This looks cool. Hopefully it will succeed, and we can get a sequel set on Fury 161.
DIS!!!

It was far enough to not have been discovered by accident, but close enough to be destroyed when the AP went up.

It has been awhile since I read the second Aliens, but in the book I believe that Burke had all the info from the Nostromo, but had hidden it to turn a profit. How else would Burke of known to send them, and the right place on LV-426. I will give it a try..I have played them all from the first one on the PS1...it will be interesting. Its a first only having one enemy, and having to rely smarts rather than fire power in this type of game. I am looking forward to it.

Burk didn't have all the info on the Nostromo, it was lost.

Does it say that they're actively searching for it?
QuotePlus if it simply gets ejected in to space and its a simple box with no propulsion or stabilization most likely it would get caught in a gravity field and crash land to some planet just like the EEV from Alien3.
After a few millennia perhaps. But there's no planets or stars near where the Nostromo exploded.

It could be just for the shuttle, and Ripley was expecting the events at the end of the first film to show the company that there was an alien on board the shuttle, which would lend some credibility to the rest of her story.

I may have not seen the movie in a while so correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think they have the flight recorder until AFTER Ripley gets rescued after 50 some years of sleep. The game takes place in the 15 years after the first movie, not taking place during the same time as ALIENS, or even close to it.

- Jan 09, 2014, 06:56:20 AMSafe to say based on the Sulaco's EEV flight recorder system all escape vehicles, shuttles etc... have they're own dedicated recorders but the information is shared. So if they have data from the shuttle's recorder, why bother spending time searching for the ship's master recorder, that contains the same data. Plus if it simply gets ejected in to space and its a simple box with no propulsion or stabilization most likely it would get caught in a gravity field and crash land to some planet just like the EEV from Alien3.

The idea of the black box being jettisoned out of the ship before self destruction sounds logical, like standard protocol to keep some sort of record that might indicate why a ship would be set to self-destruct. But I can't help but be irked by the question of why it wouldn't be brought up at Ripley's inquiry meeting in Aliens.
I really hope they do not make a lot of plot holes. So much potential for a great in-canon storyline, in addition to a great game.
Really? When was your last viewing of the movie Aliens?
from the board of inquiry scene:
-VAN LEUWEN
The shuttle's flight recorder
corroborates some elements of
your account. That the Nostromo
set down on LV-426, an unsurveyed
planet, at that time. That
repairs were made. That it resumed
its course and was subsequently set
for self-destruct. By you. For
reasons unknown.
