They better not ruin it by putting in non canon giant bald men.In fear of starting another 'canon' discussion I tentatively ask what makes Prometheus not canon?1. Ruining the Space Jockey.2. Crap Dialogue.3. Spiffy Mr. Clean Ship.4. Bringing in Religion into it. (Space Jockey Jesus, WTF? There are Christian fans of the Alien movies yah know)5. Technology that is more advanced then the latter movies. Shouldn't the shit we see in Prometheus be standard issue by ALIENS?6. Idiotic Characters.7. Plot holes.8. Turning the ALIEN universe from a dead nihilistic space full of mystery to something on the bordering of Star Trek. Honestly putting Predators stuff would be just as bad as putting Prometheus stuff in here. Prometheus can stay in it's singular canon world, away from the ALIEN universe. Just like the AVP and Predator universe.

You are mad. http://popapostle.com/Star-Trek/images/episodes/ST-Rebooted/The-Truth-About-Tribbles_Pt02/Kirk-in-tribbles.jpg = Prometheus? Take a step back, and stop the trolling or write something that's worth discussing.
Quote from: MrSpaceJockey on Nov 25, 2012, 01:59:07 AMAlien 3's included because they have to include it. And they're not even focusing on it that much, understandable, but for me, saddening.
Quote from: Razz on Nov 25, 2012, 11:11:58 AMLooks good but as stated, the Animation needs touching up and given that Feb 12th really isn't that far away, I'm wondering if Gearbox can do it in time.

Just like the AVP and Predator universe.I think it's understood you're not a fan of Prometheus, but also consider that a few of the things you listed are also weaknesses in Alien 3, which was critically panned and more disliked by the general public than Prometheus. However Gearbox is still including elements of Alien 3 into the game. Prometheus is considered canon by Fox and apparently Gearbox. Like it or not, you're just going to have to roll with the punches, assuming you pick up the game.From the sound of it, the references to Prometheus are few in number.I'd like to put down some cash for the magazine, just for those exclusive posters, but I wish I knew what they looked like first.

Ever." - PitchfordI don't understand how such a blatantly false statement can even be made by Pitchford considering the fact that GBX worked with WayForward to make Aliens: Infestation on the Nintendo DS in 2011.Oh yeah, and there are also these:Aliens: Thanatos Encounter (2001) - Gameboy ColorAliens: Extermination (2006) - Arcade
