RoboCop: Rogue City is a showcase of how the studio has redeemed itself from its past endeavors. Having Peter Weller reprise his role as RoboCop adds on so much. Gamers, give AA titles like this a chance-it’s definitely worth it!” 🤖🎮🔥
What do you mean "past endeavors"? Their last game, the Terminator game was awesome. Granted, the RAMBO game before that was absolute garbage, but what else have they done that may be considered a poor attempt?
@@ZMA_831 That Terminator game is definitely a hidden gem. They were able to seamlessly weave in their own story within the Terminator canon. That alone makes it worth it to play the game.
@@incorrectgames7584 Did... Do you... Like the first two Terminator movies? This company is showing mad respect to the original properties, from the color grading and overall tone of the movies, to the sound effects. You know when you love a book, and are excited to hear that a movie adaptation is being made? You go to see it, and after all the anticipation, you feel so let down. Even, disrespected because the liberties that are taken with the property. Well this company does justice to the original material.
Indeed. I love seeing genuine improvement in a team's skillset. Here's hoping they somehow get the rights to Punisher or Deathwish game. Seems right down their alley.
It's really interesting how they managed to make the slower paced movement work. The FPS trend lately has been high speed acrobatics but it makes way more sense for RoboCop to move a bit slowly and deliberately. I'm usually a big fan of complex movement but this still looks pretty fun.
RoboCop 1 was OK but The RoboCop original movie sequels were horrible with a big H. The propaganda was so subtle that they almost cheered for a Soviet victory of the Cold War.
Having Peter Wellers voice is a HUGE part of making this feel authentic. Robocop just isn't Robocop without the way he delivers lines. "YOUR MOVE CREEP" "DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME" Fucking gold.
Bonus points for that, they didnt have to, synthesizing the voice was completely understandable. Being a machine and all. But they did bring him back. this is my childhood come back to life and all i ever wanted from a Robocop game.
Played the demo and I was amazed at how the dialogue, the tone and the humour is 100% Robocop. These guys should really make a Judge Dredd or even an Aliens game.
I love the fact that Peter Weller did the voicelines for this game. You can't go past getting the OG actor to voice the role when it comes to a game. Thank you for that!
The idea of Teyon just making a bunch of amazing games from these awesome movies that don't get any love (Or the respect they deserve) just sounds like a dream come true. I really hope they get to keep making games with some iconic licenses if they continue to make them just as good as RoboCop.
@@WadaMalone That would be amazing. Or even just playing as the Predator too would be an epic power fantasy, which they seem good at doing in the case of RoboCop. Going out and cutting your way through Xenomorphs with a combistaff sounds so epic.
Imagine, still adhering to their game development philosophy, they make us a lord of the rings game wich finally tackles all the plot on the book that were skipped by the movie?
@@bryanmerel I dunno, I'm not sure how they'd do with a fantasy setting, though RPG mechanics works... I'm thinking something more along the lines of Die Hard.
I played the demo, and what impressed me was how much these devs did with so little budget. Because it shows that game is low budget, but you can feel every dollar was carefully considered. They nailed gameplay, AND they nailed the atmosphere. When you are in it, it feels like a sidestory to the 1987 movie. Havent played the full game yet but i can tell you this game deserves all the praise. I cant even imagine what this studio can do with full AAA budget. Probably cause robocop to make a full return in popularity.
Teyon really went from making one of the worst video games ever made to creating two of the best video game adaptions of movies ever Honestly huge respect to them
@@SENATORPAIN1 I don't agree. They are average if you look at their respective budget but that's about it! These last 2 games they've made are full of passion and love, Terminator Resistance was so much fun I played that game non stop for weeks when I first discovered it. If a game is fun, then that's all that matters. I'm almost happy that these games don't have big triple As budgets because it feels more retro, it has a certain ''stifness'' to it, like it's not as smooth as most modern games. And for me it's kind of the reason why Terminator and Robocop feel the way they feel. It's like a perfect mix of retro and modern design, lovely.
@@SENATORPAIN1 They are not average lmfao. I dont finish "average" games. The Terminator game was better than any FPS Ubisoft put out in the last decade sans Farcry 3. It was in the same league as Alien Isolation as far as liscened games go and till at least a solid 8/10.
@@SENATORPAIN1 Average in terms of mechanics, perhaps. They are absolute love letters to fans of the franchises, and manage to be GOOD games in the way that they provide fun and entertainment. Not every game needs to be 100 hours of wandering a dead landscape with towns sprinkled between, or a AAA military shooter. It's okay to have a 10-12 hour long tight, enjoyable experience.
Let them make a proper DIE HARD Game. Ever since Terminator the love and care they put into an actual story and can tell were fans... give them some 80's gold. Can't wait for this one. Thanks for the reviews as always.
And this is wij we need more indies end not big know names hou make shit games wit stupid micro in game stores broken games stupid pronuse bullshit like cyberpunk 2077 dit in the update sow a deleted dat game end im sure indies wil take over the gameing cene 😊😊😊😊
@@Gatorade69 they can buy rights to his voice, voice him by different actor and use neural network to make it Bruce's voice. Bruce already sold rights for his image to be used with Deep Fake tech in some ads.
Man, that would be awesome, and probably more adequate for this type of "deus ex" approach than robocop itself. Let us handle the tower a la sandbox and take all the decisions about how to approach the situations.
Also I really liked how the attention to detail in this game was nailed on the head, as every time Robocop gets out his car, you see his foot, then only the top half of his body, a nice Easter egg as when they filmed the films, Peter Weller had to film those scenes in his car and getting out of his car wearing only the top half of the Robocop costume, while just being in his pants below, because he couldn’t fit in the car fully suited up. So a bit of cinema magic, they would show his foot touch the floor below the car door, then a top shot when he would get out the car not revealing his lower half, and I love how the game replicates that.
