I'd rather have more prequel stuff or a Resurrection sequel than something that overwrites Alien 3.
Given Resurrection doesn't really feature Ripley and that the stage Resurrection set isn't particularly interesting, what would really be the point of continuing from there? That Ripley, for whatever weirdness was going on with her biology, was pretty much content with herself at the end of Resurrection. What little there was in terms of character was already fulfilled in Resurrection.
I'd rather they didn't do anything with Ripley at all, and i'd really like it if they got away from exploring destroying the literal mythos of the Alien by explaining exactly where and when it happened. It doesn't matter where and when it happened. It happened out there in space a long time ago and the result was the worst nightmares of a great many innocent people. Isn't that enough?
If they do make another prequel I want them to bait and switch. "Oh, you thought you knew? HAHAHA. Not. The Alien is so much older, so much further from your understanding then you could ever hope to imagine."

I love Aliens, I really do. But, God, watching it's ending now is like forceably eating sugar spoon by spoon.
"MOMMY", "Can we dream now ?"
f**k off Newt
What is with the hatred for Newt? Jesus Christ.

If they anyway want to continue with Ripley, just use Amanda. But give a bit better story than Isolation as looking for your mother as she might be alive is a false narrative as we already know that only goes one way.
Well, no. There were three posibilities there.
1. Amanda won't find anything.
2. Amanda finds Ripley and the series is dramatically retconned, or the games end up in their own continuity.
3. Amanda finds her mother's message.
The game even threatens us early on with the possibility that Amanda won't find anything when she discovers the flight recorder and it's wiped.
The worst thing Covenant did to the Alien was make it feel like a sideshow in its own film series. That, and basically terrestrialisng the Alien. Prometheus and Covenant are trying to bring it all home and in the worst way possible.
