This looks great and I really want to watch the long play, but gods … the sound of the players footsteps are louder than everything else. I don’t think I can bare it 😄

Because Giger.

Why does he control it with his dick?

The ad is out of a TV Guide.

The movie aired March 25, 1984.

Yeah, if this is not for the first TV showing, then the cat was already out of bag for sure.

my guess is that the ad is sometime post 1986 when Weaver was indeed the biggest name of the bunch

and the role wasn't specifically written for a woman actor, but she got it

the primal fear theme it was going for is face rape, scary for (most) men and women

Interesting that Ripley is front and centre there. In the movie the characters are killed off roughly from the most famous actor to the least famous one, eventually only leaving the completely unknown (at the time) Weaver, to make it look like she doesn't stand a chance against the alien.

Of course, today she's by far the biggest star in the cast, ironically thanks to the success of the movie, which kinda ruins this clever casting trick. I guess her name was already big by the time of the TV release.

Relatable to my core.

Loving mother, “mama bear” energy, all about my family

It's so sweet how much she cares for her children. Bit of a helicopter parent though.

Makes me wish someone could do a cut of Resurrection to improve it... It is actually a good movie, until after the diving scene... I think if you just did away with some of the long talky scenes it would improve drastically.

You should!

Agreed. The assembly cut is solid in my opinion.

Ok, but the extended cut of Aliens 3 really does make the movie way better.

I've been meaning to watch the series again, I don't think I've seen any of these since the 90s (and nothing past Resurrection.)

What’s this? A new sci-fi meme sub based around media I’ve watched a dozen times?!

I’m in!

2010 one is technically a remake of Rebellion's other AVP FPS and it is quite a downgrade to it and a travesty compared to an absolute masterpiece that is AVP2 (because prime Monolith doesn't fuck around).

the film came out well after the game series started

That's why I specified the games that were the tie-ins with the film. Though it looks like I was a little off with my description; there was just one game across both films, and it was actually released a few years later.

the 1999 one was great but AvP2 by prime Monolith was fucking boss. Especially on hardcore because enemy AI wasn't fucking around.

the film came out well after the game series started. There were a couple of beat em ups and then in 1999 the first FPS came out and it was fucking great. And then in 2002 prime Monolith made it look easy with their Aliens Versus Predator 2 which is god tier - ultimate representation of Predator and Alien gameplays. So naturally you can't buy this game because we can't have nice things. Still worth checking out by other means.

The first (I think?) Alien vs Predator game on the PC was fucking amazing! Especially the multiplayer where everyone could be a different species, e.g. you could have Aliens, Predators and Marines all fighting each other.

Was also the first game on PC that gave all species different views and ways to play. Running the walls as an Alien with what is basically a wallhack view, was pretty cool. Cycling through the view modes as invisible Predator was cool as well. Marines were a bit boring, but only because they played like all other shooters would.
