Not one from the movies but the game AVP-R
So I got on a weird nostalgia trip and got myself a new PSP with AVP-R and I'm still under the impression it's the best version of AVP-R, but I thought I'd post about some of the things I found kind of neat on a new run.
1.) You can definitely see where Rebellion pulled from for 2010.
At first I was under the impression it was just the Predator's face but the model used in the opening cutscene (the one that looks like Scar) feels like it could've easily been an early exploration for Dark.
This even extends to animations as while things are quicker and far more fluid in 2010, Requiem does use the same sort of run for the Predators and even attack animations down to the heavy attack. The wrist blades seem to be identical in design between both versions.
2.) Wolf has a complete different set of gauntlets.
It actually came as a surprise to me because Wolf is actually rendered with two computer gauntlets with blades mounted on both, again just like in 2010 (I'm not sure why this was a thing). But even stranger is that in Multiplayer there are Predators with different gauntlets which makes it weirder this occurred seeing as Wolf uses a wrist blade gauntlet very similar (if not a re-dressed prop) to the one seen in AVP.
3.) This isn't taking place anywhere close to the film.
In the Highschool level you can find a basketball championship banner which says that they're the champions for 2005. Bear in mind Requiem takes place within days of the original film which takes place in 2004 around October of that year. If the school has already won its 2005 championship, then we're presumably on 2006 or if they lost that it would be 2007 which isn't totally out of the question considering the game released on November 13th 2007. So the game in essence is more than a little late following up to Scar's little accident even if it did take place in 2005 after the championship.
4.) Despite having a model for Scar, they don't use it.
In the crashed Predator ship you can actually find two Predator bodies, one being the mission objective and the other being under a pile of rubble that has unique textures. The one standing in for Scar is strangely a model of Wolf (despite having a model for Scar) and while it's unclear what the body under the rubble is as it's facing down it looks like it doesn't have a mask. The model for the dead Predator is low-poly so it's possible it is Wolf's seeing as an unmasked Wolf at one point did exist (known from screenshots) but this is the only place we can see it.
5.) The Predator 2 trophy wall is in the game.
In the same room with the Predator under the rubble is a few low-poly skulls affixed to the wall. They're low-poly but they are there and they have unique textures representing the bones. I don't know why it's affixed to the wall and not a trophy case nor why its in a separate room when it's in the same place Harrigan walks up to but it's not the same ship anyways. Still odd since it is clearly a reference to that.
