I've played the quarry section yesterday and it was awesome. First, the bikers and then when I thought I will be backtracking with nothing going on, they introduced snipers. Every 15 minutes there's something new.
Enjoy, man!

I'm still at the
Steel Mill
Haven't died yet, but Ive definitely come close a few times. I dont think Ill ever get tired of doing point blank shotgun blasts to those guys riding their bikes. The Focus mode fuckin rocks.

YES! .50 cal absolutely slaps. I've used it for almost the entire duration of that mission but then I've unlocked motherboard that granted me unlimited magazine for RoboCop's main gun and yeah, that's just too awesome...

I didnt get the unlimited mag, but I do now have the option to go either burst fire with the Auto 9 or full auto.
Of course Im rollin fully automatic for that bad boy
Walk into a room, Focus, and then just sweep back and forth popping domes and nutsacks. Its glorious.

Damn, I need to unlock focus. I've invested all my points into Deduction to get that sweet, sweet +30% XP boost.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Budget doesn't mean shit if you don't have talent.
Real talent can make do with limited budget.
And this is a prime example. Good on Teyon. Let's just hope this game gets the sales figures it deserves.
I already convinced 2 collegae's to buy it.

The game should be played on max difficulty or at least hard if you want a good videogame experience other than just a robocop power fantasy.
Without challenge the whole exploration\upgrade system become meaningless.
I'm playing hard and only died 3 times so i kinda wanna switch to max difficulty.

But to be fair, it's not as fun as the 3 burst mode or the automatic mode, the gun just doesn't sound right with one shot at the time.
Modding and improving the base weapon when the base weapon is iconic is something that i absolutely loves in videogames so this shit hit me right in the kisser.

Man, if any game deserves to be played as a power fantasy its this one. I dont want to die as fuckin Robocop lol
I totally get wanting challenge though, but thats not for me when it comes to an experience like this. Doesnt fit the character.
Now Terminator Resistance, I did play that one on Hard because I thought it'd make more sense since youre a solider in the apocalypse against all odds. Shits gonna be rough going.

I'm kinda shit with fps and i only died 3 times, hard is the right choice to still be a killer machine but having to look at your health once or twice.
Also...robocop in the movies gets fucking blasted and broken into pieces against heavy fire, even in the movies he is hardly invincible, he still has to avoid the lawrence gang shooting with those huge rifles at the end of the movie.
You are not dr manhattan level of OP.

Oh yeah he gets totally wrecked at the end of that first movie. That .50 cal rifle lol
He definitely gets on right on the brink of death. Just like I do

No he gets wrecked by the police first, with kinda normal weapons, no explosives or anything, just pure straight numbers.Oh yeah he gets totally wrecked at the end of that first movie. That .50 cal rifle lol

Almost time to go home and continue playing. I just left the station with the rookie, so Im not far in at all.
Have yet to see daylight in this game.

When you were leaving the station, did you overhear the two cops talking about OCP employees infiltrating the force and working undercover?
I have a feeling
the rookie helping you is exactly that. I wouldnt be surprised if we have a Bioshock/Atlas situation and this dude is playing you the entire time just so Becker/OCP can eventually fuck you over

I always assumed that police squad were using armor piercing bullets or something since no other guns(other than ED209's) leave big bullet marks in the movie.
The coke factory raid leaves Robo pretty much unscathed with all the thugs shooting at him.

I mean armour piercing bullet are still what i consider in the realm of "kinda" normal weapons, they were not throwing granades and explosive rounds at him.
I'm sure criminals in robocop lore have armour piercing bullet aswell.
Edit: there is actually a perk in the armour tree that make every normal bullet bounce so it kinda say without saying that some enemies have enhanced bullets\rifles.

This game is pretty awesome. It makes me want to check out terminator, but the reviews are REALLY bad. How is it?

*Refreshes biennially
Terminator is equally amazing. Ignore reviews from the “press”, it has 92% positive on Steam from thousands of actual players.

Must be something when playing because looking at these shoots, it looks like normal AA gameHoly fucking shit. This game is just next-level. Out of all games that you can say "it makes you feel like X", this is the best one yet. Such a love letter to the IP. It also looks very, very good!

