Thank you for the great video on the game. I'm the Producer on the game and it's great to see people 'get' what we are doing. Really hope everybody enjoys it when it's released in December.
Hi there and thank you so much for making this game. Glad you enjoyed the video. I know people often mention why Legion instead of the Skynet timeline but I see it as: 1) a cheaper license 2) more freedom to work with 3) almost no fan expectations to go wrong with I wish you much success in December and can't wait to play the whole game
@@perafilozof I know the thoughts on Skynet vs Legion (we see it often). The licence for the game is Dark Fate (not because it was cheaper, but because that was the latest film, and games take many years to develop so began before release). So, this is the timeline the game exists in. However, we have set the game in between the events of the Dark Fate movies Judgement Day and the Future War that is seen in the film, so it has allowed us freedom to bring in machine types and tell the story that we want, without being tied to any given storyline. Though, part of what we hope is that we can see how we get to the future war seen in the Dark Fate movie. And the focus has been to create an enjoyable game with great battlefield action and control, with an interesting storyline that hopefully oozes the feel of Terminator!
Ah I see. Thank you for expanding on that point. Not being limited by the setting usually is very good and lets developers work with fewer constraints. I also prefer games that expand a universe instead of just recreating it. @@mhardisty
Hi, that is great to read. I do hope you enjoy it, it will be released in like 7,8 days. You can see many more such games on my playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CFpLi_MlTb6PIgLkXQM632Y.html
Hehe that is the kind of enthusiastic gamer I want to see in my comments! Finally some one who doesn't mid Legion instead of Skynet. A good game is a good game, no mater the lore behind it. What are you playing now btw?
Hi, thank you for sharing your thoughts about it. I wouldn't necessarily say better, but good in the same way. A great time to be an RTS fan in anycase.
Yeah, they both look fun but surprisingly Terminator seems more realistic where Broken Arrow more arcade. Thought it would be the other way around. It sure is great time bud :)@@perafilozof
You can play as the Machines (Legion, not Skynet) in the Skirmish and Multiplayer modes in the final game (Machines can be played in the demo skirmish). We are also looking to release new campaign missions from the Machines point of view in 2024. (I am the Producer on the game).
Indeed, no base building. You will have unit customization and trade between missions. Thx for the comment. Interesting comparison with Earth 2140. That was a really strange game.
@@perafilozof heh thanks:)) yeah a bit strange with a peculiar colour pallete and juicy explosions. Will download the terminator demo on steam today. Thanks for a video keep up with a good work 👍👍
@perafilozof To be honest, From what I've seen, I kinda like how it portrays modern warfare. Too many strategy games, have only portrayed a cartoon parody of it.
@perafilozof With Global Mapping, spread into sectors. What we can do is that with what sectors you fought and won from the enemy, you can build and manufacture units from there. But just as you fought and won them, so too can the enemy retake them.
@perafilozof That's because at the end of the day, no matter how careful you are, you will have Casualties. You will need to replenish your forces sooner or later. Scavenging alone can get you so far.
Is this about the last movie where they reset the lore and ditch decades of Terminator history or is based in the original timeline with Skynet and John Connor?
@@perafilozof😕 the original timeline would have been perfect for a history/character driven game like C&C Tiberian wars. Just the narrative element I mean, I'm all in for this style of gameplay but I am disappointed that I'm not going to get another part of Connor's war in the dark future...
@@egillskallagrimson5879 this one was undoubtedly cheaper to pay for and left more room open to create an original story inside that universe. So I totally understand why the developers went with it.
Hey Mark, this game has me excited and im looking forward to playing its unique take on the RTS genre. What development studio is working on this game? I saw it was originally 'Cats who Play' but i'm not sure who currently has it? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi and welcome to my channel. Not Mark, but I will try to answer: The original developers stopped working on it a while back. It was finished by the internal team at the publisher.
Unfortunately, this is the aesthic and what it actually looks like in the movies. Plus, it's meant to look realistic. In real life, warzones are actually very dull looking.
@@jonathanj.3695 I don't care about "real life", my dude. I care about marching my army of Terminators to eliminate all signs of human activity. Seek and destroy! And I would like to do it on nice looking maps 🙂
@@perafilozof as soon as you said "no base building" I remembered DoW 2. I loved that game but oddly there hadn't been any worthy successor until now as far as I know.
This looks like a Syrian Warfare Ripoff which I love it but with much less political shenanigans. I see it's almost a 1 to 1 copy in mechanics. Munitions, weapons systems, vehicles and crews, repair systems, no building, no unit creation on map just the hardcore one shot missions having to customise your forces before battle. If you haven't play Syrian Warfare I recommend you to give it a try I'm quite sure your gonna love it is the most brutal and well done RTS I've played in years. I'm gonna play this one for sure.
Hi and thank you for the comment. I know of it, looked it over quite well, haven't played it myself. I didn't bring it up as the team which made that game, and started this one, didn't actually finish it and also the Whole Syria and Russia thing is just bad PR for everyone. That they know how to make a good tactical game is beyond obvious now. Some talented folks they are.
I can totally understand that. Before I was a content creator I had to pick and choose very wisely what to buy. I will let you know if I see any giveaways or organize my own. Thx for the comment!
@@perafilozof It look like a duck quack like duck it is a duck.... Starcraft. Not everyone have the ability to "get good" I'm sure it will sell decent but it will not be anymore then that. For you see in the comment " tempest rising" a old school rts is having more eyes then any other game (expert Homeworld PLZ BR FUCKING GOOD)
Don't take away the control from the player. Make the goals more clear and open to the player from the beginning. Allow different strategies. More freedom - don't force the player to play a certain way. Allow to call in reinforcements, allow to repair, allow to make defences and traps. A bit more like Company of Heroes. Doing good gamedesign is highly complex and hard and you need a lot of trial and error. You can copy it from others or spend a lot of time inventing a good & original game loop. But this comes with a lot of risk taking. @@perafilozof
Thank you for expanding on your previous comment. There is repair in this game btw and you can call in air support while reinforcements are usually scripted as you get new units from your allies mid battle. You can see more about that in my previous video: th-cam.com/video/e9yUkT-FRyk/w-d-xo.html

