having no enemies on the 1st level of the PC AvP was a thing of genius... built so much tension as you threw flares around crying in the dark

The Predator multiplayer mode on AVP 2010 was absolutely unreal when you had a good group of players

The Grabs in AvP 2010 were Suicidal to do in Multiplayer cause you could still be backstabbed in the middle of the animation. Sometimes this caused a Conga-line of Backstabbing cause you could backstab another backstabber

AVP Extinction was my first ever RTS game before I even knew what RTS was. It was amazingly fun and brings back so much nostalgia.

Playing AvP Gold and AVP2 on Gamespy Arcade back in the early 2000s was such a memorable part of my life

Fun fact: in the original script for The Predator (2018), the reveal of the Predator-killer in the capsule was originally supposed to be Schwarzenegger, but he turned down the role after reading the script. And honestly who can blame him.

AVP 2010 will forever be my favorite because they actually made the human part scary. That opening as the marine was sooooooo good

Loved playing Extinction as a kid, i was just absolutely distraught when i found out that it was console only after growing up.

AvP2 multiplayer ran my life for months. And the single player Marine campaign was incredible.

The Marine campaign in AVP 2010 was fantastic, I remember getting really attached to Tequila and doing everything possible to try to save her.

AVP 2 had the best multiplayer around. Life Cycle mode where you started as a face hugger, and lived through the alien cycle while fighting predators and humans was insane.

There was a mode in AVP 2010 multiplayer where one team were Marines and the other team were aliens. It was like infection from COD. One guy starts as an alien and if you die to join that team. It was fucking amazing on the pyramid map. Good times. Underrated game for it's time.

I probably played the wave based mode in the first AvP for hundreds of hours seeing how long I could last each run. The first two games are great and I LOVE the AvP arcade game.

I was playing AvP on the marine campaign; face hugger killed me; scared the shit out of me! At that exact moment there was a cricket under my shirt moving; almost died of a heart attack!! One of the best and worst moments of gaming!!! I’ll remember it forever!!

AVP 2010 is memorable most for me and I get overly happy and euphoric when I play it now cause back in 2011 when my dad couldn't really do much in terms of getting out of the house. He would like watching me play various games. He liked Dirt 3 a lot, and found GTA4 absolutely histarical lol. He always would ask me though every other day or so to play AVP. He loved watching me play as the Predator jumping from tree to tree in the jungles and taking heads off. He loved the story of all 3 campaigns and he could never get the hand eye coordination down with fps games. He would drive around on GTA and play some split screen on dirt. He use to play the old Grand Turismo games on the og PS1 back in the 90's while I was a baby grasshopper watching him. So that's why I love this game. Not because the graphics at the time were amazing or gameplay was crazy good. Or the interesting story. It was cause my dad would sit there for hours never getting tired of watching me run through the various stories over and over again. He would pass away in 2012, to this day everytime I see AVP I remember all those hours at what I didn't know was the end of his road. All the laughs he had, the excitement he showed. AVP 2010 will always be the GOAT for that. 💪

I really agree with your take on the AVP 2010 reception. It's no masterpiece, but it does feel people were overly harsh towards it. Put it next to Colonial Marines or even Fireteams Elite and it starts looking a lot better. The levels, the executions, the multiplayer. Honestly, if it came out today people would go crazy for it

AVP2 blew me away when I was 12, it's soooo good.

AvP2 will forever be one of my favorites of all time. The multiplayer especially was so much crazy fun. No other game since AvP2 has been able to capture how much fun that MP was.

AVP 2001 is still the scariest game I have played. I remember as a kid a particular level in marine campaign. At the start the commander says "Tyrago is overrun by aliens, so watch your back". I remember because I died so many times trying (this was before gold edition)

AvP2 is a masterpiece, easily one of my all time favorite FPSs.

the thing about AVP 2010 is that youre seeing the story of the "location" played out at different times. like, all 3 stories are happening simultaneously, and each main character is missing the other by, at most, a couple of hours.

avp 1999 (2000) blew my mind at the time. A first person game from that era having three campaigns and multiple characters was unheard of back then. The controls for the pred and alien were so unique at the time, especially with the vision modes etc. The sense of verticality and the atmosphere and sound effects were cutting edge. The wave based mode beat gears of wars horde mode to the punch by like 6-7 years.

