Aliens: Dark Descent

Fireteam Elite is in 2202.

Ohh, so even further in the timeline. Thanks!

And nobody remembers the Alien-Earth War that just recently happened

[BlueMarsalis79]

Because it did not.

I'm sure Romulus will somehow contradict every single game/book/comic that anyone still considers canon anyway.

I think what's canon is ultimately dependent on what franchise holders authorize for release, including in novels, comic books, and games.

You should ignore what they say and decide what you want to be canon based on what gives you the most enjoyment.

Franchise holders decide what gets put in these works. Given that, the only way to ignore them and decide what you want is to create fan fiction in different media and release them for non-commercial use, with the hope that you won't get shut down.

I'm not saying write and publish fan-fiction (although I guess you can do what you want), just that you are not beholden to what some company thinks is or isn't "canon".

[Nukiemorph]

I was just joking because that's been the series tradition.

Alien 3, Resurrection, Prometheus, AND Covenant all managed to throw wrenches into the extended universe.

[Wweyland]

Maybe they will introduce the "Multiverse" with alternate timelines.
Time-traveling Predators (or Engineers), etc.

[BlueMarsalis79]

I'm good, we've had enough of that stuff, bad enough hypothetical alone teased in The Predator.

[BigChapismyBestFriend]

that will be too much of a stretch even for me, beside other than Godzilla, I think we have enough of that stuff.

Some will argue something is canon and some will argue otherwise, but what will be released and shown is what's approved by those who own the IP. Meanwhile, the latter can choose to go against those, too.

Well I mean sure, the IP holders can decide what is or isn't "officially canon" whenever they want, my point is that you shouldn't care what they say and should do what makes you happy. They can't "force" you to believe something is or isn't canon.

Okay so I think I'm stuck, I'm in Dead Hills and I'm supposed to find a bunch of cameras (marked on my map) and use them to find the source of the infestation or something? Where are these cameras and how do I interact with them? I'm going to each point in the map but I have no idea what to do and I don't see anything to interact with.
