Amen! Much rather play a fun, interesting 15-20 hour game over a 100 hour game of bloated nonsense that loses my interest a quarter of the way through.
I like longer games with quality content. Like RDR2, The Witcher 3. Feel I get more of my money's worth, especially with games that are costing $70. If a game I'd short and no substance, then I'm not a fan paying $70. I will pay the price for a quality game that's shorter, but it better have quality story, graphics should be insane or at least an art direction worthy of the developer recieving compensation for it, and better have decent mechanics.
I mean, who buys a game to play that’s not fun?? Every game you own should be fun. Why buy a wack game when there’s countless information on games before they come out.. 🤦🏾♂️ I swear ppl just say anything to comment
@@D.M.MortemI mean, you can always wait a month or two and get games when they go on sale. If you waited a couple years to play something, what’s a few more months for it to go on sale and have all the bugs fixed?
This is definitely a modern day AA game, and honestly the industry needs more of that. Because gaming now a days are either 200 million dollar epics or small budget indies. AA games could allow for more riskier game ideas without having to worry about it being a mega hit.
The only way to consistently get high quality double A games is if people actually buy them when they come out. Too many people see a game like this and think 15 - 20 hours of content is not enough. I'll wait for a sale.
@@mrcritical6751 the game was bad, yes…. But, and I really hate to say this, it can be a stupid fun time, one of the worst games that I secretly kind of like.
@G-ForceLogic Robocop got what it deserved, an incredible, excellent game made by a talented developer, Rogue City is one of the best games of the year hands down
Loving this game immensely, perfect love letter to the fans of the first two films. Terminator Resistance was also especially good from them, Teyon truly understand how to recapture the tone of the films that the fans want to relive for themselves like very few developers are able to do. Creative Assembly's Alien Isolation was similarly exceptional in that regard (these three would make a fantastic triple pack!), but could have done with more "down time" between objectives to enjoy the perfect 70s sci-fi world they had recreated, that game's too damn stressful haha. Would love it if Teyon made a Judge Dredd/2000AD game, but with Rebellion gatekeeping that dormant IP, that's sadly not likely to ever happen.
This game is absolutely hilarious. From throwing bikes at enemies to the side missions & dialogue. It's an out & out good fun FPS game & encourages replay ability.
This studio is REALLY good at taking beloved science fiction films and distilling them into exactly the game we imagined if only they could be in our heads as we geek out watching them for the ten billionth time.

If you don’t like robocop then don’t buy it until it’s on sale. I’m a robocop fan and I’m honestly confused why this game is getting so much praise. If you remove him from it it’s a 5 at best. I wish it was better but it feels like an outdated ps3 game that got a remaster
Just watching the 1987 classic turns anyone into a Robocop guy. How have you not been enamored by one of the greatest science fiction films of all time?
This is such a fun game, honestly my biggest issues with it is it lacks a NG+ system and it's nearly impossible to max out all your abilities so you end up having to choose carefully what you actually want. Other than that it's a pretty good game. Would recommend if you enjoy Robocop!
I maxed out the exp skill. Now i get 3 levelups per evaluation, 2+ during the section. I maxed out exp skill after eng 6 and a lot of others and i think ill max out the skills by the end of the game.
And sadly it will likely never get a new game plus... Us fans of Terminator: Resistance kept asking Teyon for a new game plus for it for ages.. And everytime we were ignored so the likelihood of getting a new game plus for Rogue City is HIGHLY unlikely..
I can't wait to play this. Terminator Resistance was surprisingly good as well. I think the best way to describe this is a love letter to the movies and source material. It doesn't have to be high art, or ground breaking, it's just honest and sincere.

Now we just need a Dark Souls TMNT game and my childhood would be complete. Oh and ports of the spiderman games that I can play. Apparently SIE paid people to port the games that never ever thought video cards would progress from the era of game port release or something.
As a Robocop fan also, this game is awesome! The developers did an excellent job in building the world you interact with. There are details you noticed from the movies that make you go " that is awesome!" And overall you can tell the developers really cared, hoping this game does well for them to hopefully see another entry in the future!
