I hope that shot of the "infrared" of super looking at other predator is only used when it doesn't have a mask. Because I want the original infrared look for when the preds wear their mask. That shot reminded me too much of AVP.
Quote from: Wobblyboddle77 on Aug 03, 2018, 10:49:07 PMThe infrared is fine without the mask for the Upgrade I guess, but I would prefer the red vision from the original Predator. But I'm not a fan of the overall aesthetic of it. Still looks like a regular infrared camera was used.
Hi Everybody,
Long time lurker here,below is a you tube link i found for the new trailer 'The predator' that has just been released, it shows a lot of new shots including the predator running, he looks quite stealthy and quick, shots of characters hanging off the predator ship, with a very retro looking title screen shot.

In the original, it looks and feels more Alien looking and it also looks like it's natural vision for the Predator than this and in Predators. Predators (2010) may have gone back to the red vision without the mask, but it still feels like a regular infrared camera was used and it was too sharped looking. The original feels more natural because it's soft and blurry in areas while only a certain area is focused.. It's like if you squint your eyes a little bit, it does darken around the edges a little.

Quote from: SiL on Aug 04, 2018, 09:40:10 AM
Predators see thermal without a mask. In the first movie they had to douse the jungle down with ice water and get the actors to stand next to a fire to get them to register properly; what you see at the end is basically what the cameras actually saw without any mucking around.

His head is also changing, his forehead is like a normal Predator, then he gets the spikes in the middle, like an irokese.
I'm loving this.

It seems to move in some way, on the shoulders especially, like it was changing shape or something
Quote from: azamultic on Aug 06, 2018, 04:22:16 PM
It has some kind of metamorphosing and changing of texture on the skin. Or he is growing armor (like Johnny Handsome said), making his skin get thicker, or he actually can camouflage himself with his skin like a real chameleon. Look closely on the skin of Upgrade at 00:17.
Quote from: Xerxész on Aug 06, 2018, 05:10:40 PM

Quote from: BigDaddyJohn on Aug 06, 2018, 05:00:21 PMYep, noticed that too, a very nice little touch for Shane, or whoever thought about that ;)
Also does anyone else notice that in the thermal POV shot we see fugitive's mandibles through the mask ?

Holy shit...maaaaan! :o
Thanks for lighten me up, guys. I did not catch that kind of metamorphosis...quite a quick shot.
It seems, he and his body is preparing to fight, as you say. It's some kind of offensive/defensive biomechanism... He grows spikes, you can see it on his forehead and also on his left upper arm as well (or the latter could be only skin tone change, I don't know...now I'm already seeing little spikes :D ).
This wasn't in the script, but I can say that I also like this. :)

You guys are seeing all these things, and I'm still trying to catch the Upgrade's skin changing [emoji23] I don't know if my monitor is too dark, but I'm having a hard time seeing Upgrade's "metamorphosing". Did catch the blade retraction though once it was pointed out lol

20th Century Fox has released a new TV spot for The Predator. “The Ultimate Predator” spot features some new footage including a look at the Predator heat-vision and HUD, as well as a new harpoon weapon.
The commercial announces that tickets for the film are now on sale.
Some Italian tv spots have also been released. While most of the footage is the same, the throw-down sequence with the “Upgrade” is lingered on a bit longer, and we see a new shot of the Predator spaceship flying past a fighter jet.
In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot of this Italian TV Spot, you can see the Upgrade’s skin changing form and color as he approaches the “Fugitive” Predator.
It also seems as though the CGI for the “Upgrade” Predator has been changed from how we saw it in the last trailer. Check out the comparison below.

The CGI has been updated a bit beyond just the color change effect. You can see that his head and dreds look slightly different, and his mouth is now closed.

They look very meaty and shiny, also have that typical brownish Predator colour, but then change to a more hard shell-like skin, with spikes, also gets a bit bulkier.

Doesn't look like "armor" to me. Perhaps this is his ability to blend in, sort of like the cloak on regular Predators.
Quote from: Feeds On Minds on Aug 10, 2018, 01:27:16 PMSo splicing your dna to hack your body to do things you needed advanced technology for is natural how again? It's Deus Ex all over again.
The upgrade is seriously growing on me. I think it's interesting how it's "evolved", yet comes off as very primal and primitive; stripping away technology for more natural and traditional hunting advantages.
If it's able to camouflage itself by changing it's skin rather than cloaking, I think that would be f**king amazing and potentially terrifying.
God help me I'm pumped for this...not looking forward to that serious let down next month.

So it seems the assassin is part of the sequence that seem to take place in a sort of quarry... Where the harpoon weapon seem to be used in the previous spot too, so it could totally belong to him.
That's not a quarry.
That's Stargazer base I think...that area where the black SUVs go through (in the beginning of the second trailer IIRC).

