- Terminator Resistance review: • Last year’s surprising...
Surely Teyon are gonna make a Terminator v RoboCop game next. Surely. Or maybe a BladeRunner game. Can they just make games based on 80s sci-fi forever. Back to the Future maybe? Or They Live? Bill & Ted perhaps?

0:00 A random side-quest that stuck with me
2:29 The new RoboCop game is "surprisingly" good
4:34 The franchise so far
6:52 Amazing aesthetics
7:33 This game is stuffed full of stuffy stuff
9:23 How Rogue City adapts RoboCop's ACTION
10:45 How Rogue City adapts RoboCop's DRAMA
14:59 How Rogue City adapts RoboCop's COMEDY (or SATIRE, rather)
18:55 It's a cool game*, or, why I'm being Mr. Grumpy

To whom it may concern, hope you're well, here's my review of Teyon's Terminator game: czcams.com/video/rWTiEgJ_LTo/video.html Regards, Peter PS: Try the veal
Are you here all week?
I love playing PS2 Terminator 3 (there is 2 version of it I recall, but forget which one) back in the day for some reason
I hope they get to make a Judge Dredd game next.
They are making another terminator game with survival elements. I'd love a judge dread or punisher game from these devs.
Rebellion owns Dredd. They should 100% partner up.
With Carl Urban. I hope.
Rebellions CEO owns 2000 AD don't get your hopes up
At least remaster Judge Dredd Vs Death. I'm tired of Sniper Elite.
If a decade ago you told me I'd one day be a fan of the dev that made Rambo: The Video Game, I would've called you crazy.
It's been a decade? Damn 😨
@@milla8632 Time just flies and we all get older.
Even if Rogue City doesn't entirely hit all the beats, I genuinely put it amongst my games of the year.
this game looks boring no way you have this GOTY
this is the only game that came out this year that has SOUL
Sad
@@ViktorKruger99 I hope this is satire.
@@MarbleThumbs this was a terrible year for videogames, except for rogue city everything was soulless garbage
Very nuanced look at the game. Criticism doesn't need to be a bad thing. I'm glad teams like Tayan are out there taking big swings.
Even with no qualifiers like minime added, I wouldn't have taken this to be negative criticism.... more just stuff to be aware of.
I'd compare Rogue City more to mid budget games from the PS360 era like The Darkness, where they had ambitious ideas that seemed under baked at times, but were still overall great experiences despite their flaws.
The Darkness was sick, loved that game
It's easy to forget that The Darkness itself was a licensed game, too, as it's based on a comic series. Appropriately, it was made by Starbreeze as a followup to their Riddick games. Those Riddick games themselves are another great example of the sort of thing I'd compare this to.
still waiting for a Darkness 3 that will probably never happen @@giantswing3175
The darkness was amazing
reject AAA, embrace AA
I really relate to loving this game and not wanting to admit the boring bits were boring. You phrased that very well. But like you said, this game is easy to root for and it was definitely one of the best games I played this year, even if it wasn't the most polished. I feel weirdly proud of the developers for evolving from the very bad Rambo to the pretty good Terminator to the very good Robocop, and the success of Robocop has made me genuinely happy. There's so much to be down about with the modern games industry, so a passionate team improving at their craft and being rewarded for it is worth celebrating.
Hope they make an alien vs predator game next.
I love how it legitimately has given the RoboCop franchise a second life. And just like Alex Murphy, I think this came back as something stronger than it was before.
Regarding dialogue, a cool option could've been for the more "human" dialogue options to be locked off or just non-existent at the beginning of the game. You have no choice but to be an unfeeling robot. As the game progresses and you help more people, you gain those dialogue options.
Game takes place after Robocop 2. At that time at the ending of the movie he feels a lot more human than before.
@@TheMrCHELL Interesting. Never saw that one, heard it was bad.
This could have been the only time that a moral choice system might actually have made sense if you had to like level up your empathy by seeing others do compassionate things and at first making minor choices.
I love how bullets react with surfaces in this game, they kick up a ton of dust and debree, it really sells how powerful a gun should feel, i wonder why cod and other high budget games can’t do it like this
it's very expensive performance wise especially in a game with many players like cod which has to run at a locked 60 at the minimum
Watching the environment reacting to the players destruction will always one of the best feelings about games. The finals is getting alot of praise for a reason.
@@Dragonfury3000 the finals destruction feels subpar compared to 10+ years old games like bad company 2 and crysis 1.
