I got an answer from Anton (sort of) regarding news
 

I decided enough was enough and after seeing Anton post daily in the yuplay forum for wings of prey, i decided registered and posted in it yesterday to his latest reply. Saying the following -

Maybe Anton should answer others before giving this 100%!!

Anton why have you abandoned the BoP forum and neglected the 360 users who do not have the patch you promised us? You come here posting daily about this game, but should maybe think about fixing your last one or at least have the common decency to answer the guys who have done nothing but stand by you through thick and thin!!

Some news is better than no news!!

Please have the decency to get back on that forum and let us know what is going on

The above is what i wrote.This morning Anton replied to it with the following-


I simply can't. Not allowed, I mean. BoP's international publisher is 505 Games, and they can forbid developer's to have public relations - and they did it.



How you all look into this is upto you.

Oh, that's not good... :(

Indeed, that really is no good.

We need to pressure 505 Games into releasing information. I knew it wasn't Antons fault

Nope not at all good if its genuine. Its definately looks like the patch won't be happening.

And most likely there will be no more DLC, or German cockpits.

Harsh :(

Didn't anton once say that it had been sent for QA? did it fail?

Thats what were lead to believe. It all points towards no patch what so ever now. They have given it up and not deemed it worthy of sorting out and have put all their efforts into wings of prey.

Hope im wrong.

Hmmm i think you're right you know.

But lets keep our spirits high and not dwell on it

See what the near future holds. I've tried a different approach for 505 games to ;) its the first time i've contacted them. So lets see how that one turns out. After 19th feb i wont be playing this game much anymore :(

AvP3 comes out :D and i've got some serious Alien ass to kick with my pulse rifle.

Ok great, lets see what they have to say for themselves.

AvP3? that the one where you are able to choose from all three species? online and SP

Yup :D

alien, predator, or colonial marine :D

Its going to be superb. If like me you love the aliens/predator films then this game is what you've been waiting for lol.

As for 505games... not holding my breathe, but lets hope eh.

Yeah thats the one! ive had it pre-ordered from shop-to for a while now, i also am a huge fan of the series bought them ALL the other week in a box set for £16 in HMV

Yup fingers crossed they do get in touch however unlikely it may seem

box set for £16 is a good buy!! i bought them all years ago one by one as dvd's haha. Cost me a pretty penny!! Worth it though. Great films. Not pre ordered it yet. Was going to wait for the hunter edition.

Woah woah woah! Hunter Edition! what does this involve? im intrigued!

Hunter edition involves.....

a couple of bonus MP maps that are not yet going to be released to the general public
3 exclusive MP character skins, one for each race
a weyland yutani sleeve badge
a postard type thing
game comes in a collectable steel book type packaging

And the final piece....

a full size fully adjustable facehugger :D

. . . . . Speechless, any idea when it goes on sale?

its limited edition, but will be on sale the same time as the normal game. 19TH feb over here in UK, 16th in US.

Not sure if you can only get the hunter edition by pre ordering online though. I need to find out.

Game over man, game over. I will be having some of that! Sounds like best special edition ever. Aliens and predator actually rate above star wars for me. Me n mate used to play halo religiously and our users were Hudson and Hicks. On some LAN parties couldn't resist using the quote "I'm Hudson he's Hicks sir"

This is the 505 Games support link.


Please send them an email in regards to the 360 patch.
(I doubt it will work, but it can't hurt. Besides, it only takes a minute to do.)


This game is moving ever closer to a trade in credit on BFBC2.

Dont worry i've already contacted them through another source ;) i'll let you know how it goes.

A day in the cores likes a day on the farm. Every meal a banquet, every pay check a fortune.... I LOVE THE CORE!

What do you mean THEY cut the power? how can they cut the power, their animals man!!

hudson - hey vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man?
vasquez - No! why have you?

where can you get AVP hunter edition in the uk?cant find it anywhere

nowhere yet. It should be added soon to various places. One at least.

Haha, some classic quotes right there. You gotta love hudson

How bout this :grin:

Hudson- Maybe it's like an anthive?
Vasquez- Bees, man. Bees have hives!

oh....mah....gawd!!!!

SOLD!

