Ecco cosa ho trovato sulla rete e mi pare interessante farvi
sapere:
Does Aliens Vs Predator have a savegame feature?
Yes - the game autosaves at the end of every level
completed. Then, like Rebel Assault 2, Dark Forces, and
Shadows Of The Empire, the player can access any completed
level at any time. No saves can be made during the game
itself, however - so when a player dies, he starts at the
beginning of the level again.
Savegames are maintained in the form of Player Profiles,
which record all data pertaining to which levels have been
completed and made permanently available.
(Ne abbiamo gia' parlato di questo...)
Does the game have different levels of difficulty?
Yes, the game comes in Trainer (Easy), Realistic (Medium),
and Director's Cut (Hard) difficulty flavours. (ma siamo
sicuri?)
Is the game as terrifying as reported?
Obviously, the degree of terror felt is relative to the
individual playing the game, but Rebellion have done a fine
job of creating a dark and tense environment in which lights
flicker eerily and Aliens scuttle in the gloom, ready to
suddenly pounce on unaware victims. Needlessly to say, I
have literally jumped in my chair several times when
rounding a corner or opening a door to come face-to-face
with a lurking xenomorph. (confermo)
Are missions played against a time limit?
Generally, no - although certain missions may require a race
against time (for example, shutting of a self-destruct
sequence which could take out the entire level - player
included). (io l'ho gia' incontrato 'sto livello ed e'
davvero favoloso...)
Is there in-game music at all?
Yes, the music during the game will be a mix of tracks from
the movie Aliens as well as new, suitably-eerie compositions
added by Rebellion (an example of which can be heard in the
Alien demo). Naturally, each of the species will have their
own appropriate soundtrack score.
It has been recently confirmed that the entire second CD-ROM
of the game contains music only.
Are all enemy locations randomly determined?
No, not all of them. Some enemies do appear at moreorless
the same location in every game (esp. Facehuggers,
Praetorians, Xenoborgs, and Predator Hybrids). However, the
majority of enemies are randomly located throughout each
level. (e' vero...e si nota).
Do AI species attack each other (unlike in the Atari Jaguar
version)?
Yes - all opposing species will attack each other on sight,
assuming they are not attacking you first.
Does the game have intro and outro movie sequences?
The intro and outro sequences are software-rendered and
reportedly of high quality - far surpassing those seen the
game's predecessor Alien Trilogy. Apparently, there are also
plenty of in-game cutscenes too.
What is the highest screen resolution that Aliens Versus
Predator can be played in?
The highest resolution confirmed to date is 1078 x 768.
What other abilities and equipment does the Predator have?
Obviously, the cloaking ability is one of the Predator's
chief assets, although it still has it's flaws. Motionless,
the Predator can remain wholly invisible - but should he
move or be hit by water, the effectiveness of the cloak is
compromised. 
The Predator is also equipped with a Medicomp - the use of
which restores health but also penalises the hunter's energy
supply. In some of the bonus levels, a Grappling Hook is
also available so that the Predator may access high-up
places which he might not otherwise reach. The Predator can
also fall long distances without suffering damage.
( e per questo e' il mio personaggio preferito.)
Can the Predator collect skulls as trophies?
Yes - by crouching over the body of a fallen victim and
lining the Predator's target sights with the corpse's head,
the hunter can claim the skull as his prize by using a
wristblade 'hard' strike. If this is successful, the
Predator will let out a bellowing roar of triumph. (ci devo
provare)
What multiplayer modes are there in the game?
Deathmatch, Species War (aka Deathmatch Team), Last Man
Standing, Predator Tag, Alien Tag, and Co-Operative. (non
aspetto altro).