That beginning of the first mission, when the theme kicks in, chefs kiss. Also, they seemed to have timed the target acquisition time of your visor with the time it takes for a grunt to ready a grenade. Meaning you nearly always shoot it out of their hands and it feels glorious.
I managed to play the demo, enjoyed it and was surprised at the fact that it was 3 hours; it was enough to make me preorder and I’ve had so much fun with the game since release, I really do believe Teyon and Nacon found their niche and what works, because I would love more from this game like DLC missions or so
This seems like a great opportunity to make an FPS that's very accessible to people who haven't played many videogames and might lack the proper reflexes or simply need more time to take in the surroundings, aim, and would generally benefit from a slower pace. I wonder how well it does on that front. We need more videogames that can be approached by people with little experience in them.
Or Frozen crossover with Terminator. Imagine you are a cybernetic Olaf! Elza, come with me if you want to live! And the final goodbye as he's melting himself to save the future...
Honestly, the "light" RPG elements of this totally work for me. A lot of modern RPG's are so deep, and so complex that frankly, they are exhausting... there was a great balance in this for a game you want to load up for a couple hours and just have a good time.
Looking past the faults, you still can enjoy the game for what it is, as RoboCop fan or non fan. Sometimes gamers focus too much on the negatives, without enjoying the many positives a game can offer. Thanks for the honesty Jake, as a RoboCop fan and gamer.
Focusing on the negative is the new social media meta, just look at Starfield. It was a good game for about 2 weeks, now it's the worst game Bethesda, or any studio for that matter, has ever made in the history of gaming.
This brings me back to the 360 days when random games would come out that were a little different, not as long, but simple and a good time. I remember buying naughty bear because the game description on the back and the cover caught my attention as a 9 year old. Loved it.
It's a dream come true for fans! The only things i miss, are the lack of the real sound of the Auto-9 gun and the beep green target when focus (the person). Devs made this game with heart for the fans! So far, the best Robocop title in game. What a good nostalgia!
As a kid I was a HUGE Robocop fan and it always bothered me that there were no games that actually felt like Robo. Now I know it was just a matter of waiting for technology to be in the right place for it to happen. Also it was clearly an IP the creators understood properly. I put rogue city on the same level as xmen origins wolverine, where for the first time you actually get to play Logan the way he should be played. So far I am absolutely LOVING rogue city
I wonder what you'll think of the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine game then.. From my understanding it is going to be like an open world X Men Origins: Wolverine game..
I love the demo which is already a very nice thing that brings me back when game devs had nothing to hide. I cannot skip this game because I love this character and the two first movies are really something special to me.
I love this game. Yes it's janky at times and it doesn't look like a AAA game. But it nailed Robocop. Between the characters, recreations, boss battles and late stage secondary gun. I've loved Robocop since I was a kid and am really happy with this game. I only wish there was a new game plus to really play around more with the skill tree. Cause once you have things upgraded you really feel like Robo
Yeah, I pre-ordered and finally entered Delta City today. I stayed away from the demo to be able to savor the game. I imagined it would be like Terminator Resistance: Infiltrator Mode and in the first few hours it really is, and then it starts adding stuff in. I enjoyed it immensely. I'm probably only quarter of the way through, but I got what I wanted. I remember playing the 2D platformers back in the 90s on a variety of platforms, and then there was a rail shooter arcade game. Well, the mobile one wasn't too bad but got boring quickly. It always surprised me how few Robocop games there were. So finally there is this one, long awaited Rogue City, which even with its dated graphics (well, faces mainly) still delivers the atmosphere of the original movies in an immersive way. Thank you Teyon for two of the best games on two of the best franchises ever.
Its been a good few months that made me feel like a kid again. AC Mirage, Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and now RoboCop! I miss having these smaller super fun games that aren’t 70+ hour longs. Thank you for the review, you guys are the best!
You mentioned how you make a good Superman game, since he's invincible. They did a good job with Superman Returns on the XBox 360. You were indestructible, but the section of the city you were in had a health bar. If that section took too much damage, you lost the mission, and had to do it again. That's the best way to do that kind of game.