I really hope this becomes a trend taking classic 80s or even 90s movies and making true games of them with modern hardware. We've been seriously lacking good games and new ideas and this seems like the right answer
Exactly. So many great old movies that could be pretty fun games. This did remind me of the old "far cry blood dragon" game that was like an 80's movie with plenty of easter eggs etc. That was quite fun.
Out of all the reviews that came out today, this one GETS IT. Every other reviewers put the game on a high pedestal and compares it to major AAA FPS games. But the game should be reviewed based on how it is presented by itself and it is exactly that. A tribute to Robocop and the jankiness of the 80s. Defintely gonna buy it. FOR A DOLLAR.
You know another great thing? Compared to other new releases these days, it's actually reasonably priced on release. I'd buy this for whatever they charge me!
From what I got to play of the demo, as well as what I've seen from the reviews, this game's jank is in that sweetspot where it's just charming, and can *add* to the experience. You can always tell when a game is a labor of love, and the bugs are less a nuisance and more just loveable little quirks.
Also, the skin tone in the game is pretty realistic, the facial movements are somewhat odd, but it isn't as bad as they seem. It doesn't translate properly on YT.
Played it through on Hard. Not excessively hard, but challenging. Loved it. I generally shift from game to game as they come out without completing them as many have a hard time capturing my attention for more than 2 weeks. This one, I pushed all the way to the end. Great game.
If the full game represents what we played in the recent demo this is going to be a huge title. Real shame about the lack of a NG mode considering how many skills there are to unlock and you can't carry over though.
I think it kinda okay, like back in Diablo 2 when you have to decide what you want to build your character into, it encourage player to try different path in their playthrough. But it might not be necessary for game like this
@@thomasfalcon6350So worth doing then with all the iconography of John Rambo and a solid original story not seen in the old films. It would work. Nothing's wrong with being a Far Cry clone, if that's the inspiration so be it. I could say the same about this new Robocop game that it's just another mech hybrid skin from things like Titanfall or Armoured Core. All that's needed is some thought put into it which has been sorely lacking from devs in the last few years.
As for the lack of new game+, give them time. The Terminator game got some great stuff added post-release and I'm convinced they will do this if it sells well.
I just finished the game game and for me, it hit the right balance of exploring and taking breaks to do side missions before it through you into heavy combat. The story was great and it was just a great game all around. Nice work Teyon!
This has been my most anticipated game of the year since I found out the Terminator: Resitance guys made this one as well. I am a sucker for linear and simple dumb fun games related to old movies.
Robocop is not very linear or simple. In the demo there is an open world kind of area, where you pick quests and talk a lot. Makes the game feel really slow.
No, it does not really fit, I think. There was a quest in the demo (with the movie star I think) with zero combat. You just walk very slowly for 20 minutes, talk with annoying characters and click your 'detective vision'. It is far, very far from 'linear simple dumb fun game' the poster implies.@@ShatteredSight
You just reminded me of the awesome diehard trilogy games for the PS1. I remember getting the first level on a demo disk with my PS1 and playing it over and over one Christmas.
Those guys are a example of "learning from mistakes". They went from Rambo The Videogame to Terminator Resistance which was good and now Robocop and they hit it again.
You can really tell the devs poured their Heart and Soul into this game, heck, they seem to know how to make Video Games based on Movies better than big studios! I hope these guys continue releasing bangers
It's because an AA dev can avoid the bureaucracy involved in licensed games as being a tax write off or under financial pressure. You have stinkers like Gollum and Kong and of course Teyon's first go. But at the same time, there is more creative freedom and less pressure.
This reminds me so much of that Punisher game that came out in 2004. Not gameplay wise, but just in how they nailed the character and shooting mechanics. Excited to play this!
So much 80's cheese. Wholesomeness mixed with extreme violence-looks great. Lewis is there, it's somewhat of a buddy cop game, and Murphy giving that kid the thumbs up melts my heart
I want to see these guys do an escape from LA or Escape from New York game with Snake plissken in a stealth Action game! These guys should be in charge of every single 80's movie game
@@garudanathanael5257 One thing is for sure, there are plenty of awesome films out there to take advantage of in the right hands.... Teyon have done Terminator and Robocop which both seem awesome so far; so they seem trustworthy to handle these awesome films in game format with care
Its amazing how far Teyon have come. They went from making the disastrous shitfest Rambo game to the underrated Terminator Resistance, to a proper and kick ass Robocop game.
I genuinely can't believe that someone out there managed to make Robocop into an RPG with choices that have consequences and a decently deep skill system and make it work, like actually genuinely work. Like props to you Teyon, you guys went from that horrible rambo game to this, talk about a glow up
Almost like the old days of early ragdoll effects. I don't care if they were less realistic. So much damn fun just flinging people around. So happy to see that with small devs like this they can put stuff out like this. Gonna be the smaller mid range devs that save the gaming industry in the near future.
@@cenciende9401 There is lot to improve in the AA and AAA market. Lot of companys that few decades ago were gold standard nowdays make extremely mediocre games or just said fuck it and make mobile games. Wouldnt clump up indie games into that as they have their own niche and theres millions of them.
@@allthenamesiwantedweretaken You people are such reactionaries. You see 2 soulless cash grabs and instantly generalize the entire industry. Yes, monetization has become a problem in premium priced games. I am not denying that but to pretend like the gaming industry is "dying" is laughably untrue. It's like saying the indie games industry is "dying" because you saw 1 bad indie title.
I'd love it if Teyon did a Dredd game. It's crazy, I never would have thought that when Rambo came out but now a Dredd game from Teyon would be pretty rad.
And this is why I've been begging for more AA mid shelf games for so long. Sure these devs don't have the biggest worlds or longest story's but damn can they make some fun games.
