While we are still waiting on the promised multiplayer update, developer Rebellion has now issued a new update for their re-release of their first Aliens Vs Predator game, now known as Aliens Vs Predator Classic 2000. The update, issued automatically via Steam, has added a true widescreen resolution mode to the game for the first time.

The update also adds a way to let players have unlimited saves to the game instead of just using the title's fixed number of save points. You will have to go into the command line and put in the -unlimitedsaves option to activate the save features but it's better than the current set up. There are also some more bug fixes in this latest update.

It looks like things have moved faster than first thought for the release of the original PC Aliens Vs Predator. The game from developer Rebellion, now known as Aliens Vs Predator Classic 2000, is now available via Steam for a mere $4.99. This port contains both the original version of the game (released in 1999) plus content from the Gold version that was released in 2000.

This version also includes music from the game's official soundtrack and has been ported to use the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows. Multiplayer support is not yet available but as we reported earlier Rebellion plans to add multiplayer support via a free patch later.

Original Aliens Vs Predator PC game to be re-released on Steam

by John Callaham Jan 15th 2010 @ 12:00PM

While developer Rebellion is getting close to completing their reimagined version of Aliens Vs Predator, the UK developers are also planning to re-release their original 1999 PC AVP game as Aliens Vs Predator Classic.

The re-release will be made available via Steam at a budget price but will only contain the single player campaigns from the first person shooter at first. However Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has told IGN they plan to add the game's multiplayer support later as a free download. There's no word on when AVP Classic will be released but it sounds like Rebellion plans to make it available before their new AVP game is released by Sega in mid-February.
