I meant the franchise, and yeah I'm aware Alien's as similar to Planet of the Vampires, as Geralt's to Elric. But Resident Evil's imitated Alien(s), repeatedly since the beginning, it's really no surprise the recent entry imitated Alien Covenant. And the prequels in general to be honest, you might even say that the horror survival first person whole thing that Biohazard capitalized on, with a persistent monster chasing you? Only exists because of Alien Isolation (& P.T. Silent Hills) in my honest view, and dozens of imitators, like Observer.
Much like the way Doom came so close to being an Alien licensed thing, the franchise once again, failed to capitalise on the initial potential success they created.
Imagine what the Alien franchise might be today, if instead of letting Resident Evil Biohazard steal their thunder, they created a sequel to Isolation right away exploiting The Pathogen to create a similar experience?
Missed opportunity.
