RoboCop: Rogue Metropolis is in growth by Teyon, the studio behind video games like Terminator: Resistance and Monster Truck Championship. It appears they’ve bought a little bit of a factor for 80s franchises with large robotic characters in them, doesn’t it?
When Terminator: Resistance launched on the finish of 2019, it was in a quite sorry state. In our Terminator: Resistance evaluation, Dom wrote: “Turning the Terminator franchise into an gratifying recreation expertise must be doable, however not on the price range Teyon have tried to do it on. Final-gen points make this a time traveller that no one wished to return again.”
Nonetheless, they sought to show it round to a sure extent with a major patch to enhance the AI within the recreation, and there was additionally Terminator: Resistance Enhanced for the brand new technology of consoles and Annihilation Line DLC. Then once more, that may not transfer the needle all that a lot. In our DLC evaluation, we wrote: “Annihilation Line is an efficient DLC enlargement, however will do nothing to alter your thoughts about Terminator: Resistance. For those who loved the setting and the gunplay then there may be extra right here to get caught into, however there isn’t a deviation from the core gameplay to be discovered. Not fairly ‘I’ll be again’, however neither is it ‘Hasta la Vista’.”
