I've been wondering lately about the Engineers and their mastery of genetics. Could they have made the Predator race as well. Science would say aliens would never look like us, but they've been wrong before. Considered the overall Humanoid look of Predators I'd like to think that they're connected through common ancestry.

Within the framework of the 'Alien' universe, it's anyone's guess. But if ya ask me...

Both the Engineers and the Predators are very far advanced in technology. However, one race is a bunch of "ugly muthafukkas," and the other looks like us, because they made us. So, I would think that the Predators evolved completely separate from the Engineers, and are not common ancestors. Sure, they share the humanoid appearance (two arms and two legs), but Predators appear more reptilian than mammal.

I finally got around to seeing it...it was..okay

From Xenopedia's Colonial Marines game page:

Gearbox has stated that they were invited to speak with Ridley Scott and view the script for his "Alien Prequel" Prometheus, insinuating that there may be connections or references to the events of Prometheus in Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Hopefully we'll get some new information on events from the film or even general background stuff. Probably not film level canon but better than nothing.

It just wanted a hug.
