    I played this game on extreme, and there was a moment when I was exploring a house with a couple of T-800 patrolling outside. I jumped from the second floor to the first and continued exploring. Then I heard metallic footsteps. I turned on Ultravision and saw a Terminator coming down the stairs. He heard me jumping from one floor to another and came to check. I panicked and ran into a nearby room, locking the door behind me. Of course, he heard me, busted the door and blasted my face full of plasma.
    This game went to 10/10 for me at that moment. It's amazing that the team pulled this off after Rambo videogame and with limited budget.

    The hack gaming media's opinions are worthless. Terminator Resistance isn't the best FPS game made, but it is a solid 8/10 game made by T1/T2 fans for those fans.
    Honestly, I dreaded what these devs were gonna do with Terminator after playing Rambo The Video Game on PS3. Man was I pleasantly surprised by how much they improved with Terminator Resistance.

    @davyheijlands1956 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I stopped taking "official" reviewers into account when researching if a game is something for me. Somehow they more and more stray from my preference. I must be getting old.
    I actually grow up when Terminator was dictating pop culture. This is the main reason this game brings a huge smile to my face. In my humble opinion this is the actual completing story to the original story from the first two films. In a way this game is the first prequel which takes place after the main story and loops back into the first two.
    As a long time Terminator fan I can really appreciate the final product. Sure the visuals are not at the industry standard and in if I'm really honest I can see the graphics are even below Killzone Shadow fall which was a PS4 launch title, but people complaining about this are missing what this game is about and how it was created.
    Firstly Killzone is a huge Dutch Sony funded studio with massive resources and a big staff. Reef is just a small studio. So even comparing Terminator Resistance with the first PS4 fps shooter is an unfare contest. So when trying to compare it with a contemporary game is way out of the question. Reviewers who are doing this are just not being honest about it.
    For me it all clicked very well. The story, the music, the weapons and the world. I mean walking around in destroyed LA and exploring the Tech Noir disco and finding the original Tahnee and Cain music is Soo awesome. All the easter eggs are really well done and don't distract from the story, but add an all time high nostalgia factor for me. Using the Hardballer (.45 Longslide with Laser Sighting) and using it in the Termination mode is really well done. Barging down on the bunkers a la Franco Colombo is just pure Terminator brilliance.
    I really hope when Reef Entertainment stays succesfull we might get a more dark and gritty terminator down the line.
    For now I'm keeping my eye on the Robocop game that's in development now. After that....maybe even RoboCop vs. Terminator. Who knows

    The exploration, world building and freedom for the player to approach situations in multiple ways was refreshing in this game. Typically FPS games are linear run and gun but this game had a great pace to it. Varied missions, tons of Easter eggs and a nice weapon upgrade system. Easily my favorite FPS campaign since the original Halo trilogy.

    This game is a lot of fun and it's much, much better than the sum of its parts. Sure, some of the mechanics and graphics feel a bit dated, but it's competently made, it works as intended (i.e. no major bugs or performance issues) and the story elevates it to something special.
    Storyline wise, this was the next Terminator sequel I always wanted; it's emotionally resonant and ties all of the primary film story threads together in a satisfying conclusion.
    Also, that final battle of the base game is absolutely riveting. I actually teared up a bit as the main Terminator theme built to an incredible crescendo as you fight.
    For being a AA mid-tier title this punched far above its weight class. I hope we see more mid-budget titles like this.
    Great review, Joe. Glad you also saw the beauty in Terminator Resistance. I was also baffled by the negative reviews from the bigger gaming media publications. Just shows how subjective and unhelpful game reviews can be sometimes. I love this game so much and I feel lucky to have it in my collection.

    As a big fan of the Terminator movies, I'm blown away. They really captured the atmosphere of the first two Terminator movies, so I was very much immersed in the story and the world of the game from the very beginning. This game made me feel like I was actually in the film and playing my part in it (fighting with the T-800 was a truly surreal experience). What's more, I really liked the actual gameplay: exploring, looting, combat and stealth. The only thing that I could find to complain about in this game was the graphics. Although the art style was amazing and the graphics were not bad overall (it's UE4 after all), I could sometimes find some low resolution textures. Face animation and lip sync also werent great. These imperfections did not affect my experience, so that's why I give this game a 9/10.

