Riddle me this oh Furry one: Why would an alien race that predominantly sees in the thermal spectrum, and not our ‘optical’ spectrum, bother to paint things in ‘colors’!
That’s why in the movies all the armor is in natural metallic finishes!
They’re not something I’d likely bother with. I don’t even use the vocal wheel on Pred as I customized my controls for easier weapon selection and had to sacrifice the button to use them for a more useful purpose.
That said, I am aware that young, naive whippersnappers like yourself tend to enjoy them. I think if they’re kept in line with the general feel and mood of the films, then it shouldn’t break the immersion and atmosphere of the game. FT emotes would need to be reflective of things Dutch’s team might have done - for instance, you could have:
• Billy’s Laugh
• Mac shaving with Razor
• Blaine chewing and offering Tobacco
and then perhaps some more generic, gungho gesturing, but definitely no fucked up Fortnite dancing shit!
As for the Pred’s, well he already has the ‘end battle roar pose’, but on top of that:
• The already mentioned, using laser sight to heat up wrist blades
• Similarly, the removal of the mask (with the deliberate, slow finger motions), though I think the emote would need to have him put it back on again quickly or it’s just going to cause game mechanic issues.
• Stroking a skull admiringly
• ‘Pred 2 building pose’ - holding aloft combistick (or other equipped melee weapon)
• Doing some random button pressing on the wrist computer
I certainly don’t want to see a Pred doing Bruce Lee impressions with nunchucks though - that’s goofy as fuck.
