Possible gaming opportunities from Alien: Covenant

I think Creative Assembly proved the could do a Alien game and if Fox hands an Alien: Covenant project to them i'm more than willing to give it a look.    

I think it depends what kind of movie it becomes, that would allow for options for a Game.... but then we could see a number of spin offs or types of game.

I would think a Survival Horror Type would be great but one with more Aliens than Isolation and one where you could kill them... but a movie that weapons are not as readily available as in some of the games before.

I am not sure. Alien: Isolation was wonderful and I would almost definitely buy any future Alien related game for consoles, but the games can be hit and miss with this franchise. I still want an Alien: Isolation sequel, although the style of game kind of makes it a dead end to me (the creative minds behind it would really have to find an interesting way to take the horror survival and mix in something story wise to change the narrative a bit and keep things fresh.) 

But I do think that the Alien franchise might be able to reward fox monetarily if it is used more in the gaming arena. Mobile games would be pretty cool. Definitely more well done console games. Another attempt at an Aliens type game or AVP would probably be the most successful and if done right, most fun. Alien: Isolation was a great demonstration of what putting a lot of money and effort into the horror element of the genre can do. Still, it wasn't as successful as the company wanted (even though it did pretty well) because it falls into a niche. Alien isn't super duper universally loved and known as Star Wars or something. 

So yes, I agree that Alien: Isolation can be the kicking off point of fox making a real foray into the gaming world with the Alien franchise.

Yes i think Alien: Isolation was a good game, but a similar game based on Alien Covenant would depend on how the movie goes.

I think a game that is similar but has a bit more action but is not a total action game could be ideal. One with limited Weapons and Ammo that pits the player to use them sparsely and maybe also have the player have to think about when and wear to use a Weapon.

i.e a Weapon that is limited when pitted against 2-3 Aliens could take the one out, but then would alert others.  And in other areas maybe the use of a Weapon could lead to Acid Blood in a area that could have consequences.

I'll be a little bit heartbroken if we don't eventually get a sequel to Isolation.  It's not just my favourite Alien game, it's one of my favourite games of all time.  Part of me suspects that there were already ideas for what happens next in Amanda's story.  There's no way that the game's creators would end it that way if they didn't have some idea who was in that ship...

They already confirmed a sequel to Isolation developed by Creative Assembly. Hopefully it would have a better reception. Killable aliens would be nice tho haha.

@aliendejoe, do you have a link to an article or anything with the confirmation? I know the team that worked on it really want to do the sequel (and they kick around tons of ideas about it), but I haven't seen anything about confirming the sequel. Haha I want to though.