I guess smth is better than nothing tho
@@lolcat bad company 2 runs smooth on the ps3 and 360 while 32 players blow up holes in every bulding and level down trees with machinegun fire, i think the ps5 and series x can handle some dust and debree lol
@@lucignolo8333somewhere along the line graphics got put as more important than detail and the overall feel of the game. Few games these days actually try to make you feel like you’re experiencing what you’re character in the game is experiencing
Honestly I love this game just because teyon, for all the mistakes they made, they actually tried at least. Which is kind of a HUGE deal these days lol
I want them to make a They Live game. That would be an awesome game mechanic putting on the glasses to see the enemies.
That could be a legitimately interesting way to do an open world stealth game.
I'm imagining that you're doing work for the resistance and need to not draw attention to yourself whilst identifying the aliens in order to avoid their line of sight as they will be able to recognise you and send the cops after you.
Wearing the glasses could break your stealth, so you would need to clock them from a distance and avoid acting strange or visibly carrying things you shouldn't as you walk by them. I'm thinking that you could blend in with the regular people for the most part, but there would be a lot of potential contraband to carry back to HQ that would need to be taken back without being detected, encouraging the player to take routes that avoid public spaces and allow them to slip past any scanning checkpoints
Funny enough there is an fps game called They are alive that attempts to use that concept . It's half decent, although one of it's problems is that enemies attack you no matter what, you don't have allies that look like the enemies or something like that, so the only you really need to use the glasses for are puzzles.
14:00 you missed the part where chip was a safeguard that allowed the villain to become untouchable to robo and manipulate him until the chip was removed.
Yea went looking for a comment like this immediately. It's like the main thing this story hinges on.
I loved this game, even if it misses in some places, the sheer amount of care put into it and love for the movies is impossible to ignore. Everything is so detailed and nuanced, it's truly a Robocop fan's dream. It made me grin at the gory action, listen carefully to the more sincere dramatic moments and chuckle at the satire and little jokes. It truly has everything a Robocop game needs.
It's still crazy to me that this little studio on their limited budget has released arguably the best and most visually impressive use of UE5's tech by any third party so far.
You got a point there Id rather have a non stop action game with that satire the movies are known for. I would replay this game over and over if it were more like black for the PS2 with constant action and destructable settings rather that have many down times with the police station and bounding with the other officers. But I enjoyed the game for what it is because this is what I expected after playing Terminator enchanced edition for PS5 with the awesome annihilation line dlc.
"Not enough people are talking about Crisis Zone"
You're goddamn right
I didn't know it existed. And I like light gun games, whu-
Oh, seeing Minimme talking about an FPS based on an '80s action movie made me realize I'd LOVE to see you talk about Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza, an FPS based on the first film released in the early 2000s!
Maybe I'm just way too easily impressed but Robocop: Rogue City is one of my favorite games this year. It goes toe to toe with Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur's Gate III. Admittedly the fact I'm a mega fan of the og movie plays a big part in that.
Honestly, I loved the hokey kid side-quest. It really did feel like a script from a DARE-era cartoon like Captain Planet or Cartoon All-Stars. It does actually pay off in a small way if you get the best outcome for the kid, who becomes the only character in the narrative to return a missing wallet as they are a routine evidence pick-up throughout the game lol
The game that truly makes you FEEL like Robocop.
of COURSE the 80s sci-fi game has a Steyr AUG with that big ass integrated scope :D
Rogue city feels like a love letter to the robo cop movies imo
Rogue
@@noneofyourbusiness4616 Yes thank you didn’t realize I made a mistake!
@@kingofravens215 thanks for taking my nitpick well -- guess I was in micromanager mode
@@noneofyourbusiness4616 No worries I’d rather it be correct than not honesty
A bit of a fun fact: You could one-shot ED-209 if you find the Cobra Assault cannon (which is on a roof)
We need more fun 7/10 games. There's an analogy about the perfect pasta sauce here... which could apply to a certain space game...
All of my favourite games have at least something they could improve significantly. This looks incredible especially for fans of Robocop.
6:08 your videos are always good but this moment was when I knew it was going to be a quality Robocop review
Ah yes, the latest tie-in video game that miraculously serves as a pretty darn good sequel to the films it's based on. Previous examples are The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge (2004), Ghostbusters: The Video Game (2009), and Telltale's Back to the Future: The Game (2010-2011). You could probably make good videos analyzing those, actually.
I would love to see Peter do a video on Ghostbusters and BTTF
If you treat this game as a double-A piece than it's achieving what it's set to achieve. I was slightly interested in the game before and when a guy who I often watch stream games streamed this, I hopped on. At first I didn't like it much but the guy played it for like 3 hours and it slowly grew on me. I really like the writing, the character models look really good, not just Murphy but Lewis looks perfect and the police chief. My only issue was with the sound design. It felt like every sound effect happens in a small radious bubble, if you walk 2 meters away you can't hear the radio for example and I was missing the Auto-9's trademark sound, his footsteps might be okay, but when the he draws his gun he should have had the holster opening servo sound. Ohh, and one other think. Did he use his knuckle spike in the game?