For real though, everyone should get out and support devs like this, AA developers used to be such a solid part of the gaming landscape and they're dying off as studios get bought up and budgets get higher and higher
I think this game will have longevity and will be polished by the modding community over time. Already seen suggestions from mods forums to add footsteps, Auto 9 Sound effects, and the mechanical sound Robo makes when he turns.
@@HappyDude1 There are footsteps and Auto 9 sounds in the game. But you know gamers, somebody will always find a way to make them better. The scanline CRT effect is on while Robo is in analyze or targeting mode. Personally, I'd love a short rendition of the theme when Robo arrests someone and they are taken away by the squad care. Weirdly there's no music in these sequences and the theme would go really well with Robo's heroic closeups.
Holy fuck I made it to almost when yall posted. You guys are the ONLY reviewers I listen to because you guys tell how it is from a gamers perspective and I just love it. Thank you guys for all the hard work you guys do. Best gaming channel on RUclips hands down
This is on my list. I've been playing RoboCop games since the C-64, and everything I've been hearing says the fun factor and the fidelity to the material significantly forgives the roughness that comes from a smaller studio with limited resources. Looking forward to it.
Best RoboCop game ever made. I was hooked from the opening and was loving it all the way through. We definitely need games like these that help you escape from the day to day grind! Nothing too smart or overly complicated, just plain dumb fun.
Picked this up on launch day. Played a few hours so far. The best description I have for it is very old school FPS with modern graphics. It's like they made this for me! I'm planning on buying my boys copies just to give them more sales. Great game, simple, fun and nastalgic. Cheers!
I was pretty sold by the trailers. Looks like a fun shooting game. After armored core 6 I realized how much I missed games that were quick and crazy. I’ll get this soon for sure
For the most part. There's still a ton of braindead modern gamers shitting all over the game calling it "mid" because it's not Call of Duty, even though they hate on CoD all day everyday too.
@@Gatorade69the AI is shit and there's like 6 different enemy skins and the game play is extremely repetitive, it's shit and only doing well because of nostalgia.
I will 100% be getting this game. I love Robocop. Being a child of the 80's I played the original arcade game. Even Played the ZX Spectrum port, which for its time was brilliant. Really looking forward to playing. Will have to re-watch Robocop 1 and 2 now :)
Their Terminator game was awesome af, i remember playing it parallel with Resident Evil 7, and being more intimidated by their game compared to RE7 which some people say is the scariest experience in gaming along with Outlast (at least back then), they just had captured the Terminator atmosphere so well, you feel the hopelessness in fighting this unstoppable force of remorseless robots, especially at the hospital level where they send like 10 T800 after your 4ss lol, i never got jumpscared or something playing both games back then, but Terminator was so well made and moody i was like "damn i wish i never have to experience a similar reality where we fight something like skynet" Im really glad that this RoboCop game looks dope as hell, will for sure try it out once i update my rig, to anyone who likes this game i recommend trying out Terminator Resistance, its amazingly good and this company deserves more recognition especially when their first game was such a huge flot (it was a Rambo game that was on rails shooter), but instead of quitting they decided to improve on themselves and came up with the best Terminator game this world has seen World building and atmosphere is something they excel at
I actually loved their terminator game, so I'm hyped. It was a game where the gameplay was mid but the encounter design was excellent, like genuinely excellent. On hard the difficulty was perfect, you got the power fantasy but also had to be aware because the terminators could melt you. One of those games that was much more than the sum of its parts.
Bought it and been streamin it ❤ no problems except some fps problems in cutscenes but that’s alright 9/10 so far and terminator resistance was awesome to platinum 2 times ❤
Found this gem on sale for 20 bones on a Black Friday sale. I wasn't really expecting much, and it is far from perfect; BUT it's actually pretty fun and you can't beat the $20 price tag.
This THIS. More games like this. You can get quality without being a bloated AAA game, B tier games are some of the most endearing ones people remember.
Picked this up on a Black Friday sale for $20 on PS5. This game is a steel at that price. I’m having a blast, blowing gang members away. Just as all the reviewers are saying high on fun with a little jank that keeps it from being a great game. I did have some serious frame rate drops in the steel mill area that seemed to stick around after the action was over. Shutting the game down and reloading it seemed to fix it.
