jefequeso: As a HUGE fan of AvP1 and to a lesser degree AvP2, I approve of this.

Fenixp: Well I can see where your inspirations come from...

jefequeso: how so?

Fenixp: Well it's hardcore, with enemies you can't easily escape from, keeps you constantly on the edge... AvP is probably the only game ever where I liked respawning enemies.

jefequeso: Hmm... that's interesting, because the design for Swamplands actually came about several years ago, before I had played AvP. The primary inspiration was actually System Shock 2 (and later STALKER).

FraterPerdurabo: So there's an extremely interesting Let's Play thread on SA:

I quote the OP:
"Who am I?

I'm Xenomrph, and I'm a recovering AvP fan. I've been an Alien fan for 15 years, and a Predator fan for a bit less. I have a ridiculous collection of Alien, Predator, and AvP merchandise and the like, including every movie on DVD, all the novels, all the comics but 1, and almost all of the games. I've got other random stuff like art books, scripts, making-of materials, etc. And most importantly, I know a crazy amount of useless AvP trivia, a good amount of which will get rattled off in my LP voice-overs. Some bits of trivia might get repeated between games, but that's only because I don't expect everyone to watch every video I do - if there's relevant trivia for 'AvP2' that I previously mentioned in a video for 'AvP1', it's only because I want the commentaries to be somewhat self-contained for each game; viewing the LP for 'AvP1' isn't a requirement to enjoy the 'AvP2' LP, especially since the games are almost totally unrelated anyway."


It's really a very enjoyable watch if you're even remotely a fan of the series. Highly recommended++
