Aliens/Alien Resurrection etc Androids

I was just wondering if it would be possible for androids from the aliens franchise to be brought in as survivor legendaries for Ripley someday? Such as Bishop or Analee Call.

They would certainly stand out among other survivors and would probably have some lore/gameplay complications such as:

  • Their synthetic blood and insides are white
  • They are usualy faster/stronger than human (but we alredy have Alucard)
  • They are not technically alive and their emotions are programmed
  • They can withstand fatal damage compared to humans and can still survive with nothing but their head intact

But ive always found them to be some of the most interesting characters in the Aliens franchise and usually end up quite likeable. So i was wondering what the devs take is on this or has it been discussed alredy with disney that it can or can't happen?

    Might conflict with the lore (ie the entity can't feed off them) but i wouldn't be adverse to

    Perhaps the entity can do something to make it possible to feed off them? It seems almost capable of anything like reconstructing/ressurecting people after theyve been killed, creating entire worlds for its victims to run around in and interact with, limmiting the power of practical gods (vecna),capturing people/beings from any timeline or place in the universe, recreating Victor and Snug as lifelike as their former selves. I don't doubt it could probably do something to make them feel emotions lol

    The white blood would be huge downside as most maps are dark it would be way easier to see the blood in them. Still its up to the user if they want the downside and as other said here its not really lore friendly as they can't feel. Of course there is the later models that have feelings but still I don't think they still give anything to the entity to feed on.

    Which brings me to another question of why the entity brought in the singularity that doesnt feel, or the xenomorph whos shown nothing but predatory or maternal instinct let alone emotion. So how does it feed off them? Its like he brings them in specificly to feed off the killers victims. And likewise the killers with feeling ls hunting down the androids would feed the entitily with their emotions. Much like of terminator were ever added.

    Well they at least provide the feelings by being the hunters causing the pain to the survivors. Survivor androids would not provide anything as they don't feel anything and they don't cause emotions or maybe you could argue they could annoy killers but it still would be minor compared to the amount of feelings killers can cause.

    Well there is proof that the entity does feed off the killers emotions along with the survivors when it comes to the halloween outfit for the plague as those blue glowing versions are supposed to be characters that were drained to a point of almost becoming those "hollow" things themselves. So it doesn't seem to need everything it brings in to feel emotions as it feeds off whatever the emotionless things interact with. And killers give more emotions than just being annoyed by the survivors.

    The androids also wouldnt just be effecting the killers emotions as their survivor partners have emotions towards them as well, like itd probably be a morale boost having an android on the team lol

    I have to state this here did you read what I wrote? I clearly stated that only thing the entity would get from android survivor would be the feelings it might cause to the killer. So don't know why you are saying the same thing to me as response. It still is not comparable to a killer robot as it literally is causing suffering to the survivors causing emotions even if it itself don't feel nothing really. Still you also might have point of other survivors feeling something to have an android on their side but in the end would it not be more beneficial to have a real human who can give you food as I don't think one android will anyway benefit more than flesh and blood human as even they are causing emotions in killers.

    Sorry, misread your answer as if it meant the survivors only annoy the killers and the survivors provide most of the emotions lol im just trying to state that the entity doesnt seem to mind if the odd 1 doesnt provide anything to feed off of directly so im guessing it would go both ways. For example the entity allowing a killer to mori someone instead of sacrifice is still somewhat feeding the entity with the killer's emotions. They could just as easily feel the thrill of hunting an android or hatred towards it.
