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.
Umm they just did. The content of the black box scroll behind Ripley when she's getting grilled, and the inquest asks her about the context of the actions it recorded.
Same as the Alien grabs Amanda and then uses a literal AvP2010 growl to threaten her.
This game won't be any more authentic or true than any of the other SEGA offerings. It will just look much prettier and grittier.
All respect to Mr. Abnett, his forte is writing about giant aryan ubermensch in giant shoulder pads who shoot all the things and don't not ever lose and stab literal gods themselves in the crotch for great justice in the edgiest egdy grimdarkdarkdark darkness of edgiest grimdarkery made by a company that has a stable of plot so over the top even the creators can't take it seriously with a straight face.
This game is as fanony as any other SEGA offering, it's just being allowed to be marketed as self aware, because of length and breadth of the f**kuppery present in their previous catalog.
