Aliens vs. Predator box art confirms Aliens and Predators photo

The PC box art for Aliens vs. Predator has been revealed, confirming that Aliens and Predators will feature in Aliens vs. Predator. That's pretty good to know. In any case, if you're planning to buy the game for PC at retail, you now know exactly what you're looking at when you go to the store. How nice. 

As you can see, the box art is very green. It also has logos and numbers on it, as well as many different types of letters in a selection of fonts. Fonts is a word that basically means "what words look like." I think I've now written enough to pad out this article, so I'll leave it there.

I still wonder Just what the hell are those little skulls the Predator? What? Did the Predator kill a space rat and decided it would look great on his bandolier?

Pfft, I'd rather wear an croc skull or some space shark skulls.

Just as long as they are keeping dedicated servers for the PC, then I'm happy.

CONFIRMED: The Predator looks like a badass (with his helmet/mask/thing on).

@ Locke,

Technically yes in that it is new info. Whether it's hard enough JOURNALISM for you or not is irrelevant to the fact that it's technically news.

You really don't get how a slow news day works do you?

This box art looks bad. Especially the Xenomorph. His face looks really low in poly count. His teeth are all flat, and his head is lacking detail.

I would expect this from a last gen video game, not a current gen.

That's some heavy-hitting journalism, there, Lou.

I dig it. It's box art. I don't pay TOO much attention to box art considering I don't see it that often. It certainly doesn't make a game. But it channels the box art from the previous games, so that's pretty win.

So, there are those who would think that a game called Aliens vs. Predator would NOT have those characters in game? Amazing.

What a newsworthy post!

Judging by the title, it'll have just one predator. :D

Someones always gotta bitch about how shitty graphics look. Maybe it looks "low poly count" because of the lighting or the way they are stylized on the cover. I don't think it's necessarily bad because of this, just not too clever. It is just too obvious, nothing really artistic or cool looking.

It's not bad, but it isn't good either.

@acare84 I agree, I'd rather it be on steam.

@ njsykora

Well there's plenty of PC news to be had, its just that console gamers don't know where to find it. I found all kinda news today on other sites, and todays slow news day means that yesterdays news that was left out could be added.

I guess someone missed the "Games for Windows" in the box art. PC supremacy!

I'm not liking the trend in crappy boxart. I mean, at least these guys have an excuse-It's moderately difficult to get 3 separate styles in one design, but the green-ness and the awful artwork is ridiculous.

Since when to Predator's have glowing eyes on their helmets, and what's with the low-res?

Not to mention the guy from the GRAW2 cover art is on the bottom.

That box art burned my retinas. I am now blind. Thanks, Sega. By the way, aren't Predators aliens? Isn't this game really Aliens vs Other Aliens? I admit, I haven't seen a single Predator movie but they look like aliens so I think I have a point.

I'm cautiously optimistic now. Rebellion don't have an exactly good track record with their recent games...

I'm not so hype all over this game anymore... seeing what Rebellion did to Rogue Warrior.

@josh rousen
well, I watched the original predator on blu ray the other night, while beer-ing it up, and the predators eyes actually did glow yellow while he had his helmet on at some points, the yellow eyes were all you could see. so umm... since the very first movie is since when his eyes have glowed with the helmet on.
