RoboCop: Rogue City - new game from Terminator: Resistance devs

[Alienman]

The skeleton guy hit me hard as a kid. Just his existence in that state and his following suffering got to me. Always wondered what kind of horror they did to the guy.

Same, and also that scene where Cain kills his girlfriend, although when i rewatched it in recent years the entire movie felt way goofier than what i remembered as a kid.

The scene where he cuts up that corrupt officer...
Brutal.

Played the demo and got to a point that a mine or something blows up under you and your screen glitches out.

Then the game crashed.

10/10 for immersion.

More gameplay, less "story" shit.

There was a playable demo available just the other week. Plenty of gameplay footage online if you search for it.

Story trailers are cringe.
It almost felt like a Far Cry game for a minute there.

Hey it looks like we will get at least one of the failed experiments from Robocop 2

Hopefully we will get the other one too for some extra lulz



PS Oh and Cain's Robocop 2 is in, there is a line in the trailer "I believe you've met my brother before",I wonder if Cain's brother is the main villain in this one

They couldn't even use the RoboCop theme in that "story" trailer the fuck is this shit lol.

What's the point of trying to recreate everything from the original RocoCop movies if you can't take the zoomer out of the zoomer devs?

Good game, just finished my first run on Normal after about 20-25 hours. Review embargo ends on the 31st.

There's some jank here and there, mainly in the character models and, for the most part, rather simplistic enemy combat AI, but the atmosphere, sarcastic humor and overall tone is 100% SPOT ON.

how is the difficulty ramped up - special enemies and increasing use of explosives?

Is it better than Terminator Resistance?

There's Easy, Normal, Hard and Extreme. As far as I can tell, difficulty mainly affects how much damage enemies do to you, they do not become bulletsponges (one headshot will always kill most early-mid game creeps) or use better tactics. But even this might prove a serious challenge against powerful enemies like the ED-209, which can pretty much maul you even on Normal.

Is it better than Terminator Resistance?

They are similar (using the same engine and all) but their gameplay philosophies are rather different since in Resistance you have to sneak around and survive in machine post-apocalypse while in Rogue City you are almost like a terminator yourself from the start. I'd say that both pay full respect to their respective franchises.

Well as someone who saw the original in the cinema back in the 80s (also Predator on the same glorious day!), I'm going to take the plunge and give this a shot given all the reviews are that it's true to the source material and a nostalgia fest. The AI looks braindead but I'm liking the non action elements where you get to choose between being Judge Dredd or a pinko liberal when disseminating justice (no guesses what I'll be going for...).

 

[Cyberarmy]

Same here, already bought and waiting is release. I really liked their Terminator game so gave them a chance with this one too.

 

[Multidirectional]

That Terminator game was boring crap I uninstalled after an hour so I have a really hard time believing they made a good game now.

Waiting for impressions then. I hope it's good.

Eurogamer reviewer angry that Robocop isn't virtual signalling and screaming ACAB during the game. Reviewers seems angry as well that there's no SJW shit in the game

Eurogamer Review

The game's adherence to the structure and ideas of the original films also has some unfortunate ramifications. For example, the portrayal of Detroit PD as honest, hardworking blue-collar workers struggling against budget constraints sits a lot less comfortably in 2023, when we know US police budgets are vastly overinflated compared to other public sectors, and that issues like corruption and racism are endemic within policing in a way that has little to do with corporate ownership.

To be clear, I'm not saying RoboCop should be wandering around Detroit shouting ACAB. Rather, in its strive to mimic the anti-corporate satire of the film, Rogue City misses an opportunity to ask other, more pertinent questions, like how does a cop programmed to follow the letter of the law fit within a policing system that itself often doesn't?

Why would they be true to the IP they're using???

Game reviewers should all be retroactively aborted.