    Just playing on Hard, I really feel the power of a Terminator and how pathetic a single human is, going up against more than one!
    One thing I would have liked to see more of, would be additional stealth option, for taking down Terminators, as a build-in Gameplay necessity. Imagine, if openly engaging a single or group of Terminators, taking them down, and causing the area around you to become a search zone. Other Terminators in the area, will become more hostile, group up and begin searching for you, as they're networked together, so they know you're in the area.
    Stealth could then be a way around this, by disabling their network connection first, so the others don't know what caused it to go offline. If you don't at least try it out, you can cause a redeployment or additional, stronger units coming in, as your "Threat Level" goes up.

    This kinda feels like what Terminator 3 should have been. After two movies in the present depicting the Future War & how the Resistance actually defeats SkyNet is what we all wanted. I suspect that’s what they originally wanted to do but just couldn’t because of the technology at the time (hence why it took over 10 years for T3 to actually be made).

    While I haven't played this game I've watched plenty of videos of it on this platform and while it's not perfect, it's respected for being what Terminator 3 should have been, set in the time of the future war leading up to the final defeat of Skynet and the sending back in time of Kyle Reese to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor from the T-800 and the reprogrammed T-800 to 1995 to protect John Connor from the T-1000.
    The last two Terminator films, Genysis and Dark Fate, attempted to reboot the franchise. Genysis was a muddled mess that turned John Connor from hero to villain, while Dark Fate disposed of him unceremoniously to insert a new hero, a petite Mexican woman who no one connected with. Salvation, the film that came before these two, was the first and only film set during the future war but it was set in 2018 and followed the new timeline created by T3. It was very flawed but overall it was a decent attempt to try something different.
    In regards to this video game Terminator: Resistance, I see many people consider this game as the true canon story that connects to T1 and T2, set in the future war near the end where the human resistance finally defeated Skynet and sent protectors back in time to prevent Skynet's terminators from killing Sarah and John Connor, while also incorporating a new figure (Jacob Rivers) into the story giving it extra depth.
    Maybe a tv series adaptation of this game could work as long as it is faithful to the source material and keeps itself connected to the lore of T1 and T2?

    I played this game on Xbox. This is the best Terminator game to date in my opinion. As a hardcore fan of the first two movies this game delivers a lot of fan service. I have not played the dlc yet but I am gonna get this game on Steam so I can play it again on my Steam Deck. I hope the studio will make a T2 videogame with a good prequel sequence when the resistance captured and reprogram the T800 to protect John Connor with Arnold and Robert Patrick reprising their roles for the game.

    Loved the game. Practically a love letter to first Terminator movie. I had chills the whole time through the last mission.
    The only thing I wish they had done differently is leaned a bit more into gritty feel of the movie, through gameplay and mechanics. Maybe by adding some type of survival mechanics/mode: wounds, food, water, keeping others alive, gameplay more stealth oriented, using the environment. It becomes a bit too easy in second half ( when you get plasma weapons).

    I just finished the base game and am about to try infiltrator mode but wanted to see what the dlc annihilation line is like, I'm getting now regardless of weather or not I end up playing it simply to support the devs. I am 44yr old and was around for the movies so I am a true OG fan and this is by far the best terminator game hands down. The bad reviews probably didn't get past the slightly slow start and didn't know about how strong you get, it has a real sense of growing strength that alot of AAA titles get wrong and I enjoyed this alot more than I thought especially considering I'm not a big fps fan these days

  • @DarthIckus

    I downloaded this game to rip the 3d models from it. I ended up playing it through 10 times, so far. The music during the final showdown with Skynet is absolutely fantastic. The fan service in this game and the DLCs is something that should have gotten the game much better reviews on its own, let alone the playability of the game itself. The animations in parts were choppy, but overall, I agree 100% that the game is criminally underrated! I do the house with the 8 Terminators using the Terminator Knife alone. It's a nice little in game challenge. Play the game on Extreme difficulty mode, as it's more like you'd expect the Terminators to be as enemies. A solid review, Joe.

I would have really liked to see 3rd person where you could customise your player weapons etc, I think it would have been better for stealth aswel, the AI isn't great, sometimes its like a ps2 game when your talking to people, but for now its pretty good, I would really like to see a 3rd person terminator game in the same setting

The game manages to be immersive without slowing down gameplay too much, the learning curve is almost non existent due to the intuitive mechanics, and enemies are nice and hard (on harder diff, I only played on next to hardest since I'm pretty used to FPS games) without becoming bullet sponges.
