Meh. A proper triple A game would've been so much better

Papi ..

 

[Gonzito]

Papi ..

I know papi, I am not a fan a 2d pixel art games, I love the movie and I wish we could get a proper terminator game with modern graphics. The Robocop team made a decent game but I wasn't a big fan of it either

 

[Chuck Berry]

As long as it's easier than the NES game

I can understand the "not liking 2d pixel art" thing. I'm just happy to see them make a new game about Terminator 2. I can't remember the last time such a thing happened. I mean, we've seen stuff with older IPs of course. But not so much an older IP and a game that's based on the movie beat for beat.

You didn't like Rogue City?! Ah man, that sucks. I legitimately feel like it's the best Robocop game, period. Did you try their Terminator game? If you haven't, I suggest you do. But if you did and you don't like it either, I guess I can't say I'm too surprised. I honestly thought they knocked both IPs out of the park, especially with a less than AAA budget.

There IS that new Terminator: Survivors game that's still supposed to be coming out. But, who knows what's going on with that? I feel like it's been put on ice as they haven't said anything about it in awhile.

 

[Hookshot]

Misread that as Bitmap Brothers for a second. Got very confused.

Select-able difficulty options so there's already that

I'm sure we've been over this before, but you didn't like Terminator Resistance?

 

[Raven117]

I think it looks like fun

 

[Neff]

Looks cool but seeing Sarah and the T-800 mowing guys down with giant splats of blood is kind of a shocker

 

[nkarafo]

I thought the T-800 isn't allowed to kill people?

 

[Bitstream]

Shaping up pretty nicely so far. Really needs a CRT filter though.

 

[Gonzito]

I thought it was a bit low budget in some areas. Not bad game, decent, but I enjoyed much more Robocop personally.

 

[Davevil]

only 15 levels ? what year is it?

 

[adamsapple]

Chuck Berry

Easy mode allows for infinite continues

It has one, they show it in the video.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm keeping expectations pretty low. I'm sure it'll still be fun though and I'll undoubtedly get it eventually.

 

[Business]

Shame they don't seem to have Arnold's likeness. Either way I'm in.

 

[clarky]

Meh. A proper triple A game would've been so much better.

A seven course degustation menu would be better than a tasty burger, but sometimes I just want a tasty burger.

 

[John Bilbo]

A variety of different modes sounds good.

Does it have the same release date as Mina the Hollower?

 

[Sticks]

2D is back! Fuck Donke Kong

 

[adamsapple]

A variety of different modes sounds good.

Does it have the same release date as Mina the Hollower?

October 31st, yes.

It was going to release in September but they delayed it to October a few weeks ago.

 

[Punished Miku]

Hasta la vista baby

 

[John Bilbo]

That's a shame. I hope to pick them both up as soon as possible!

 

[Kacho]

All in on this. Looks great.

 

[RoboCain]

You can play Huntdown in the meantime, looks kinda similar.

 

[John Bilbo]

Huntdown is pretty fun. It's a run and gun shooter with melee attacks and a cover mechanic.

 

[IAmRei]

tbh, I need more game like this
NG ragebound, shinobi, gi joe, TMNT, wow, are we back at the 90s? I'm happy!
I don't have to play for now sadly : /

 

[MacReady13]

One of my most anticipated games of the year. Fuck your triple A, $300 million games; this is where it's at!

 

[Dr Bass]

Iim so disappointed this got delayed. But I'll still grab it if it turns out good, of course.

 

[LoveCake]

I'm hyped for this.

If you want a Terminator fix in the meantime then Terminator: Resistance is cheap to pick-up now and it's a great game imo.

 

[Ristifer]

Pumped for this one. Don't really need to see anything else at this point.

 

[ssringo]

The movement to animation ratio/balance look off to me and I can't unsee it. Like the character is moving way too far for the animation cycle.

 

[RavageX]

Looks good to me. Having said that, I don't really care to play these (2d side scrollers) anymore. That was my 90s kid thing.

That means, I expect to have full on VR or realistic looking things these days.

 

[adamsapple]

I'm hyped for this.

The fact that this game has an average critic score of 57 is a tragedy. It deserves so much better.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Can't wait. I need closure from the horrible NES game.

 

[dragonyeuw]

One of my most anticipated games of the year. Fuck your triple A, $300 million games; this is where it's at!

Yep, said a few times that my most anticipated purchases this year are T2 No fate, Ninja Gaiden Scalebound, and Marvel Cosmic Invasion.

 

[dragonyeuw]

Played through that last summer, amazing experience especially if you're a fan of T1/T2 and can soak in the associated iconography.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Getting serious nostalgia here



And the way the missiles come in remind me of the Arcade game



Honestly can't wait for this

 

[xrnzaaas]

No Arnie? It's a shame, I would imagine that adding his (heavily pixelated) face wouldn't cost a ton of money.

 

[RCX]

Please don't make it insanely difficult.

For reference: my old man reflexes cant play Contra 3 anymore without dying every 10 seconds.

 

[dragonyeuw]

I'd imagine Arnie's likeness still costs enough to be a consideration for a smaller publisher.

 

[RAIDEN1]

I'd imagine Arnie's likeness still costs enough to be a consideration for a smaller publisher.

Hence why you never see an actual like-ness of him in all the clips released, and they end up having to use the skeleton version of his face instead....so it isn't quite the authentic experience it could be for a T2 game...

[CGNoire]

Yeah somethings wrong about there proportions too :/
Like there anatomy is a little wack.

 

[CGNoire]

For me its not reflexes its arthritis.

 

[SJRB]

This looks sick.

Whatever happened to that Terminator open world survival game?

 

[RCX]

For me its not reflexes its arthritis.

That sucks dude. It's an idle fear of mine that arthritis will creep up on me and impact gaming (among other more important stuff). Hope you're finding a way to keep it under control

 

[John Bilbo]

This looks sick.

Whatever happened to that Terminator open world survival game?

It releases after Judgement Day.
