Holy shit. Greatest trailer, ever. Looks like Predator is taking his previous brethren's shitty performance, seriously. They wreck shit up here. Hi-Def version at IGN.
Also, it's rated fucking R. Fuck all that PG-13 shit.

AVP's story was just fine. It was the directing, and Film Rating that shitted it up.

I know of it, hell I still have the trade paperback. But I wanted to know which one he was specifically speaking of.
And I actually wouldnt want that particular story followed, since alot of things would have to be explained, or implied before even getting to the fighting between Alien and Pred. I mean, they werent on Earth in that.
It could be done, but it seems directors have a hard enough time working with already known factors (Earth, humans, Aliens and Predators) to make a good flick.

I'm on the fence with this movie. All the humans look as helpless as teens in a Jason movie. Since it's an action movie, I'd want to see to follow the Aliens and Predator 1 model, and include special forces types that can (briefly) hold their own against the As and Ps. Maybe the Army grunts shown in the trailer will fill that role, maybe not.
At least it's seriously R-rated material, no 80s action movie franchise deserves anything less than an R rating.

yeah it does suck that the humans are basically FUCKED in this movie. On the plus side it looks as though there will be only one Predator which should be badass just seeing him take on all the Aliens.
Would be nice to see the black chick from the previous movie just show up out of the blue and help out.

Now this is the movie I've been waiting for. Kudos to the posters who mentioned the director change. Seriously, Paul Anderson(director for the first AvP movie) ADMITTED to having an Alien basis before the movie came to theaters. The first movie was moreso another Alien movie with Predator guest stars than a true AvP movie. I seriously hope this doesn't disappoint me like the first one, but the trailer's on the right track so far.
Dang, chick getting a pred shuriken to the stomach is almost as good a method as the stairs.

Since when did Predators slaughter unarmed people? And I forgot the female Predators are a lot bigger than the males.
Who cares about unarmed Humans being shreded? I think it's good to have 2 alien races both with zero discretion for the cattle inbetween. To be honest, the Preds allying themselves with the Humans in both the comic and the AVP movie really sucked imo. Simple dialogue, simple plot, 90% action is what and all I really expect out of an AVP movie.

He/She isn't a hunter that's why he/she is killing everything on sight.

It's all through the trailer. Quick shots, but it's in there. It's the fully adult one from the first films ending.
Since when did Predators slaughter unarmed people? And I forgot the female Predators are a lot bigger than the males.
It depends on the writer/story. If humans aren't the main hunt, then they are literally just in the way. Same as the original AVP comic. Didnt matter who you were, if you ran into them, they killed you. They didnt have any problem going to some random planets, and impregnating their inhabitants with Alien host.
female Predators dont have breasts?
Yea, they do. I haven't seen a depiction of them without them yet. They rarely hunt too, regardless of the story. It's always been the males.
This Pred seems to be a mixed of the Predator 2 Pred (whom was slenderer than the Pred from Predator 1), and the AVP Preds. Ironically, both are played by Ian White, and both original Pred's were portrayed by the same man aswell. Kevin Peter Hall. Same actor whom played Harry from "Harry And the Hendersons". Dude died from Aids or something. =(
Well the first movie failed on a lot of fronts, but I believe it was mainly due to the fact that the director was attempting on reproducing the entire"riply"situation with that black girl whom i felt ruined the movie. It was to convenient to have her survive untill the end and teaming up with the pred to basicially change the movie into"humans and preds vs aliens"instead of what it was intending to be. Aside from the momment of finally having these two monsters on film at the same time...the first movie was just an okay film. Certainly not worthy of the AVP franchise though...oh and i think the whole thing about female preds isnt canon so i doubt we'll be seeing any soon.

I'm tired of humans in my fucking ALIEN VS PREDATOR MOVIES.
It's not Alien vs Human vs Predator, get that shit outta here. Seriously, how hard is that to understand?? Must be the most hard thing in the entire movie industry.
It's so played. You know that that women is going to end up killing everyone or saving the world or something.
It's great to see all the violence though. Double Headshot running riot is where it's at.
I guarentee the director goes the faggot "feel bad for the humans" route storyline instead of focusing on the Pred/Alien conflict.
The Humans should be there to explain why a crazy fish looking alien thing is killing cheesecurl headed ants. AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON.
If you are going to have humans, I want Danny Glover and Arnold sons. Not the whole "look women can be strong too" overplayed bullshit.
To sum everything up, I Know the movie is going to have some dumbass storyline, so I will go to see more headshots and wolverine uppercuts. Then I will be sad when the predator dies in some gay ass way.