AVP on the Atari Jaguar was way ahead of its time. It blew me away seeing it for the first time. Playing solo FPS games back in early 90s was so so eerie man. They were new and fresh back then.

Good reviews. I was a tester and junior design monkey on AvP Extinction. There were.... reasons so many things were the way they were. I could spend hours going over why we were told we had to do certain things that were frankly not great for the final product. Fun project to work on though.

AvP Extinction is a definite guilty pleasure of mine. Loved setting up an almost automated alien hive.

Love AvP 2010. EVERY year I hope at every single gaming event that a new one will be announced. Going 13 years strong on disappointment~!

It’s insane to me that AVP 2010 holds up till today. That game brought me so much fun back then and even really enjoyed the multiplayer too! I wish they would make an AVP game with the unreal engine. I’d also love a switch port of AVP 2010 :,)

It’s a damn shame that AVP2 hasn’t be put on anything. I really wanna play it.

Honorable mention, Predator Concrete Jungle, my favorite, a very complete game, there is a part in this game where the Aliens appear.

Gman never fails to make me lauugh with his random ass simpson cut aways

I've spent 4 years of my life playing AvP2. I even became the leader of the best clan we had here in Italy, I still remember the clanwars with teams from all over europe. Good old times

I loved AvP 2 as a teenager. Playing online was a huge part of my formative years, and I made a lot of friends. For a long time I was hosting Alien vs. Predator dueling servers, with the occasional Predator vs. Queen matches. Great times. You always felt like a badass when you manage to jump over the queen's one-shot tail to land that super clean spear headshot.

AvP2 still has one of the best multiplayer modes of any fps

2010 is no doubt the best one, still went back to play it every few years.

I’ve got a lot of fond memories of AVP 2010. When it came out, I was in the Army at the time and lived in the barracks, and we would get drunk and set up LAN matches. The losing team had to shotgun a beer and take a shot haha. Good times!

The first few levels of AvP2's Marine campaign remain a masterclass in building to and releasing tension. That whole trip into the hive and subsequent escape alone is one of very few videogame levels I would personally consider perfect and capable of standing entirely on its own.

I loved AvP 2000 as the Alien. So fun crawling on the ceiling and walls, breaking the lights and hearing the humans whimper in the dark before you bite their head off.

What a fantastic era of PC games. I remember many hours in AVP1&2, NOLF1&2, Deus Ex, Unreal Tournament, Mafia, Far Cry, and of course Half-Life. Late 90s and early 00s will never be surpassed.

This just reminds me that we need AvP2 re-released to the world again. Come on GOG!

I remember I jumped on a predator in avp1, I was lying in wait on the ceiling right above him and ended up one shotting him mid-air with the little head move. Playing an alien, lurking in the dark and running above you on the ceiling and on the walls was and still is a special thing to me.

AvP 1999/2000 genuinely gave me nightmares as a kid and had the most "movie quality" intro / menu system. It was so cinematic and polished. I still remember the xenomorphs "pheromone view" mode and it strikes me as one of the best and earliest ways of explaining how the xenomorphs see us.

I played Extinction like crazy back in the days. Love the Predator gameplay so much. 3 or 4 of the military predators and boom, you're blasting everything like nobody's business.

I actually spent several hours just exploring the maps in AVP Extinction, trying to raise the biggest hive possible.

Easily my two favorite action/horror movies! ...Then combining them into a controllable game world (1999) was 100% terrifying!

AVP 2000 was such a OP game back then. Loved it with Half Life, Quake and Unreal.

There was a bowling alley I went to as a kid that had the Capcom AVP game. My brother and I beating it as the Warrior and Hunter Predators is probably my favorite gaming-related memory.

Dude, that no-save hardcore version of the game from 1999 is the scariest shit I've ever played. My nerves after making it through some missions. I played it on the Director's Cut difficulty too, so if you weren't careful, you would die from killing a xeno, just from the acid splattering all over the place.