Imagine playing a ultra violent game about a cyborg policeman who is killing criminals indiscriminately and afterwards going on twitter to make a complete ass of yourself by making brain dead takes about GTA. That’s calling the kettle black there
@@abstract314-wf4uxnot to mention a review of manhunt 2, which is considered one of the most violent video games ever made that led to it being banned in most countries. Like come on, dude, your videos are public
All this makes me wonder one thing, does he actually believe what he said or did his Twitter get hacked? Cause I'm curious why he made that tweet, just for morale bonus points?
RoboCop: Your hair looks lovely that way. Lewis: It's OCP. They did something to you. RoboCop: I'm fine. Isn't the moon wonderful tonight? Lewis: It's still daytime. RoboCop: It's the thought that counts. Lewis: Oh, Jesus! We're heading back to the station!
I hope they kick the big billion dollar developers arses and make a tonne of money from this to encourage the AAA studios to start doing it right again. Actually releasing a finished game would be a start if Teyon can do it the AAA's have no excuses. Dont be surprised to see a few hit pieces coming out for this company if this game sells well, because they're making the big devs look bad.
One example of the care given to the source material that I don't see many people talking about. Not only do they recreate some shots, they recreate the stop-motion animation look some of the robots have during cut scenes. The first few times it was subtle so I didn't quite put two and two together, but as more robots start showing up it finally dawned on my what they were going for. Someone had to have busted their butt lowering the frame rate to the right amount while painstakingly doing the animation work in those frames so it has the alien quality the animation in the movie had.
Honestly, I hope they give Rambo another go sometime. Applying everything they learned along the way. They seem to be the developers doing 80's media into video games, which is really unique and interesting.
what i loved the most about robocop was that it actually had a demo. Games need demos more then ever now, i can see why most games dont have demos no more as no one would buy them after playing the buggy and pants games that have been coming out recently. I miss the old days with demo discs and so on.
This game took my game of the year title even though I’d been waiting for Dead Island 2 for a decade. My reason for for making it #1 was because i never knew how much i wanted it and how enjoyable it is. My delight when i got an achievement for a nut shot and seeing all the nods to the movie made me smile constantly
I remember being enthralled by the original Robocop films as a kid, so this is like a belated dream come true. Much appreciation to Weller, too - the guy basically spent a good bit of the last 20 years working on his graduate degrees and teaching (including doing that stuff for the History Channel). Yet here he returns, in his 70s no less, to reprise the voice of a much-beloved character.
I remember putting on JackFrag's video of the Robocop demo as background noise and suddenly I was hooked from start to finish! Glad to see a super simple, surprisingly passionate PS2-ish movie tie-in game.
Lmao "this level" you mean trash? What is remotely good about this game? The gameplay is worse than fps games from 2006, it literally looks and feels like an arcade game. A real movie-licensed game that's actually good, is Peter Jackson King kong the original game. That is a masterpiece. To even say this is on the same level is a joke. Oh Americans, how little you need to get thoes tiny brains going
Damn. You single-handedly made me excited for this game. The early reviews months ago made it seem like a mindless shooter, but you went deep with this one and it really shines. Thank you very much!
I hope alot more people buy this game after this review, it has none of the BS from modern day game companies and is just good fun. I'd love to see the development team make a Judge Dredd, Terminator or Demolition Man game. That would be fantastic
Because of Teyon being such a small almost unknown developer I've never really even thought about playing any of their games. But when this one was announced I couldn't resist and went ahead and pre-ordered it and am so happy that I did. I am having such a good time with this game and don't want it to end. But this game being as good as it is and I keep seeing good things about Teyons Terminator game then I'm gonna go ahead and give that one a shot once I finish RoboCop.
If your a fan of the first two Terminator films you will love their Terminator Resistance. It really did feel like you were in the future that was shown in those first two movies. Plus it's also really fun
I replay "Terminator: Resistance" every now and then, so that's saying something. The game had problems with AI enemies being really dumb at first, but they've corrected it later with patches (though they're still not super-smart). The game has also different outcomes, depending on your actions, so that's something to remember, while playing😉 Without spoiling, there are some parts, where you can't fight Terminators, because you don't have a suitable weapons, so you have to avoid them, but these parts have epic atmosphere - and that comes from a guy, who normally hates sneaking...
So, so far these guys have done Terminator and Robocop. They need to do Predator, Blade Runner and Alien to complete the 80s iconic nostalgia. I'd love to see them tackle Judge Dredd, with an option to play through as classic Dredd or the 2012 version (I'd lean towards the 2012 version). I shared your concern after playing the demo GMan, so I'm glad to see that it's not as bad as all that.
Demolition Man, Total Recall, many classic 80s IP seriously need a game or two. Those movies had perfect world building material that can work so well in a game form.
I remember robocop. As a child I didn't appreciate it for what it was, but rewatching it...I definitely had shit opinions as a kid. I'm glad there is at least one person giving the characters in that universe the proper respect it deserves.
I always knew it was good and it still holds up pretty well. Its one of those old movies that's worth watching just for the practical effects. That scene with the cyborg tearing off his own face is still burned into my memory.
i beat the game in 16hrs. all of the NPCs looked like they had mustaches on their teeth under their lips. the game was fun, but buy it on sale. paying AAA prices for a game that short is fucking silly.
Can we just acknowledge the precision in these shooting clips. Gman really can aim and it makes this all feel very on point. Targeting heads, and almost like snapping onto the enemies making the gameplay feel robotic as well.
It's a little early to think about what their next project will be but I'd love to see them take on Dredd (2012) and their own spin on the Die Hard Trilogy (1996).
I think Die Hard would be quite boring (much too human and mortal protagonists for a game, and those limiting traits are what made Die Hard compelling in the first place), though I agree with the potential for Dredd. Punisher, also. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves has massive potential.
