Kinda surprised this wasn't made before.

There are currently quite a lot of new material coming out,

Marvel Alien comics

New Alien TV Show

New Alien movie (Alien Romulus)

Prey 2

Does anyone know if Alien: Dark Descent is canon or not?

Maybe we should add tags to this Thread to make it easier to find.

Is that good?

presumably
all of the newer large scale alien games usually are, unless said otherwise.

I'm asking because that would separate Space-Jockey's from Engineers.

Official Alien: Romulus teaser

 

[Gasper]

I heard that in RPG it's stated that after the Cronus departed, the survivors left stranded on the planet accidentally activated an Engineer technology that caused the nearby red dwarf star, Gliese 685, to collapse on itself and become a black hole.

Does anyone have a full quote?

Romulus was really good, especially after the last one.

If someone makes a page for 6 would we just split her into two keys for her Drone stage and her Queen stage or just have it be "INSERT rating here, higher as a Queen"?

So has anyone thought about calculating those explosions the Plasma Caster makes in the first Predator movie?

 

[Alien_Dual_Blaster]

Just watched Alien Romulus in theaters with my friend this past Sunday and it was such an awesome scary kino movie.

I'd go so far as to say it's my most favorite horror movie of the year and the best one I've seen in recent years since Saw X.

So I wonder how the Offspring would stack up with its fellow Xenomorphs in stats, though too bad we didn't get to see the guy in action for a little longer.

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

So for the video game only characters would we still give them the standard racial abilities they have in the movies/comics? I'm want to put together a Specimen 6 profile but I've never tried to do one for a complicated character like a Xenomorph, plus I have no idea how to make profiles with tabbers.

So from any Aliens experts on this wiki, I would like to know what are Queen Alien's best durability feats in any canon source outside the movies?

Because I recall so many years ago on another board, someone I debated with was downplaying Queen Alien and the Predators while wanking the shit out of action movie heroes like Rambo so badly by claiming that explosive arrows can kill the Queen Xeno in one shot and that the Predator's plasma casters were somehow inferior to Rambo's exploding arrows in energy and power.

Anyone like to weigh in on this?

If you go by the movies then one Queen just outright survived the pyramid exploding in AvP.

Not that I disagree, but is there evidence that the Queen Alien survived the explosion of Scar's Wrist Nuke in the pyramid at ground zero?

Is there any Aliens/Predator expert here who I can defer to for durability feats and proper scaling for the Queen?

 

[Alien_Dual_Blaster]

I mean look at this:

She wasn't in the epicenter of the blast.

But we don't know the extent of the explosion in underground (which Queen buried under to).
