Looks absolutely incredible. So much detail, love and passion for the franchise evident, and gameplay looks fun.

It’s interesting to think that back in the day, would it have been possible to develop this game on, say, Neo-Geo? In other words, is this the accumulation of developer expertise over the decades, or technical capabilities?
I’m wondering myself if, say, Konami could have done something akin to this in the ‘90s if only Ocean and LJN didn’t snatch all the big movie licenses only to shit out half a dozen games for half a dozen systems with a two-month development time.
I guess we’ll never know. But for sure, devs today can build upon decades of expertise. Also, many of them probably had one or two Christmases ruined by abysmal tie-in games and have every intention of showing the world how things should have been done back then.

Looks unbelievable! Sad that in this day of 3d gaming and 5090 GPU's that this has now shot to the top of my most wanted game this year...

It's not sad.

It's a CELEBRATION! 🥂 We need more games like these that harken back to the 16bit/32 bit eras. 🕹️🎮 I'd love to see a renaissance of them and hopefully
this will be successful enough to get developers to take notice.

In *theory* these games should have quicker development times, cheaper development costs and run on a WIDE range of home consoles and pc
configurations. I really think more games like this are needed right now to help settle down the current industry volatility.

Day 1 purchase.

I love the movie but why not doing a proper videogames with good graphics instead of this retro thing? I cant get excited for a 2d pixel art game even if its about Terminator
“A proper video game”

What the actual hell are you babbling about? Graphics don’t make a “proper video game”, gameplay does.
 
It does beg the question, why make it pixel art? why not make it 16 bit style side scrolling gameplay but with modern visuals that hold up on a flat screen?