Overall I think it's a pretty good game and once I get a PS5 this will be one of the first games I'll play on it I think (no promises).
There are a few times you use the knuckle spike.
Before watching the video I was waiting for the game to be another Fast & Furious Crossroads, but left pleasantly surprised by the quality it seems to have. Great video also!
It’s surreal watching my boy minime review a ‘flawed diamond’ on modern platforms rather than the PS2 or 360, but I’m so here for it!
"Robo wants Oreo >:("
Look that story up its so fucking funny.
maybe one of my favorite reviews of yours, you used your words beautifully! i think you’re getting better, thank you for your hard work
I finally downloaded the game today. I started playing at like 8:00pm. I wanted to just play for a while then go to thr gym. Now it's 2:00am and I'm still playing. Idk who's idea it was to make it more like an rpg style game where you can find "quest givers" while you walk around but it's pretty fun seeing what cop shenanigans you can get into.
Rogue City is the only 2023 game I bought full price on launch and it was well worth it especially because the PC version delivers the budget price point that the console versions lack (and even if it's cheaper than most PS5/XSX games, 60€ is not a budget price). It's hard for me to find anything wrong with it, but the voice acting is the worse part of it. I get it that you can't get the OG actors in due to budget and availability, but The Old Man sounds nothing like Dan O'Herlihy (RIP). Also it's really heavy on the PC side, probably due to UE5, so 1080p/60fps was out of the question for me, but otherwise it's my GOTY of this year!
I bought this game for Christmas. I can't wait to play this on Christmas! I heard its really good!
I love it when he says his signature line "I'll be back"
The Fact you mentioned Crisis Zone I thought i was the only one who played and loved that Game. You sir have Excellent Taste! Hell Yeah! This Game is Dope I hope Teyon gives us a reboot of RoboCop vs. Terminator at some point. That would be Awesome! But for their next project I kind of hoping for them to do a Die Hard Game it’s been 26 years since Die Hard Trilogy on PS1. So why not give us a new Story with John McClaine with an Actor who sounds like Bruce Willis since he’s ill… That would be Awesome!
Was just about to go to sleep, and this pops up. Thanks.
I keep thinking about getting this, and then deciding I can't justify it. Let's see if you change my mind
Edit: Okay, I'll install it.
Are you enjoying it?
I'm a couple hours in and it's exactly as Mini said. I'm enjoying myself
Great review. Brilliantly written. kudos.
Every time I think of that random Rambo game I remember there's a rap for it you can hear in the arcade version
This has been on my radar and super happy to see a video about it from a channel that covers this sort of thing. Definitely sounds like a lot of good, not great, with some rough spots. So probably gonna pick it up on sale I'm sure.
thanks for yet another fun video review
Thank you. I’m a silent follower but after watching a lot of other videos, this one finally made me cave and buy this game. Love your videos and can’t wait for more!
It really makes you FEEL like RoboCop 😏
It looks like an extended version of the Infiltrator mode from Terminator Resistance, which I really enjoyed. Damn, that was a great game. When Robocop goes on sale, I'll pick it up.
A new Minime video this is the best Christmas ever!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😮
Robocop is not choosing dialogue choices. YOU ARE! YOU ARE THE INTERNAL PROGRAM IN ROBO. YOU ARE THE INTERNAL STRUGGLE.
Give these devs: Starship Troopers, Punisher, Die Hard, Judge Dredd, Aliens/AVP, and Escape From New York.
Maybe try making a real Rambo FPS too. Plus a new Riddick single player focused game would be cool as well.
Robocop Rogue City or Trepang 2 are my GOTY.
Something that I like is that since this is a mid-budget game, it was actually Nacon's best release ever, despite the sorta middle of the road response it got critically, so by all means it's a success story. I hope they keep going with this approach.
The scene of Robocop smiling is all I needed to see to wanna buy this game
With regards to the video description, I would be over the damn moon if Teyon made a Robocop vs. Terminator game.
Sees Murphy burst through a wall like nemesis in Resident Evil 3 "hmm Robocop in racoon city, I'd buy that for a dollar"
2:45 Competence.
"Competency" is an individual thing. "Competence" is over all.
Not singling you out here, but I'm gonna start trying to spread this everywhere as way too many people are saying this now.
Loved this game .. had some issues & some areas where it definitely could have been improved ..
