Alien Resurrection
Ripley is resurrected and is now part Xenomorph because having one implanted in her was the cause of her death. She's sort of down with this but also hates that this was done to her and makes sure to crash a USM ship that's become host to a ton of genetically engineered Xenomorph creatures...including a hideous clone of Ripley herself!
Metroid Fusion
Samus is resurrected and is now part Metroid because having one implanted in her was the cause of her near-death. She's sort of down with this but also hates that this was done to her and makes sure to blow up a GF space station that's become host to a ton of genetically engineered Metroid-derived creatures...including a hideous clone of Samus herself!
BUT WHAT'S THIS?!?!?!
Metroid Prime
A prequel where the Metroids aren't the focus at all. Instead, through exploration of the ruins of a long dead empire that spread throughout the galaxy via total mastery of bio-mechanical engineering we piece together both the beliefs of their kind as well as the cause of their downfall. The game ends with a gratuitous appearance of a more primal "Metroid."
Prometheus
A prequel where the Xenomorphs aren't the focus at all. Instead, through exploration of the ruins of a long dead empire that spread throughout the galaxy via total mastery of bio-mechanical engineering we piece together both the beliefs of their kind as well as the cause of their downfall. The film ends with a gratuitous appearance of a more primal "Xenomorph."
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
After a rough almost-crash Samus lands on a once heavily populated world that was devastated by the Ing, protean creatures born out of a black goo that causes the entire planet's ecosystem to change and mutate into a variety of permutations, drastically altering all lifeforms on it. Near the planet's major temple/spiritual center a lone seemingly helpful survivor fills Samus in on the situation. Samus also learns about a previous ship that crash landed on the planet not too long before her arrival, with dire consequences for its human passengers.
Alien: Covenant Act I
After a rough almost-crash the Covenant crew lands on a once heavily populated world that was devastated by the Neomorphs, protean creatures born out of a black goo that causes the entire planet's ecosystem to change and mutate into a variety of permutations, drastically altering all lifeforms on it. Near the planet's major temple/spiritual center a lone seemingly helpful survivor fills them in on the situation. The crew also learns about a previous ship that crash landed on the planet not too long before their arrival, with dire consequences for its human passenger.