@@brianbaumgartner7223Nothing wrong with fighting humans. Actually I'm tired of the fact that every game now has to be about robots, zombies or mythical monsters.
Watching these devs improve and improve is so gratifying, not even just as a player but as a wannabe game designer. I was going to try it out anyway, but now you’ve got me giddy to play it.
So Glad to hear this game is good, I was really rooting for it. I'll definitely have to pick it up. I'd love to see the devs tackle the rambo franchise this time now that they know how to do it right, sort of make a soldier of fortune style game. If these guys got their hands on the aliens license that would be so badass. Their style of game stories plus like a tactical squad mechanic would be amazing, make us actually feel like colonial marines being hunted for once.
There was a bunch of stuff behind the scenes with the rights holders and Teyon didn't have nearly enough the cash to make the game they wanted with Rambo so it isn't all Teyon's fault on that one.
It looks to me like the Slo-Mo feels so satisfying, in part because of all of the other trappings, like the highlighting. You can see the enemies, the explosives, the places where you can ricochet off of, in addition to all of the visual effects, the muzzel flashes, the debris being ripped from the enviroment, the blood splurting from the stumps of enemy limbs, the sparks bouncing off of your armor, it all just adds together. These guys do presentation really well, I'm really impressed
Damn, hearing you suggest them making The Thing brought back memories of the original The Thing game. I would be so stoked if they could translate it into a new game.
I like to think it would be a Among Us but 3D first person perspective with triple A graphics lol Allthough truth be told, gameplay wise I don't know, they could add a lot of things that would make the immersion ground breaking even more than the gameplay aspects Among Us has
I feel like The Thing game would be kinda redundant, because where would you even place it? It can't be a prequel because thats covered by 2011 movie and can't be a sequel because we got both video game & book/comic
@@XOFInfantryman Then they just need be creative and make it's own thing somewhere else, no one ever said there was only one Thing It's a big planet we live in
"Dead or alive, you are coming-" GMan's usage of dad joke double entendres just keep getting more entertaining, especially after becoming a dad himself 😂
This game is a real jewel. It's the example that a little studio can meke a good game, not perfect, but with many details that many AAA games don't have. Thanks for your beautiful analysis
@@madmanjoe1002 basically, he said he hates violence against civilians and cops in video games on twitter, despite him praising his love for the gta games, making him look like a complete hypocrite and idiot. But the topic is not relevant anymore
I honestly thought this would be awful, but this just looks fucking great. As a fan of industrial aesthetic late 80s action films, this really nails that aesthetic.
Having Gman review your shooter and the largest complaint he has is he wishes he could play it more is big, now him saying that about your movie licensed game is absolutely a wonder to behold.
Wow I can't believe it actually is Peter Weller doing the voice! I have not followed the game super close and listening to it here, I just assumed it was someone doing a DAMN good Weller impression/some sort of modulation. I wasn't expecting the legend himself to come back but boy am I excited he did.
I stopped playing FPS' a while ago due to difficulty (I'm old af now lol) but I think I'm gonna give this a shot. I miss the more back to basic shooters where you just run around and blow shit up. And seeing how they nailed the feel of the movie... Holy shit this looks cool
Pro Tip: When you start running into enemies with body armor and helmets, aim for the nuts. It drops them with one shot in most cases. Even the heavies can be brought down that way. Once I figured this out, most of the second half of the game became a reenactment of Scene 27.
Words can't describe how amazing was Terminator Resistance for me. And looks like Teyon did it again - despite their technological shortcomings, they can create a magical atmosphere that makes you forget any minor (or even major) flaws. Call me a boomer or whatnot, but I miss these old movies. This review proved it once again that those guys deserve every single penny.
For the company that went from producing one of the worst shooters ever made, to making arguably one of 2023's best shooters? Bravo, Teyon. You've got more to give, and I know for a FACT I'm gonna be excited to see what else you have in store. By the way... ...it's been a while since we had a good Dredd game. Nudge-nudge.
This is one of those games I always wanted, but never thought I'd actually get. The game is far from perfect, but it nails every single thing that makes Robocop the enduring classic that it is. If you're a fan of Robocop, this is an absolute must-play and is another feather in the cap of the stellar year for releases that 2023 has been.
there's one thing i think they didn't nail. I don't have the game yet but by the info i've gathered, the music from the original score is underfeatured? I would have appreciated more epic cinematic music from the OST and/or similar stuff
@@WadaMalone the theme is very much present but is used sparingly. Different renditions of it are used throughout, like one for detective sequences, one for sombre story sequences, one in the menus, one for side quest related content. The original theme is used very rarely though, like at the very start of the game when you first take control of Robocop and a few times after that.
This review and this whole game is a direct hit on my childhood. I remember watching this in the theaters when I was 7 years old with my dad. We went and saw part 2 also. The rest were kinda corny. I'll probably buy this to show it to the old man and watch him light up.
This Dev Studio, despite somehow getting licenses to the best franchises, and everybody loving their games, saying "I actually feel like in the Terminator / Robocop universes" - But, this studio to me feels like a 1 1/2 A Studio. Despite using the Unreal Engine, their textures for Terminator & RoboCop are INCREDIBLY LOW RES - Like, 2004 Half-Life 2 Low Res... Everything is scripts and the AI on its own is just junk AI.. Barely able to have proper behavior and reactions as you would expect from a Modern Game. I truly think people love these games because of their Nostalgia Factor, and while there are a lot of gamers that prefer gameplay over graphics, I still find it repugnant that amount of polish felt to this game is on par with Bethesda's Fallout 3 (2008) for me personally Though thankfully with the lighting additions in RoboCop, and an added cinematic style touch, the game does look much better than Terminator, and let's many not notice to the low res textures of random assets
It's nice to see someone actually give a damn about these old movie games and not turn it into a cash grab
Yeah this game absolutely shines with the love and attention given by the devs.
supposedly their last game was on Rambo and it was horrible. atleast the studio is learning and growing.