Haha a classic!

or -

yeah bishop should go, yeah thats a good idea, send bishop.

Stop yer grinin and drop yer linen... found em!

gorman - any questions
hudson - yeah i got one...how do i get out of this chickenshit outfit

They're coming outa the goddam walls!

You all better buy this, beacuse you know the 4 player co-op aliens game being made by sega that currently halted production. If AvP does well thats starting back up, and who doesnt want some 4 player action versus the ultimate prey

"Someone said alien, Vasquez though they said illegal alien and signed up"

Actually, best line of the film


"LETS ROCK!!!!" The delivery is everything.

Haha Great ones right there, who'd have thought there would be so much comedy in a Horror ;)

Aside from the TDM modes etc that AvP will offer it also has a 4 player co op mode similar to the horde mode on GOW2. Basically is 4 marines (all human players) defending against an endless horde of aliens. Much like the last stand in the film :D cant wait.

As for the "other" aliens game "colonial marines" its still in production but is the second game in line after AvP as part of a trilogy.

Anymore quotes people?

Hicks - i like to keep this handy for close encounters
frost - i hear that

Hicks - I wanna introduce you to a personal friend of mine. This is an M41A pulse rifle. Ten millimeter with over-and-under thirty millimeter pump action grenade launcher.

or

Hudson - I'm ready, man, check it out. I am the ultimate badass! State of the badass art! You do NOT wanna **** with me. Check it out! Hey Ripley, don't worry. Me and my squad of ultimate badasses will protect you! Check it out! Independently targeting particle beam phalanx. Vwap! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phase-plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks...

Apone - Knock it off, Hudson.

Hudson- Let's just bug out and call it even, OK? What are we talking about this for?
Ripley- I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hudson- Fuckin' A...
Burke- Ho-ho-hold on, hold on one second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley- They can *bill* me.

Apone: Allright, sweethearts, you heard the man and you know the drill! Assholes and elbows!

I dont know if you been keeping up with occuring events pal but we just got our asses kicked back their!!


hudson -17 days? were not going to last 17 hours with them things running around.

ripley - that little girl (newt) lasted longer than that with no weapons or training!!

hudson - thats great man, why dont you but her in charge then!!

Yeah, that Alien vs Predator game looks pretty cool. I can't wait to play the Alien! Hiding in the shadows, stalking prey, just waiting for the right time to drag a guy up into the air ducts and kill him. :D I used to love watching the first two Alien movies as a kid, Alien (The first) is probably my favorite. Aliens is good too, but Hicks (Hudson) kinda drove me nuts with his constant complaining.

Yea, that game mode where everyone is a marine except for one person as a predator sounds great fun!

Aliens are gonna be one hell of a tough opponent as they move so fast and can move up any surface

I found out of all then alien films "aliens" was the greatets. I just love the colonial marines, i think they are excellent.

I think in the film hudsons character was played very well. He starts of being cocky and acting like the hero and the big man, then when the shit hits the fan you see how soft he actually is and how he's not the hard ass he acts. Then when the aliens attack towards the end (just before he gets dragged through the floor) you see him "man up" and do what he's capable of and really give it tothe aliens before he goes. He was my best character in the film :D

Im really looking forward to the game though, walking around as a marine looking for anything..... then suddenly... bleep, bleep, BLEEP, BLEEP 60 metres, 50 metres, 40 metres its closing in what ever it is..... 30 metres....

then it just stops....

the panic sets in because i know im being stalked.

I dont need to panic to much though because i know i've got my mates with me, armed to the teeth with pulse rifles and smart guns. We got this.

Suddenly....

"oh f**k" their coming out of the walls!! above us!! look out!! help me!!

We get attacked from all sides, mates dropping left right and centre to the aliens.

Game over man. Game over :(

i cant wait!!! :D

"Newt... my names Newt, nobody calls me Rebbeca"
"and your expensive ship"
"what are we supposed to do.. use harsh language"
"She thought they said illegale alien and signed up"

Haha too frikken funny you guys.. i though my wife and i were the only ones that got this. Almost every line of this movie is quoteable!!

Yeah man but its a dry heat

How many drops is this for you Gorman?

