ROBOCOP: ROGUE CITY is Surprisingly Great (Explored)

- The original "RoboCop," directed by Paul Verhoeven, stands as a titan among action films. Released in 1987, it cleverly combined science fiction, action, and black comedy in a layer of biting social commentary. Verhoeven's vision presented a dystopian Detroit, a city emblematic of urban decay and corporate greed, setting the perfect stage for the story's gritty realism mixed with futuristic fantasy.
The brilliance of "RoboCop" lay in its character development, particularly that of Alex Murphy, portrayed by Peter Weller. Murphy's transformation into RoboCop was not just a physical metamorphosis but also a deeply emotional and existential journey.
Intriguingly positioned in the timeline after "RoboCop 1" and "2" but before the third installment, " Rogue City," harkens back to the glory days when Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop dazzled us with its no-holds-barred violence, razor-sharp one-liners, and eye-popping special effects, all while sneakily slipping in some sharp jabs at corporate culture.
This isn't just another first-person shooter wearing a RoboCop costume. Teyon has managed to capture the essence, the very soul, of the 87 classic. It's not just good; it's the most genuine RoboCop experience we've had since the original series.

Happy to see Robocop making a comeback. Always loved the original movies.
Ditto!
ROGUE CITY Is proof that AA game are perfectly fine in the video game industry. Not need for bloated budgets.
Mid-market video game were routinely better than most AAA titles. Think Sniper Elite, Greedfall, and the Hunt: Showdowns of the world.
@@realhamonwry8620very true
Robocop Rogue city is what Robocop 3 should have been like. It captures pretty much everything and I hope they expand on it more with a sequel
It’s also nice that they ignore that mess of a movie
RoboCop was a big part of my childhood along with Predator, Spawn, and Aliens ❤
I hope w can get a Predator and Alien(s) games like this.
They already did terminator.
I’d love for a predator and aliens game with this feel and detail. Writing. The last twenty years of alien and or predator games haven’t done it. The 2007 (I think) avp game was sick. FPS, gore to the max. But it’s too clunky to play anymore.
I want a modern predator game that’s a full on power trip like this game.
This game is definitely canon in my Robocop fan mind.
Oh i agree!
I'm with you guys this is a masterpiece
Would really surprise me about this game was the side characters. I really became attached to them like I really liked pickles, Samantha Ortiz, Ulysses, Washington, and Olivia Blanche.
Olivia Blanche is my favourite
I was obsessed with Robocop as a kid and loved drawing Cain from Robocop 2 with various modifications, missiles and cannons. This game has some beautiful haunting moments that shouldn’t be missed.
Great video Niyat!! As a fellow nerd, I always thoroughly enjoy your content!! NEVER boring, and more often than not, dispensing a dose of nostalgia that us "Gen-Xers" can't help but LOVE!! 👍💯
Absolutely love this review, and yes fully agree!! They really captured the Robocop essence in every aspect! ♡ It was so sweet when you walked into the media tower and had your first fight, the theme song starting to play. This quickly became my favourite game ^^
I'm so glad that Teyon proved that they can capture the essence of a license they acquire. Anyone who has played their horrible Rambo game from 2014 can let you know how far they have come.
Yeah, Robocop was said to be rated R when it was released in 1987 but the 9-year old me back then was watching it at the balcony of the theater along with my father.
Nice!
You should do more video game reactions and reviews in the new year.
This would be interesting.
Yeah since video game world is massive like movies.
Sounds great Shaine!
Nice to see they captured the essence of the first film.
I was never Interested in this game until watching this video the way you made a sound makes the sound fun
You should definitely give it a go champ!
I'm waiting to buy that for a $1 on steam. Maybe one day, fingers crossed! 🤞😁
lol
I would love to see you do more videos on video games. Like Baulders gate 3, Elden Ring, and many smaller games like Lethal Company. Robocop Rogue City is a welcome homage to the movies.
This game is hands down the *best* video game adaptation. It completes RoboCop 2, sets up RoboCop 3, and gives us a real a real feeling of being *in* Detroit. It's funny to hear it pronounced E.D. 209, when the movie formally calls it "Ed 209".
Alien: Isolation is much better.
And the original film does refer to Ed as "E.D."
Was a good game, Same Devs made Terminator: Resistance. which I'd say is arguably a better game. But captures the whole old school terminator apocalypse as well as this game captures the Robocop universe. I did like how in this game the bad guys could actually shoot but it really doesn't matter lol
The most iconic auto pistol ever put to film
Going through a robo phase atm lol
As this video premieres, Im in the middle of watching a robocop marathon witch is being broadcasted on tv.
Just 100% Platinum’ed this game (which was on sale) recently; this game deserves all the positive praise. The only thing that i can critique is that everytime you have to go into Old Detroit to do the Serve & Protect side objectives, that the city could seem livelier, even if the neighborhood looks bleak & depressing.
