Last week's developer debate was one of the largest discussions we've ever had. The pros and cons of Valve versus id Software were bounced back and forth for a full week and both sides received large amounts of support. It was a blast reading everyone's opinions, but unfortunately only one side can win each week. Here are the results:
- id: 43 votes
- Valve: 87 votes -- winner!
This week I want to take a break from the game developer debates that require lots of logic and thought, and instead keep it simple. When I went to pop in BioShock earlier this week, I turned on the television to see that the Silent Hill movie was on, and it just happened to be at the part where the church steps got covered in a coat of skin and blood. With the BioShock game case in my right hand, I held it up to the TV screen on my left, and it looked similar to the image you see above.
I thought to myself, "Damn, if Pyramid Head was flying on a plane . . . with a six foot blade in his luggage, and he just happened to randomly crash land into a secluded underwater city filled with scuba divers from hell, which one of these badasses would win in a fight to the death? Totally plausible." I've got an idea of who I think would win in a fair fight, but I want to hear what everyone else thinks. Would Pyramid Head cut his fathom-high foe in half with one slice and slowly skull-love him in each of his ten eyes, or would the Big Daddy drill a hole right through the head of the sinister skin-skirted little sister stalker.
Help me crown one of these two beasts as the best bad guy of them all, despite the fact that neither could fashionably wear the head trophy. Who would win in a fight, and why? Cast your votes, give us a reason for your decision, get some friends to give their opinions, and check back next week for the winner.
Bonus: if one of you awesome artists out there can skillfully illustrate one of the two enemies above killing the other, then I'll be happy to post your art as next week's picture, regardless of whether it matches the winning votes or not.

ARGH......Big Daddy....it was close.
also his weapon may aswell be a can opener to the big daddy lol
Anyway, keep Pyramid Head away from the Little Sisters. Really, we don't need that...
technically, if PH got ahold of a hypnosis plasmid, it would be all over, and little sisters would never be safe again. however, if big daddy was ever actually losing the battle, he could just blow open the glass windows and drown the egyptian fucker. so i don't see how big daddy could lose, unless PH cut off BD's legs, and the scuba beast fell down face first.
my vote = BIG DADDY!
i want someone to hack bioshock tho, so we could actually see this fight play out.
Now Pyramid Head, on the h=other hand, when you run into him, one swipe means death. Even when he stands still the first time you see him behind bars he freaks me out.
But not tonight, it's bed time.
Tomorrows?
And I vote for Pyramid Head.
Make that art...lately
Sorry for the word fail.
So Pyramid head it is.
While Pyramid Head provokes a stronger reaction, James was human and did not exhibit abilities to weld plasmids which made Pyramid Head all the more terrifying.
Yes, Pyramid Head is faster then a Big Daddy- but so are Splicers (and you know how that turns out).
Besides, if we're going by game mechanics then the Big Daddy just has to have enough time pass before getting a Little Sister that something will my Pyramid Head go away.
Well, big daddies are just guys in big metal suits, admittedly they have some hefty weaponry but Pyramid Head is a being of pure malevolence and torture that rapes mannequins... hmmmmmm
Game set match Pyramid head
Pyramid Head FTW!
1) Big Daddy is a bad ass with a drill for an arm, and hes wearing a fucking diver suit.
2) Big Daddy can charge and run over you like a freight train.
3) Big Daddy is Big
1) Pyramid Head rapes torso legs.
2) Pyramid Head wears 80's modern art style trash can on his head.
3) Pyramid Head has a big ass sword.
Sorry for the comment spam, thanks Fronz.
if so, it's not even a contest
gah.....I think Big Daddy would win. Pyramid Head has a big weapon to drag around and he was never fast. Big Daddy could slam him quickly.
I think I'm going to have to go with Pyramid Head, but NOT because of the Silent Hill game, but the movie. I mean come on, he rips a chick's entire epidermis off, tits-first.
