Not sure if this has been talked about before or not but..
Spoiler
When you enter the medlab a face hugger comes to life in a container, now wasn't only 2 alive in the film and they got killed when they attacked Ripley n Newt.... im confuddled
According to this game, a lot has happened since we last saw LV-426 in Aliens. WY dispatched a research/recovery team to LV-426 before the actual game even begins. Maybe they set up the new facehugger in medlab.
It was mentioned before, for now I'll take it as a continuity error
Continuity errors don't exist, there is ALWAYS an explanation!
Aliens grow too fast? Hormons!
Predators die too fast? They are teenagers!
Egg aboard the Sulaco? It's in the script!
Too many facehuggers? Damn, Weyland-Yutani caught fresh ones!
I guess they will be responsible for 90% of the continui...ehm features.
May be one was playing dead during the movie, because it was such a good boy.
Seriously, though, there might as well be more Facehuggers in captivity.. Or this:

I think the whole demo segment was just a hodgepoge of fan service, and there won't be anything like that in full game.

it ain't a continuity error if you can explain it away. :)
Ash was wrong after all.
Or the radiation from the AP explosion bought it back to life. With super powers.
Or a wizard did it.
Compared to the colony's actual continued existance, a live hugger is minor.
I did find it a bit odd that the marines are talking about "xenos" right at the start, then seconds later someone is asking "What is that thing" in relation to the hugger?
That's because "xenos" aren't a term specific to Aliens - 'Aliens' established that with Gorman using the word before any of the Marines encountering any Aliens.

^Yup
Xeno, literally meaning 'Alien/Foreign/Strange'. Likewise Xenomorph is a very generic term to describe a type, rather then a specific creature.
But its what has stuck since :P
We'll see if that holds if the first act involves battling an Alien horde on the Sulaco a la Infestation.

It's a fact that they encounter an alien horde onboard the sulaco there's a screen of 2 aliens standing aside some cryotubes and it certainly will make sense to why did both of the vessels sulaco and sephora crash landed on LV-426. But still it makes me wonder if the sulaco is overrun by a battallion force where the hell did the hosts come from we are talking about more than 10 aliens, it reminds me to Aliens: Nightmare asylum when Hicks, Newt and the Android (cant remember his name) are onboard a vessel with a live cargo of cocooned hosts, is it possible that there were more crew onboard the sulaco? this lack of info is killing me.
If Aliens: Infestation (the semi-companion game for Colonial Marines) is any indication:
Spoiler
the Sulaco got boarded by a bunch of people from the Union of Progressive Peoples and somehow it resulted in a shitton of Aliens or something so the whole ship is overrun
This reminds of some Dead Space bullshit with the Marker and the Untilogists, if so.
Whoa whoa whoa, nothing about Dead Space is "bullshit", and I will not have someone on the internet badmouthing the perfection that is Dead Space.

Perhaps those two marines only saw the full grown aliens on the Sulaco beforehand but not any FHers, so that's why they're surprised when they see it on Hadley's. I'm only guessing.

Not saying there was something bullshitty about Dead Space, just saying it'd be bullshit if they make something totally similar here...Sorry :)

Not a zealot, merely someone who is a True Believer in the universal truth that is Dead Space's perfection.
If you're badmouthing Dead Space, SO HELP ME GOD.
System Shock 2 is better. ;D

I'm not sure how it's all going to fit.
Spoiler
Infestation level 1 is on the Sulaco, but it ends with only a small portion of the ship being explored so I'm guessing there'll be return visits. As well as to LV-426. And this seems to be set a few weeks after Aliens/ Alien3, rather than the months mentioned in CM.
A good possibility is that the research team sent before the game even began used the Sulaco as an added research station and/or quick salvage run, went to the planet surface, brought 1, possibly 2 back, maybe a queen that survived the explosion and there goes a ship hidden xeno hive :D
Worse still, The derelict could of survived the blast -_- those crafty space jockeys and their Organic Technology...
QuoteWorse still, The derelict could of survived the blast -_- those crafty space jockeys and their Organic Technology...
From what we know, it apparently did.
Well the ship was broken down by the lava flow in ALIENS. I'm sure in full blast it would have been decimated. But with the colony's survival, it might have a chance.
There's a level in the derelict isn't it? So it might have survived, or parts of it might have.

THIS.
Dead Space = cheap jump scares
System Shock(both!) = true horror
well, we know we get to shoot at WY mercenaries and stuff, that is a confirmed fact. so the most likely reason is that the WY forces got there first, set a camp on the Sulaco, got infested in the derelict or the colony(and making up for most of the alien presence), then escaped back to the Sulaco, which became infested too, killing all that was left of them in it.
Time to start a war (clears throat), Dead Space and System Shock are monkey doodoo
well, i sorta agree, the first system shock had a hell of a shitty UI, right now, the vainilla is unplayable. it. using mouselook mod and a hi-rez texture pack make it a lot better.
the sequel is perfect in every aspect.
I think Michael Bishop II before he reach fury 161 was on Sulaco and then to lv 426 he bring some eggs to sulaco and then went to fury 161 .He left on Sulaco few scientist to study the eggs and when he arrived at fury 161 he lost connection.Micahael bishop II knew all.
WEYLAND YUTANI KNOWS EVERYTHING
The E3 demo is just that, though, I thought? A mock up to show the journalists and stuff. Haven't they said that the scenes as viewed won't be exactly in the game? Maybe the facehugger is just for the demo.

Yep, that's exactly what it was, but people refuse to remember that.
I'd like a System Shock 3 some day, or maybe a HD remake of SS1 and 2.
i really doubt they're going to change much now. all interviews point that this is what they want the game to be.
Dead Space is awesome yo!