He's coming in
I feel safer already

Oh he likes you Burke

We're on an express elevator to hell....going down

I have to say though that chickenshit outfit line is the best. Ever since that line was uttered I always wanted to say that at work after a meeting when someone says "any more questions"

Hahaha yeah i know exactly what you mean. I need my job though so am saving until the day i get another :D

bishop - with my behavioural inhibatur it is impossible for me to harm or alow to be harmed a human being. Are you sure you dont want some corn?

ripley - you just stay the hell away from me bishop you got that!!

frost - i guess she dont like the corn bread either!!




or....


hudson - whats the mission sarge?

apone - you'll love!! we have to recue some juicy colonist daughters from their virginity.

Frost - i sure wouldnt mind some more of that octarian puntang

spunkmere - yeah but yours was male frost!!

frost - it dont matter when its octarian

How many drops is this for you Gorman?... haha yup.. 32 simulated!!

I only need to know one thing....where they are

how many combat drops?

erm..2. including this one.

Drake- They ain't paying us enough for this, man.
Dietrich- Not enough to have to wake up to your face, Drake.
Drake- What? Is that a joke?
Dietrich- Oh, I wish it were.

For reasons unknown relations between Gaijin and 505 are not that great.

For the sake of their consumer base and proffesionalism they better get great or at a later date 505's poor reputation will catch up with them and cost them dearly.


Burke - this is a multi million dollar installation, he cant make that descision he's just a grunt. No offence

Hicks - non taken. Ferro prepare to dust off immediately. Were going to dust off and nuke the site from orbit. Only way to be sure ;)

To be honest I gave up on the patch LONG Ago
I mean come on The PS3 and Xbox 360 patch got sent out near enough the same time SO WHY IS THERE STILL NO NEWS OR UPDATE?

And I believe What Anton is saying is complete BS the only reason I think he is not allowed communication to us is that they don't want nothing to do with us
"Ok Patch is out all whiners have what they want..."
"ummm I believe the xbox patch has a few umm bugs...."
"Help them fix it then ,we care about our community"
"it would take weeks plus we started Wings of prey a PC sim that will earn more money than Birds of prey"
"Screw them then We must complete and sell more WOP"

This thread wins. lol :)

lol tell me about it, who'd have thought there would be so many Alien fans on this forum. Madness i tells ya

Anyone whos seen aliens is an aliens fan lol. I dont know if its just me but those are the BEST gun sounds ever.

Madness? This is SPARTAAAAAA!

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...for_sparta.gif

Lmao awesome!! Yeah most definately the best gun sounds In The World

they used a modified MG42... ^^

Really?? any idea where i can buy one :grin:

aliens/ alien 2.
they really used a mg42

You know what, thinking back now they do look a little similar.

Wow, this is a first. A thread that was about bad news, going offtopic and awesome. Usually its the other way around lol

I really need this game. And it needs to be huge. I have so high expectations from playing AvP2 on PC years ago. Damn was that a scary game when played alone in the dark. :o

The main M41 Pulse rifle is really a Thompson M1A1 and an M480 shotgun with SPAS grip.. trivia buffs.

If you've got £4,000 spare you could always buy yourself a nice set of USCM armour It's after the replica gun.. Ultimate fancy dress outfit?

Oh my, i wouldn't mind getting my hands on that bit of kit :grin:

I put $20 down for AvP3 a month ago at Game Stop, but this Hunter Edition is just sounds too awesome to pass up! I cant wait, did you guys see the alien reveal clip on Youtube? My favorite part is when the alien grabs one unlucky guy in a dark corridor and pulls him closer then plunging its tail shank up through the poor marines ribcage lifting him off the ground! Yes! Cant wait til February!

As winny said the pulse rifle is a Thompson. The smart gun vasquez and drake use is an mg42. They picked the mg42 for due to the huge muzzle flash. I believe they increased the flash further by using wooden blanks which basically explode out of the muzzle.
Also the APC was built from an aircraft hauler. Basically one of those tugs that drag 747s

Yeah i saw that, ive been following the game pretty closely, the animated deaths sure do look awesome :grin:

And that dropship must surely have a Harrier in it somewhere, no?

You would think wouldn't you, the design of the dropship was inspired by an AH-1 Cobra and an F-4 Phantom.

