Wasn't the drone an alien type that didn't make it to the second movie, ridged like the warrior but smaller around the same size as a runner when on its two (2'76cm)?, I'm curious as to why the first one is considered a "drone". Back in the day It was said that any alien smooth headed meant that it didn't belong to any hive, and the ridges in the heads of the ones in the sequel meant the opposite.
Also, on the size:
picture uploadThat was around 2'96cm, like the new space jockeys in the forgettable Prometheus film, making them around same size as the two classics which made sense at least, just around 4cm taller than the classics.
The pics we see old good Giger working on the first puppet for the movie was around 2'98cm, and the runner was just 20cm or so less in height than the warrior when on its two. In other words a towering monster as well, and scary as heck as he was in alien3 when close enough.
Is it capital that the aliens are huge,and not those 1'50cm tall rats that swarm you continously in the game, and the not that big warrior and first alien that so many call drone?, of course it is. This should not be even up to question.
Just to use a direct but also fun comparison with a recent character that you all know for sure and everyone keeps talking about, Lady Demitresc (lol). I mean, do you see her?, that's exactly what the alien should size on screen. Another example. You see the Praetorian from the avp2010 game?, that's also how the first and second alien (and the runner close when on its two) should size on screen. Identical to LD. Shouldn't that be capital borderline mandatory for the player's experience when fighting aliens in an aliens videogame?
You know. It's just that I'm a bit tired of that "in the name of the gameplay" argument, that the aliens have to be made so much smaller and lose much of its scary factor as direct consequence, and all because of hitboxes and other stuff. I've been hearing that song for around thirty years, and if I tell you the truth.., I think it's been enough of that already.
