I think it's to get people in the zone, but tbh they'd have been better off showing something like The Women, or Sex and the City, to really stir people into a frenzy.

Does this suggest that Killzone 2 is hugely influenced by Aliens? (Just like everything else since that film was released!).

This evening? Well, that's bloody short notice; I would have tried to go otherwise.

Also: Sigourney Weaver was still kinda sexy in Heartbreakers. Watch it; the lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt was in it too ;)

"Killzone isn't influenced by Aliens. Killzone is influenced by Jin-Roh. They should show that instead."
Have you ever actually seen Jin-Roh? It's not exactly a fast paced or action oriented picture... Aliens is a good choice and fits the game. Only problem could be that 99% of the people into SciFi probably already seen this one like 100 times. Anyway, it's on the big screen:-) |

"She comes out of hypersleep in her underpants"
There was hypersleep taking place in her underpants? That sounds like a cheeky slight against her sexual prowess :) |

"Is there a gamer on the planet who has not seen Aliens already? I think not."
Is that not perhaps the point of showing it at this event? If they had said "win tickers to see Jin-Roh", most people would responbd with "What?". |

Heartbreakers is a great film. :-)
And yes, Sigourney Weaver is featured prominently in her underpants in Aliens as well. Just checked. |

Directors cut is great ... as someone else said the auto turrets is brilliant.

Aliens is one of my favourite films of all time, But did not see it in the cinema when it first came out, So this will look and sound great on the big screen. Cannot wait. see you there EG.

Yeah, same as that. Although I was four when it came out ;) I love the film though and I can see its influences on Killzone (although moreso on Halo, back in the day). Would love the chance to watch it on the big screen for free. |

what is "favorite"? do they put it in toothpaste?
Anyway, while its true that the directors cut spoils the mystery by explaining the first encounter it does make up for things with the auto-guns. Overall, its the better film IF you already have seen the regular version (not the "rat-fat son-of-abitch" TV version!) plus seeing it big screen would give me the shivers. Incidentally, there will be killzone there. nobody want a go? |

My memory is hazy, but I don't think they showed any shots of the aliens being hit by the sentry guns. It was happening, but alluded to and not displayed. Probably why they dropped the scene from the cinema release, it was probably confusing at the screentest.
I applaud you gentlemen for not using the Hudson cliche so far in this thread. You know the one. I'll put on ignore the first person to quote it. |

"My memory is hazy, but I don't think they showed any shots of the aliens being hit by the sentry guns."
They do a couple of times, but the shots are really fast (like half a second) and show very little since the corridor is pretty smoky. But yeah, anyone actually interested in going for this game, whateveritscalled. |

I also didn't much like the directors cut. The sentry gun scene was ok, didn't much mind it. Given that we the audience don't know the layout of the ship, its slightly pointless to explain how multiple entry points are protected (though it does set up the "they are in the ceiling" quite well I guess.
The parts I liked less was the way we awere basically told what was going on before the marines had even arrived (the scene that showed the family being attacked by face huggers ). That was just ridiculous. It robs tension from the setup, and gives us nothing in return. its not like everything isn't eventually explained, so there was no value in doing it afaics. |

The most important part of the director's cut - and one of the most insane cuts ever made to any film - was the quick scene where we learn Ripley had a young daughter who grew old and died while she was drifting in the Narcissus. This scene makes Ripley's attitude and actions towards Newt all the more understandable and poignant.

If you want Aliens quotes, just play COD 4, the script writer just looked at lots of major films and stole all their best lines @_@
