These devs have mastered a niche yet strangely lucrative business model of making first person shooter game based off of 80s movies and it’s strange to see them be so successful.
They did a piss-poor job with their first game Rambo from 2014 but they've really done a good job evolving and strengthening their craft since then. It's the fate I wish for any and every developer that struggles with making something decent at-first.
This is what people mean when they say they want lower budget games... if that AAA crash is really happening, this type of game will thrive, which I'm ok with. Really feels like the devs had fun, even if it's not the best ever
That crash is going to happen. The bloat is getting severe and games like Baldurs Gate 3 are showing the executives that most gamers are losing interest in modern live service schlock (they lost interest years ago but BG3 is the kind of game that made higher ups take notice). I think we are going to start seeing larger game publishers take some risks again. Maybe EA will let Bioware do something that isn't a live service nightmare and maybe Microsoft will start using some of the smaller IP's that they now own. Maybe they will finally let Rare make another game that isn't that pirate game. Maybe Activision and Ubisoft will release something that's not dog shit.
@@novelezra this is cope that people say every year yet the live service schlock continues to bring in profits because guess what MTX and gambling is incredibly profitable!
Actually one of the hopes I had after watching this. Tackling an IP like Alien would be cool but I'd rather see Judge Dredd. Horribly underrepresented in games. I only recall a crappy one from the gamecube era
Honestly I'd love to see this team take a crack at a Planet of the Apes games. I think the corny acting would fit the characters great and they would have lots of material to pull from.
I was sold on this game already, but the Rare/Datadyne comparison sold me even more. The Bullet time and grey office environments give me major FEAR vibes, too.
Perfect Dark was great. Puts many modern games to shame with the amount of content Rare put into 1 N64 cartridge. Hoping Microsoft doesn't butcher the reboot like they've done Halo.
Reminder: There's a PC port of Perfect Dark, and it's got some early netplay multiplayer implemented recently. It's pretty good. Marginally less janky than 1964 GEPD, and it's getting better slowly but surely. *Must legitimately own a legally dumped copy of Perfect Dark for the N64 game console but be too cheap to buy a cartridge dumper and also own an incredibly specific version of the game because these console game PC decompiles always do this*
I low key want to see them make a Predator game. Imagine a stealth hunting game where you can upgrade the Predator's gadgets and swap visors like Metroid Prime. I'd play that.
As a huge Robocop fan, this game is honestly a dream come true, their next game should be Starship Troopers, I would love to see this team tackle one of the best sci fi films of all time.
RoboCop rogue City is such a Good God damn impressive masterpiece, This game was very fateful to the original movies from the '80s and they absolutely nailed it!
I'm glad you added that little part about being able to both use controller and mouse for the steam deck, the track pad mouse is a godsend for fps games and it's really frustrating when that feature doesn't work properly, especially in older games
The bugs were there for me, but I guess I lucked out on no consistent crashing. Had a great time with it. Personally hope for a single player Starship Troopers campaign if Aliens doesn't work out.
Yeah, we only got one Starship Troopers single player focused FPS and it wasn't great nor is it available on current consoles and pc. Starship Troopers Extermination looked fun, but I prefer single player focused games.
9:19 - Weird. I played through the whole game on PC right around when it was released, after the very first patch, and I never encountered this bug on PC. Though the only time I really used full auto was one of the last PCBs were it is paired with the auto loader so perhaps the bug is PCB specific. Actually I'm surprised how many bugs you encountered. I encountered some but not this many. The big issues I found was that it appears the game was rendering the lighting very extremely in that things would go from well lit to the darkest pits of hell. Like the front of the police station is pitch black. I played it on Windows 10 on a GPDWIN4. The first model, with the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U with integrated graphics. The one thing I did encounter were crashes when loading cinematics, but that seems to have some relation to graphics settings though the behavior was inconsistent.
I only encountered three specific bugs: Corpses talking after they die, Auto-saves disappearing when exiting the game (happened twice), and the game running at 5fps when launching for the first time, which, was fixed by changing the frame rate from Unlimited to 60. Overall, a fantastic freaking game and I can't wait to see what they come up with next (hope it is an Aliens game with marines).
Administering too much Nuke to your nostrils will make you spontaneously and randomly T-pose. It's like a bad twitch, the kind that randomly sends you out a window when you're in your home relaxing and having some *Oreos* These googly eyed Batman thugs are so good at marketing, even some of the cops are on it.
This is literally one of the best reviews I ever seen. So detailed, funny, accurate, and not completely biased. Well I am only a little over 5 minutes in but I'm sure I will agree at the end. lol
If you were to get Yathzee, Nerrel scion of Nurgle and.. that one asian guy yungyea? Abd blend them together perfect one. Nerrel can nail some stuff then be the audio equivalent of that numb agent dentists use hitting your tongue.