I’m glad RTS are not dead I just hope will find this channel
Thank you for the comment and I am happy to be able to share all the RTS news I come across
This is one of the games I am really looking forward to, good video Pera!
Thank you kindly Orco! Glad to hear that, should be out in December.
Looks realy good. Cant wait to try out. Thank you for sharing.

I'm totally getting this game once it gets fully released. As a Terminator fan and a lover of RTS games, this is a match made in heaven.
Hehe that is the kind of enthusiastic gamer I want to see in my comments! Finally some one who doesn't mid Legion instead of Skynet. A good game is a good game, no mater the lore behind it.
What are you playing now btw?
@perafilozof Right now I'm getting into Starsector. It's a mixture of RTS, grand strategy and a space sandbox game.
@@jonathanj.3695 nice choice! Maybe move to Galactic Civilizations IV after that to take a rest from real time :)
@@perafilozof Galactic Civilizations has definitely been on my radar.
I am glad to hear that!
I'm positively surprised on how deep the gameplay is, this may be better than Broken Arrow
Hi, thank you for sharing your thoughts about it. I wouldn't necessarily say better, but good in the same way. A great time to be an RTS fan in anycase.
Yeah, they both look fun but surprisingly Terminator seems more realistic where Broken Arrow more arcade. Thought it would be the other way around. It sure is great time bud :)@@perafilozof
@@badinq3206 interesting comparison there. I didn't look at it that way before.
Do let me know what part of the game do you like the most so far and why?
Thanks for covering cool indie games as always! Do you know if we can play as Skynet in the campaign? Would be instant buy for me if we can.
Hi, this isn't a story of Skynet but Legion. Same franchise, different universe. And no, you can't play as the machines in the Singleplayer.
You can play as the Machines (Legion, not Skynet) in the Skirmish and Multiplayer modes in the final game (Machines can be played in the demo skirmish). We are also looking to release new campaign missions from the Machines point of view in 2024. (I am the Producer on the game).
Hi there, thank you for the answer! Glad to see you here. Can you please make a top level comment so I can pin it below the video ?@@mhardisty
Thats awesome since I feel like everybody has a story to tell in this@@mhardisty
It reminds me a bit of that old Polish game Earth 2140 from 1997 lol. The bullets, missile, explosions look really juicy, heavy. No base building?
Indeed, no base building. You will have unit customization and trade between missions. Thx for the comment. Interesting comparison with Earth 2140. That was a really strange game.
@@perafilozof heh thanks:)) yeah a bit strange with a peculiar colour pallete and juicy explosions. Will download the terminator demo on steam today. Thanks for a video keep up with a good work 👍👍
I am glad to hear that. Enjoy and thank you!
I do hope that their is still a way that you can manufacture units.
Well... maybe it is best you try it out now with the demo and later with the full release to make sure you really need that option.
@perafilozof To be honest, From what I've seen, I kinda like how it portrays modern warfare. Too many strategy games, have only portrayed a cartoon parody of it.
Ah good point there. I agree. And it is something I like too.@@ThePaculdop

The other one... but it doesn't mater much, the developers too lots of freedom and just used the setting far more than the story.

I hope there will be a greater variety of maps. Grey quickly gets boring.
So far I know of desert, city ruins, forests, mountain terrain

Looks like we finally will have another dawn of war 2 style RPG game.
Interesting comparison. Not exactly, but not so unlike either. Thank you for the comment!
@@perafilozof as soon as you said "no base building" I remembered DoW 2. I loved that game but oddly there hadn't been any worthy successor until now as far as I know.

None your base are belong to us! 'Cause you ain't got no base!
Haha good one mate!
Yeah.
Not playing.
Just gonna watch people play
But if steam sell it cheap i might get it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it with us. Can you name any particular reason?
@@perafilozof

For you see in the comment " tempest rising" a old school rts is having more eyes then any other game (expert Homeworld PLZ BR FUCKING GOOD)
This game will have a full single player campaign so if you are referring to getting good in multiplayer that is not an important issue in this game.
Very poor framerate, rough-looking, fairly dull, controls unresponsive. Needs more work.
Strange. I had a totally opposite experience. Is your PC configuration meeting the recommended requirements?
I didn't like the demo. Game has a lot of potential, great presentation, audio and atmosphere, but incredible boring gameplay / mission design.
I am sorry to hear that. What would make it interesting in your view?
