Sega and Rebellion won’t release a “sanitized” Aliens vs. Predator for the Australian market, but it appears the companies are at least going to try and appeal the government’s decision to “ban” the game. Refused Classification noted over the weekend that the classification board will hold a review of AvP’s status this Friday, December 18.
The most recent high-profile game to attempt an appeal with the Aussie ratings board was Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 — it failed. However, an edited version of the zombie apocalypse survival trainer was released in the region. We’ve contacted Sega for comment on the matter.

Lance Henriksen, who was most memorably cleaved asunder as android (ahem, “artificial lifeform”) Bishop, will see another continuation of his Aliens film role in Rebellion’s Alien vs. Predator game. Henriksen plays Karl Bishop Weyland, the descendant of Weyland-Yutani corporation founder Charles Bishop Weyland. The 69-year-old actor is happy with his virtual likeness (seen above) and is quoted as saying, “I might score from this game!” Joystiq is quoted as saying, “Maybe if it’s from a facehugger, Lance.”
Considering Henriksen’s appearance in one of the most gore-riffic scenes in film (at the time), we should reiterate that Aliens vs. Predator will release in February 2010 on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC — in countries that don’t require toned-down violence. Rebellion has stated that it will not be “releasing a sanitized or cut down version for territories where adults are not considered by their governments to be able to make their own entertainment choices.” Sorry, Australia and Germany.

Something’s always struck us as kind of … off about the title Aliens vs. Predator. For one, there are “colonial marines” up in there, mixing it up. More confusing, though, is the fact that both “Aliens” and “Predators” are, in fact, aliens. [And aren't all of them predators? - Ed.] At least Sega is keeping our minds diverted from these recondite questions with the latest multiplayer footage (found after the break).
Aside from trotting out a handful of European game writers who all tell the same “This game is SO awesome” story, we’re treated to a smattering of gameplay snippets from all three sides of the equation. We’re only left wondering one thing after watching them – if you can play as a predator against eight colonial marines, who would ever choose the marines side?

Alright, look. We’ve tried to remain as impartial as possible in the undying debate of Aliens vs. Predator, but we think the winner of this struggle is clear. Sure, Predators have cloaking devices and wrist-mounted swords, and humans have … well, inimitable pluck, we guess. However, Aliens possess fanged proboscises. Sorry, other guys, but acid-coated tongue-jaws are an impossible act to follow.
You can see the Aliens’ strengths in action in the latest trailer for the Sega’s AvP, posted above. For reasons which will become clear to you upon viewing, we’ve affectionately titled the video “Aliens vs. Predator: Sorry About Your Face.”
[Thanks, Ikarop.]

Like a magnifying glass over a Xenomorphic ant (scariest image today!), Sega has quietly focused its release ray on February for Aliens vs. Predator’s spawning at retailer. As noticed by Destructoid, the company’s game page now gives the title a sub-orbital drop window of February, where the game previously had a vague early 2010 release.
We followed up with Sega and a company spokesperson stated, “Early 2010 is all we can confirm at the moment.” Better talk to the website guys, huh?

The big, green gooey eggs containing Sega’s long in development Aliens: Colonial Marines and Aliens RPG are going to hatch — just not soon. When we asked why the games were absent from this year’s E3, Sega replied, “Aliens vs. Predator will be the first to ship out of our triplet of Aliens titles; hence it was shown at this year’s E3. We’ll have more news to share about the other two games in the near future so stay tuned.” Rumors of both titles being jettisoned out an airlock have been swirling since earlier this year.
In addition, Gearbox Software prez Randy Pitchford has confirmed to Kotaku that Colonial Marines lives on in now-gen console and handheld form on DS. Pitchford told the site that Gearbox is not developing the portable title, lending more credence to purported footage of a WayForward-developed Colonial Marines that leapt out of the darkness last month. We’ve put word into Obsidian, developers of Aliens RPG, for confirmation of that title’s status.