Roka I fundamentally agree with you. Upgrade is unnecessary. To me we don't need bigger badder DNA enhanced predators. The originals from p1 and p2 should be how they look and act imo. That tribal almost Rastafarian look to them seems to getting eroded film by film.
Also Upgrade to me comes across very Hollywood monster looking. Not a super intelligent extra terrestrial that has conquered space. Still I'm excited for the film. I can overlook my petty differences as long as the film works.

It's funny how things work out. Back in 2010, I was saying the same thing about the black super predators.
I was so wrong. In retrospect, that's forgivable. Since they were still traditional, a mere subspecies, slightly larger. They weren't 10 foot tall embarrassing moronic upgrades.

Quote from: Xerxész on Aug 25, 2018, 06:16:15 AMI agree, you clearly see Quinn getting shot with some energy weapon in the same forest location in the other behind the scenes video, so i think it's on his left arm, and maybe he has the harpoon and wristblade on the same gauntlet, the right one... Or the wristblade IS the harpoon and can be shot like that.Quote from: BigDaddyJohn on Aug 24, 2018, 11:26:33 PM

OK, in the new Predator Hound spot Assassin uses the harpoon with his right hand against the Stargazer soldier.
So, most likely this will be the ion cannon.Spoiler

Two new TV spots in addition to the Predator hound one in case anyone hasn't seen it yet. Haven't found separate videos of them, so its just the Predator hound Spot, then the two new ones and then the other Spots we've seen. Some good stuff. Definitely recognize a few lines from the script.

I don't think so.Spoiler
What I can imagine is that they expanded the scenes after Fugitive's crash landing. I mean the slaughter of McKenna's men in Mexico. The longer that scene takes, the more believable is the arrival of the Stargazer helicopter "so fast".[close]
Also I think, that the vision mode with the HUB is Fugitive's. An organic eye wouldn't create this.
We haven't seen Assassin's POV yet.

Yeah, similar scene. But that's not a thing...that's a shuriken. :) Which makes me think if Assassin will use a shuriken also... Because for me it seems that scene takes place at the final hunt...not at Fugitive's time.

Traeger decidesSpoiler
to blow up the Ark (or the Predator mother ship)? Just put these scenes after each other from the PREDATOR Mega Predator Spaceship Fight Trailer: 1:25 and 0:16...in this order.
Or maybe Assassin blows it up, but it doesn't look a predatorish explosion to me.[close]

I'm really tired of the exhausted "but Predator had jokes tooooooo" argument. The one liners in that movie mostly occured during the first act when it was still a red meat, rocknroll action porn in the tradition of Comando. Once the Predator started hunting the team and it slowly dawned on Dutch's men what they were dealing with the movie became much more earnest, the cheesy jokes and one liners started to dry up. By the time the Predator shows up things are pretty grim.

"You are one ugly motherf**ker..."
They're peppered throughout. It's a valid counter-argument. Predator was plenty fun and plenty funny. You haven't seen The Predator. You don't know it isn't going to come off the same. Shane and other people have spoken about how aware they are of getting the right balance. They're conscious of it.

Looks like fugitive isn't strapped down when he breaks free. Did he fake his death somehow in order to trick the guards?Spoiler
In the script yes[close]Spoiler

Something about Fugitive being able to force himself into a coma, if I remember correctly, and then manipulate his own vital signs?[close]

It is implied that he can play dead yes, and he does... But is it a specific technique only this predator is capable of, or does this extend to the species, we don't know.[close]

It bugged me the ease with which the humans were able to use the tech, and really disliked how it could magically read their thoughts or "sense threats" like some kind of AI.

I don't think it's "We cant have 'good' Predators" so much as they looked like they were part of the US Military

I can. ;D
In all seriousness, the violent nature of the Predators has always struck me as the crux of their entire culture. They are a civilization of hunters, all other forms of life are either prey or scenery. Any mercy was based upon a character doing them a solid favor, or going to great lengths to earn their respect. All that gets you is a pass though. It's not like you're best bros with their species for life.
Maybe it's just me. Maybe there are a lot others who feel the same way. But one of the main things that elevates the Alien and Predator franchises above the rest is that there is no room for negotiation. Whether it's pure instinct or absolute pleasure, these creatures are totally hell bent on slaughtering us. There is the hunt, the hive, and nothing else. We will remain at each others throats, even unto extinction.
Quote from: huntin8-t0n on Oct 02, 2018, 08:38:34 PMI sent think that would be possible. Any intelligent being can be nagotiated with and can change. That would get boring, I would like to see an avp movie were the predators are working with the humans to fight aliens. Like a startrek Klingon relationship.Quote from: Huggs on Sep 16, 2018, 03:54:23 AMQuote from: bobcunk on Sep 15, 2018, 07:32:30 PM
