Latest Aliens vs. Predator trailer shows strengths of the former

Thought I was the only one. Cheers.

I'll probably hold off some more until they can actually make a game that looks like the movies. Compared to the original Alien, this still looks like a bunch of cartoony polygons, no matter how many normal maps or specular maps or other bullshit they add.

Practicality has no use in a science fiction setting.

Because a second mouth is creepier.

but it's supposed to be the perfect organism!!

You have H.R. Geiger to thank for that.

crazy penis loving swede

And it was hella cool in the 80's.

It's 'Giger', and he's Swiss, not Swedish. Just FYI.

well it's got the Sw part

Alien Queen: "Stop ya'll. Where y'all think ya'll going? You think you can just up and run away, you crazy. I like to eat people from other planets, specially y'all.

(little mouth pops out)"I like to eat you with my little mouth too!"

Alien Queen: Oh no y'all get back inside me little mouth

Little Mouth: "I wants to play too!"

Alien Queen: Get inside, I'll get you when we's eatin em"

Little Mouth pops back inside: "ZOOP!"

^lolol


Remember though that the aliens aren't made just to kill humans, they may need their tongue mouth thingy to kill otherworldly creatures that would be difficult to damage otherwise.

That's the whole debate. Predators (TM), or the perfectly engineered predator?

Yeah. That predator at the end was such a noob, decloaking in a dark corridor and standing there like there was a picture of mum on the wall. He was a disgrace

No way. Predators are just glorified humans.
They're built exactly like a human, they move like a human, the use weapons just like a human (projectiles and explosives), and they're as lazy as humans. Lazy, in that humans create devices and contraptions to perform tasks that would otherwise be much more difficult, and Predators have even more gadgets and gizmos than humans do (which also makes them nerdy, like some humans).
There's nothing scary, probable, or interesting about them to me. If anything, they merely resemble where mankind is headed in a few million years if the entire species is ever re-populated by a Jamaican and an iguana.

Now Aliens... that's where it gets intriguing. They resemble something more animal-like. Specifically, they resemble an insect.
They move on all fours, they multiply through parasitic infection, they have no language, they travel in groups, they share a hive mentality, and they resemble humans far less than predators. They don't use any tools or weaponry, and are physically much more able than humans or predators (walk upside down, run/swim really fast, leap long distances). There are even different species of Aliens within their own genus for Floyd's sake!

Oh yes, I'll take Aliens over Predators any day.

I think a better name for the sequel would be, "To Catch A Predator".

Also it would be great if there was a tea bagging achievement called, "Sexual Predator".

When you see Chris Hansen, you know it's game over, man. GAME OVER!
