Aliens vs Predator- US Hunter Edition Confirmed!Hunter Edition confirmed for US consumers! There, I can finally say it; the Hunter Edition which was announced fairly recently from our European friends is now 100% confirmed in the US with an added bonus – a hardcover graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics featuring the original Aliens vs Predator comic!
Don’t worry, all the other goodies are still included, such as the four Multiplayer maps (before they release to the general public), a fully articulated and disturbingly creepy Facehugger model, Weyland Yutani sleeve badge, and a 3D lenticular postcard. To sweeten the deal, if you pre-order you can pick up some exclusive skins for all three species in multiplayer.

Why no PC love, guys? Bioshock 1 & 2 special edition went to PC
Mass Effect 2 special edition went to PC. Come on, show some love for the guys who made Rebeliiion who they were back in 1999. Give the PC a chance!

I have to agree. I would much rather play this on the PC. but I have to say the hunter package is cool. it might just be worth it for the facehugger.

It would be a regrettable Epic Fail on publisher Sega’s part if the PC special editions that European Customers are getting would somehow not be sold in the US. There is no need to pull an Activision-Blizzard MW2 on the PC community and limit special editions to consoles. You’re missing out on money, and you want to make money, right? That’s why you’re in the game publishing business, yes? So do the fiscally sensible thing: publish and manufacture both Survivor and Hunter editions for PC consumers in the US territories. Fifty bucks more per special edition sold is booku money. Hopefully, the right person will read this and all the other posts on various fan sites regarding this issue. Cheers.

Ebgames (gamestop) as of today, in Canada does not have a hunter edition availble, and Amazon does not sell the hunter edition outside of the US.

I really hope this makes it to Canda. If anyone is listening, can someone tell me if it will come to Canadian gametsops? Because I just called my local store and they dont even have it in their systems yet. So, come on SEGA bring it to Canada

Where’s the PC version of the Hunter Edition!? The PC version is going to be the best, look the best, play the best, why can’t we get all the extras if we want!? It’s a good way to make sure people don’t just steal your game, give them something they want with it. I mean c’mon EVERYONE else and their mom have released a pc special edition. I got the survival edition of fallout 3 for the pc. C’mon!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE’S MY PC VERSION!

I have spoken with Gamestop about wether the Hunter edition will be availble in Canada and the answer is no.
Makes no sense to me for the US and Europe to have it and not us.
I was told that you can order it off the gamestop US site if you really want it but they cant promise Street date delivery.
Sorry guys

Just to correct the above post by AVPSupernerd
the hunter edition is not just EU as the above article alone is titled “Aliens vs Predator- US Hunter Edition Confirmed!”
though he is right it is not for the PC just Xbox 360 and PS3

dont you all realise that the consoles now are the new PC? in terms of gaming except for maybe one or 2 genres. Especially on Microsofts behalf. They have switched from PC to consoles for gaming. its actually smarter and more profitable.

Consoles are the new PC? Dude, are you dumb? Modern gaming PC’s are capable of better physics, graphics, and gameplay then any console game.
1. Mouse and keyboard support
Well, duh. Console kids who have grown up with a controller in hand might argue, but there’s still no better way of playing just about any game in any genre – not just shooters – than the combination of keyboard and mouse. It just works, offering orders of magnitude more precision and speed than fiddly analogue sticks.
2. High screen resolutions
While Microsoft and Sony scream about ‘true HD’ in their games – but in many cases don’t actually deliver it – the PC has been happily running games at 1080p and above for yonks. In fact, the near-HD default res of 1,280×1,024 is very 2001; even a medium rig can handle 1,600×1,200 or more these days.
3. Free mods
Were you a raw naif, you might be forgiven for thinking that LittleBigPlanet et al single-handedly invented the idea of (nnnggh) ‘user generated content’. But guess what? PC gamers have been coding mods (modifications) such as add-ons, total conversions, unofficial levels and all manner of other gubbins for… well, pretty much forever. And then distributing it for free, for the sheer love of it.
4. Upgradeable hardware
With the aforementioned higher resolutions and textures, chances are a new PC game already looks better than its console counterpart right now. But even if you can’t run it with all the visuals tweaked to the max, processor and graphic cards prices drop so quickly that it’s hardly bank-breaking to refit your rig in a year or so, for better graphics and more speed.
5. Cheaper games
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo’s licensing and publishing costs inevitably drive up the cost of every single game released, and even pre-owned games tend to be far pricier than the PC equivalent.
6. You’re not tied to one online service
Imagine not having to rely on a single, central server such as Xbox Live or PlayStation Network whenever you go online. Imagine not having to suffer downtimes, silly licensing agreements, or daft console-restricting DRM. Oh wait… that’s the PC online, isn’t it?
7. No extra dosh needed for playing online
Okay, this only applies to Xbox Live, but who’s to say that Sony might not start charging for PSN as it keeps haemorrhaging money? And yes, Xboxers can use the free Silver service, but really – why would you?
8. Unlimited storage space
The Xbox 360 is limited to whatever can fit on a DVD (or, if you’re unlucky, more than one). The PlayStation 3 has to struggle with turgid Blu-ray access and enforced installs. PC games, meanwhile, just sit happily on the potentially unlimited storage space of your hard drive. Easy.
9. Save game hacking
Like modders, PC gamers are rabidly enthusiastic about pulling apart save games and data files, fiddling therein, and finding ingenious ways to cheat or fix corrupted files. Try doing that with your Wii.
10. Unofficial fixes for older games
PC games such as Vampire: The Masquerade often get unofficial, free, support long after publishers have gone kaput and official support is abandoned, thanks to the tireless efforts of their fans. Bug fixes, enhancements, new hardware support – it’s all there.
11. Abandonware
The geek term for ‘old games which you can’t buy any more’. There are a huge number of classic PC titles out there from years gone by, and many thousands are available to download, legally, for free.

sega – please try it the same way, EA did with Dead Space. everyone know its a scifi-horror game for adults. so even if it gets a 18+ usk rating, its still better then avoiding a whole market.
beside that, there could be problems for those ppl, while using steam as a copyprotection, cause it could reject the ip for the imported game, and if that will happen, this game will be pirated like hell and every place full of flames and rants.

Totally agree with the british dude i’m form wales and it so BS that the us gets more and pays less, whats that all about its not like its hard to print a few extra codes on the code sheet that has the extra downloadable levels on them. And why is canada aloud to market the product but not the extra content as if its offensive, more offensive than ripping peoples heads off in the game.lol seriously sometimes i don’t understand these descisions, i’m sure there is many valid reasons but lets face it that doesn’t make it fair.

I purchased the Hunter Edition to find the facehugger tail to be broken. I went back to store that it was purchased from. They gave me a website for Sega to get a replacement. When I went to locate website it just took me to the news story regarding some Hunter Editions with broken facehuggers and the website to visit for replacement and 1-800# to call for replacement. neither of which have been helpful. Could someone please direct me in the direction that is accurate. I would hate to have this leave a bad taste in the mouth of someone who buys practically every new PS3 game that comes out.

if theres this many problems in just shipping it out then i dont think im gona even buy it anymore. i heard after each level you switch races and play as something else. thats garbage there should be 3 campaigns.
Posted by chris on February 18th, 2010 at 10:12 am
Comment # 50
Chris,
Don’t worry. You don’t have to switch races after each level – though you do have the option to. You can finish one campaign before starting the next