A core memory I have is playing the AVP arcade in some mall on a family vacation when I was like 10 and nearly beating the game with just first quarter I put in. Felt like a god the rest of that vacation. That game is still so much fun!

I love AVP 2010! I’m glad you’re bringing more attention to it

I remember AVP 2 as a kid i probably played it through 40 times or more since my shitty computer could run it well on super low settings. Man those were the days.

AVP 2 for me represents this whole era of amazing games in the early 2010s. That was such a golden age, thought it would last forever😢

The Predator boss fight in AvP2's Marine campaign is the series' highlight for me. You spend half the campaign avoiding this thing only to be thrown into a life or death showdown with it. Pure awesomeness

Man that 2010 AVP game was so fuckin slept on here in the states. Such a solid game.

Extinction was the first AvP game I played. I know that it's an odd game out of the series, but I had tons of fun bringing hosts back to the hive.

Your really long form videos are my favorites dude! I absolutely loved the AvP games.

I used to love the 3 way pvp mode between Aliens vs Marines vs Predators Used to play alot of LAN parties on that

AVP2 was my first and I was addicted. I first played the multiplayer demo. So much fun. The vibe was preem.

I LOVED Extinction. I plugged hours and hours into that game, and I'm so disappointed they never made another RTS AvP game.

I loved extinction as a kid, would love to replay it again.

I played these games back in the early 2000's and some of the horror aspects were way ahead of their time.

imagine a new alien vs predator with today's graphics.that would be sick

AvP 2010 is incredibly underrated and and great game for its time and for being a smaller budget shooter

i couldnt get enough of AvP2 and even its expansion as a kid. this video came out coincidentally on the day i got back into AvP. its such a shame that the series has been abandoned for 13 years, it deserves more, at least the seperate Aliens games and one unsuccessful predator game will keep my hopes up.

AVP2 is my childhood classic. I've spent more hours playing it and shitting my pants or watching my brother play than I probably did studying. I'm also pretty sure it gave me a permanent tachycardia. Thanks for the video!

I really enjoyed AVP 2010 and found it really underrated

I played AVP Extinction to death back in the day, love that game so much.

I remember playing AVP 2 on PC as a teen. I remember loving how the 3 storylines were interconnected and that at one point all 3 protagonists were in the same room with each other, if only for a few seconds.

This was a comprehensive and well researched documentary! Fantastic work my dude! I gotta say, I think Aliens VS Predator 2 was the best of the whole lot. The story is great, the campaigns are all immensely satisfying to play and there's so much extra detail and lore in the levels. Great memories!

AVP extinction was amazing, introduced me to RTS and loved it

AvP2 marine campaign is one of the best FPS games ever. I remember playing it back in the day both alone and with friends and not believing something this awesome actually exists. I also enjoyed Colonial Marines (yeah, I know) and AvP2010, but AvP2 is unbeatable. Alien Isolation is the only game as good, although completely different of course.

AVP2 was my first experience of online multiplayer. Even over 56k it was very hard to play but what a game that was. A remake would be incredible.

I spent countless hours playing AvP2 online. It seemed the majority of players favored playing as the Predator, as most games consisted of Predators spamming plasma casters everywhere. Personally, I played as Alien almost exclusively, and it was always a blast bounding around the maps, killing players by surprise by pouncing from all sorts of crazy angles, and eventually killing enough of them to evolve into a Queen and decimate everyone.

1 hour video? Absolutly fine because this series has a special place in my heart.

AvP 2 is still in my top 10 when it comes to FPS Games, sure the Predator and Alien campaign arent a 10/10 but still great, but damn the Marine Campaign is such a wild ride and nearly perfect. Its more of a survival horror Game then a FPS Game, i pissed my pants so many times, full panic mode again and again. So many memorable moments and a solid story, again i dont know why the movies did not just copy the story of the Games...

The thing I will always remember about the Jaguar game was playing the marine and hearing the predator whisper "hey over here".

Thank you for doing avp 2010! I've literally been asking for this forever.