I think a read somewhere that the auto9 can not be used by normal humans, as kicks like a mule. Only Robo and his grip can use it.
Thats actually kinda genius lol
I'm so happy for this team for going from a mockery (rambo) to a great passionate effort (terminator) to a fantastic game (robocop).

Was thinking the same thing
It's really interesting how they managed to make the slower paced movement work. The FPS trend lately has been high speed acrobatics but it makes way more sense for RoboCop to move a bit slowly and deliberately. I'm usually a big fan of complex movement but this still looks pretty fun.
First it was shmovement then boots on the ground, back to shmovement, and back to boots on the ground, and now it's starting shmovement again
My exact thought, I didn't expect the game to be so well received.
I’m getting sick of the “complex” movement. Bc it’s not complex, its just basic movement but really fast.

It helps that the devs didn’t try to adapt a movie script but Instead made their own original story while using the setting, lore, and characters.
RoboCop 1 was OK but The RoboCop original movie sequels were horrible with a big H. The propaganda was so subtle that they almost cheered for a Soviet victory of the Cold War.

"DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME"
Fucking gold.
Also his face.
Bonus points for that, they didnt have to, synthesizing the voice was completely understandable. Being a machine and all. But they did bring him back. this is my childhood come back to life and all i ever wanted from a Robocop game.

"Murphy"

Give me Commando!
or Starship Troopers
I love the fact that Peter Weller did the voicelines for this game. You can't go past getting the OG actor to voice the role when it comes to a game. Thank you for that!
The idea of Teyon just making a bunch of amazing games from these awesome movies that don't get any love (Or the respect they deserve) just sounds like a dream come true. I really hope they get to keep making games with some iconic licenses if they continue to make them just as good as RoboCop.
i would love a game centered around the original predator movie, where you can go into the jungle with Dutch and his rescue team
@@WadaMalone That would be amazing. Or even just playing as the Predator too would be an epic power fantasy, which they seem good at doing in the case of RoboCop. Going out and cutting your way through Xenomorphs with a combistaff sounds so epic.
ok
Not just RoboCop also Terminator resistance was pure awesome game!
can we get die hard next?
I love that, after Rambo and starting with Terminator, they really figured out their winning formula and developer identity
Imagine, still adhering to their game development philosophy, they make us a lord of the rings game wich finally tackles all the plot on the book that were skipped by the movie?
@@bryanmerel I dunno, I'm not sure how they'd do with a fantasy setting, though RPG mechanics works...

I played the demo, and what impressed me was how much these devs did with so little budget. Because it shows that game is low budget, but you can feel every dollar was carefully considered. They nailed gameplay, AND they nailed the atmosphere. When you are in it, it feels like a sidestory to the 1987 movie. Havent played the full game yet but i can tell you this game deserves all the praise. I cant even imagine what this studio can do with full AAA budget. Probably cause robocop to make a full return in popularity.
From "He's a man not a god" to this. Quite the redemption arc for Teyon.

Truly the comeback story of the ages.
Teyon really went from making one of the worst video games ever made to creating two of the best video game adaptions of movies ever
Honestly huge respect to them
They are still painfully average games though let's not pretend they are anything else
It seems like they've always had the passion, they just hadn't amassed the skills.
@@SENATORPAIN1 I don't agree. They are average if you look at their respective budget but that's about it! These last 2 games they've made are full of passion and love, Terminator Resistance was so much fun I played that game non stop for weeks when I first discovered it. If a game is fun, then that's all that matters. I'm almost happy that these games don't have big triple As budgets because it feels more retro, it has a certain ''stifness'' to it, like it's not as smooth as most modern games. And for me it's kind of the reason why Terminator and Robocop feel the way they feel. It's like a perfect mix of retro and modern design, lovely.
@@SENATORPAIN1 They are not average lmfao. I dont finish "average" games. The Terminator game was better than any FPS Ubisoft put out in the last decade sans Farcry 3. It was in the same league as Alien Isolation as far as liscened games go and till at least a solid 8/10.
@@SENATORPAIN1 Average in terms of mechanics, perhaps. They are absolute love letters to fans of the franchises, and manage to be GOOD games in the way that they provide fun and entertainment. Not every game needs to be 100 hours of wandering a dead landscape with towns sprinkled between, or a AAA military shooter. It's okay to have a 10-12 hour long tight, enjoyable experience.
Let them make a proper DIE HARD Game. Ever since Terminator the love and care they put into an actual story and can tell were fans... give them some 80's gold. Can't wait for this one. Thanks for the reviews as always.
DUUUUDEE. A diehard game is an instant buy for me. I played the fuck out of Diehard trilogy when I was little😭
And this is wij we need more indies end not big know names hou make shit games wit stupid micro in game stores broken games stupid pronuse bullshit like cyberpunk 2077 dit in the update sow a deleted dat game end im sure indies wil take over the gameing cene 😊😊😊😊
Unfortunately you couldn't get Bruce Willis to reprise the role...
@@Gatorade69 they can buy rights to his voice, voice him by different actor and use neural network to make it Bruce's voice. Bruce already sold rights for his image to be used with Deep Fake tech in some ads.
Man, that would be awesome, and probably more adequate for this type of "deus ex" approach than robocop itself. Let us handle the tower a la sandbox and take all the decisions about how to approach the situations.
Also I really liked how the attention to detail in this game was nailed on the head, as every time Robocop gets out his car, you see his foot, then only the top half of his body, a nice Easter egg as when they filmed the films, Peter Weller had to film those scenes in his car and getting out of his car wearing only the top half of the Robocop costume, while just being in his pants below, because he couldn’t fit in the car fully suited up. So a bit of cinema magic, they would show his foot touch the floor below the car door, then a top shot when he would get out the car not revealing his lower half, and I love how the game replicates that.