Think this movie needs a hero along the lines of Dutch or Danny Glover's character but it looks like we're getting a fake Ripley. I wonder if the predator that killed that chick was a renegade because they're supposed to go by a code, if their prey isn't armed don't kill it.

The truest post in the thread
What is wrong with you guys? If you are dissapointed with humans getting slaughtered, you are missing the point. What made the first one bad was not some stupid Alien bias, it was the fucking black chick teaming up with the Preds killing Aliens, and I have no doubt we'll see a similar storyline in this one. A sexy female hero is the wrong route in any action/horror movie. It makes the Predators and Aliens look weak in comparison by implying she can hang with them. Some of you need to go back and watch all the true Alien and Predator movies.

This is the only acceptable situation where humans are important:
The Preds and Aliens fuck everything up, and then the last Aliens and the Last Preds faceoff to control some kind of device that will fuck up humanity. After 20 minutes of epic fighting, they're all dead except two predators. As they're about to press the button, Dutch jumps in through a skylight armed with nothing but a knife. He fucks up one of them, while yelling FOR BEELEEEEE!!!!! and other epic one liners. He kills one, and just as the other one is about to kill him, Glover comes in and puts a bullet through its head using that old ass pistol they left him at the end of Pred 2. Then Dutch and Glover pronounce themselves the manliest men alive and destroy humanity for being such big pussies in the first place.
Fuck, I should write this shit.

Actually, it's not overplayed (kinda)
The original AVP storyline was developed in 1991-1992, and back then when AVP was in "movie development limbo" there were not as many female lead action heroes. Unfortunately, the first TERRIBLE AVP movie didn't come out then many many many years later, and we've seen many lead female characters since then, which is why it's considered overplayed now.
Back in the day, the first AVP comic series was pretty unique in having an asian female lead character.
Now it's not so unique.
On the trailer, I was suprised and shocked that they facehugged a KID (!!)

In BOTH of those movies, they were huntung HUMANS. In anything, and everything AVP, they were hunting ALIENS. Go download any AVP comic. They dont give two fucks about humans in them. They go planet hopping, tossing alien eggs around, impregnating humans and animals alike with eggs, then go and get their hunt on. If a human gets in the way, they slice, cut, blow up whatever. Then go about their alien hunting business.
Whats so hard to grasp about that? it's Fact, not assumption.

Yeah that's the impression I got. When they're hunting something, they don't apply their 'honor' thing to random creatures that get in there way, so killing human civilians when they're hunting aliens isn't a problem. The only time they would spare someone is if they were hunting that particular species, and so they'd leave the weak/unarmed alone, since in their eyes it's not a kill they would like to make [because it'd be worthless/'dishonorable'/etc].
Then again, the AvP movie sort of puts this into a weird situation, because though the predators were specifically hunting the aliens, the surviving predator spares the life of Wayland [or whatever] when he scans his organs and sees that he's dying. The only reason he actually killed him is because said human attempted to bbq the predator when he was walking away, making him a hostile.

I guess James Cameron was right when he said the franchise was dead, they should have just let him make Alien5 when he was interested, dont see that happening now.
Hopefully in this movie Rambo will make an appearance......ok maybe not but the films location sure looks like first bloods.

Well some folks in here are applying the logic from the comics into the films which they shouldnt be doing since the comics are a part of the extended universe and not cannon with the movies. It was established in the first 2 films that the preds dont kill what they consider weak(women, kids, helpess humans)and this was confirmed in the AVP film when the pred didnt kill Wayland cause of his illness. Even that one pred showed mecy on that black chick, he only ever went after the humans to retrieve his weapons. I just kinda feel though that overtime they sort of just threw the whole"code of ethics" thing just so we could enjoy gory deaths and what not. Im guessing the writers had a hard time going around it so they just decided"why the hell not"and ignored the whole concept altogether.
Im also sick of the"strong women" thing, it was good the first time but it just seems like a real lazy way to appear"different and inventive". Besides the whole situation in Aliens 2 is usually not put into proper context. People seem to think ripley is like this badass with years worth of combat experience who went into that planet and killed all the aliens with a single round of ammunition(sp). If it wasnt for the grunts...and expecially hicks i doubt she would have made it as far as she did.

