Terminator fever is ramping back up again as the new movie approaches, but it turns out we're getting a first person shooter to go with it. Set in the year 2028, Terminator: Resistance has been announced for PlayStation 4 from developer Reef Entertainment.
You play as Jacob Rivers (great gaming protagonist name there), a soldier in the Resistance Pacific Division. Unfortunately, he's been marked for termination - uh oh! - meaning he'll be fighting for his life against the titular mechanical baddies. It looks... okay in this announcement trailer, but the studio making it doesn't have the best track record.
This will be one to keep an eye on, especially for fans of the iconic action flicks. It's due out on 3rd December 2019. What do you think of Terminator: Resistance? Promise you'll be back in the comments below.

Well the fact they've butchered the theme tune isn't a good start, I think I'll stick to Gears 5 and Mortal Kombat 11 for my Terminator gaming needs as something tells me this might not be quite as good an fps as Doom Eternal
Remember when slapdash licensed games were dead for a few years? Those were good times.
That’s pretty cool, I’m always interested in Terminator and Alien games, even when they suck.
The new movie is shaping up to be pretty awful if the trailers are anything to go by.
Nearest I'll get to a terminator game is me going back to the 90s with RoboCop Vs Terminator on the Sega Mega Drive
I wouldn't mind if Bethesdas started making Terminator games again. Those were awesome.
Last terminator game I played was Salvation. Learnt a lesson that day. Don't play terminator salvation
Looks ok i guess, i might get it when its like a tenner or something. I was actually thinking the other day at how cool a Terminator game done in the style of Alien Isolation could be, having to basically run and use everything you have to slow down some unstoppable machine what is constantly after you could be pretty epic.
@WallyWest I was literally thinking the same thing. Bullets only slow it down. The final level is quite large, containing a few methods for defeating the Terminator, but you have to find them and figure out how to do it.
Why on earth can't we have a good Terminator game? This one doesn't look too good...
Looks as naff as the upcoming film, a low budget feel and shouty one dimensional characters in vests, no actual substance, originality or innovation.
Wouldn't it be funny if that footage was like pre-pre-pre-alpha footage and this game turns out to be GOTY material from this studio?
Death Stranding who? Gears who?
Yeah, that'll be the day.
I don’t get gamers these days .. Some gamers cannot take things for face-value anymore ... What is WRONG with this game? Trailer looks cool .. 👍 it’s a Terminator shooter ... so what if it’s not
“Naughty Dog” quality ?? This game is a popcorn type shooter .. take it for what it is guys !!! Graphics look good .. No MP trophies , single player game and you get to fight Terminators in the future !!! Buying this day one , after that I finish Star Wars : Jedi Fallen order
@YozenFroghurt I have so many fond memories of going to the arcade with my dad and playing that until we ran out of quarters. I loved that game. I still play it when I vacation in NH every summer.
"This will be one to keep an eye on, especially for fans of the iconic action flicks."
Considering this is the same developer as the Rambo PS3 game, I'd have to disagree.
Yeah, I have low expectations for this one. This announcement really came out of nowhere, and like one have said, this is made by the same people who worked on the Rambo last gen game. So yeah....
Their website looks like the final essay of an internet workshop for retirees and their last game was Rambo. What could possibly go wrong?
Well I am sure we have the technology to make a great Terminator game - although perhaps need next gen to play it at a great frame rate or maybe sacrifice some resolution (like Battlefront for example). The problem though is making the story great - and that issue has affected movies in the franchise too of course.
That is likely to be the biggest problem with this game. We have had great 1st and 3rd person shooter mechanics so this shouldn't be an issue but appeasing the fans of the franchise, delivering a story that is befitting the name should be the biggest problem this has to overcome but not all devs manage to get mechanics and animations right despite the fact that many others can. Therefore the story should be the only area to get right but the one part where we get to see a character speak wasn't particularly well animated - A wait and see for me rather than buy - and that's from a Terminator fan...
@Imagremlin yes, the one first launched in the arcades? I loved that one. But then... All crap I think. I remember one for PC, and FPS around 1993... Then another on PS2..
@FrequentlyFreaky I don't think you get it. Apart from negativity surrounding us all the time with peaple talking fps and 4k resolution all the time most peaple do agree with the first comment and move along. They don't think. Observe every articles comment and see what I'm telling you. You're right. Trailer seems cool enough and it's a cool cocept.
Human flesh over eco skeleton 😎 Bring IT
"the studio making it doesn't have the best track record" - I just googled them and came across Rambo - The Video Game. It looks brilliant. And by brilliant I mean awful.
@Imagremlin If you have 669 kilobytes of free space on your hard disk you can download it and play it again on your PC. Otherwise, you can play it on your browser...

Coming from Teyon, I don't expect much...
I enjoyed 2004's terminator 3 the redemption on the ps2/xbox back in the day.