I never knew that! God that's so fucking cool!
I really hope this becomes a trend taking classic 80s or even 90s movies and making true games of them with modern hardware. We've been seriously lacking good games and new ideas and this seems like the right answer
wierdly enough
Absolutely true, when things were fun, campy, gory and beautiful women were celebrated compared to today and everything offends, weak people
Imagine a Die Hard game done with this passion.....OMG YO.
Exactly. So many great old movies that could be pretty fun games. This did remind me of the old "far cry blood dragon" game that was like an 80's movie with plenty of easter eggs etc. That was quite fun.
Lacking new ideas. Solutioin: recycle old ideas.
Out of all the reviews that came out today, this one GETS IT. Every other reviewers put the game on a high pedestal and compares it to major AAA FPS games. But the game should be reviewed based on how it is presented by itself and it is exactly that. A tribute to Robocop and the jankiness of the 80s. Defintely gonna buy it. FOR A DOLLAR.
You know another great thing? Compared to other new releases these days, it's actually reasonably priced on release. I'd buy this for whatever they charge me!
From what I got to play of the demo, as well as what I've seen from the reviews, this game's jank is in that sweetspot where it's just charming, and can *add* to the experience. You can always tell when a game is a labor of love, and the bugs are less a nuisance and more just loveable little quirks.
wtf are you on?
He also recognised the fact that this game is made by a small dev team, not a huge AAA mega budget project by a huge company
This is how you adapt a classic movie into game. The demo alone sold me on how authentic this game feels.
Is the classic theme in it?
@@jamespaul6315yes and it is perfect
@@ProfSplendorFaction thank you sir
Also, the skin tone in the game is pretty realistic, the facial movements are somewhat odd, but it isn't as bad as they seem. It doesn't translate properly on YT.
Played it through on Hard. Not excessively hard, but challenging. Loved it. I generally shift from game to game as they come out without completing them as many have a hard time capturing my attention for more than 2 weeks. This one, I pushed all the way to the end. Great game.
If the full game represents what we played in the recent demo this is going to be a huge title. Real shame about the lack of a NG mode considering how many skills there are to unlock and you can't carry over though.
Honestly, that should be something they can patch in, in the next couple of months, to keep it going.
They may add one post launch too tho, maybe via some DLC etc. It is a AA so time is precious lol
Their last "Terminator: Resistance" game had DLC and a few updates I think. I'm sure they will do the same here.
@@REKTNA and if they don't, someone will surely make a mod in due time :)
I think it kinda okay, like back in Diablo 2 when you have to decide what you want to build your character into, it encourage player to try different path in their playthrough. But it might not be necessary for game like this
"Stomping around dystopic Detroit..." That's actually just regular Detroit portrayed accurately
Except that Robocop's Detroit is surprisingly white.
@@MrSaywutnow so it’s more like West Virginia then
I was thinking the word dystopic is a bit redundant.
Nah. Detriot is nice now. It's been thru gentrification
The hell it is.
Detroit is 92% black.
This is a utopian version of what current exists.
The studio that when from an abysmal Rambo game to great Terminator and Robocop games. What an impressive turnaround.
So should they return to a new Rambo game now they've got the right sauce?
@@tobyflagg8058 Abso-fuckin-lutely
@@tobyflagg8058 Tbh a good Rambo game would basically be a Far Cry clone. It's the only thing that makes sense. And Far Cry already exists, so...
@@thomasfalcon6350So worth doing then with all the iconography of John Rambo and a solid original story not seen in the old films. It would work. Nothing's wrong with being a Far Cry clone, if that's the inspiration so be it. I could say the same about this new Robocop game that it's just another mech hybrid skin from things like Titanfall or Armoured Core. All that's needed is some thought put into it which has been sorely lacking from devs in the last few years.
As for the lack of new game+, give them time. The Terminator game got some great stuff added post-release and I'm convinced they will do this if it sells well.
Exactly
Im sure it will.
Wait... Which terminator game?
@@richardspillers6282 Teyon's Terminator: Resistance
@@richardspillers6282 I think it's called Terminator: Resistance on Steam
I just finished the game game and for me, it hit the right balance of exploring and taking breaks to do side missions before it through you into heavy combat. The story was great and it was just a great game all around. Nice work Teyon!
This has been my most anticipated game of the year since I found out the Terminator: Resitance guys made this one as well. I am a sucker for linear and simple dumb fun games related to old movies.
Reminds me of the ps2 days
Robocop is not very linear or simple. In the demo there is an open world kind of area, where you pick quests and talk a lot. Makes the game feel really slow.
@@Arifmeticusit fits RoboCop, it's not meant to be fast paced COD
No, it does not really fit, I think. There was a quest in the demo (with the movie star I think) with zero combat. You just walk very slowly for 20 minutes, talk with annoying characters and click your 'detective vision'. It is far, very far from 'linear simple dumb fun game' the poster implies.@@ShatteredSight

You just reminded me of the awesome diehard trilogy games for the PS1. I remember getting the first level on a demo disk with my PS1 and playing it over and over one Christmas.
bro thats an amazing idea!
Those guys are a example of "learning from mistakes". They went from Rambo The Videogame to Terminator Resistance which was good and now Robocop and they hit it again.
Its nice to see.
Man, to go from that awful Rambo game to Terminator: Resistance and now this... talk about a redemption arc.
You can really tell the devs poured their Heart and Soul into this game, heck, they seem to know how to make Video Games based on Movies better than big studios!
