Sega has revealed what Aliens vs. Predator: Hunter Edition will look like when it hits store shelves on February 19. As we revealed yesterday, this special edition version of Rebellion's shooter will feature a Facehugger model, Weyland-Yutani badge and posh lenticular postcard. I think this is ten times more awesome than the Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition.
Even though I will most likely get a review copy of the game, I severely doubt I'd get sent the Hunter Edition, so something tells me I'll be putting a pre-order in very soon. Even if the game ends up being bad, that is the kind of badass packaging that any Xenomorph fanboy should own. If the game turns out to be great, that'll just be an extra bonus.
Check out the goodies and let us know what you reckon.

I want you so bad
I want you
I want you so bad
It's drivin' me mad
It's drivin' me mad
I WANT YOU!
Can use that facehugger to freak the shit out of the Missus.
I mean, what else could they add besides bad-ass human, alien, and predator deathmatch action? It sounds cool, but there have been so many AVP games that just fall by the wayside...
This one is shipping with a MOTHERFUCKING facehugger!
That IS a big difference. That thing looks HUGE.
or at least DLC that doesn't cost $10 that should have been included in the game to begin with!
The creepiness of that statement made my penis shrink a little.
Seriously. *shudder*
I want to hug faces when I grow up.
And shit aliens down throats.
Kidding :D
With complete sincerity I say yes.
Yes it is.
I'm getting it.
still going to get this. never got to play the pc versions online but the single player was still cool.
@locke are you referring to the game as crap or the items coming in the collections?
Any info on this being a retailer exclusive or pricing details?? Seriously, as long as I can get this on the high street for less than £150, it will be mine instantly.
P.S. My young brother is petrified of Facehuggers... *creates evil plans*
I'll probably get the middle one though.
Probably.
Done and done!
At the least decent. However, I still think the game's going to kick huge amounts of ass.
Gonna save my money for this.
your excitement for this game is nothing compared to mine jim
Any word on price?
That's my only interest.
All this other crap is irrelevant to the game.
Like an 8 dollar tub of popcorn at the movies.
I'll believe something this awesome is true until I see it.
I'll just let that bounce around in your head.
The lesson is: don't bitch about special editions. If you don't want one, don't buy one. Complaining about it then buying one makes you look a little silly.
In the UK, this can be pre-ordered from GAME Stores. (Not Online YET)
What I would do for an air soft colonial marine m41-a pulse rifle...
Still that is pretty cool, that hugger should go nicely with my plush one. =D
I am looking forward to this game. Now to buy it for the PC or PS3... Prolly PC, since I played the first two on it.
I want...but probably won't get for the EXACT same reason. I'm not a fan of arachnids in the first place, so a replica of a tailed spider that jumps up to facefuck you to your eventual violent, painful death does not inspire buying that package for that reason alone.
It's just gross.
So a game coming out (never played the original ones on PC) where you can be a motherfucking Xenomorph equals countless hours of fun. I've always loved Aliens. They're way more badass than Predators, who i can see as being pretty overrated already.
Bring on the facehuggers and Alien asskicking please.
