Make it bright and visually popping like the OG comic. I actually liked having a little bit of color in the A/P verse for once.
I do have a fondness for the og AVP story. I loved the first game and thought the balancing was best there. Aliens with the speed, the acid blood, and the ability to tear stuff apart quickly with their bodies as the natural weapons, humans with the fast repeating weapons that can catch stuff in the open and kill it, and preds with the slow powerful weapons and the toughness. It was also great at atmosphere. It felt the most like Aliens.
But I will also always love AvP2 for the world building.
I've heard numerous people over the years don't like the Broken Tusk, Noguchi teamup, because it makes the Preds too human.
I've also always enjoyed Psykore's take on the preds, where in his SP campaigns he had them more as sadistic killers with little honor.