This game looks great. Kind of came out of nowhere for me this year, previous trailers looked so generic, but the pics in this OT and videos I've seen show me they've totally nailed the RoboCop vibe.

Yes, sadly this is the main reason why Sony pushes for their Ips to score above 90+ by giving employees extra salaries
GymWolf

Sony should buy this team.
A bigger budget + sony big AAA bias and these dudes can easily aim to 90 overblown metascores, robocop is already better than the 3 resistance games combined.
But under sony they would probably start developing barbie or new snowhite tie in instead of cool stuff.

Well you arent going to hear a *ding* when you get a headshot
But the shooting feels good. It uses the dualsense haptics. Its got a similar sort of XP/skill system. Even the weapon upgrading is similar. Sound effects for the pulse rifles and stuff is on point too.
That title screen music though. Teyon knows title screen music. When that 80s guitar kicks in = chills

If RoboCop looks like “normal AA” then Forspoken can be categorised as -AAA. C’mon man, it looks very good and is a showcase for what small team can pull off using UE5.

Looks great but doesn't anyone else think the ragdool needs to be toned down when enemies are taking bullets? There is way to much flying around when just taking a bullet. I feel like it would be a bit more realistic feeling if it was slightly toned down. Throwing them makes looks good but yeah, tone it down a lil.

Fuck 'em for taking my order when they didn't have stock. I've just cancelled and got next day delivery with Amazon Prime.I've to wait until next Tuesday as the online shop sold out of copies. They took my money quick enough though the cunts!

It looks good for a small team suer.
Forspoken is a different game entirely and I think it looks awesome. I often stopped to take screenshots not because "wow these shadows are accurate" but because the view was awesome.
This robocop game looks like UE5 showcase completed from store assets... I mean it's detroit from robocop so of course it's supposed to look drab I guess.
My point is - It might be impressive technically but I am not sure yet if it is impressive visually. I would need to play it

I'll be honest, both games are as ropey as a badgers arsehole. Terminator is clunky as hell and Robo is pure cheese on toast with clunk, but..Based on your impressions & reviews I'm definitely getting this for my Xmas vacation
Also got me curious about Terminator Resistance.
With all the nods and winks to both I.p's you can't help but love em! They're just straight to the point. I hope these guys keep bringing us these renditions of 80's classics (I bet we don't get Aliens though..)
Well worth a punt

I mean they get hit by a 3 burst 50cal pistol, people in real life would probably fly aswell
The only thing i don't like about their ragdoll is that sometimes enemies get stuck inside walls.

The game feels a joy to play, i played triple A with more clunkiness than this game.

Your point is that you don't have a point. Character models are mostly miss rather than hit (RoboCop looks ace, that's most important) but environments are amazing, level of detail is amazing, destruction is amazing and gore system is amazing. It looks exactly how RoboCop game should look like. Bleak. Serious. Run-down. Hopeless. These guy understood the world of RoboCop. You walk into an apartment building and you can almost smell the piss and trash. No talking bracelets and other stupid nonsense here.

Oh, and they also nailed the humor. It’s this nice mix of seriousness and silliness that’s so hard to get right.

I'm hoping they stick and new game+ in. I don't want it just to end..They nailed the irony of the universe aswell, the spots on the radio are exactly what would you expect.
And what about the criminals and hobos talking about complicated economic stuff like they are elon musk

What would you (or anyone in here) say it feels/plays the most like (besides Terminator, being I never tried that one)?
MidGenRefresh
*Refreshes biennially
It’s a mix of awesome shooting, exploration, looting, dialogue, investigation with light RPG mechanics (you level up and unlock skill points). I know that’s not what you want to hear but it plays mostly like Terminator.

Would be great if more studios took note of this and adapted this approach. Smaller teams with a reasonably decent budget very south of gargantuan USD $100+ million typically seem to be allowed to take more creative risks and pour passion into projects.
Only if Sony manages to get back to its senses otherwise I really don't want to see it happen. It would be a travesty if they were strong-armed into putting some nonsense into their games because corporate policy dictates it or something like that. I don't want developers like Teyon to get compromised like we have seen so many times already...
