Support NeoGAF

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Looks absolutely incredible. So much detail, love and passion for the franchise evident, and gameplay looks fun.

It’s interesting to think that back in the day, would it have been possible to develop this game on, say, Neo-Geo? In other words, is this the accumulation of developer expertise over the decades, or technical capabilities?

I’m wondering myself if, say, Konami could have done something akin to this in the ‘90s if only Ocean and LJN didn’t snatch all the big movie licenses only to shit out half a dozen games for half a dozen systems with a two-month development time.
I guess we’ll never know. But for sure, devs today can build upon decades of expertise. Also, many of them probably had one or two Christmases ruined by abysmal tie-in games and have every intention of showing the world how things should have been done back then.

Thats gaming ... day one.

Count me in, day one family.

Looks unbelievable! Sad that in this day of 3d gaming and 5090 GPU's that this has now shot to the top of my most wanted game this year...

It's not sad.

It's a CELEBRATION! We need more games like these that harken back to the 16bit/32 bit eras. I'd love to see a renaissance of them and hopefully
this will be successful enough to get developers to take notice.

In *theory* these games should have quicker development times, cheaper development costs and run on a WIDE range of home consoles and pc
configurations. I really think more games like this are needed right now to help settle down the current industry volatility.

Day 1 purchase.

The Terminator 2 game that our childhood selves deserved, I hope, unlike most of the ones we actually got.

 

[RedC]

Definite must buy.

I love the movie but why not doing a proper videogames with good graphics instead of this retro thing? I cant get excited for a 2d pixel art game even if its about Terminator

“A proper video game”

What the actual hell are you babbling about? Graphics don’t make a “proper video game”, gameplay does.

2D games in most cases are as good if not better than 3D.

I died a little reading this

It does beg the question, why make it pixel art? why not make it 16 bit style side scrolling gameplay but with modern visuals that hold up on a flat screen?

Because It's a purposeful artistic choice

Pixel art is an art style, and it's beautiful when done well.

looks good, day one

I can't tell what is satire and a legit viewpoint nowadays but....

Since when did 2D pixel art, good graphics and 'proper video game' become mutually exclusive concepts? For that matter, what is a 'proper video game' given the myriad of genres, graphical styles, and gameplay types we've seen over the decades? Are you saying that, for example, Terminator Resistance ( which I love, FWIW) is more a 'proper video game' than this new 2D one?

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Insta buy for this, what's funny is we've had so many years of the big type of games we've been used to now for decades that when these type drop I truly feel I could be so content of gaming returned to more old school style whether it's stuff like this or sea of stars, DQ 3 etc... Sure I love big dazzling games but this right here is the true heart of gaming. Can't wait.

 

[EruditeHobo]

Give me a dozen of these, honestly.

Demolition Man? Timecop? Under Siege? If it's 16/32-bit style pixelart with contra/double dragon-esque mechanics, with this level of care, those are day ones all.

Fuck yes, dude, and why stop there, let's get Total Recall, Rambo, Die Hard, The Rock, Face Off, Predator, Judge Dredd. Gimme all that shit.

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

my first thought was "wow, that looks a lot like Contra 4"

One of the Contra 4 devs is working on it.

Fvvvvccckkk man I remember diehard on ps1. That shit was amazing.

 

[existensmaximum]

What's up with the animations? Some of them look really bad, especially everything that rotates. Whatever, game looks amazing and I'm looking forward to buying the physical version!

 

[dragonyeuw]

I wonder why they didn't launch this on August 29th ( since it's available a week later I'm assuming they could have pushed that date). Seemed like an easy way to push a 'Judgement day is coming' marketing line or something like that.