I agree. My girlfriend insists she has aged poorly, but I thought just the opposite.
With regards to a female lead, they have to do it right, and in AVP they did it wrong. I don't think it has to do with it being played out. A lot of the time, the badass female character amounts to nothing more than a male action character in a female body. There is a natural rejection of a character like this because its not realistic, and tries to force the image down your throat. Ripley was badass because there is a degree of femininity to her, and it makes her more amiable on screen. She was tough as nails if the situation called for it, but at the same time was motherly and warm (Newt). I think even Vasquez had a sympathetic side as opposed to the stupid bitch in AVP that just assumed a role of badass without trying to convince you of it.

Alien3 - Dillon The black preacher who came up with all the ideas to kill the queen.
Without these guys she wouldnt have gotten anywhere.

The movies arent even "canon", not AVP at least. Sure, you can lump them up together, but then you have fanboys from all different angles who will pick it apart. In any case, these are in fact based on the COMICS/GAMES. So have at cha. :rofl:

Who cares about unarmed Humans being shreded? I think it's good to have 2 alien races both with zero discretion for the cattle inbetween. To be honest, the Preds allying themselves with the Humans in both the comic and the AVP movie really sucked imo. Simple dialogue, simple plot, 90% action is what and all I really expect out of an AVP movie.
Well I definitely don't want to see helpless idiots screaming their heads off every 5 minutes, which is what the trailer is full of. A military squad, that won't automatically shit their pants at the sight of an alien killing machine, just works better in A and P movies if you have to have humans at all (and of course you have to have them, that's how Xenomorph aliens usually operate).
This is kinda reminding me of Transformers.. lots of human extras stealing screen time from what everyone paid a ticket for. Hopefully the humans get wiped out quick.
Well chances of Hollywood ever allowing the viewer to only follow from an Alien perspective is probably 0%. Sure it would be cool to watch Preds sitting around a table playing Texas Hold Em' for some skulls, but the excuse will always be "The audience doesn't have anything to relate to". As with any other movie, we'll have Human main characters and there's a 90% chance that at least one of them will survive and a 99% chance that Aliens will lose again and Preds will fly off into the sunset while the surviving Human(s) look on. Clichéd, but hell, Hollywood = Formula.
When I buy my ticket for this movie, I only care about 1 thing. Blood.

Xiii: I agree with you Hollywood wouldn't let a Alien vs. Predator movie be made if there wasn't any humans in there. But you probably could do an entire Predator from the Predator's point of view. Heck a quarter of the first Predator was like that.
You can't have them shooting th shit in their spaceship but eh...

Depending on how strong the prey is can the Predator just consider that person a threat to kill.Such as for example,if the person has alot of physical strength?
Another question pertaining to Predators.In the AvP series,are the Predators more portrayed as the side that the Humans want to win if anybody?Or is there an equal hate with Predators and Aliens?

Predators all differ, but like Shade said, if you aren't the big game, you're just in the way. Anyways, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think even the weakest Pred tend to much more physically powerful than a human.
As for which side, really depends on what material you're reading/viewing, but usually both sides are treated with revulsion at first.

Everytime this has been explained, theres always people who dont grasp what I'm saying.
In BOTH of those movies, they were huntung HUMANS. In anything, and everything AVP, they were hunting ALIENS. Go download any AVP comic. They dont give two fucks about humans in them. They go planet hopping, tossing alien eggs around, impregnating humans and animals alike with eggs, then go and get their hunt on. If a human gets in the way, they slice, cut, blow up whatever. Then go about their alien hunting business.
Whats so hard to grasp about that? it's Fact, not assumption.
They arent "pro-life", they are "if you kill this unarmed, impregnated human, you're a bitch, and when we get back home, I'ma call you a *** in front of our friends!".
Calm down, son I was just kidding, although I did see a pred with a "W" sticker on his spaceship the other day. :wgrin:
I'm well aware of the pred's code of ethics when it comes to the hunt, particularly when the aliens are the prey. Personally I'm in the camp of wanting an all out
genocide of the humans, but that's never going to happen. Hell a lot of the AVP comics have one or more pesky human antagonists mucking things up for the preds and aliens, but I guess they wouldn't be put on the top tier prey list by the preds if they didn't.