Great review Jake , thanx. As an 80's child I loved the first 2 movies, I watched the first Robocop when I was about 10 (parents didn't know and were not too happy when I told them afterwards lol) and was hooked from the start. I will buy this, it looks like they captured everything we love about Robo. Thanx again.
I preordered the Alex Murphy edition and I have been having a lot of fun with it. As you said it isn't perfect and has some issues, but it's still charming as hell, especially as a die hard fan. I have played every Robocop game pretty much, from the old arcade versions, the NES versions, SNES versions, Robocop vs. Terminator and even the XBox one. I even actually liked the XBox one. It was hard as fuck, but I managed to have fun with it. I do get why most people didn't though.
I've never played a RoboCop game but I've always bloody enjoyed the films so picking this up is a no brainer. I will wait until it goes down in price as I have a big backlog at the moment.
Weird, because I really enjoyed the side quests, they are funny too at times and I also enjoy walking around slowly backtracking or searching for random violation and crimes and citizen who needs help while listening to that metalic step sound of Robocop. It feels like you explore and get to know more the side of Robocop that the movies didn't tell you. Who would have thought that we get to search for (SPOILER! DON'T READ AFTER THIS) a missing house cat and ended up shooting bad guys in the end of the side quest.
So far this game has been a blast on ps5. Just like review said, the shooting is gruesome fun and most importantly it gets the feel of Robocop perfectly. The devs did great job expanding out the world with the extra side content to give a good sense of pacing. The only real negatives are the cutscene animations needed more work in the lip syncing and face visuals and perhaps controls could have been a bit more tuned (still not bad). Other then that the game is good. If your a fan of Robocop or linear fps games, then this is definitely worth looking into!
@@benw3029 I've done both, don't see a huge difference so I just stick to performance. But I can't find much info on exactly what the difference in fps and resolutions between the two are, so might be worth looking into
Saw Gmanlives' review on this. So glad this game came out. 2023 is truly one of the best years for gaming. The developers definitely went above and beyond with the budget they had.
I thing that I didn't hear you mention, is that investigation gives you more options when talking to NPC - like when investigating SUX 6000 dissapearance, you can notice that mechanic was changing perfectly good car batteries and use that (and implied threat of legal intervention) to get him to tell you what he knows. Or with the mentioned kid doing graffity - you can unlock third option if you look around and find another graffitied wall (as in - graffiti in the same/similar style).
Great review! First Jake Baldino, your not the #1 RoboCop fan. Coz I am. Secondly, Falcon should have opened the segment, fans would have been shocked as we know Jake loves ROBO 😅. Great work keep it up 🎉
I loved the Terminator game they put out. From what I've played so far of this game (4 or 5 hours in), I have loved what I've seen so far. Like the Terminator Universe, they've nailed down what makes Robocop, well, Robocop. Not just the mechanics, but the feel and vibe the movies put out. From a nostalgia standpoint, what else would you want? I can't speak for youngsters who may not be versed in the franchise, but for me, this is a very bright point for the franchise as a whole.
I'd buy that for a dollar. Honestly this game would be impossible to make for a AAA company because they need to adhere to progressive social norms and most of the stuff in the Robocop franchise are a no-no for "modern audiences"
The Alex Murphy edition is on sale for $35 bucks on PS right now. You talked to me into it. Looks good. The comment section was incredibly helpful on this one.
Respect for Teyon just gone thru the roof absolute legends to take such a difficult character to put into videogame form and to pull it off! They just seem to get it
To do this and terminator on a budget, I mean that's something to applaud as well. Not only does this give me nostalgia for the movies but also for the days where AA games were coming out and were just plain fun without having to dedicate the amount of hours akin to a full time job to complete.
I'm just here because I knew you were RoboCop's number 1 fan. I may check this game out in the future though. I still remember the first time I saw RoboCop back in the 1990s
Bought this game months ago but still haven't played it, like 70% of my Steam games. Just too busy to play games nowadays, but love your videos as unlike say, IGN no actual spoilers. Keep it up!

