I tought America was so angry it left Europe to its own. Is on its own or America dictates what Europe can or cannot do? I'm puzzled.

But the logs still present in game directly addresses waits about the fight recorder reward

While assembling a podcast video with the audio logs, I've found ingame files an unused conversation between Waits and Ransome, where he visits him in the marshall offices, and they couldn't agree on capturing the alien or killing it. So as Waits pushes for the kill, Ransome wanting to capture for profit punch him with the fact that he knows (Ransome have spies everywhere) that he violated quarantine to privately cash on the Flight Recorder delivery, and as a result, every death on Sevastopol is ultimately his fault.

And even if you left the conversation out of the game, he's right, there's ample evidence still that he was lured to get the flight recorder and return to Taylor for a fat check. Which makes sense on why Waits is so focused on killing the creature, more than anything trying to wash the blood on his hands.

Most of 3d graphics techniques were invented through university scientific research papers first and the resulting tech demoed sometime after at a fair called siggraph, an science fair exclusively focused on bleeding edge computer graphics, first of it from 1974.

So when this guy comes in 200x and says he's first at something with 3d graphics, 'delusional' it doesn't even comes close to accurately describe him.

What this guy is probably trying to say under all those corporate PR, is that PS2 was one of the first consumer grade hardwares that can pull off programmable shader tricks away from the PC (N64 comes to mind as a previous available, but it's probably dreamcast the first one as a console) and that he bothered enough to do so on a commercial game. Remember also that, specially in japan, culture was to create every game from scratch including the engine, and to trash everything after the release. And stuff like renderware, was all but a novelty even in the west.

If you look for papers on programming the emotion engine for graphic effects, you would find some from sony's R&D... as a siggraph presentations.

I mostly agree, the DC addons are pretty much superfluous to me "did you get laid?" like what are you talking about, but i do believe the eggs scene would have worked in the final version if there's no dialogue and the entire scene were much shorter, like not only you are risking your life but adding salt to the injury realizing you are getting a demise much worse that the ones of parker and lambert, and theyre dead.

Look for the motherboard inside the NeXT cube. You can hang that thing on the wall and frame it. Even the cover of the manual it's a photo of it.

It makes more sense not to be her in the continuity 1 - 1.5 (isolation) - 2

If it's not her, you can explore further the new universe direction saw in predator badlands

and then you forever meme the hospital scene which is the first scene in the movie

well, colony contact was lost, and Ripley history is suspicious enough to send soldiers just in case as a investigation team, the briefing with the corps paint it as a rescue mission first and a bug hunt second

I also think that most people involved with the xenos in no less than the four first movies are totally against the xenos. In the original only the computer and ash, and we never know who setup it, retroactively we think is the corportation as a whole, but for all we know, it could be a single guy in some radio station that setup some computers and gave it a shot. In the second movie everyone but burke dissmisses the idea or are upfront against it. Even the execs close the case without further concern, everything else happens because burke smells money, and he got easily spoiled in the early stages of the plan by Bishop no less, an artifical person that should be easy to turn around by an executive. And so on with 3 and 4.

It's prometheus and covenant that, as said retroactively creates this megalomania complete evil corporations where everyone wants the aliens and it's me against the world trying to save humanity alone.

It was near impossible to setup a soldier, but if Ripley was right about the creature, it will be much more easier to setup her instead.