Love Nerrel too, along Dunkey, they have such defined taste that's easy to understand if they don't like a particular game, unlike big reviewers like IGN
@@tedpilledtonysoprano5512 The only thing I don't trust his opinions on is when he talks about difficulty. There were too many instances in past reviews we're he was over blowing how hard certain sections or bosses were because of either ignorance or poor play. Metroid Dread especially comes to mind, when he complained about the purple EMMI and how unfair and hard is to pass that section due to it being mostly submerged, without realizing that there's magnetic walls everywhere to zip to with the grapple beam. And given that he openly admits to not being very sure when criticizing this kind of thing by either checking the gameplay of streamers or using google to look up if other people have similar issues kinda says it all. I still love his videos and highly value all of the other things he has to say about any given game, product or service. Out of the 100+ channels I am subscribed to, he is one of the very very few that I actually have notifications on.
You know what Teyon should do for a game instead going straight for the alien franchise ? WE NEED A SNAKE PLISSKEN GAME !!! Im hungry for a new "Escape from"-movie or even a game. When Kurt Russel can voice snake , im in heaven and can happily die .
We never did get an Escape From New York game. There was a cancelled Xbox/PS2 game you can find footage of on TH-cam. Teyon could probably pull it off. Not sure if they'd get Kurt. I don't think he's ever done video game voice acting. Kojima wanted him for Metal Gear Solid, but never got him.
Continuing in the footsteps of Alien Isolation. I love this type of game. Creating a world from a movie. It's eventually going to be The Shining sequence from Ready Player One.
Much love and respect for this studio for 2 really nostalgic and put together games! Robocop was my favorite action movie growing up as a 90s kid so playing the game was like going back in time playing with my robocop action figure! Loved playing the action sequences with the theme song cause it made them so much fun, the attention to detail to the many set pieces from the film was amazing, the references via lines, characters, pieces of the environment were put together with what you can tell was love for the source material and so on! And since the single player/story mode idea of games has been going away with games with online only features and micro transactions this was a much needed breath of fresh air. Granted the voice acting and some of the character models were meh it’s easy to ignore them for all the other great things about the game! The story was good too with some parts being actually chilling, funny and action packed. And just as a side note I know ya had the clip where the ED 209 was shooting I think an already dead enemy idk if that’s a bug cause it happened to me during the bank heist that I honestly think it was just a random event cause we all know that 99 out of 100 the ED 209 is dumb as hell so it could’ve been just shooting an already dead body like in the movie 🤷🏻♂️😂 and the sheer fact that Peter Weller coming back for the role was amazing! Idk if it’s cause of his love for the role or was a big paycheck but either way I’m so glad he did it cause we saw what saw what happens with other people trying it *cough cough* robocop 3 😂😂
Nerrel, I think you're my favorite person talking about games on the internet currently. A lot of qualifiers but I can say for sure I always stop to watch whenever I see a new video from you.
9:19 Good review overall, but one thing you overlooked: there was a button for changing firing modes on weapons. X in this case. You can see it hidden in the HUD in the bottom-right. That's how you change between burst and auto, when available. Granted, this is NOT explained well and it took me a couple missions to figure it out too. But yeah, I absolutely loved this game, warts and all. It instantly became one of my favorite B-games ever.
I had a blast with this game (no pun intended). It was fun as hell. It's not a GoTY winner or anything, just balls to the wall action. They also got the general atmosphere, at least from the first 2 films, spot on.
I finally got around to picking this up when it was on sale, and am definitely having fun with it, I can also report all the bugs mentioned in this video have been fixed. I did have 1 crash around the 10 hour mark, but I've been playing helldivers so it just made me feel at home.
Holy shit I just realized what this game reminds me of. The Darkness. The cheesy acting, the meandering sidequests, the city hub, the slow walking speed, it's all there.
I was worried this was going to be just a generic shooter with a Robocop coat of paint because that's what the demo showed but the game quests and city are so much more interesting and stronger than that.
I loved this game. I feel like the gangster writing and vocal performance serves valuable utility beyond being 'Milhouse Funny'. The enemies are Dumb. Dumb enough to get in a shootout with Robocop that they obviously wouldn't win. Imagine if the enemies were written to be competent and reasonable like in a conventional video game, the illusion of this universe wouldn't hold.
There should be super secret soul sphere-esque floating Oreo powerups that overcharge your health (or, hull rather) and also give you a speedboost and berserk melee 1 shot power. And by Oreo I mean *ROYALTY FREE COOKIE SANDWICH™*
It's good to see the developers have improved in some areas and leaned into their strengths. While others have their own wishlist for adaptations, I'd really like to see them create their own original title.