I hope these guys continue releasing bangers
It's because an AA dev can avoid the bureaucracy involved in licensed games as being a tax write off or under financial pressure. You have stinkers like Gollum and Kong and of course Teyon's first go. But at the same time, there is more creative freedom and less pressure.

Reboot Rambo, Dredd, or Equilibrium
I wanna see them try their hand at a Judge Dredd game!!!
Yes!
One example of the care given to the source material that I don't see many people talking about. Not only do they recreate some shots, they recreate the stop-motion animation look some of the robots have during cut scenes. The first few times it was subtle so I didn't quite put two and two together, but as more robots start showing up it finally dawned on my what they were going for. Someone had to have busted their butt lowering the frame rate to the right amount while painstakingly doing the animation work in those frames so it has the alien quality the animation in the movie had.
Honestly, I hope they give Rambo another go sometime. Applying everything they learned along the way. They seem to be the developers doing 80's media into video games, which is really unique and interesting.
what i loved the most about robocop was that it actually had a demo. Games need demos more then ever now, i can see why most games dont have demos no more as no one would buy them after playing the buggy and pants games that have been coming out recently. I miss the old days with demo discs and so on.
A Total Recall game by these guys would be awesome maybe set after the movie or Blade Runner?
Blade runner isn't really an action film, I think we need something similar to the Westwood game, maybe like Shadows Of Doubt

I remember being enthralled by the original Robocop films as a kid, so this is like a belated dream come true. Much appreciation to Weller, too - the guy basically spent a good bit of the last 20 years working on his graduate degrees and teaching (including doing that stuff for the History Channel). Yet here he returns, in his 70s no less, to reprise the voice of a much-beloved character.

Stop thinking you need to buy small studio games just because they’re not “the man”.
Sadly I don't have the money right now, but I'm definitely buying this gem with my next salary
They did Terminator Resistance
Because of Teyon being such a small almost unknown developer I've never really even thought about playing any of their games. But when this one was announced I couldn't resist and went ahead and pre-ordered it and am so happy that I did. I am having such a good time with this game and don't want it to end. But this game being as good as it is and I keep seeing good things about Teyons Terminator game then I'm gonna go ahead and give that one a shot once I finish RoboCop.
If your a fan of the first two Terminator films you will love their Terminator Resistance. It really did feel like you were in the future that was shown in those first two movies. Plus it's also really fun
Same, gonna buy terminator resistance after playing this
I replay "Terminator: Resistance" every now and then, so that's saying something. The game had problems with AI enemies being really dumb at first, but they've corrected it later with patches (though they're still not super-smart). The game has also different outcomes, depending on your actions, so that's something to remember, while playing😉
Without spoiling, there are some parts, where you can't fight Terminators, because you don't have a suitable weapons, so you have to avoid them, but these parts have epic atmosphere - and that comes from a guy, who normally hates sneaking...
So, so far these guys have done Terminator and Robocop. They need to do Predator, Blade Runner and Alien to complete the 80s iconic nostalgia. I'd love to see them tackle Judge Dredd, with an option to play through as classic Dredd or the 2012 version (I'd lean towards the 2012 version). I shared your concern after playing the demo GMan, so I'm glad to see that it's not as bad as all that.
We could have a proper Predator Game by these people
(Hunting Grounds dosen't count)
Demolition Man, Total Recall, many classic 80s IP seriously need a game or two. Those movies had perfect world building material that can work so well in a game form.
Early 2000s video games cause violence hysteria was the sword you fall on. Rip you were one of the good ones
I remember robocop. As a child I didn't appreciate it for what it was, but rewatching it...I definitely had shit opinions as a kid. I'm glad there is at least one person giving the characters in that universe the proper respect it deserves.
As a lifelong Robocop fan, it makes me so happy to see him have a great game. It was also so cool to see him appear in MK and even Fortnite.
I always knew it was good and it still holds up pretty well. Its one of those old movies that's worth watching just for the practical effects. That scene with the cyborg tearing off his own face is still burned into my memory.
While buggy and not well optimized at the moment, I can say it's the best game from a movie I played. I was dreaming of a game like this in the 80's.
It’ll improve with patching. Terminator resistance was very buggy on release but has drastically improved over the last few years.
@@Jesusmcjimmy Not an excuse.

i beat the game in 16hrs. all of the NPCs looked like they had mustaches on their teeth under their lips. the game was fun, but buy it on sale. paying AAA prices for a game that short is fucking silly.
Can we just acknowledge the precision in these shooting clips. Gman really can aim and it makes this all feel very on point. Targeting heads, and almost like snapping onto the enemies making the gameplay feel robotic as well.
I haven’t played the game and I genuinely thought it had some lore aim assist with it being robo cop looked like a John wick montage 😂
"On point"... I see what you did there.
someone moved to California.
It's a little early to think about what their next project will be but I'd love to see them take on Dredd (2012) and their own spin on the Die Hard Trilogy (1996).
I think Die Hard would be quite boring (much too human and mortal protagonists for a game, and those limiting traits are what made Die Hard compelling in the first place), though I agree with the potential for Dredd. Punisher, also. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves has massive potential.
Id like to see their take on the Starship Troopers license
@@brianbaumgartner7223Nothing wrong with fighting humans. Actually I'm tired of the fact that every game now has to be about robots, zombies or mythical monsters.
@@brianbaumgartner7223Die Hard would an amazing game if it's something like Max Payne games.
Watching these devs improve and improve is so gratifying, not even just as a player but as a wannabe game designer.
I was going to try it out anyway, but now you’ve got me giddy to play it.
So Glad to hear this game is good, I was really rooting for it. I'll definitely have to pick it up. I'd love to see the devs tackle the rambo franchise this time now that they know how to do it right, sort of make a soldier of fortune style game. If these guys got their hands on the aliens license that would be so badass. Their style of game stories plus like a tactical squad mechanic would be amazing, make us actually feel like colonial marines being hunted for once.
