First of all sorry for the topic title,sounds like click bait but i couldn't think of anything better lol.But enough of that,to the point. Lately I've seen a rise in fan demand for Alien Isolation to be turned into a film,Some considering it to be the true sequel to Alien. And starting in 2019 the Alien Isolation brand grows with an Alien Isolation novelization (no word on whether it's an adaptation of the game or not,at least not to my knowledge)as well as Aliens:Resistance which doubles as a sequel to Aliens Defiance as well as Isolation. Isolation is arguably one of the more agreed upon things to bear the name Alien in recent memory.And with the future of Alien on film unknown,would it be a good idea to adapt the game into a movie?What do you think?

Isolation is canon.Difference is Creative assembly wasn't pushing for it to canon as hard as Gearbox with the ill fated Colonial Marines.

But much like DK said canon seems to be really up to you.I consider all six primary films as well as Alien Isolation and Aliens Defiance canon.AVP's aren't canon in my mind.

I have only played Alien Isolation Once and did not get very far, but i roughly know the the Plot.  I think it could work as a Sequel, however you would not be able to have a vast amount of time in a 2 hour movie, committed to Amanda hiding and running away from a Xenomorph.

So it would be the interaction with other Characters in the Plot that would make it work.

Regarding the Queen it appears the sounds are there in a kind of Vague way, that in no way should we assume they are a QUEEN but then also there is NO-WAY we can dismiss the possibility.

The comment by one of the Game Produces concludes the idea was there, and i think the way they handled it was the best way to go...  Because if it was too on the nose then indeed some fans would EXPECT a confrontation....

Leaving it the way it was, means that Fans can debate the existence of a Queen on the Station and so they can Gauge Fans Reactions to determine that IF they produce a Sequel it would be wise to introduce a Queen or leave it out.

Sometimes somethings are best left UNANSWERED and thus left to Imagination/Interpretation.

Regarding the Queen/Egg Morph.

I was always drawn to that a Egg Morph leads to a Xenomorph Queen.  I feel this makes sense, but then with the Deleted Royal Face Hugger Scene maybe this does not add up.

I would thus have to assume that maybe the Egg Morph is likely to be Less-Likely as Canon, than another YET explained Process that leads to a Royal Face Hugger or a Queen Embryo.

Indeed BigDave . At first I didn't think I was hearing a queen, but a replay with the mindset could add a different flavor to the game. After the horde breakout, it seemed impossible not to think of a queen presence.

Ugg the Resident Evil movies were all horrible, including the first movie. They completely rewrote the story, first movie included!

On the other hand, the first 3 Silent Hill games were creepy, nightmarish mind F£cks, but it required actual playing to experience it. The Silent Hill movies fell woefully flat.

Video game movies are difficult it seems.I like the first Resident Evil and first Silent Hill movies,but i'd banish all their sequels.Hell i watched The Assasins Creed movie for the first time today and it was surprisingly good.

Never played or watched Creed. Wasn't Fassbender in the last movie? Yes, I could look it up but I am being lazy.

For Gamers (of which I am not one) I’m sure Isolation is fine. As for myself, I struggled through the dire 7-episode animated digital series and wished I hadn’t bothered. It is terrible. IMHO it doesn’t have a single idea worthy of making into a movie. People you don’t care about running around a space station trying to evade a xenomorph. It’s been done to death already. Keep it as a game. If you’re a movie maker, dream up big new ideas and give every film its own unique flavour.