"robocop mostly beat thugs up with pg-13 violence" uhh have you seen the first robocop? he kills like 20 people in that drug warehouse shootout alone. and the clarence boddicker kill was gnarly
This game made me really want a Robocop game with a higher budget and a bigger world. It would be cool if you could drive the car and stuff. They could also have better voice acting, writing, and sidequests.
Such a gem. Being a fan of both Robocop 1 and 2 I enjoyed every second of it. Also if you are playing this on PC I highly recommend looking for some of the mods that bring some of the music sounds into the game. Makes an already great experience even better
Burger King... I think. I don't know. I think so though. And because of this, I think it's kind of unacceptable that Robocop doesn't have a burger king. Alright, let me get this off my chest - what in the world were the developers of the Robocop video game thinking when they decided NOT to include a Burger King in the game? I mean, come on! We're talking about a franchise that practically screams fast food tie-ins, and they completely missed the golden opportunity to have Robocop chow down on a Whopper between intense crime-fighting missions. Picture this: Robocop, the ultimate crime-fighting machine, taking a break from cleaning up the mean streets of Detroit to enjoy a flame-grilled burger at a Burger King. It's a match made in cybernetic heaven! But no, the game developers decided to deprive us of this glorious moment. What a missed chance for some epic product placement synergy. I can already imagine the tagline: "Even the toughest crime-fighter needs a break - refuel with a Burger King Whopper!" It practically writes itself. Instead, we get a game that focuses on shooting bad guys and saving the city without even a mention of one of the most iconic fast-food chains. It's not just about the missed marketing opportunity; it's about the lack of realism. I mean, would you believe that a futuristic, crime-ridden Detroit wouldn't have a single Burger King? I don't buy it. It's a travesty, a betrayal of our expectations as gamers and fast-food enthusiasts. So here's to hoping that in future Robocop games, they wise up and recognize the importance of integrating a Burger King into the gameplay. Because until then, I'll be sitting here, dreaming of a world where Robocop can enjoy a delicious Whopper while taking down criminals. It's the crossover we deserve but didn't get. Shame on you, Robocop game developers. Shame.
I bought this game at launch and I can honestly say your review made me realize how lucky my play through was. Encountered no bugs beyond the janky animations and occasional load in.
I bought this physical for the xbox because I wanted to support this sort of game and this developer. Was not let down. Played through it three times in a week. I crave games just being games like this again. Things like this and Ghostrunner give me hope that we can head back in the direction of fun for the sake of fun. It's a step up from a true indie in terms of budget and scope and honestly at times visually stands up against AAA in some instances. I hope this team after they're finished up with this racing game they're doing and after the response this had they can go on to make more stuff like this because this is what I think is needed to give a little shot back to the industry.
The switching prompts makes me wish for an "I know what im doing button" that lets me lock the promts to whatever I want like in warframe and let me aim by kicking the controller across the room
Nerrel have you played kid icarus uprising? I was rewatching the star fox zero video recently and thought the control scheme and similarity to sin and punishment would be interesting to you
Or maybe funny time zone dilation, because the internet thinks you've moved to Xen when you've simply went to an adjacent state for a month visiting family and thinks you're 10 billion hours ahead.

Damn right
Actually one of the hopes I had after watching this. Tackling an IP like Alien would be cool but I'd rather see Judge Dredd. Horribly underrepresented in games. I only recall a crappy one from the gamecube era

“Robocop can’t get a cat down from a tree without stumbling into a gang war or prison riot”

Honestly I'd love to see this team take a crack at a Planet of the Apes games. I think the corny acting would fit the characters great and they would have lots of material to pull from.

I really want this to get a high budget sequel I love Robocop and this game is unironically so damn good
Nerrel is the best reviewer, great content as always no matter what.
Ahh Nerrel always drops right when I have that itch. Much appreciated big dawg
This game made me really want a Robocop game with a higher budget and a bigger world. It would be cool if you could drive the car and stuff. They could also have better voice acting, writing, and sidequests.
Such a gem. Being a fan of both Robocop 1 and 2 I enjoyed every second of it. Also if you are playing this on PC I highly recommend looking for some of the mods that bring some of the music sounds into the game. Makes an already great experience even better
The NPCs remind me of the Sector 6 gangsters from Final Fantasy VII Remake, Beck’s Badasses, and I think that fits the setting.
Burger King...
I think. I don't know. I think so though. And because of this, I think it's kind of unacceptable that Robocop doesn't have a burger king.
