes. Either with Dredd in it and completely ridiculous or really really intense and fast like AvP1. That's my biggest hope after Colonial Marines, that it's a game not so concerned with being run of the mill.

Might just have to reinstall Windows again. As for Rebellion doing another AVP game - I might have to hit up my Rebellion contact about. I think I posted in one of the Aliens threads on here about the original AVP being a happy accident, which I learned from him in the past.

Sorry about that, I literally saw the group chat and thought, "who knows, maybe there is someone free". Curse the GMT / UTC 0+ time zones, they ruin my chances of playing with US Goons. I've been getting some multiplayer games in, great fun when you can single someone out and punish them for being curious.

Xenomrph posted:I'd love to hear more about this. I love AvPClassic, it's still my favorite AvP game. Way back in the days of 1999, when 56k modems were the best connections most home users could afford, cover-mounted CDs were pretty much the only way to get exposure for an upcoming release. As the CDs were tied to publication dates demos would "go gold", in a similar way to full games, because the publication dates were a non-negotiable immovable deadline. Miss it and you miss featuring on that month's CD, which as they were often tied to exclusive offers, meant the relationship between the developer and the publisher would often be pretty much shafted and it could be difficult to recover from. Rebellion was founded by two brothers. One, a charismatic and gifted salesman, who could handle the business side of things with ease. The other handled the development side of things and was a little "on the spectrum". Mr Business had landed an exclusive cover-mount release for their first AVP demo, with PC Zone (IIRC - I've probably still got the actual CD in storage somewhere). The deadline for getting a working demo off to Dennis Publishing was swiftly approaching, so Mr Business decided to review what they had. It wasn't much. Mr Development had fallen into the trap that a lot of developers do - spend most time on the most interesting bits. He loved lighting and water and had devoted the majority of his time on trying out new techniques for his pet engine, with the rest of the dev work spread out across his team. They had a load of assets sorted but nothing more than a tech demo for the engine, instead of a playable demo to draw in punters. The company went into crunch time. They grabbed one of the test environments, added some location-based monster spawns and churned out as much as they could. A basic goal of "get from your spawn to the Dropship" was given and they had a product they could send out to PC Zone, so people could at least walk around and shoot things. They could see glaring errors in the demo and were poo poo-scared of the response. Except the response was overwhelmingly positive. Where they saw a mostly empty environment (mostly), punters saw atmosphere. A path-finding bug that meant Aliens had difficulty finding a player and could get stuck in vents overhead? Punters saw that as Aliens hunting the player and coupled with the motion tracker, this added to the atmosphere. A lack of health/ammo/weapons to find and pick up? More atmosphere because you couldn't afford to spray and pray. So, AVP was a happy accident. They took the feedback and used it to finish off the game with how punters wanted to play it. This is why, outside of one of the coop maps, the game doesn't have that many moments with loads of Aliens attacking and often has long sections where you're not shooting much. It had some glorious water and lighting effects though. Note: This was told to me a few years ago by a mate. He was working at 2000AD when they were bought out by Rebellion, so he heard it second-hand, so I can't say all of the above is the absolute truth but it seems to add up and he's not known as a bullshitter. hexa fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Mar 6, 2013 |

glitchkrieg posted:It had some glorious water and lighting effects though. Hahahah oh gently caress. If that's true, that's hilarious. I remember being blown the gently caress away by the lighting in particular in AvP back when it released. I thought the flare launcher was the single most amazing mix of gameplay and atmosphere I'd yet seen. Also, it's important to keep in mind just how many of the games that we thought had insanely fiendish AIs back in the 90s and early 00s were just clever game designers using things like fog of war and obscured sight lines to cover up some really  poo poo. Remember all those "diabolical ambushes" from your childhood spent playing XCOM? Watch a video of XCOM with fog of war disabled. Half the enemies are stuck in a bathroom stall at any given time. Lobotomized hamsters probably coordinate better.

I remember in Apocolypse I always had a hell of a time clearing the buildings because there'd always be at least *one* loving alien who decided the best vantage point would be atop the shitter. Though since it was usually a spitter maybe it was just a cutting commentary on Bulimia.

I thought the flare launcher was the single most amazing mix of gameplay and atmosphere I'd yet seen. The dynamic coloured lighting and water effects were pretty much the best available at the time. I remember starting the Alien demo, where you spawn in a pool of water, and just running back and forth watching the water surface deform with ripples and debris bobbing up and down. The bunker multiplayer level also had some pretty volumetric effects I'd never seen before, although I think they might be scripted instead of generated. These days I'm the kind of developer who would have just spent 90% of the time working on lighting, water and particles.

glitchkrieg posted:interesting AVP 2000 stuff I remember when the original game was released there was no mid-level saving, or checkpointing, whatsoever. This had the effect of making gameplay incredibly tense, as your character could often be taken out in an instant. Saving was later added in a patch, but I'd be interested to know if leaving it out was a genuine gameplay decision or a happy accident.

Wow, I actually remember this exact demo disc when I was a kid. It had sooooo many amazing demos on it, I think it was something ridiculous like close to 80 (or a ~100?) on one disc, AVP being the gem. A lot of games of which we never heard from again but I specifically remember AVP and the magazine ads for it giving me a hard on just thinking of playing a space marine holding a smartgun, of course, as much as I loved PC games I was a dumb kid and I didn't own a graphics card capable of playing the game so I couldn't play the demo  . Ahhh, gently caress, nostalgia, those were the days when I used to browse the magazine section of the grocery store and theorize whether anyone would notice if I tore the plastic magazine covering and nabbed the demo discs. Downloading poo poo was NOT an option, I don't even think we had internet access back then.I guess this is why A:CM bit me so hard because i've been yearning for that game since I was a child.

loving AvP 1999 was the first game that made realize that graphics cards are a thing in your pc, because AvP was the first game that ran absolutely terrible and had these black boxes around all of it's effects! A flare was for me nothing but a thing that would turn a choppy game into a slideshow with black, squary smoke comming out of it.  Then, there was also Mplayer. Oh god, Mplayer.