AvP: War is one of the books about the chick that goes off and starts hunting with the Preds. Not 100% sure which book she initially joins them in, but I think it was Hunter's Planet. IIRC the Preds end up bagging a fucking T-rex in that shit :confused:
As for the whole killing "code" thing, I think it just depends on the hunter. Shit seems to go out the window when they get pissed, though. Call me crazy, but that bitch getting snatched up by the windmill shiruken like that didn't exactly look like it only happened because she was "in the way". Looked more like some "where the fuck do you think you're going?" type shit. But w/e, guess we'll find out more once the movie is out.

The celtic predator had a very intricate mask, and he relied the most on his physicality out of the group(he engaged grid alien in hand to tail combat for most of the battle, using his net to give grid his trademark scars). The Scar predator has an intentional scar marking on his helmet he made with a face hugger claw he snapped off. The third had a unique mask too I believe, Scar was the closest to the iconic pred of the 2 pred movies though(until he got his distinguishing mark)

My point was there's no way to avoid having humans in a movie like this. Hollywood, or facehuggers making Aliens out of humans (yes they don't have to use humans), whatever. Special military/commando-type humans are somewhat less stupid than regular civilians. The latter makes the movie more like a teen slasher flick. That's the vibe the trailer gave off, and that's not a good thing compared to the better movies in the franchises.
And don't think I'm targeting you or anything, I'm just explaining why I'm on the fence with this flick.

I think civilians aren't such a bad way to go, if they are there for a purpose. Like, if it's just some random gathering of people who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, then that's cheesy (like teen slashers). If it's done smartly, then it could go well.
Hell, the people in Alien were cargo shippers. But it was so smartly done, that it was okay that none of them could go commando-style...

I saw the trailer once, but the civis appear to be on a camping trip. That doesn't turn me off to it. The military storyline between both Alien and Predator franchises has been done more than once. It was either or. In this one, however, it looks like a blend of the two seeing as how the military gets involved later on.

So yea, get it. I actually bought a copy (which is rare for me nowadays). It's worth it.

From what I've gathered from the trailer it looks like a small town is overrun by the aliens. I didn't get the "Dumb teenagers on a camping trip and get fucked up" vibe. It looked more like they were trying to get the hell outta the town.
Anyone notice the scene of the evil old white men in the corporate office? Could this be "The Company" from the Alien movies?
Also, if it's only one predator then they spoiled the HELL out of this movie when it shows the Pred getting impaled by a Predalien, but not before jabbing his claws in its skull (gangsta).
Also, is that a freakin' nuke they're dropping on the town??
The ending of the first avp did indeed suck and I agree that a ship full of Preds should have noticed something like that, although the theory of them being distracted by the avp arcade game has merit. I remember spending a TON of time playing that game over and over and over... :wasted:

I dunno, but I immediately had this image of the chick having sex with the Pred.
Why does my mind torture me so?

From what I've gathered from the trailer it looks like a small town is overrun by the aliens. I didn't get the "Dumb teenagers on a camping trip and get fucked up" vibe. It looked more like they were trying to get the hell outta the town.
Anyone notice the scene of the evil old white men in the corporate office? Could this be "The Company" from the Alien movies?
Also, if it's only one predator then they spoiled the HELL out of this movie when it shows the Pred getting impaled by a Predalien, but not before jabbing his claws in its skull (gangsta).
Also, is that a freakin' nuke they're dropping on the town??
The ending of the first avp did indeed suck and I agree that a ship full of Preds should have noticed something like that, although the theory of them being distracted by the avp arcade game has merit. I remember spending a TON of time playing that game over and over and over... :wasted:
So I'm not crazy for feeling as though they just spoiled the whole thing...
-:bluu:
*Sigh* Not being able to find my avp2 pc game = teh suxxors
Playing AvP arcade? = Too Good! :tup:
Also found my xbox copy of the AVP:Extinction rts game, might try to actually beat it, haven't played it in about 2 years though <_<, game was hard on some later stages(especially Alien Rushdown = ouch)
Anyways, I seriously hope there's more than one predator in the film, as not only would it spoil the film, but having ONE pred fighting an entire horde of aliens only to get WTFpwned and then the humans take over would be fucking stupid.
EDIT: Press release the AVP:Requiem toyline, seems like they're going with a new company instead of Mcfarlane now(shame, as I feel their avp line had some of the best articulation out of recent mcfarlane products which seemed more like statues)

NECA is pretty good. They're making the new Castlevania action figure lineup, and their previous things look pretty good also.
However, I agree, the articulation of the McFarlane AvP figures were pretty good (However some of them physically fell apart due to shoddy craftsmanship)
I really wish Predator: Concrete Jungle was released for PC... I don't have a PS2 or Xbox :sad:
I've played almost all of the Predator games out there, and have read most of the Predator or AvP comics. I wish they made more GOOD AvP games though.