AvP2 was my all time favorite. I had a buttload of mods from PlanetAvP, I loved the gameplay. Especially the tweaks they made to Alien and a predator, as well as the atmosphere the Marine campaign had. I remember one time close to the end of the school year, I installed the game on every single computer in our computer lab, and I’ll never forget the rage our Lab Teacher was dropping every time he heard an alien screech or a smart gun whine. Also that Capcom Brawler was sick. Lt Kurosawa is one of the coolest Capcom Protags ever made.

APV2 is unironically one of my favorite shooters ever. I really liked the gameplay and atmosphere of it. I wish they made more games like it. The 3 species alone provides so much variety.

Awesome vid man! Love the cut always to the movies great job as always!

20 years later, I still have fond memories of playing online multiplayer in AVP2. I play as the Marine, and I see a light predator. I draw a knife. He draws wrist blades. I came out the victory.

I remember playing the marine campaign on AVP1 and using console commands to spawn in different types of marines and xenos for big battles

AVP2 had a really bad ass campaign. And the multiplayer was so much fun. I remember absolutely wrecking marine players while playing as a xenomorph.

Avp 2010 was my first. I'll never forget playing the marine campaign with my dad watching and the moment where you're running around waiting to hack open a door and the motion tracker was going off with the ridiculous amount of xenos. Had a lot of fun with the multiplayer as well

I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS! THANK YOU!!!

The marine campaign in AvP2 will always have a special place in my heart for one reason. At the end of the campaign, Harrison tells Tomoko his name. Andrew. My name. And hearing that for the first time as probably a 10 year old kid blew my mind because what are the chances?

AVP2 multiplayer was the best. I miss it so much. I remember when playing as a predator most chad preds would limit themselves to combistic and maybe bombs and disk. The highlight of my life was soloing a queen in multi with combistick... awww memories.

It's hilarious you say that about the Jaguar version haha That game was insane. It had little covers to go over the controller for each faction you used... Crap I feel old now haha

I really enjoyed the segment on the AvP arcade game. I played that many a year ago on a family trip to Florida. The beach was hot and unpleasant, but the hotel's air-conditioned arcade was great because it had AvP! I noted all the praise you placed on this game and that made me super happy, because I remembered it as being awesome and hoped that wasn't just nostalgia.

The throwing disk just shredding that Xenomorph would have looked so badass back then. Turok on my 64 was so damn awesome for how brutal it was. Not many games made it seem like you did more then just health bar damage till they fell over.

AVP 2010 was goated

Avp 2 and nolf are some of my favorite games from childhood. Both on the same engine. The lithtech engine is so deeply engrained in my psyche that creepy mannequin npcs and chunky guns will always look so good to me

Hot damn, what an amazing review and compilation. Thanks a ton Gman!

AVP 99-2K is the best one. The sounds are 100% from the movies. With the alien you can scare, stalk, lure and ambush humans, you need to be tactical, if there is a molotov cocktail involved attack from above with your tail, listen for turrets... Some way the Predator campaign is the most scary but only on some levels because the vision modes highlight one enemy while the other type is invisible, when there are aliens and humans mixed get ready to get jump scared. The Marine one can be unnerving but there are two ways to play, run and gun and push thru the aliens with no time to be scared XD or go slow and methodical with the flares and the motion tracker. AVP2 has great points like the alien full life cycle but is ruined by the cheap jump attack you can do.

Saviour server mod for avp2 multiplayer remains the indisputed online experience for me. 22 years of avp2 multi, still keep coming back from time to time Survivor games were my favorite.

I loved Avp 2010 cuz of the fact you can play as an alien

Extinction is the most memorable one for me as a kid keep playing it back then from day till night and strangely i remember that there's this certain smell everytime i played it.

AVP 2010 was nostalgic for me, going to Gamestop to pick up a copy and playing the Alien campaign over and over again was the best.

AVP Gold Edition & AVP2 were my first proper PC games on my own PC and not like at a friends house or a relatives. Absolutely adore those games, and I kind of like AVP2010 as well, not perfect, but the eye candy and the game mechanics with alien stealth and predator stealth and kills just feeds the nostalgia for those creatures. Good vid, man I hope Nightdive get to remaster AVP2 one day, and that we get a new game trying to recapture those same elements.

That cheeky little jumpscare in AVP 2 actually triggers your motion sensor as well to add to the freak out 😂
