In the time since Isolation, there have been several traditional games drop for the franchise, and although I'm aware you're talking about videogames, it's worth pointing out that there's been AvP by Prodos Games, the newly released Aliens boardgame from GFNine that they can't keep on the shelves because it's so popular, and the fantastic RPG by Fria Ligan that sells out entire print runs faster than they can keep up with.
Not to mention the deck building games and probably a few others I'm forgetting.
Alien and AvP gaming is by no means dead, it just seems to be taking a holiday on the tabletop side of things at the minute.

The closest thing I can think of that emulates what you described is AvP2's Survivor mode and AvP 2010's Infestation mode, which were my favorite game modes to play. As for single-player, I really enjoyed AvP 2010's marine campaign since Rebellion did a good job imo with establishing a tense and suspenseful atmosphere with their excellent use of lighting and great sound design. Plus, the Alien's AI was surprisingly good too as they would often try to sneak up on the player and avoid gunfire. Anyway, the prospect of Rebellion, or whoever decides to take up the task of making another game, continuing to improve on this formula is something that I'm very eager to see. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for a new game to release.Quote from: PraetorianX101 on Dec 31, 2020, 07:42:58 PMQuote from: Kailem on Dec 31, 2020, 06:30:47 PMThat's true. We've been quite fortunate to get as many games as we have. It's just that replaying the games has reignited my desire for more games set in this universe. FPS, Survival Horror, or even Strategy games, like AvP: Extinction (which I really loved)... there's so much potential, so I guess I'm just a little disappointed that there isn't more being done with the franchise videogame-wise that is of the same level of quality as Isolation.
To be honest I feel like Alien and Predator have been luckier than most in terms of at least having a couple of games made somewhat recently with at least one more on the way. That's a lot more than many other things have had over the past decade.
Oh yeah, for sure I'd love another AVP to be announced sooner rather than later as well. I still feel like the concept hasn't been done to its full potential in the multiplayer front. As much as AVP2's was fun back in the day, it was still basically just an arena shooter with Aliens and Predators. I'd like something more slow-paced and tension-focused, like Rainbow Six Siege or Counter-Strike where the match plays out over a number of rounds with each player only having one life per round, so it makes things naturally "scarier."
Obviously something with another great single-player campaign would be awesome too, but either way I'd be very happy if we ever did get another one, whatever form it might take.