Oh trust me I know about the figs falling apart, one of the blades off my celtic pred fig came off by me brushing it, I took off the plasma rifle accessory and stored it so I didn't lose junk until I could put them up.
I still believe AvP 2 on the pc is possibly the best game based on the Alien, Predator, and AvP franchises combined really(arguably beaten out by the arcade game, which is addicting as hell) I just hope the psp game(by the same company that made the pc fps games) is good.
A good novel I suggest is Predator: Big Game, pretty good standalone novel, might reread it again later.

True, however those movies that play the fence willl often say "Film not yet rated" - this movie - based off the trailer seems to THRIVE off the "R-rated" potential - even so much as to have the guy yell out "Fuck you!" or whatever at the end.
How did people already get names and plot? How do we know its a female pred? Nothing seemed 'different than before' from what I saw.

Haha, but this situation is far from normal. Every Alien/Predator was 'R' prior to AVP. AVP was not the norm. It's already been set in stone, anyway. The director and studio wanted an 'R' AVP this time around. First one was shit, so it's not like the first was successful, and changing the rating would hurt it. Far opposite, here.

Where'd you get "Female" pred from? This one's male, and has been dubbed "Wolf" by the studio. Names and plot = leaked script months ago, and plenty of studio and cast interviews, + IMDB listings.
And whats not different from before? The mass violence, the location, the plot? All different.

Looks pretty good, but I'm really not feeling the double wrist blades.
I hope that's not in the movie.
Although the last movie was trash, I DO admit they captured the movement of the Aliens quite well. They were as quick as they should be. I hope that this movie correctly shows how fast they are.
My recommended Predator reads:
Batman vs Predator (the first one) - Great art, great story. Done by the Kubert brothers. If THIS was made into a movie, it would ROCK, because it captures the atmosphere of Batman and Predator very well. 9/10
Aliens vs Predator: War - Follows up the storyline after the original AVP comic series. Quite good. 7.5/10
Predator: Bad Blood - Really violent, even for a Predator comic. Art is unique, but quite good. Talks about a renegade serial killer Predator on the loose. 7/10
Predator: Captive - oneshot comic, nice art, talks about how a rich dude captures a Predator. 7/10
Aliens vs Predator: Eternal - much better than I expected, pretty good story. Good art and good pacing. 7.5/10
edit: Predator: Hunter's Planet is one of the comics I haven't read, but REALLY want to read.

Is the Psycho Predator the most dangerous one(Considering his name)?
Out of all the preds I've seen, I'd say yes, for a couple reason, he kills indiscriminate, tortures his victims, and the fact that he murders OTHER predators too with complete abandon(He is also the only predator in all three franchises to have had orders given specifically for his elimination to my knowledge). He's basically the pred version of Dahmer, and makes the one from the first movie look like a creme puff. Don't want to spoil the comic for you, but I'll send you a pm for where you can get it.

It looks like a pretty fun movie...mainly because of the "r" rating
I don't expect it to not have a retarded story...I just hope there's no bullshit ambiguous "tie" ending...but I doubt that they would let either side come out with a decisive victory...Maybe humans will just nuke em all and let whatever mechanical demon god is out there sort em out.
Well I honestly think the Aliens got the last laugh in the first "movie" -_-. By all means, I love the Xenos, but once again, that mothership scene was utter bullshit. How did I come to my conclusion?
Preds entire mission was a failure, as all three got finest koed, two by the same Xeno.
Humans lost as all of them got wtfpwned(that I don't mind), and Lex was left in the middle of a frozen wasteland, with no means of communication or travel, so her fate is basically in the air.
The Xenos may have been wiped out(for the most part), but the predalien busting out of the movie(and surviving if this is any form of sequel, but I honestly hope it is its own standalone film.) and making it past a ship of preds gets my vote for a victory. The xenos main goal in most any alien film is survival before anything else, and the predalien did just that.