Alright, let me get this off my chest - what in the world were the developers of the Robocop video game thinking when they decided NOT to include a Burger King in the game? I mean, come on! We're talking about a franchise that practically screams fast food tie-ins, and they completely missed the golden opportunity to have Robocop chow down on a Whopper between intense crime-fighting missions.
Picture this: Robocop, the ultimate crime-fighting machine, taking a break from cleaning up the mean streets of Detroit to enjoy a flame-grilled burger at a Burger King. It's a match made in cybernetic heaven! But no, the game developers decided to deprive us of this glorious moment. What a missed chance for some epic product placement synergy.
I can already imagine the tagline: "Even the toughest crime-fighter needs a break - refuel with a Burger King Whopper!" It practically writes itself. Instead, we get a game that focuses on shooting bad guys and saving the city without even a mention of one of the most iconic fast-food chains.
It's not just about the missed marketing opportunity; it's about the lack of realism. I mean, would you believe that a futuristic, crime-ridden Detroit wouldn't have a single Burger King? I don't buy it. It's a travesty, a betrayal of our expectations as gamers and fast-food enthusiasts.
So here's to hoping that in future Robocop games, they wise up and recognize the importance of integrating a Burger King into the gameplay. Because until then, I'll be sitting here, dreaming of a world where Robocop can enjoy a delicious Whopper while taking down criminals. It's the crossover we deserve but didn't get. Shame on you, Robocop game developers. Shame.

Found the Burget King rep. Maybe next time! 😂
*Finally, a GOOD Robert Cop game*
Let the good 80s movie videogame renaissance begin.
I bought this game at launch and I can honestly say your review made me realize how lucky my play through was. Encountered no bugs beyond the janky animations and occasional load in.
This just makes me want a Police Robot Scans Stuff and Does Mundane Paperwork. No scifi grunge fights, just bureaucracy in the year 29XX
Nerrel just keeps getting cooler
Sounds like Nerrel would buy that for a dollar! Edit: Ahhh he got mee!!
Only thing I love more than Robocop is Nerrel.
I bought this physical for the xbox because I wanted to support this sort of game and this developer. Was not let down. Played through it three times in a week. I crave games just being games like this again. Things like this and Ghostrunner give me hope that we can head back in the direction of fun for the sake of fun. It's a step up from a true indie in terms of budget and scope and honestly at times visually stands up against AAA in some instances. I hope this team after they're finished up with this racing game they're doing and after the response this had they can go on to make more stuff like this because this is what I think is needed to give a little shot back to the industry.
The switching prompts makes me wish for an "I know what im doing button" that lets me lock the promts to whatever I want like in warframe and let me aim by kicking the controller across the room
"PG13 Punching" sounds like a really cool move
Shooting all the lights out on a floor makes no difference to the bad guys seeing you.
oh look it's the iconic robotic police of detroit from the futuristic year of 2019, he's the best
Imagine a game based on "THE THING" with multi-player modes. Masterpiece.
So a more r rated Among Us?
Quite the coincidence. Watched the Terminator review last night and was wondering when you would get around to Robocop.
5:52 I'm glad I was done eating when that came on. Would have choked on that lol.
EDIT:
6:45 Delicious 80s vehicles.
Nerrel have you played kid icarus uprising? I was rewatching the star fox zero video recently and thought the control scheme and similarity to sin and punishment would be interesting to you
Probably my favorite video game adapted from a movie. Totally captures the essence of the movie and the late 80's.
Did you see Nintendos Direct that Mother 3 is being added?
2:55 appreciate the attention to detail with the trigger discipline
@Nerrel looks like Nintendo is going through with a Full Lawsuit on Yuzu.
Nerrel is the goat, what a funny looking game
This took longer after the games release than the Mario Wonder video yet this one is NOT a too late who gives a shit. A glaring inconsistency.
The team would make an awesome tremors game
YES
the second aliens has some corny scenes but its still mostly serious and im not sure how these devs would handle it. still worth a shot i suppose
i want these guys to make a vampire the masquerade game .. it’s uncanny how much this reminded me of bloodlines
Besides the occasional crash, there are no more bugs in this game and this game rocks now, 7 months later
well. i did not know what the tone of this movie was like until exactly now
Now we just need them to make a robocop vs terminator game
How are there comments from 6 hrs ago when it was posted SECONDS ago??
❤ Nerrel.

Or maybe funny time zone dilation, because the internet thinks you've moved to Xen when you've simply went to an adjacent state for a month visiting family and thinks you're 10 billion hours ahead.
New Nerrel pun just dropped: 6:40
Nerrel Returns with his love of Cats and Gryo Aim. And that’s good enough for me. 😘