But it was obvious the amount of care put into making you feel like you were RoboCop & after rewatching the films they got some of the scenes/areas down perfectly ..
I just got an Xbox series X today and am trying to decide on what will be my first game. I think this is a sign. Great video mate!
As a long time Robocop fan, I absolutely adored this game, warts and all. In a world of disappointment, it was a rare game that left me pleasantly surprised at almost every turn, while also being pretty much everything I could want from a Robocop game. So I feel more kindly towards it than some of the more polished "better" games I played this year. Also (SPOILERS BELOW)
14:00 The chip is what allowed Wendell to glitch out Robocop with his lighter, and removing it means Robo is finally able to attack him. So it's kind of a mix of the 4th directive of R1 and the reprogramming of R2. But I agree, it is still a cheap plot device either way.
On the topic of drama, I also really liked the complicated relationship between The Old Man and Robocop, and how genuinely touched TOM seems to be if you visit him in the hospital. I just wish they'd done a little more to foreshadow his monstrous return at the end. But OTOH, the juxtaposition of his optimistic "I can still be human" video tape, vs the sheer savagery of what he'd become, is practically the apex of Robocop's black humor. That's a joke so dark it would have worked in Robocop 2.
The environments looks exceptional!
I think it could have been cool to see sequences where you have multiple dialog prompts including things like breaking down as Murphy, and then no matter what you picked you still say the same thing. Maybe if you tried to take too many of the good "guy Murphy options" the game would simply default you back to hard assed robot lawman more and more and then you could start getting the sort of "for the love of god someone help me I'm trapped in this cold dead shell" dialog options and then again what you say is the standard robot lawman dialog option. Maybe accompanied by the sort of static glitching from Murphy's flashbacks.
I enjoyed it, the unexpected side questing and its adherence to the source quite a bit, solid 7/10. I'm gonna give the Eurogamer review a solid 2/10 in retort
To me this would be a textbook case of a game that’s greater than the sum of its parts. It has flaws every where but it just feels right and sometimes that’s all I ask for.
I love what you can get out of seemingly very little!
I love how everyone keeps asking for Teyon to do a Judge Dredd game. We really need to keep boosting that request, because they would knock it out of the park. The great thing about Dredd is that he's been mostly tied to comics, and most fans don't consider the films the "defacto" version of the character. This allows for a larger range of freedom and interpretation that Rbocop couldn't get.
I personally thought Robocop was a fantastic game, and the fact that it was a AA budget game makes it even more impressive to me. I miss the AA budget games we grew up with. I think we're about the same age. Late 20s, so I really grew up during the prime PS2 mid budget licensed game era. I have the ATV vs MX Unleashed soundtrack permanently burned into my skull. The menu music for Midnight Club 3 still haunts my dreams. Teyon is bringing back that optimism in the industry I haven't had in the long time. They are the antidote to the cynical late-stage design-by-committee corporate drivel we've seen from American developers.
I can barely remember the Robocop movie but I loved this game. Just a straight up fun experience. With the good sales and great user reviews, I'm just holding out for an NG+ update now
might be the first game minimme reviews that I actually want to play
Hell yeah dude. RoboCop is the sickest
Going to point out Alex Murphy DIDN'T die; who he was as a human was trashed yeah. His brain and arguably his soul (if you want to debate the philosophical point that the "consciousness" that we know almost fuck all about resides in the mind and the ethics and code of honor we all hold) were intact and perfectly fine. There was a reason he succeeded where all the other attempts failed - aside from the fact he was a trained cop with potential and a good record where all the other attempts to create new robocops in the movies were not cops. There's a reason he dreams of his partner in a semi sexual sense in 3 when she's killed. There's a reason everyone refers to him as "Murphy." If he'd died then they wouldn't do that. Most of his body was gone, but who he was, never stopped. It was part of the point of him deciding consciously to stop "haunting" his wife. To tell her that Alex Murphy was dead and let her heal in grief, because she wanted to believe that was true; in as much as just before he asserted it, his wife was also beginning to believe that it very much wasn't. Another point that was emblematic of his core code of honor and stand-up character, being the reason for his success overall in the project.
I think its funny how the 3 subgenres of enemies you face had you aiming for heads with the punks then torso with the robots then dick the paramilitary guys.Its a very generic way to spice up the combat but it kept me engaged
I equated the dash ability to robocop 1 when he dashes away from the toxic waste
Another W minimme !!
I couldn't agree more, to the point it's making me think instead of doing my own video on this & Terminator I might just repost yours.
Kidding, of course.