And apparently the game is getting a NG+ update in the future so we can see more options open up to us that we couldn’t explore due to a lack of skill points
Just wanted to say I love your content and hope you keep it up, love from Kenya💌 hope one day you take a deep dive into the Lord of the Rings films
Thank you so much!! I definitely will. I actually have a playlist on Lord of the Rings lore you should chek out in the meantime :)
Why this video game was dissected by a movie reviewer? Because it ROCKS!! This game was a true Love Letter to Robocop. So many nods to this iconic character. Great Job!!!
> Robocop, "Dead or alive, you are coming with me."
Mando, "I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold."
Not only can Robocop bend a barrel with just one hand, but that street punk can hold his grip to provide the counterforce needed to. 1:24
That's one strong street punk.
I really like your videos, especially the ones covering fictional pathogens. Speaking of which, could you please do a video on Tiberium from the Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars and Command and/or Dr. Thrax's Toxins from Comand and Conquer Generals respectively? It's fine if you don't, but it would be really interesting to see how you would cover it.
Dope request. 🔥🔥
I'd also follow up with an interest in learning more about the gray death virus from Deus Ex, assuming it hasn't been covered yet and I might be missed it.
Psst. Something something Syndicate Wars virus something something. 😉😂
Love your videos. They don’t get recommended enough!
HOLY F! This was actually good! At first thought, I was like:' Oh, god! Here we go with another dumpster fire!' BUT, just a few moments in, WOW! I'm a 80's kid, I literally grew up with these movies! LOVED the first and second one! Number three though, dumb AF! As a kid, I had the comic books and the trading cards! A wonderful homage to a franchise, actually done RIGHT! Is this game on PS4? I might get it! This franchise has a lot of similarities with Cyberpunk 2077, like this would really fit within that world!
It's only on New Gen consoles
I don't know why CZcams never recommends me this channel. I like it so much. And yes, this game looks pretty good. Pure nostalgic cyberpunk-ish 80s fun with Officer Alex James Murphy
American Robot Jesus lives forever in my heart
This is what Robocop 3 should’ve been
Loved this game. Was great.
GREAT VIDEO PLEASE DO KOH THE FACE STEALER/ the spirit world as a whole specifically Koh, Tui and La (face stealer, ocean and moon spirits) if you do a “spirit world” episode, that trio could provide at least ten minutes
I just finished the game it’s great
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe and Happy New Year 🎊🎊😊
Dystopian Detroit is a reality.
It’s great we are at a point where graphics are so great that it can be the 3rd most important thing and gameplay or storyline can be the top priority when developing a game…so many games are either great looking but have dull controls or lame storylines…game makers should focus on gameplay first then storyline second and build the game around that lol
I never heard of this game, but I want to play it now. It kind of reminds me of alien armageddon. A sequel to the last alien movie with Ripley that was made. I'm actually glad you're covering a Robocop ip, because I was thinking about actually watching a Robocop movie When I saw this thumbnail.
Peter Wellers robocop is the best. Both robocop 1 and 2 are great watches.
Happy new year Niyat, I missed saying it before but I hope you had a wonderful night 🎉🎉🎉
Great review.
Amazing video on this new Robocop video game. Robocop is a sci fi icon
Still wanting to get this game.
Cool ta vidéo :)
Pretty much predicted the future of Detroit.
I wouldn't pay full price for this game, but I'd buy that for a dollar
The devs need to make another run at a legit Rambo game
1:28 - So basically just modern day Detroit 💀😅🙈
Great video Can you do Zilla,Giant Octopus,Maguma,Manda,Baragon,Gargantuas,Gezora,Ganimes,Kamoebas,Varan and Megaguirus/Meganulon from Toho,Hearts of Iron 4 and L.A. Noire
There is no Robocop 3 in my head cannon...
Who ever made this game has to make a judge dredd game lol that would be awesome
The irony is that because the studio couldn't get the rights for Judge Dredd, they created Robocop, but when they did get the right they did Judge Dredd with Sylverter Stallone, I think that it was better that they didn't.
I love the Robocop movies, but one thing I always kinda felt off was the turn of the CEO\Old Man from 1 to 2. In the first he really didn't come off as part of the corruption. He was very upset with the ED-209 glitch. He figured out how to save himself and allow Murphy to kill Dick Jones by firing him and then thanked Murphy treating him as human instead of a piece of OCP property. Him becoming corrupt and uncaring in the second film never sat well with me. All in all, the second film was a blast and great follow-up to the first. The third was ok.
I'm happy to call it Robocop 2.5 or the proper Robocop 3.
Hey Im not sure if I could ask here or something but can you cover the movie Upgrade? The film that was released in 2018?
