20th Century Fox has recently trademarked Alien: Isolation. The trademark covers products such as videogame software, music and other types of multimedia content. According to Kotaku:
“The next video game in the world of Aliens will star the daughter of superstar space officer Ellen Ripley, according to a Kotaku source. The game is called Alien: Isolation, and we hear it will be on both current- and next-gen consoles next year.”
“The protagonist of Alien: Isolation is Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley, (…) You, as Amanda, spend most if not all of the game on a single space station, according to our source. There’s only one alien for “most” of the game, our source said; you’ll mostly be shooting through “clones and soldiers.” Vents, lockers, and melee weapons are a big part of Isolation, our source said, and the game is heavily inspired by the first Alien movie.“
Or maybe im reading too much into it.
F'ing seriously first a book about the adventures of Ripley between Alien and Aliens? Now her daughter fights aliens too. why the frick can't they just let Ripley go, she should have been done after alien 3.
Is it that hard to come up with new characters and scenarios for this series. This is getting to be like a bad soap opera! Oh now Hicks isn't dead? What's next is Newt going to be cloned and fight more aliens, mostly. Maybe Ripley can be pregnant with Burks child and it can fight xenos. Maybe Bishop is in a coma and wakes up to fight xenos.
God please stop them this used to be a serious franchise. Well at least until Foxed F'ed up AR.
I love this series, but dwelling on the past will only damage it's credibility more. Move on Fox try something new.
Now im just waiting for aliens vs predator 4 for pc.
Also im sick of playing alien games CoD style.. the only way i can see fighting human or human like entities is if its survival horror.

But anyways, yeah I'm slightly discouraged by this news. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Oh, and expect the worst and maybe they'll surprise us.
this sounds great;but then,

Console Creative Lead Al Hope at CA answers question abut current project:
Can you tell us a bit about the console team and what you are working on?
We're working on a new game based on the ALIEN IP. Our ambitions for the game are very high and that comes back to our passion for delivering quality. To some extent it could be said we're going against the grain, we aiming for a truly triple A experience, something only a handful of developers in the UK are still attempting. We believe that we're creating something that will really capture people's imagination immediately. Certainly when we've shown new team members the game the reaction on their faces shows we're on to something. I genuinely can't wait to announce what we're up to.