Face huggers impregnating Predators. It is shown halfway through the first AvP, when the remaining Pred was ambushed by a face hugger (although the scene was cut when the face hugger appeared and was then shown lying dead on the ground), and then in the end, when the Pred was carried off in the Pred mothership, they show the "Predalien" bursting out of his chest.

But yea, as the others said, Scar got facehugged, but I definitely don't agree with him not knowing about it. Victims don't get amnesia from being facehugged, they still remember it, just most of the time they don't know what's coming AFTER it. Scar probably figured he'd live till the end(Doubt he expected the Queen to fly the coop) and get treated by the pred med team.(Several alien games have machines the players can pick up that'll actually kill the chestburster embryo before it can burst, though it hasn't appeared in any of the films to date, so whether it's canon or not can be disputed.)

Dude...I TOTALLY remember those figures !! :rofl::confused::sad::rofl:
It's funny and sad at the same time, cuz those figures SUCKED SO MUCH ASS!
But they were the only Alien and Predator figures available at the time.
I remember there was a Gorilla Alien, a Flying Queen Alien, a Bull Alien, that Alien King you're talking about, and there was this Alien Queen playset.
The Predator figures sucked even more :lol:
There was this Elder Predator with "whipping dreadlocks" (I'm not kidding) and there were all these other Preds with wierd facemasks that didn't look anything like the Preds.
I remember I mailed in for the "Clear Ambush Predator" but I never got it :sad:
yea, I was very very happy when McFarlane came out with his Predator 2 figures. Those were really really really good at the time, and weren't resin kits.
When the AvP movie came out, those figures were essentially modified Predator 2 figures, but they were still pretty nice.
As for Scar Predator knowing he was infected, maybe.
I'm not too sure, but all I remember he was all chill and relaxed and not worried at all about it.

Hahah, man, I was so gonna buy those figures en masse a year ago, hearing how much they sucked I'm so glad I didn't. Rofl, those pred figs were a riot too, basically whatever "___ Predator" They could think of they made a fig for. I definantely rejoiced with the mcfarlane line(but admittedly they pulled their crap too with their 2 packs of minis, were all I could find after I bought my initial figs)
Also, about the Scar Predator, well honestly, that fearless of death aspect goes for all preds. With their lifestyle, I imagine it's a gift to even make it to "seasoned", much less elder, and even less ancient.(Though it's strange the elder pred in the AvP movie had no battle scars whatsoever..). Psycho Predator didn't live by any code whatsoever, and he's about the most dare devilish of any predator I've seen.

No sir, you are completely off. Nothing about this says "teen slasher flick". You need to research what that is. And their was barely any CG in the damn trailer. Suits =/= CG. And the hive was in a hospital, idort.

Only interest I have is that if this movie ties in with Aliens 4 (Alien: Resurrection). But no Ripley, forget it.
GTFO of here with that shit.:rolleyes:

I'm still a bit disappointed the director didn't go for the futuristic alien type setting. I wanted space marines, aliens, and predators duking it out in a huge fuckin' ship. Still, making this movie rated R with all the violence and blood will undoubtly shit all over the first one. Pred-alien is gonna be boss. The only real concern at the moment is gayface teens running rampant.
Damn they need to make a new AvP fps game. I was a fiend with runner-alien.

AvP FPS PC games were INSANELY good. Tense too. I remember being a Marine, walking around this dark ass outdoor area, when Aliens start running toward me, screeching and shit. I was freaked out beyond belief. Very rarely does a video game put that much fear in me. I seriously thought I was going to die.

Using the Marine was one of the scariest video game experiences.
So many times I remember running scared (as a Marine) and falling down elevator shafts or stairs, breaking my legs :lol:
Even when I set the game speed to super duper slow motion, it was still freaky as heck.
Hahaha, under no circumstances could I play a marine, lol. Man, those facehugger buggers creep the shit out of me xD. Especially in games I played with the alien lifecycle on, those were fun as hell, until everyone switched to Aliens :annoy:

Sole reason why I can't play the AvP games. I have a serious fucking fear of Face Huggers. No joke. I wanted to check out the first AvP film since I hadn't seen it, and my brother had a DVD of it.. went to put the disc in the player and I opened the case and there's a face hugger for the disc cover. I couldn't touch it..
I'm such a fucking pussy. The fear of face huggers I think dated back to when I first played AVP on the Atari Jaguar. Sitting insanely close to TV + quite a decent size TV + FACE HUGGER SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR PICTURE = ME FREAKING THE FUCK OUT OF THERE.
Plus I don't like Spiders, and face huggers have an arachnid approach to them.

