We were rather sceptical of Terminator: Resistance when it was announced back in September thanks to the developer's patchy track record. Reef Entertainment's last title was Rambo: The Video Game, and, well, Push Square awarded that a 2/10 in our review. Thankfully, however, this Terminator spin-off seems to be shaping up a little better.
The game's opening 10 minutes have been posted online for all to see, and to be honest, it doesn't look that bad. It's clearly going to be a rather simplistic first-person shooter, but that's not such a bad thing in an age of Games as a Service titles that demand you learn numerous mechanics and play for more than 100 hours. It's out on PlayStation 4 next month on 3rd December, meaning it could be a nice way to round out 2019.

Hmmm.
That doesn't look bad!
Worth ago if the price is right. Licensed games can get away with being simple if the world and sounds and story work
Looks awful, I have no problem with simplistic first person shooters. However this is a Terminator game so what I want is good action against T-800s with laser guns, Hunter Killers etc and what do we get? Metal spiders and a pistol oh and some crafting materials and tradable goods because business is more important than the extinction of mankind.
I'm a huge Terminator fan and the first 30 seconds of that video were good, almost great. The rest?
This does look surprisingly OK.
@carlos82
Have a look on YouTube. There are a few gameplays up to 30 minutes long. Plenty of T-800s about.
Looks like showing the early parts of the game is putting people off.
I saw it at the weekend and thought it looked pretty awful. I do generally like anything Terminator or Alien based but this...eh. As @carlos82 said, dumb metal spiders dropping weird crafting materials.
Looks like Colonial Marines when I wanted Isolation.
Still, I'll give it a go
Good to see Eli Vance made it over intact from the Half Life dimension, though. Guy can't catch a break can he.
@KALofKRYPTON surely that's a bad thing, if a game doesn't grab you in the first few hours then your likely to drop it
@FullbringIchigo
Maybe. Its obviously relatively basic and will absolutely struggle at full retail price (which it appears to be), but that said - the gameplay I saw seemed largely based around avoiding more dangerous Terminators, like T-800s - which quite rightly kill you rather quickly - until you've gathered resources and better weaponry.
There are plenty of fps games out there that start you off under-equipped. My point more verges on the fact that people really, really want to see balls-to-wall future wars pink lasers.
@KALofKRYPTON well given how disappointing Dark Fate was i don't have much faith in this
@FullbringIchigo I don't blame you 😂
I'm looking forward to more gameplay. If the game can eventually evoke the future war scenes from T/T2 and even the start of Genysis - then it could be worth a punt when the price inevitably tanks.
@KALofKRYPTON i still can't get over how he did EXACTLY what he criticised and complained about Alien 3 doing
I hate to say it, but anything involving one of these storied sci-fi “creature” franchises (i.e. Alien, Predator, Terminator) almost immediately prompts a cynical “let’s wait and see” attitude from me. For every AVP Classic/Alien: Isolation that we get, it seems like there’s a number of other games that range from “forgettable” to “awful”. Colonial Marines being the most egregious example.
I can remember having a blast with Terminator: Future Shock back in the nineties, and I would love to have another franchise outing of that quality on modern hardware. But...I’m waiting for a few solid reviews before I get my hopes up too much.
clunky and bad facial animations, dialogue choice options that definitely do not matter
im grabbing this one. i played the clunky and bad salvation on the ps3, so i need to play this one too, lol
I'm looking forward to it. Can't be as bad as the movie.
Ahhhhh.... yeaaa nahhh.. Im good, looks garbage.
Looks alright, i wouldn't be pay full price but if i ever see it for 20 quid or something i would bite.
those graphics look OK, but nothing great at all, let alone anything worth buying full price, plus the animations, and that it looks like a pg13, ill pass
@KALofKRYPTON I mean I'll probably still pick it up at some point and get enjoyment out of it as a big Terminator fanboy, I can't deny hearing that soundtrack didn't get me giddy. But ever since seeing the first two films future war parts and yet still we don't have a good movie showing it, this seemed like a great opportunity to do just that. What's worse is they tease it too at the beginning, ooh you want some lasers and a T-800? Well here's a pistol and a spider. I did see another video which was half an hour of forced stealth and hacking mini games, even if there's 10 minutes of a proper future War I'll be there (not for 50 quid though)
@kyleforrester87 I love me some Alien Isolation
@FullbringIchigo Yeah, I totally agree. Cameron is a great filmmaker, but apparently also a massive hypocrite. He's consistently been on record discussing how much he hated that choice, even as recently as about a year ago when he would've been producing Dark Fate.
I've had it on my rental list for a while, might keep it on there and try it out.
Looks nice but there are too many great games. So i rather save for those and go watch the movie.
It's Resistance with budget terminators instead of Classy Chimera then?
Graphics are early PS3 type. Lame Game
@LemonHaze They might sell it cheap on Black Friday because no one will buy the game. I would recommend saving your money. This is not going to be a good game expect the majority of reviews to be bad because it's a bad game
Save you money folks. Games created and released as a promotional product for a film are never good ever. This will be a rushed buggy mess and laughable.
@Flaming_Kaiser Same here I plan to skip the games and just watch Dark Fate.
@KidBoruto Didnt get the hate the movie looks nice.
@Flaming_Kaiser Alot of people were mad with certain decisions the movie made plot/story wise and also with certain characters.
(No spoilers please I'll be waiting for the BluRay before I watch)
@KidBoruto Same here mate waiting for the Bluray release. 😉 👍