A bit of that and a bit of black due to the gameplay and effects. Black was on Xbox and PS2 FPS game
Looking past the faults, you still can enjoy the game for what it is, as RoboCop fan or non fan.
Sometimes gamers focus too much on the negatives, without enjoying the many positives a game can offer.
Thanks for the honesty Jake, as a RoboCop fan and gamer.
Focusing on the negative is the new social media meta, just look at Starfield. It was a good game for about 2 weeks, now it's the worst game Bethesda, or any studio for that matter, has ever made in the history of gaming.
Past
Games are expensive nowadays, so a little criticism goes a long way.
@@BixRibene yes, exactly, that's why I'm giving Jake his props, for constructive criticism.
*non-fan.
This brings me back to the 360 days when random games would come out that were a little different, not as long, but simple and a good time. I remember buying naughty bear because the game description on the back and the cover caught my attention as a 9 year old. Loved it.
They really captured the first two movies. It is impressive.
Love the shooting damage.
Bethesda should take notes.
NOOOOOH?!? ..and 3 😛
Doom is nice
@@tiktokgirl007 3? nope! (to OLD)
AGREED 💯
Shooting damage? Well ya cause this game is linear as fuck and a million times smaller than a Bethesda game
Can’t ever skip a before you buy! Ty for the best daily vids! 🕹️
thank YOU!
Gameranx, the only review I trust. IGN-orant=Robo7!
It's a dream come true for fans!
The only things i miss, are the lack of the real sound of the Auto-9 gun and the beep green target when focus (the person).
Devs made this game with heart for the fans! So far, the best Robocop title in game.
What a good nostalgia!
As a kid I was a HUGE Robocop fan and it always bothered me that there were no games that actually felt like Robo. Now I know it was just a matter of waiting for technology to be in the right place for it to happen. Also it was clearly an IP the creators understood properly. I put rogue city on the same level as xmen origins wolverine, where for the first time you actually get to play Logan the way he should be played. So far I am absolutely LOVING rogue city
There was one game from 1988. Perfect arcade.
I wonder what you'll think of the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine game then..
From my understanding it is going to be like an open world X Men Origins: Wolverine game..
@@TheGamersGrottomade by the developers behind PS4/5 era Spiderman games, no less. Going to be epic
@@TheGamersGrotto Could be very good if that's the angle.
The environmental damage is really impressive. It looks the same as COD games. Also the game overall looks fun. I might get this down the line
Huh cod games don't have any environmental destruction
Lol this game is Miles ahead of any COD game with the damage
But there's legit 0 environmental damage in CoD games..
Lmfao are you on glue?
Do you mean Battlefield?
I love the demo which is already a very nice thing that brings me back when game devs had nothing to hide.
I cannot skip this game because I love this character and the two first movies are really something special to me.
I love this game. Yes it's janky at times and it doesn't look like a AAA game. But it nailed Robocop. Between the characters, recreations, boss battles and late stage secondary gun. I've loved Robocop since I was a kid and am really happy with this game. I only wish there was a new game plus to really play around more with the skill tree. Cause once you have things upgraded you really feel like Robo
They added more content to the Terminator game so maybe they’ll do that with this one too.
@@Ahrimane that would be awesome. After saying RoboCop, I really need to give the Terminator game a try. Is it good?
Yeah, I pre-ordered and finally entered Delta City today. I stayed away from the demo to be able to savor the game. I imagined it would be like Terminator Resistance: Infiltrator Mode and in the first few hours it really is, and then it starts adding stuff in. I enjoyed it immensely. I'm probably only quarter of the way through, but I got what I wanted. I remember playing the 2D platformers back in the 90s on a variety of platforms, and then there was a rail shooter arcade game. Well, the mobile one wasn't too bad but got boring quickly. It always surprised me how few Robocop games there were. So finally there is this one, long awaited Rogue City, which even with its dated graphics (well, faces mainly) still delivers the atmosphere of the original movies in an immersive way. Thank you Teyon for two of the best games on two of the best franchises ever.
A welcome Double A game. I'll play it when the crazy season winds down! Thanks Jake!
