Will always have a place in my heart


I will have to accept this as "non-canon" but I simply won't. I still enjoyed the story with Lisbeth Hutchins & Christopher Winter who joined Hicks thoughout his Xeno crisis. Soon be back to Hicks & Newt & Ripley with Neill Blomkamp future feature presentation.

I doubt that Alien 5 will end up being an alternate Alien 3. But, as far as I'm concerned, canon is the eye of the beholder. Or something.

Thit and thpin!

This is true. "Canon" for me is as follows, in order of occurrence in the Alien/s universe timeline.

1. Alien
2. Alien: Isolation (Would rather see this as a "prequel movie" than another Prometheus debacle)
3. Aliens
4. First 2 entries in the Dark Horse comic series

Other material

Colonial Marine Corps Technical Manual
The Book of Alien

That's pretty much it.

gotta admit i quite enjoyed both the main campaign and the dlc, especially since in the dlc theres more tasks you have to carry out on your own. Few glitchs here and there but didn't seem to both me.

One thing that puzzled me a little thou. At the end of the main campaign when Hicks shot 'Michael Weyland' and O'neil asked why not keep him alive, hick's response was cause he would kill you any chance he got, that's it's fuction....but in the actual film bishop said the newer models were incapable of harming human beings..sooooo i don't get that?

Hope theres more to come from this and definiately looking forward to blomkamp's new installment.

That Michael Weyland was a special Combat Synthetic model unlike the other Bishops.

Weylan-Yutani was up to enough blatantly illegal *beep* that I don't think they'd have any problems using droids that had Asimov's First Law deleted from their programming.
