It'll be in the magazine. We'll probably get an online version a few weeks down the line.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jun 11, 2018, 03:04:56 PMI looked for the Empire magazine on the shelves yesterday at the book store and no luck
One of the members here is a subscriber. He should be sending something over when he gets a chance.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jun 11, 2018, 03:25:03 PMOh ok, gotcha
It's not in the stores until Thursday, I believe. Only subscribers have it now.

QuoteWhen Trish Monaghan shows us the new armor she's designed for the Predator, for instance, it has a medieval quality to its design, as if it belongs to a ritualized order of knights. One element she is particularly proud of is his new armor his back-flap, evoking feudal Japan.
"It's a bit Samurai, so it was able to cover, so he wasn't too exposed," she says of how it covers some of the musculature in the legs while still showcasing the familiar shape of what Schwarzenegger memorably deemed to be "one ugly motherf**ker."

UPGRADERULZ!, no. Anyone who disagrees with this film's ambitions are not "BIG DUMB STUPID MEANY HEADS". These individuals to which you speak of, simply only want to regurgitate the past over and over due to the fact that it is familiar.

Definitely getting a female - pred vibe from that photo. I think that "breastplate" from the side view supports that.

Quote from: OpenMaw on Jun 12, 2018, 01:07:32 AM
Yeah, it's a dude. That's just armor plating and the Predator's posture is slightly down and turned so it's jutting out.
It's a dudebro.
Quote from: OpenMaw on Jun 12, 2018, 01:18:33 AM
If we were getting females we'd have much more apparent rounded boobage and a pred-a-da-ka-donk.

Just because I can never imagine the female predator idea being done subtle.
Quote from: whiterabbit on Jun 12, 2018, 02:05:26 AM
Well if it is male... is it a kid/teen predator? Because it looks undersized to what we normally see.
Quote from: Wysps on Jun 12, 2018, 03:08:07 AM
For the movies, I can see them going that route :-\ Unless they follow some of the comics/novels where there's no obvious dimorphism. But for the movies they'd probably exaggerate the differences like that. Ridiculous, but she does have a killer core! (Must be the pilates)

I actually like that design, all i'd change is the breasts. Everything else says "female" to me. You don't need the boobs. Just have very subtle softer bumps there, if anything.
Quote from: PredBabe on Jun 12, 2018, 04:42:57 AMIs that eye liner on the predator eyebrow region? Also that cod piece screams Sean Connery in Zardoz. I mean holy shit it's an epic cod piece. Now female predator aside, does this confirm that Predators have junk?
Everyone gettin caught up because of the chest armor when there is an obvious bulge in the nether regions.

Yeah, that's precisely the quote I was thinking of. I'm actually loving what we're seeing of the Japanese influenced design so far. It's funny because I really dislike the Samurai-influenced Yautja.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jun 12, 2018, 10:32:14 AMDefinitely, they pretty much took the feedback and created the new trailer = No kid, lots of Predator action.
I think it'll be July before we see another full trailer. I think the recent TV spot was pushed out in response to the lukewarm reactions to the teaser trailer.

I won't watch another trailer though, up until now, everything had the perfect tease, but because the first trailer didn't show much and wasn't that well received, they will spoil the shit in the second one, we'll probably gonna see everything they have in store in order to lure people in.
That's a damn shame to be honest, everyone is bitching about trailers spoiling movies, yet, when a teaser is really a teaser, everyone is yelling "lame!".
Sometimes, but just sometimes, i hate people.

Just deleted a few posts. I know not everyone will like (or have already made their minds up about it) the movie and that's 100% fine. What I will not tolerate is any sort of "you're not a fan if you enjoy this" or "you're not a fan if you don't like this" kind of rubbish. This is not IMDB. You will treat others in this fandom with some respect. If you're not mature enough to do that, you wont be coming on here on doing it.

Not exactly sure where I insinuated that hicks. I was legitimately concerned Larry might get into trouble for speaking disrespectfully to a possible paying customer. If I said something out-of-turn without realizing it, then I do indeed apologize.

Guy also has super good posture. Feet, hips, shoulders stacked, core engaged, knees slightly bent. I wonder how many takes it took to get it just right ;D But on another note, I actually prefer the sandals to barefoot. He looks like he has some stirrups going on...

Yeah, especially with the smoke and those floating things. They did mention in the interviews adding more of a horror element to the film, so maybe that scene will be on the creepier side and less, idk, The Faculty.