Genuinely though, I was about to write 'it's a game that needed an editor or a producer to go through cracking the whip and trimming the fat' and then just as my fingers were hovering over the keys you mentioned thinking it needed an editor to trim the fat.
I feel one thing that would help a lot would be dialogue/script editing - a (relatively) cheap and quick solution that would make the whole package feel that bit more polished. The narrative is usually fine, sometimes good, but drops into iffy territory a bit too much. Get someone to do a once-over on that aspect before you've recorded all the VO and you've got yourself a much tighter feel to the writing, which would give the game as a whole a particular sheen.
There's a lot of other stuff that needs polish (and outright fixing, such as the ED209 battles), but doesn't change the fact at all this is a fun game, a wonderful RoboCop game, and proves that Teyon's Terminator wasn't a fluke. Agree with the other commenter that Judge Dredd should be the next licence tackled, though only because I can't see how the devs would make an FPS out of Highlander and I don't think anyone wants to make a game based on Fortress. Wait shit - what about a Teyon-made Escape From New York? Yessss
I can’t wait to play this
This is the first game I've played in a long time that has the VtM:BL or classic Deus Ex gameplay loop. Loved it.
ALSO- I've got a 4080 set to extreme detail across the board with hybrid reflections, but I'm seeing a lot more SS reflections watching your footage - maybe it's just more noticable in a little YT window vs a 50"/4k/HDR that takes up much more of my IRL FOV?
this game is a masterpiece, i love it so much
I loved it, Teyon really can match that empty and sad atmosphere that should be felt in that Detroit
Very cool to see how far these guys have come since that pretty shitty rambo game from yonks back.
Excited to see what they do in the future.
I’ll buy this a for a dollar.
Best thumbnail ever
Any chance you could review the Punisher 2004 movie tie in game
We have a spanish meme for Robocop:
*The man that died working
And got resurrected
To keep working
But for free*
This is how i imagined a robocop game.
They should make judge dredd game and retry a Rambo game.
playing this on PC 100% felt like it was a cool light gun mouse game
I didn't even realize this was real I saw a clip and thought it was some sort of Fallout 4 mod for some reason, it's kinda crazy that it even exists
I really admire the workman-like feel of the game, feel like the devs had their priorities right & the result is AA magic. Under the hood it's completely unremarkable, a 6/10 game that's fine, I guess, prob not worth anyone's time - but add the lovingly crafted Robocop veneer, get Peter Weller in the booth & now it's a solid 8/10, should-play for fans of the franchise
I enjoyed this game a ton & still want to do an empathy run. I tell people to grab it the second it's $40. I call it "budget cut" the game because of the lip syncing stuff I laughed at, but also tell people it's way more fun than I had playing Starfield or RDR2. It really is enjoyable like a GoodBad movie.
It is so damn funny that this random Robocop game came out of no where and nailed the atmosphere of a punkish dystopia instantly, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 has been out for years now and is still working on trying to fix itself up and straighten itself out.
Cyberpunk is aiming for the neon-drowned "cool" future dystopia of something like Neuromancer. That's why it takes place in fictional Night City. There's this idea, like in Fallout or even Westerns, where, sure, this place sucks for regular people, but for YOU, someone who has the secret knowledge or abilities, it's a playground with no consequences. But RoboCop takes place in...inner city Detroit. Not much power fantasy there.
Its already fixed lmao. People gotta stop acting like it's still in 1.00 version. And in my opinion cyberpunk has more going on for it than this game.
Christmas gang
I can't believe this is from the same studio that made that shitty Rambo rails shooter from 2014, compared to that disaster this game is a 10/10.
One of the best games I've played this year. 👍👍
I’ll be honest, this is the first game that has made me want to upgrade from my OG Xbox One.
You had the opportunity to troll us by reviewing the PS2 game instead lol
Personal GOTY, great and to the point and I just love playing as cop, it's, aspirational and inspirational.
First they made the amazing Terminator game, and now RoboCop. They really took everyone dumping on Rambo personally
First Terminator, then Robocop.... I hope that they do a crossover in the future!! These devs are doing pretty well for themselves!! I can't wait to see what the future holds!! And I also hope that this isn't their last RoboCop game!!
Honest question. Is there splatoon style motion aiming in this game?
Aint nothing wrong about making something for the fans. Other studios and productions could take notes.
I miss tight and quick side missions like the one in the courthouse. Missions that don't overstay their welcome and ones that give you some excitement at just the right time.
I never had much interest in robocop but really liked what I saw with the game so I re watched the 1st film for the first time on years which I really enjoyed
Then the 2nd which was meh
The played the game and I really enjoyed it and got all the achievements in one run
in my top 5 games of the year the world and shooting is so good