Its been a good few months that made me feel like a kid again. AC Mirage, Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and now RoboCop! I miss having these smaller super fun games that aren’t 70+ hour longs. Thank you for the review, you guys are the best!
Yes I definitely remember seeing rainbow flags and people talking about their sexuality in my childhood marvel games.
Spider man 2 is terrible, nonsensical main story and identical gameplay to the first one.
But I'm glad you could enjoy it.
@@OffendEveryoneImmediatelycame here for this....thank you
@@OffendEveryoneImmediately OOOoo look at me, I'm so big and strong that I get upset seeing a pride flag.
@@demon794clearly he upset you or you wouldn’t have replied. It’s not that serious. People can have their own opinions.
The easter eggs and attention to detail is incredible. This game is so simple yet does everything I’d want. I’m recommending to everyone.
Just picked up the Alex Murphy version on Steam for £24.99. I’m a huge Robocop fan from back in the late 80’s and I’m loving this.
You mentioned how you make a good Superman game, since he's invincible. They did a good job with Superman Returns on the XBox 360. You were indestructible, but the section of the city you were in had a health bar. If that section took too much damage, you lost the mission, and had to do it again. That's the best way to do that kind of game.
For real though, everyone should get out and support devs like this, AA developers used to be such a solid part of the gaming landscape and they're dying off as studios get bought up and budgets get higher and higher
I think this game will have longevity and will be polished by the modding community over time. Already seen suggestions from mods forums to add footsteps, Auto 9 Sound effects, and the mechanical sound Robo makes when he turns.
and the scanline CRT looking thingy full time, not just while zoomed in. I love the look of that.
Thats not in the game ??? Thats the best part
@@HappyDude1 There are footsteps and Auto 9 sounds in the game. But you know gamers, somebody will always find a way to make them better. The scanline CRT effect is on while Robo is in analyze or targeting mode.
Personally, I'd love a short rendition of the theme when Robo arrests someone and they are taken away by the squad care. Weirdly there's no music in these sequences and the theme would go really well with Robo's heroic closeups.
Holy fuck I made it to almost when yall posted. You guys are the ONLY reviewers I listen to because you guys tell how it is from a gamers perspective and I just love it. Thank you guys for all the hard work you guys do. Best gaming channel on RUclips hands down
This is on my list. I've been playing RoboCop games since the C-64, and everything I've been hearing says the fun factor and the fidelity to the material significantly forgives the roughness that comes from a smaller studio with limited resources. Looking forward to it.
Best RoboCop game ever made. I was hooked from the opening and was loving it all the way through. We definitely need games like these that help you escape from the day to day grind! Nothing too smart or overly complicated, just plain dumb fun.
Picked this up on launch day. Played a few hours so far. The best description I have for it is very old school FPS with modern graphics. It's like they made this for me! I'm planning on buying my boys copies just to give them more sales. Great game, simple, fun and nastalgic. Cheers!
I was pretty sold by the trailers. Looks like a fun shooting game. After armored core 6 I realized how much I missed games that were quick and crazy. I’ll get this soon for sure
Armored core 6 is one of my favorite games of this year. Glad to see someone else enjoying it.
So good to see AA games being well received!
For the most part. There's still a ton of braindead modern gamers shitting all over the game calling it "mid" because it's not Call of Duty, even though they hate on CoD all day everyday too.
@@Gatorade69the AI is shit and there's like 6 different enemy skins and the game play is extremely repetitive, it's shit and only doing well because of nostalgia.
It sounds like the only thing missing is an audio mod to make Robocop's gun sound exactly as it did in Robocop 1. I can't wait to play this.
