Why no first person shooter for Alien games?

No, the last fps alien game was Alien Isolation. we didn't get any fps alien games almost 9 years.
I wonder why game devs don't make fps alien games anymore

Probably because they feel old and tired. We've had more fps than any other genre. Besides, Acm failed. Isolation wasn't even really a shooter, though the perspective was first person. When it worked, it was more Avp.

Frankly, I'm tired of them trying fps, because they can never seem to get it right. Aliens are too fast as it is. There's no way to do it without it seeming like "Aliens." it's been 35 years. It's time to leave it behind. I think the reason Isolation succeeded was because it was different and didn't rely on fighting the aliens so much.

Now if they want to try something that's actually new by building on Aliens it would be to do something like Berserker. Aliens just isn't a very good action game on its own, and is better in the horror/suspense genres. Hoping to fight them large scale if you aren't a predator or something seems hopeless.

We nedd AVP2 from monolith remake that it. With same alien mechanic also not the avp one

Hopefully an over the shoulder mod is made. Top down games suck.

Top down games are the best, can't wait. Very glad it's not an fps, finally something different

AvP was great.
I'd be all for AvP2, basically the same game but on Unreal and with better netcode so multiplayer actually works without having hitboxes all over the place.

I'm kinda happy that they are thinking outside the box and finally releasing a game which isn't an FPS.
The alien games you have out there are ALL fps games. (okay, fireteam elite is TPS. But that's almost the same)
Why a new one again?

[Narrowmind]

Agreed.

Best time to release a new Alien FPS would be along the new movie that's coming out.
If they don't, I wouldn't expect any Alien FPS in the future.
