New Prometheus trailer (here be rage)

[JesterRaiin]

Firstly, the trailer itself.


Now all the rage...
I knew - i f*cking knew - that Scott will fall for better technology in the past trap. Touchscreens, virtual monitors, high tech, lasers, neons, stinking-green fumes in hibernator chambers. For f*cks sake... Nostromo used such equipment :

Fast Forward 40 years - APC from "Aliens" is equipped with these babies :

...and it wasn't bad. Actually it's possible that for such long distances the earlier, crude but less demanding and solid technology will be chosen over new hi-tech miracles.

Why Scott, WHY ?! >:|

Dafaq i recognize on his shoulder ?

I'm a little confused on what you're trying to convey here.

Are you basically upset because the tech in one future fiction setting is different from the tech in a different future fiction setting?

 

[Vault101]

huhh...really?

I hate to be devils advocate but this is kind of skirting into "comic book guy" territory...as in...most people don't care

He's complaining that they have better technology than in Alien and this is a prequel to that.

OT: I don't really care about the technology, since it's supposed to be the future it makes sense that they alter it to look like it actually the future and not the 80s version of the future, it kinda makes sense, but that trailer was AWESOME, I want to see that now.

Frankly, I don't care. Ridley Scott is doing another sci-fi film and it's set in the Alien universe. I'm not going to let technological paradoxes ruin the experience. And that Space Jockey with the PC, that's probably concept art judging from the signature in the corner.

And if it is in the film, thank you for the spoilers. /sarcasm.

Maybe you could explain away the tech stuff by saying the ship in Prometheus is a fancy science vessel whilst the ship in Alien is a no frills mining ship?

He has a point. We've never seen Weyland Industries tech. I'm also surprised you're not up in arms over the power loader and 'storm rifle' on their viral site.

Well, the best technology reaches the richest people first, maybe the nostromo and hadleys hope weren't funded enough for such things? Seems to me that whereas the nostromo was just another ship and hadleys hope just another colony, prometheus is a pretty big deal and thus would be given all the funding and high tech gadgets that they want.

There's an explantion if you need it. Me however, I don't care much, it's still looking freaking awesome.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Who knows, maybe the people in the future got fed up with the sleek and touch screen technology and some Steve Jobs just of guy made the old looks new again or maybe there is some great big war that result them to set their technologies a few decade back.

Spoiler: Anyway about the new trailer

Wait that alien cobra will become the face hugger? Is it just me or could the infected human may had tranform into those alien thing like the OP posted image?

 

[Casual Shinji]

I actually found the tech of Prometheus to match up with Alien pretty well. Especially the spacesuits. They have this classic bubble dome design which comes across as very retro.

Plus, the Prometheus is a state of the art laboratory vessel meant for discovery, and the Nostromo is basically just a rusty oil tanker.

This.

Also, anyone else wish Ridley would just stop trolling us? It's quite clearly a direct prequel to the first Aliens film. Now we have another life form with a fucking Predator shoulder canon?

It's just concept art, who knows if it will actually be in the movie. From the trailer (which shows a quick glimps of the Space Jockey) I would think it won't be.

I can promise you one thing though; Prometheus will end with the birth of the quinessential Alien. Mark my words, it's going to happen.

Wait, now Prometheus is gonna be an Alien prequel?!
Damn, better watch that movie before I go see Prometheus then.

GET TO DA THEATAAHHH!!!

That would be such an awesome twist.

Strictly speaking, it's always been that. That's how the brothers Scott pitched it to begin with to get the money.

 

[Fappy]

I'm just a little pissed they spoiled the whole plot in the trailer. No point in watching it now.

Thanks for the warning.

OT: Isn't it feasible that they were using an older ship in Alien?
