Discussion: Predator Visions/Mask HUD

Hmm okay… Basically i get that there were topics about this and i also made topics about it but it didn’t get many likes or notice… AND i get that they have to fix stuff first before adding content, but lets be realistic, this has to be adressed and added for much more enjoyable and immersive experience for predator…

Visions:

  • Thermal vision (Redesign) Color adjustments, Audio Line has to be responsive and in-sync with other sounds in game (as we see in movies btw)
  • Alien Vision (Probably unnecessary right now) Basically black and white with glimps of Green colors (would be cool to have if they add aliens as an AI in game)
  • Footprint Projectory vision (Seen in predators 2010 movie) where the vision lets predator isolate ONLY footprints of humans but in this case would be dope to track animals too or aliens or AI
  • Heartbeat sensor (Redesigned better) to let us see heartbeats of players that are mudded but once FIRETEAM is mudded the heartbeat is going to be barley noticable if far away and gets clearer once close up.

Totally with you on redesigning thermal vision - it looks cheap and rushed. Other games out there have this effect done so much better, it would be nice if they could get it to lo0ok exactly like in the original predator film or at the very least predator 2

I recently played this phone game calles AVP evolution, and it actually had better vision colors lol…

P.S: I know a lot of people who love pred and play as him dont feel like him at all most of the times cause even myself i feel way too limited when i play him, all you have to do is spam vision and kill pigs and just shoot them from above so u dont get ur HP melted off if u go on ground

I know, right? I think they had to rush things for relese date and the outcome is what we have XD

What i want right is just to be able to hear their heartbeats slowing and speeding up when they run or are scared when i get close lmao…

AND also where the hell is predators audio tracking where if u remember in Predatory 2010 when the guy uses a grenade launcher in ship and then the Super predator uses vision and then predators trajectory crosshair is floating and tried to locate where the explosion came from, its basically so cool looking and immersive af

Totally, remember the tracking system in first predator, when Arnie used a rock to distract pred and his location was immediately revelled? Same sort of system was in AVPR - that would be awesome

I found how its called, Laser triangulation btw…

I’d like to see the Predators vision have that red filter when the bio mask is destroyed.

Word y’all! I love these ideas. We need something that makes us feel like we are in a Predator movie.

Example: Fire Team
Fire Team has to take time and scope out objectives and camps sometimes. Instead of rushing through every objective as fast as possible.

Example: Predator
The Predator has to acquire a certain amount of “Stalking or Hunting” points (or something) to perform a variety of different executions. Other than the standard ones, which should cost nothing to perform.

Well… let me hit you with some lore here XD

Red one is not a filter - the blue vision we all know is a filter of the red vision - and that red vision is Yautja’s natural, native heat vision. That is literally how they see. Helmets have no thermal cameras in them, just filters that translate earths heat signatures to be more understandable for them. That is why this red vision in predator is so fuzzy and unclear. God knows why they changed that in predator 2

In game, as part of game mechanic, heat vision costs energy and is removed when you will loose your mask – that is the reason they cannot implement lore accurate native vision in to the game- its in opposition to the in game mechanics.

Yeah, I thought the Yautja saw in that vision naturally??

I knew it, but these movies try and change so much.

Correct.

That is their natural vision, which is why I said it should default to the vision when the bio mask is destroyed.

I just thought it would add to the immersion of the game. I realize that the vision of the Predator surroundings is natural when not specifically in thermal for game purposes. Not having the bio mask is a handicap, and from what i can remember from the first movie , it would make things difficult.

Hmmm, maybe too difficult?

I mean the MUST thing in game to have is being able to see in red when your mask gets blown away, good transition would be if predator gets his eyes blacked out and when he opens them he sees in red… AND also add option to remove the mask and also see in red optionally

If my mask would be destroyd and my perception of the game would change to what we have seen at the end of Predatror… I would switch of the game XD I love predator, I’m a hard core fan, but his natural vision on earth makes him almost blind.

Yeah, you are right.

Well the red vision would probably look similar to the red layout when you are in lobby as predator

I can dig it.

I’ll be honest, having a more accurate Vision Mode, as in movies and 87, would be very confusing in the context of a Video Game, where clarity of every little thing is undoubtedly important. Ghost Recon went full throwback for their DLC with Movie Accurate Vison, and while cool, it’s frankly jarring to use after a while.

Well, i wouldnt say bring back actual movie one from 87’ lol… more like better colored one and have animated audio bar on side with sync on all audio in game + Would be cool to be able to change old to modern HUD od different huds from more movies n such…