Looks more harrier-like though

http://realestate.halogenguides.com/...ship-photo.jpg


http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/..._Flares_lg.jpg

apart from them both hovering and going very thin before the tail.....i dont see it.

The drop ship is part Apache (cockpit mainly) and then engine cowlings off early British jets along with other oddments..

Saying that though, the intakes at the front look like F4 intakes with the wedges..?

I've been periodically lurking recently looking for patch news and just found this thread, man that really really sucks Foz.

Also my vote goes to Aliens for best in series, has anyone heard anything about that Gearbox titel: "Aliens: Colonial Marines" game? Is that dead?

@ Stealth finger: Its not as if it is a spitting image its just when you look at it you can see bits off harrier, The nose looks similar and you have arched wings with armaments underneath. i suppose its like a blot image "What do you see"

Like i said its mainly inspired by the Cobra and Phantom, im not saying it looks like them but they are what the filmakers were inspired by.

Yea that game is still going to be made but i think they have put it on hold. Not sure though, will go do some digging and let you know

Edit: Ok the game is in development but is still TBA, on the official site the Most up to date news was in 08

its sad to hear that the devs have been silenced by the publishers, if thats the truth. i was looking forward to all things promised (fixed planes, fixed online, cockpits etc) but we can only hope now i guess.

and regarding the gearbox title aliens: colonial marines, it is very much alive as far as i know. ive been lurking the gearboxity.com forums for years and it seems that a:cm will pick speed as soon as the new AvP game is released. the reason is that sega is publishing both. personally i have great expectations on a:cm (mostly because its gearbox) and think it will be better than AvP.

Ahhhh i see thanks ;) Makes sense now that i know sega are publishing both.

I do believe A:CM could be better as it has just the two species to focus on from which you control just one, enableling a more in-depth experience,
unlike AVP where each species has its own characteristics therefore limiting what you can do with the game and where you can take it.

Either way both will kick ass :grin:

Theyre waiting to see how AvP does before starting back up. The more AvP sells the more likely colonial marines is to come out. And by the looks of things AvP is going to sell very well. The old games where fantastic!

You know what i am very ashamed to say i never played many of the old games,
I cant remember what most were called but i do remember one or two DooM style alien game which i absolutely loved! i played the hell out Concrete jungle on the Ps2. Never got around to playing the PC AvP (Forgot the name) As afew of my friends said it was pretty fun

Hang your head in shame lol. Get a hold of a copy asap. You'll be able to pick it up for a few quid at the shops or free from certain sites. Its definetly worth a play. 2 is probably the better one. The marine campaign is fantastic in many ways and for the Alien campaign you start as a facehugger looking for some poor guy to do the whole facehugging thing, then your a chest burster avoiding all the guys with guns (who found teh other guy and know your somewhere) only then do you grow up and start running up walls etc. You know what is possibly the coolest thing, to get more health as an alien you have to eat scientists heads! Find them cowering in toilets etc and chow down lol

Haha, that sounds excellent! im downloading the avp2 demo now, i wonder if the new AvP game will use the whole facehugger idea because that brilliant!

besides, its no brand new game so i should be able to run it on this rediculously s*** computer

I really hope they do :D

... That doesnt sounds too Good...
 

I can't beleive it actually that 505 decided to tighten' the loose even more?
if they actually cared about their products and games, then they woúl've supported them?

1 thing bothers me; as a Retired Moderater for Ubisoft we were Told that Conversation between designer, manufacture, and other Groups were allowed.

People who had serious questions could ask them every Monday night at the designers them self in order to get more information that the required? that is pretty Normal for Ubisoft,... Atleast For Brothers In Arms.

Fact that 505 doesnt shows it face is a sign that they could abbondend the game complety or that they are working on something else?

i really wanted to have the german Cockpits. would've been awesome to see the World from that perspective,. ... a Burning Spitfire that is ....:grin::grin::-P;)

so.... only thing we can do so far, and God i Hope im wrong with this, is to wait any longer... We Could E-Mail Bomb them? so that they wont forget us, lot.

We have to go now because they mostly come out at night. Mostly.