I will 100% be getting this game. I love Robocop. Being a child of the 80's I played the original arcade game. Even Played the ZX Spectrum port, which for its time was brilliant. Really looking forward to playing. Will have to re-watch Robocop 1 and 2 now :)
Their Terminator game was awesome af, i remember playing it parallel with Resident Evil 7, and being more intimidated by their game compared to RE7 which some people say is the scariest experience in gaming along with Outlast (at least back then), they just had captured the Terminator atmosphere so well, you feel the hopelessness in fighting this unstoppable force of remorseless robots, especially at the hospital level where they send like 10 T800 after your 4ss lol, i never got jumpscared or something playing both games back then, but Terminator was so well made and moody i was like "damn i wish i never have to experience a similar reality where we fight something like skynet"
Im really glad that this RoboCop game looks dope as hell, will for sure try it out once i update my rig, to anyone who likes this game i recommend trying out Terminator Resistance, its amazingly good and this company deserves more recognition especially when their first game was such a huge flot (it was a Rambo game that was on rails shooter), but instead of quitting they decided to improve on themselves and came up with the best Terminator game this world has seen
World building and atmosphere is something they excel at
I actually loved their terminator game, so I'm hyped. It was a game where the gameplay was mid but the encounter design was excellent, like genuinely excellent. On hard the difficulty was perfect, you got the power fantasy but also had to be aware because the terminators could melt you. One of those games that was much more than the sum of its parts.
I forgot about this game and now I want it lol
They need to make a retro modern robo cop. I know they remade it in 2014 but 80s robo cop has way more of an iconic look.
I've been waiting for over 20 years to see Robo back on a gaming system and by god I'm in love, thank you.
I saw a lot of effort and love in the demo. Hoping this sells well enough for a bigger and more ambitious sequel.
Been so hyped for this game! Can’t wait to grab my copy this weekend 🙌🔥
Bought it and been streamin it ❤ no problems except some fps problems in cutscenes but that’s alright 9/10 so far and terminator resistance was awesome to platinum 2 times ❤
10:58 Thanks for fixing my cracked display.
Found this gem on sale for 20 bones on a Black Friday sale. I wasn't really expecting much, and it is far from perfect; BUT it's actually pretty fun and you can't beat the $20 price tag.
The most important thing: Does it have Basil Poledouris music...from main theme to sad theme?
I've had this game since early access and is an absolute blast. Once you fine tune the shooting, it feels amazing !!!
This THIS. More games like this. You can get quality without being a bloated AAA game, B tier games are some of the most endearing ones people remember.
Wanted: Dead was another AA "B" game that i absolutely loved this year. Janky PS3 style goodness with humor and heart.
@@MatticusFinch1820now that game was terrible
This is a really good RoboCop game, well optimized too. Definitely a good groundwork for a sequel
Just bought it, and I absolutely ❤ it. Being a child of the 80s, I'm a huge Robocop fan, and this is the game I didn't know I needed.
Picked this up on a Black Friday sale for $20 on PS5. This game is a steel at that price. I’m having a blast, blowing gang members away. Just as all the reviewers are saying high on fun with a little jank that keeps it from being a great game. I did have some serious frame rate drops in the steel mill area that seemed to stick around after the action was over. Shutting the game down and reloading it seemed to fix it.
Great review Jake , thanx. As an 80's child I loved the first 2 movies, I watched the first Robocop when I was about 10 (parents didn't know and were not too happy when I told them afterwards lol) and was hooked from the start. I will buy this, it looks like they captured everything we love about Robo. Thanx again.
I preordered the Alex Murphy edition and I have been having a lot of fun with it. As you said it isn't perfect and has some issues, but it's still charming as hell, especially as a die hard fan.
I have played every Robocop game pretty much, from the old arcade versions, the NES versions, SNES versions, Robocop vs. Terminator and even the XBox one. I even actually liked the XBox one. It was hard as fuck, but I managed to have fun with it. I do get why most people didn't though.
That was a good take on a great game, thanks for the presentation, Jake!
4 franchises that hollywood doesn't care about but hopefully gaming will save: Terminator, Robocop, Dredd, The Matrix
I've never played a RoboCop game but I've always bloody enjoyed the films so picking this up is a no brainer. I will wait until it goes down in price as I have a big backlog at the moment.
Weird, because I really enjoyed the side quests, they are funny too at times and I also enjoy walking around slowly backtracking or searching for random violation and crimes and citizen who needs help while listening to that metalic step sound of Robocop. It feels like you explore and get to know more the side of Robocop that the movies didn't tell you.