There was a bunch of stuff behind the scenes with the rights holders and Teyon didn't have nearly enough the cash to make the game they wanted with Rambo so it isn't all Teyon's fault on that one.
it's been a fun one to play through and good to see Robocop in hands of developers that really wanted to do the franchise justice and delivered.
It looks to me like the Slo-Mo feels so satisfying, in part because of all of the other trappings, like the highlighting. You can see the enemies, the explosives, the places where you can ricochet off of, in addition to all of the visual effects, the muzzel flashes, the debris being ripped from the enviroment, the blood splurting from the stumps of enemy limbs, the sparks bouncing off of your armor, it all just adds together. These guys do presentation really well, I'm really impressed
Damn, hearing you suggest them making The Thing brought back memories of the original The Thing game. I would be so stoked if they could translate it into a new game.
I like to think it would be a Among Us but 3D first person perspective with triple A graphics lol
Allthough truth be told, gameplay wise I don't know, they could add a lot of things that would make the immersion ground breaking even more than the gameplay aspects Among Us has

I hoped we'd get a Robocop game at some point, but I'd never expected to get an action-packed im-sim with moral choices and voiced by Murphy himself.
Your videos are becoming more and more professional and funny. its cool to see your evolution during the years.
I honestly thought this would be awful, but this just looks fucking great. As a fan of industrial aesthetic late 80s action films, this really nails that aesthetic.
So glad that you're being honest this time.
@@ChrisP3000x yeah, i probably overuse the word honestly, honestly
@@thecstineman Honestly its an honest mistake. And I'm being honest this time, unlike the other comment where I didn't claim to be honest.
Having Gman review your shooter and the largest complaint he has is he wishes he could play it more is big, now him saying that about your movie licensed game is absolutely a wonder to behold.
Wow I can't believe it actually is Peter Weller doing the voice! I have not followed the game super close and listening to it here, I just assumed it was someone doing a DAMN good Weller impression/some sort of modulation. I wasn't expecting the legend himself to come back but boy am I excited he did.
He did come back to the role for Mortal Kombat a few years ago, after all.
@@mdmn-ARCA oh really? I didn't know that. I haven't played or followed fighting games in like 20 years, genre just isn't for me anymore.
I stopped playing FPS' a while ago due to difficulty (I'm old af now lol) but I think I'm gonna give this a shot.
I miss the more back to basic shooters where you just run around and blow shit up.
And seeing how they nailed the feel of the movie... Holy shit this looks cool
Pro Tip: When you start running into enemies with body armor and helmets, aim for the nuts. It drops them with one shot in most cases. Even the heavies can be brought down that way.
Once I figured this out, most of the second half of the game became a reenactment of Scene 27.
Hope the G in your name stands for "grass", 'cuz you could seriously use touching some!
Words can't describe how amazing was Terminator Resistance for me. And looks like Teyon did it again - despite their technological shortcomings, they can create a magical atmosphere that makes you forget any minor (or even major) flaws. Call me a boomer or whatnot, but I miss these old movies. This review proved it once again that those guys deserve every single penny.
These guys are among the darkest horses one would see on the gaming scene :)
the Mitch McConnell joke took me right the fuck out 😂 holy shit GMan, good one.
He has a knack for that. It's funny as hell. Easily the best CC on this platform~
you have the charisma of a wooden table
Hehe
For the company that went from producing one of the worst shooters ever made, to making arguably one of 2023's best shooters?
Bravo, Teyon. You've got more to give, and I know for a FACT I'm gonna be excited to see what else you have in store.
By the way...
...it's been a while since we had a good Dredd game.
Nudge-nudge.
This is one of those games I always wanted, but never thought I'd actually get. The game is far from perfect, but it nails every single thing that makes Robocop the enduring classic that it is. If you're a fan of Robocop, this is an absolute must-play and is another feather in the cap of the stellar year for releases that 2023 has been.
there's one thing i think they didn't nail. I don't have the game yet but by the info i've gathered, the music from the original score is underfeatured? I would have appreciated more epic cinematic music from the OST and/or similar stuff
@@WadaMalone the theme is very much present but is used sparingly. Different renditions of it are used throughout, like one for detective sequences, one for sombre story sequences, one in the menus, one for side quest related content. The original theme is used very rarely though, like at the very start of the game when you first take control of Robocop and a few times after that.
Literally one of the best years in gaming history. lol@@Grandmastergav86
@@Grandmastergav86please enlighten us.
This review and this whole game is a direct hit on my childhood. I remember watching this in the theaters when I was 7 years old with my dad. We went and saw part 2 also. The rest were kinda corny. I'll probably buy this to show it to the old man and watch him light up.
This Dev Studio, despite somehow getting licenses to the best franchises, and everybody loving their games, saying "I actually feel like in the Terminator / Robocop universes" - But, this studio to me feels like a 1 1/2 A Studio. Despite using the Unreal Engine, their textures for Terminator & RoboCop are INCREDIBLY LOW RES - Like, 2004 Half-Life 2 Low Res...
Everything is scripts and the AI on its own is just junk AI.. Barely able to have proper behavior and reactions as you would expect from a Modern Game.
I truly think people love these games because of their Nostalgia Factor, and while there are a lot of gamers that prefer gameplay over graphics, I still find it repugnant that amount of polish felt to this game is on par with Bethesda's Fallout 3 (2008) for me personally
Though thankfully with the lighting additions in RoboCop, and an added cinematic style touch, the game does look much better than Terminator, and let's many not notice to the low res textures of random assets
This game looks like some good screenshot food. I love how high fidelity all of the models are and the colour palette is top notch.
It looks fantastic, really captures the 'feel' of the film. I'm pleased for them and hope they make lots of money and fans.