Yep, I actually already did! Here's one I prepared earlier lol - czcams.com/video/W6TDB6C2HC8/video.htmlsi=GxXL_bmzo-mC6w-R
Im a fire starta... twisted fire starta
Robo wants a cookie!!
Cool Robocop:Rogue City Review FilmComicsExplainedn can you do reviews of Aquaman and the lost kingdom please 😃😎👍🤘❤
FilmComicsExplained make a vid about star wars the force,anakin skywalker or anyone else
The game takes place between RoboCop 2 (1990) and RoboCop 3 (1993).
Is Wendell really Emil's brother or was he telling the truth when he said it was an assumed identity that OCP gave him?
It was all a ruse. OCP hired him to play the role to mess with Murphy's Psyche!
Are you sure? I thought he was just saying that so that he could gain sympathy I mean he is a lying con man narcissist? He did go on to try and get Robocop to let him go after saying that.@@filmcomicsexplained
"A dystopian Detroit" So, Detroit.
He said dystopian Detroit… you mean Detroit
I saw this game on steam and was confused sknce i seen 0 advertising for this game i bought it and loved every min of it lmao i been so bored of games lately so this was a new experience also loved the og movies
Robocop… ahhh the memories…. I think I was like four when the first one came out… but by the time we got the third one I was 7 or 8 and got my first crush on the little boy who needed his ass whooped by mama😂😂😂
Amazing game
Please look at The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.
Very cool indestructible corporate funded police officer 😎
The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky
Please...
Don't forget about Rexy... 😏
Hey Niyat, can you do Alien Isolation next ? 😁
Oh yeah, I can definitely add it to the list! :)
Didnt know the guy from Prodigy was in the game! Super cool.
His fate is that of a Servitor or a Space marine Dreadnought of Warhammer 40k.
This game to me I would considered what Robocop 3 should’ve been with Peter Weller back as Officer Alex Murphy aka Robocop.
Hey Niyat can u do a video on war for the planet of the apes?
Mass effect
I really wanna see a Judge Dredd Robocop Crossover. Those two would be a dynamic duo.
Absolutely shanks!
Pretty bloody and gorey game.
A dystopia detriot oooohhhh so like real like got it
Can you explain The Signal 2014
This video sure is popular with the sex bots 😂
lol I know. I dont understand why CZcams doesnt do a better job of getting rid of bots
I'm still pissed off it didn't get ported to PS4!! 😠
Haven't played it, no PS5, but as a big 80s fan, this looks good.
They should do some DLCs, like...
- Robocop vs Terminator (like the 1st comic, a What if... expansion, connecting it to their Terminator game, though not realy canon)
- ED-209 (play as ED-209 in one segment, having a glitch, making it... smarter)
- Collectibles (collect the old comics, when complete you can read them)
- The Purge (Robocop in a PURGE situation sounds interesting, everybody becomes a criminal, legaly, how does Murphy react? Though this could be more of a comic.
About a sequel, maybe remake the 3rd movie, make it more like the other movies & THIS game. If not, just continue after the 3rd movie, as an example, there are comics that show a Old Man Murphy against a new OCP situation years later.
(10:42-10:50) it went rouge well stop the presses.
its great but so much game breaking bugs. couldn't finish it due to npc glitching.
Idk looks like normal Detroit to me…
No one believes you've been there before.
Nah actually RoboCop Detroit looks way better less fentanyl and heroin needles on the ground
Man what is up with all these thirst trap bot accounts? So annoying.
Yeah I agree. CZcams needs to get rid of bots once and for all
Still a better movie than Robocop(2014)
Cool. Welcome everyone to being the first 100 watches.
Please take your pick:
🍿 🥤 🍺 🍫 🍔🌭🍕🍦🍩🧋
Unlike that garbage ass movie remake
Robocop 3 is worse than the remake
The terrible compositing is hard to look at
For our sins we deserve eternity in hell, but God loves us so much he came as Jesus to pay the price through his death and resurrection so we can be forgiven and receive eternal life if we follow and obey him in faith FOR LIFE , Jesus loves u all and desires to give you all peace and redemption✝️✝️✝️
I'll gladly pass on that
damn did you have bibleohs for breakfast this morning
AMEN to that @ blitz🙏🙌
@@goe74life49
If God exists, then Lucifer did nothing wrong.
Jesus was nothing special. He was a human who had an idea and died just like everyone else who pissed off the Roman empire.
It was great? You play as a floating hand your told is robocops. Finally get a robocop game only to play as robocops hand. It was an fps that played like the 1000000 other fps games that came out this year. Lazy trash.
This is sponsored right? This game is horrible.
Bot really. People are happy with it. It's not Triple AAA levels but it's basically a Fun Video game of the Movie. Not AAA but fun to get on a sale.