Who would have thought that we get to search for (SPOILER! DON'T READ AFTER THIS) a missing house cat and ended up shooting bad guys in the end of the side quest.
I liked terminator resistance and had fun with the demo. Definitely getting it
This looks like a lot of fun, but I still think the price point is a little too high for it. Definitely gonna pick this one up on sale
RoboCop is back on the menu boys!
DAMN RIGHT
Let's pray that they make a Predator and a Rambo game.
I'm so hyped.
Using the auto9 is so damn satisfying!.
Meeting ED209 was epic.
So far this game has been a blast on ps5. Just like review said, the shooting is gruesome fun and most importantly it gets the feel of Robocop perfectly. The devs did great job expanding out the world with the extra side content to give a good sense of pacing. The only real negatives are the cutscene animations needed more work in the lip syncing and face visuals and perhaps controls could have been a bit more tuned (still not bad). Other then that the game is good.
If your a fan of Robocop or linear fps games, then this is definitely worth looking into!
How is the haptic feedback on the ps5 controller?
You play on performance or quality? I can’t decide
@@benw3029 I've done both, don't see a huge difference so I just stick to performance. But I can't find much info on exactly what the difference in fps and resolutions between the two are, so might be worth looking into
Where’s the Goddamn pizza Jake!!??
His here in this video reviewing the game
Saw Gmanlives' review on this. So glad this game came out. 2023 is truly one of the best years for gaming. The developers definitely went above and beyond with the budget they had.
I thing that I didn't hear you mention, is that investigation gives you more options when talking to NPC - like when investigating SUX 6000 dissapearance, you can notice that mechanic was changing perfectly good car batteries and use that (and implied threat of legal intervention) to get him to tell you what he knows. Or with the mentioned kid doing graffity - you can unlock third option if you look around and find another graffitied wall (as in - graffiti in the same/similar style).
Great review! First Jake Baldino, your not the #1 RoboCop fan. Coz I am. Secondly, Falcon should have opened the segment, fans would have been shocked as we know Jake loves ROBO 😅. Great work keep it up 🎉
Saw it on xbox store for 34,99 as soon as i heard you can give people parking tickets i bought it 💀
“I’d buy that for a dollar”
Robocop v Terminator remake incoming…
could it happen?!
Also, I hope they can do Judge Dredd!
I loved the Terminator game they put out. From what I've played so far of this game (4 or 5 hours in), I have loved what I've seen so far. Like the Terminator Universe, they've nailed down what makes Robocop, well, Robocop. Not just the mechanics, but the feel and vibe the movies put out. From a nostalgia standpoint, what else would you want? I can't speak for youngsters who may not be versed in the franchise, but for me, this is a very bright point for the franchise as a whole.
As a kid in the 80s and 90s, I did not hesitate for one second when buying this game. Take my money!!! 😁
I'd buy that for a dollar...... But it's probably like $60
Still mf $60 on Xbox rn
Worth my hard earned $1.
I'd buy that for a dollar. Honestly this game would be impossible to make for a AAA company because they need to adhere to progressive social norms and most of the stuff in the Robocop franchise are a no-no for "modern audiences"
The Alex Murphy edition is on sale for $35 bucks on PS right now. You talked to me into it. Looks good. The comment section was incredibly helpful on this one.
I got it for 0
Respect for Teyon just gone thru the roof absolute legends to take such a difficult character to put into videogame form and to pull it off!
They just seem to get it
To do this and terminator on a budget, I mean that's something to applaud as well. Not only does this give me nostalgia for the movies but also for the days where AA games were coming out and were just plain fun without having to dedicate the amount of hours akin to a full time job to complete.
I'm just here because I knew you were RoboCop's number 1 fan. I may check this game out in the future though. I still remember the first time I saw RoboCop back in the 1990s
Bought this game months ago but still haven't played it, like 70% of my Steam games. Just too busy to play games nowadays, but love your videos as unlike say, IGN no actual spoilers. Keep it up!
Can confirm Jake is a huge robocop fan had a whole discussion with this man when the reboot came out on Twitter haha
Hi Jake, I'm the real number 1 RoboCop fan, my favorite part is when they say "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him"