So who are we all playing as? Im a colonial marine with a pulse rifle all day long. I know its a good forum and we all get on (the majority) but if i see any of you in a game and your not a marine.... i will show no mercy!

If your a marine on the other hand, try to stay in a group and watch each others backs. I'll happily come help you then :D

I will be the guy who secretly comes over from the Ps3 world, up behind you and Spears you from behind

Edit: God that sounds so wrong (No Gay pun intended)

Yup that sound soooooo wrong haha.

Though gayness aside..... i'll be waiting for you :D me and my squad of ultimate bad asses

If they weren't before, they'll be bad asses when Spitfire's done with you :eek::-P

hahaha very quick!

Lmao awww leave me alone lol i didn't mean it to sound that way, lets just say i will kill the marines and leave it at that ;)

the Russian title for both BOP and wings of prey is Крылатые Хищники, literally "winged predators."

It seems like it's a pc-style project where they released the engine and basic content first, then add pc-style updates. Since they can't be bothered to make the updates work on consoles, consoles are stuck with the basic stuff.

If 505 has put a gag order on the devs, somebody needs to find the people at 505 and let em hear it.

I think a large-scale "sequel boycott" might wake them up. They said they're already working on a sequel, probably counting on the money from it.

Even more effective would be to find 505's investors and shareholders, if any, and tell them you won't buy the sequel without better support for the original.

yeah, look how it worked for left4dead...
________
Easy vape review

I'm pretty sure, during his posting days, Anton stated that 505 would not be involved in any sequel to BoP so a boycott would be unneseary. I'll see if I can find the post. By all means though boycott any future 505 published games if you want.

Guys the AvP hunter edition is limited to HMV only. Its on their site now and retails at £59.00 :D

thats bloody good in comparison to america i think?

I've pre ordered.

Its game time.

Cheers for the heads up, full size facehugger prob cost about more by itself bought it from memorabilia shop. I am getting a pre order in for it
edit: just spotted the pc version of hunter edition only £39.99 at HMV. Amazing bargain

Cool, I might have to do the same.

Lets go Marines!

Nice one Foz, will cancel my pre-order and put it on hmv instead. Great price too

Order Placed :D

Cheers FOZ

Yeah, I also saw this post recently (although it's quite old):
This means they are working on the sequel with their own money, and gambling on the fact that a publisher will pick it up in the future. That publisher is highly unlikely to be 505, and if no-one does pick it up, it will more than likely be curtains for Gaijin.

So don't boycott the sequel, openly support it. Whether you think it or not, Gaijin have been really good to the community, and the sequel will be awesome because they will just be adding all the features we wanted in BoP and learning from their mistakes.

Anton, if you happen to read this, and if you haven't already, I recommend approaching Atlus...they're renowned for bringing harder than average, non-mainstream foreign games to the American market. And they must have a bit of cash and confidence after Demon's Souls.

Watched a couple of vids and this looks pretty grisly. The trophy kill the predator does looks mad.
There's a multiplayer mode for 18 people where everyone is a marine except for one player who's an alien. The players the alien kills become aliens. That sounds top. Must be harrowing being last man standing as sole marine with 17 aliens after you!

Haha oh yeah, i forgot about that game mode, it sure would be a very unervy experience being the only one left not knowing which way theyre coming from

I dont think it (hunter edition) is going to be available here TBH. I tried emailing game after looking on their website for it, a few days ago they replied with "there are currently no plans to stock this edition of the game, though this may change so keep checking the website."

They have since then updated the website and added the "survivor edition" which is the typical metal case job with a few bonus MP skins or something, very little info about it on their website. but at £54.99 three weeks after my mass effect 2 CE will arrive, i think i will be going standard edition only. If the hunter edition does get realised, i might have my hand forced, depends on the quality of the game & facehugger though.

hunter edition is available at hmv.com for £59.99 while the survivor edition is £54.99....i know which im gettin now

survivor edition is £54.99? wow its as if were getting this facehugger for free

dont forget about the weyland yutani patch you get with it

Whats the survivor edition. I've only seen Hunter and regular

oh i've not forgotten about that, there's also a collectors edition graphic novel :grin:

the survivor edition contains the limited edition steelbook, and the 4 bonus multiplayer maps

for the ultimate fan chek this out