I always notice with ADI that the mask doesnt seem to go up high enough on the top of the head, does anyone know if its always been like that? I noticed it in the avp films but i dont remember it being like that in predators or P1 & 2
it actually makes more sense that way. the mask would be perfect fit if the predator had a flat face but we all know that isn't the case!Quote from: yautjapet on Jun 21, 2018, 01:00:51 AM
Cool animation! And I kind of dig that he's barefoot. I think I like the idea of such stealthy hunters being able to move and climb and jump better without shoes.
classic predator sandals to be more exact XD
He's gotta put some tenni runners on or he'll catch a cold.
On a side note though, their feel make me laugh. They're just so big. :D
Guy also has super good posture. Feet, hips, shoulders stacked, core engaged, knees slightly bent. I wonder how many takes it took to get it just right ;D But on another note, I actually prefer the sandals to barefoot. He looks like he has some stirrups going on...
I can only imagine. He's got a nice pair of legs, look at those calf muscles! ;D
I kind of get a Silent Hill vibe from that shot, with the school and all. It actually looks kind of eerie.Spoiler

I agree by the way, I think there's still a chance it could end up being female. The way the chest piece is laid continues to be highly suspect. In some angles, the "pecs" are more like protrusions. Of the breast variety.

I keep saying look at viking women or American Indian wardrobe. That's where you can see an influence that makes sense and from that you could design a female predator that isn't a glorified sex object with a monsters head on it. I mean, Predators have big heads to begin with yet somehow some of these artists still give them boobs that rival the size of their heads. It especially doesn't make sense if you're trying to design a warrior or a hunter kind of a character. They'd have that shit taped or strapped down.

To answer the question, no, there are no apparent nipples on predators. That being said, I don't think they would be as apparent as human's because of their skin. Kind of like elephant nipples, which are really only noticeable on the females.
Of course if you're not a fan of the whole breastfeeding idea, there was another really good and plausible theory, made by a fan from another forum, of them feeding their young similar to birds.
So make of it what you will.

That's actually a really interesting idea, and one that's not totally far-fetched - especially if they don't breastfeed and their infancy is similar to humans. I kind of like it, despite it being somewhat gross :laugh:

For me I wouldn't want many differences between males and females. And it shouldn't even be mentioned in movie, doesn't seem relevant, any of the predators so far could be either male or female, anyone can see it as they want it.
Maybe just not the ones in AVP, since they are on a manhood ritual.

They seem like a good blend of both reptile and mammal, as they possess many primate characteristics, if you ask me. Walking upright, clasping hands (with 5 digits) and their weird alien hair. It's not that implausible.

There were some pre-historic creatures that looked quite like a missing link between mammals and reptiles, it's believable, the characteristics are there as you pointed. But since they evolved on a different planet, I wouldn't want to see that many similarities with Earth's species.
Still I always imagined predators as having went through a similar evolucionary background as humans had.

Quote from: Huggs on Jun 30, 2018, 12:46:17 AM
I could easily see some form of co-evolution of the different species across the stars. Perhaps some grand evolutionary experiment.
What if the engineers seeded all planets capable of sustaining life with the exact same DNA. Given pure randomness and chance, the superior species would evolve and take over dominion. On some planets, the insect life either evolved faster or differently from earth and became the xenomorphs, which then took over. The predators would be more akin to some form of reptile or dinosaur-like creature that evolved to walk upright and subsequently dominated their planet. And of course, humanity conquered ours.
Or heck, maybe the reason we're alone in the universe is because all of those other dead planets are where the xenomorphs and species like them took over and destroyed everything. Maybe from a Ridley perspective, we're floating in a galaxy full of failed experiments. Surrounded by the remains of failed species/civilizations and their now barren worlds.

Hence the nipples. There are only so many other things left to twist once you take nipples out of the equation. Ironically, group cohesiveness is also reduced under these conditions.

Wow i think it's really good in terms of design. But my main gripe with it is that it isn't menacing enough. The tinier frame makes it less ominous, i mean it's like facing up with a man or a woman, physically the man is more intimidating because of his bigger frame obviously, aside from a few exceptions of course. It's the same here, it's a cool design but not ominous enough. I'd face that any day compared to any other preds we knew in the movies ;D

I'm just pleading for more diversity. Out of 5 sequel films, all of them recreated the classic in some way or another.

Eh... The AVP films did not recreate the classic. They had a look to their armor that was specific to those films. Predator 2 literally cannibalized the classic suit for several Predators.
The only film to recreate classic so far was Predators.
