You act like not being apart of the regular aliens series is some kind of insult. Like I explained in my post above, its just easier and better for all involved to have 3 separate franchises, no insult to avp.
I suppose you do have a point, it's just a sore topic for me since I was present way back when during the time when canon debates were all the rage and the AVP movies were single-mindedly targeted against all the other movies in the franchise.
I don't know whether this means anything or not, but AVP2010 does acknowledge both the AVP movies and the Alien movies as being part of the same universe by referencing the incident on Acheron (LV-426) and Charles Bishop Weyland.
While on the topic of games, I remember seeing a holographic projection of an Alien while watching the cutscene movie of Aliens: Colonial Marines.
I just thought I'd let you know since you did question how Aliens had no holograms while Prometheus did.
My own explanation was always that Prometheus is the top of the line corporate science vessel while the Nostromo and even the colony are just budget facilities used by blue collar workers. I don't know how much of the Sulaco we see, not much in the film but I'm not sure how much of it we see in the EU or of other Conestoga class ships.
Similar point on the Auriga, we still don't see much of it inside apart from what the main characters encounter. The only one I can think of that is a valid point is the lack of those medical pods, they operated on Ripley by hand whereas Shaw used a medpod to get the Trilobite out of her.
