Xeno vs Xeno

I feel like Xeno vs xeno would effectively wipe out the horror credibility of the Xenos just like it did against Predators in AVP..

The xeno from the AC trailer is how I prefer its impersonation; partly invisible in the darkness, coming out of shadows to attack their prey.

The more visible they are, the less scary they appear. 

It will be interesting if they have the Neomorph go at it with the Protomorph. The proto looked huge in the trailer.

Or hopefully will see an Engineer go at it as well. 

Self correction-

I stated the killed Xeno appeared to have no arms. An arm can be seen at 58 seconds into the video link from above.

I think also you can see it's arms aftet it's been killed when Gediman and that poor marine go in there.

Neomorph, however I DO think we will see the Neomorphs in full lighting, so as to catch a glimpse of the new beastie 

426, not sure about full lighting but I get what ur saying. to me, the whole horror impact in alien came from the fact we only got slight glimpses of the creature and if we start getting relatively long shots of the neo in full lighting it may take some of the fear factor away from it no? we do say awe I wish I couldv gotten a better look at the alien but once uv actually seen it doesn't it take some of the wonder and horror away from it? u never see what the xeno does in alien and that had the desired effect, ridley let ur imagination terrify u. maybe a wee 2 second glimpse in moderate lighting would do the trick and let the neo maintain some intrigue?

It is interesting that the Alien wasn't seen very much due to looking too much like a man in a suit- the less is more worked to great effect in the end.

Today we can see things in great detail but it can take away from the fear factor. Hopefully RS will go the less is more route- even though part of me wants to see the whole creatures.

That's possible indeed, and it would be damn impressive to pull off a scary xeno scene in full lighting instead of the usual safe and proven choice of darkness or overused cliché flickering lights.

@ali81

I agree with everything you said 

Its been seen in AR.....

I am not sure if there is much point...  i think maybe yes TWO different Xeno species could fight if they are together and the only way i would see this work would be if a Neomorph vs Protomorph (if thats correct term) would allow for Daniels etc to escape...

But then surely mean the Neomorph loses and then have to ask how does the Protomorph then get on-board if Daniels escapes... unless the Neomorph is on-board  prior to Protomorph Chest Buster....

But then how does the crew stay calm enough to allow TWO to make out in a Shower with Two Monsters on-board.

So i dont think we would see any such action...

As far as a Traditional Xeno.... or Protomorph vs each other i would assume they would not fight unless they are from TWO Separate Colonies like Ants..

Neomorph vs Neomorph i think i could see as they fight for Food...
