These days the devs simply do not make big-budget games anywhere near as hardcore as the original AvP (PC) was. Even before a single word of information came out about the new game, it was clear that some of the best bits of the original design could not be included.
What conserves a little bit of hope is that it's the same studio and some of the same people are still on board. But in the interviews, all they seem to talk about is animation, graphics, voice acting, LOL FATALITIES. Meh.
I also note there will be no level crafting and no modding. These aren't things I really care about in an AvP game, but they are something that ought to come standard on a multiplayer-equipped PC FPS, and not having them at least quadruples the probability of the game being consolized to shit.