Oh man I hear you on that one, imagine one of those queen facehuggers on you(thing's big as a fucking wolf). I remember playing the alien trilogy games, first or second level I think, I cleared the room out of enemies(so I thought.) and all of a sudden I got facehugged, almost had a heart attack :wasted:. I used cheats to go to the last level and beat the game as I couldn't risk another one of those.

GAAAAAAAAWD. YUCK.
Thank god it wasn't wallpaper size.
"The super facehugger or the queen face hugger is different from the rest. It usually a little larger than the other facehuggers and has more of a metalic exoskeleton and it limbs are usually very sharp spears. It has spines going down the middle of it back, and can impregnate multiple times. This face hugger will make a queen, and then make her royal elite guards to keep her safe as she starts her journey. This super facehugger is not made by a queen, it is made by a drone/adult. This fact is later discovered in the comic book series and explains how the alien queen comes about in the second movie Aliens. They start to show how the adult reproduces the the super facehugger in the first movie in the cut secenes. When Ripley sees Bretts transformation and some of the other crew members down in the docking bay. The Aliens are able to introduce DNA into the human system that alters their body's chemistry so dramaticaly that it begins to morph into an alien egg. The DNA is passed into the host system from a stinger located at the tip of the alien tail. It takes ruffly 24 to 36 hours for complete transformation. It does not fully explain this in the comics or in the movies. It just introduces the idea and leaves the rest up to speculation."
good god X_X
EDIT: Back to the Requiem Movie, a group of people released a podcast discussing the movie, about an hour long.

I dunno about you guys, I'm pretty chill with facehuggers...
Chestbursters on the other hand........ :shake:
The whole chestbursting sequence scares the crap outta me..
I can't imagine how the audience was like in 1978 when the first Alien movie came out. UGHHHH
Jeez, finding Concrete Jungle was a hunt in itself. Called three stores and they don't even have it in the computer(Ebgames/Gamestop). Went with my mom to the galleria, and walked off to their gamestop while she was looking for something, and I stumbled across two copies(new and used). I bought the used one for 19.99, cd's lightly scratched and I got the book with it, so hopefully it'll run good. haven't' loaded it up yet, but I see a costume called "Bad Blood" in the secrets section on gamefaqs, so I'm itching to see if that's the Psycho Predator costume(though I'm afraid they might be cute and make it be the PredCop that was in the Bad Blood series too).

Hahahahaha. I remember playing through the first game as a Marine, trying to unlock a cheat. It was one of the stages where you had to beat it in 6 minutes or something to unlock the cheat (if you remember the level, it's one of the colony stages where you have to turn off fans and move through large vent shafts or something), so you had to book it as fast as you could at all times. Well, there's one room that has a lone face hugger in it that I completely forgot about. I ran in, and before I even heard it... BAM! Face hugger killed me. It caught me off guard so much that I yelled "FUCK!" at the top of my lungs in sheer shock/surprise. :rofl:
Another time I had the music disc that the game uses while I was playing. The music just plays through on a loop most of the time, regardless of what you're doing... but one time it had perfect, god-like timing. I was traveling through a base and the music came to a part that played some loud noise to surprise you... but it just so happened that I got sneak attacked by an alien at the same time! Made me jump. :rofl:

Holy shit I had that toy. Wish my parents didn't make me get rid of all my Alien/AvP toys.
Regarding the movie, the gore and stuff looks pretty sick and befitting of an Alien/Predator movie... but my expectations for the movie aren't that high. As a movie, it's going to be god awful, but hopefully it can be entertaining in a Snakes on a Plane sort of way. I just hope the preview didn't give away all the cool fight/death scenes.

That is exactly like me. I'm also arachnophobic, so face huggers are in the same ballpark, and I could also never make it through the marine campaign in any of the games at all in fear of that.
The predator campaign was easy though. With the predator it's like "Bring it on!" but as a marine "I wanna go home!"
Yet another update/revision to the AvP:R Trailer was shown recently, no vids yet though, here's some details I found on AvP galaxy:
