How is it considered canon? did Ridley Scott say it was canon, or is it just a game thet fans say is canon? Who said it was an official sequel? Is there actually something that makes it canon? Not being an ass-hat, just wondering.
Developers on the game said several times in interviews that after acquiring the licensing for the game that it would be considered an official sequel (in game form) to Aliens.
The same was said about Ghostbusters the video game. (Which was also awesome)
There was also the fact that they were given access to Prometheus concepts, among other things. I don't think the film developers would give two shits about whether or not they portrayed Engineers/the Derelict correctly if ACM wasn't canon.
Ok, I just kept hearing people saying it was canon while not stating a source, so thanks.
Also i think AVP should be consider canon, just in an alternate universe.
Alright, I don't know what the sentence above means, but based on what we've learned from the new movie about how the xenomorphs procreate, I would like to say that CH what the fuck were you thinking
