I’d buy it for a dollar, but not much more
Robocop: Rogue City aims to be authentic to the first three films in the series, which means it’ll either be a thoughtful exploration of what it means to be human and a cutting satire of American culture, or it’ll be about fighting robot ninjas and having a jetpack. Or both! The first proper trailer of the game confirms only that it’ll definitely be a mid-budget first-person shooter.
Here it is, as shown during this evening’sNacon Connect:
At a glance, it certainly looks like Robert Cop, but the more closely I flick through its frames the more it comes apart. The “targeting” feature doesn’t look like it’s from the game so much as added in post, the lip-synching during cutscenes is terrible, the player seems to be shooting at wooden boxes purely to create distracting particle effects during quick cuts….
Robocop: Rogue City is being developed by Teyon, the makers of similarly mid-budget FPS Terminator: Resistance. It got a rough review fromCraig for us, so much so that he decided to talk about better potential Terminator games instead. I suspect Craig will burst like Emil Antonowsky should Robocop follow a similar pattern.
