RoboCop: Rogue City brilliantly captures the aesthetic of the late 80's film franchise, but does it make for a fun RoboCop game?
A few weeks after officially announcing it on X, Teyon has rolled out New Game Plus for RoboCop: Rogue City in a major update.
From Xfire: "Is Nacon's Head of Publishing making a valid point about the industry being flooded with games, or is this just a way to justify poor performance?"
Agreed. It definitely is part of it. There's just not much you can do about it. I'll check out the game cause it looked interesting to me and i grew up watching robocop. It's just not something I'm in a rush for, not willing to spend that much money on a fps game. 30 dollar mark is about right for me.
And the problem is too many people spend money buying cosmetic stuff in free to play games instead of buying full release games.
And it will only get worse I fear. While we do see all the big GaaS releases fall, the AA and Mobile GaaS that run F2P model and just rob people blind essentially. The AAA bubble is now bursting.
Hopefully this will mean medium sized releases will get bigger focus now. It's becoming impossible to meet the "Gamers want bigger worlds, bigger cinematics, bigger EVERYTHING" standards and not fall apart along the way to meet the expectations of both business needs and the customer.
I buy no cosmetics . My kids ask me for Minecraft stuff but i tell them I’ll buy them a new game or toy instead.
Robocop was released during a gaming period that is normally flooded with games. That October to December is when most heavy hitters release their games. I did pick Robo and loved it
Pandemic does play a factor. Plus companies release games as soon as their finished. If they could hold out and time it better it would help but most companies don’t have that luxury.
I am going to buy this game soon. I have been busy and always have a backlog from years past so I don’t buy as many games day 1 as I used to but I do want to play this and will order it soon.
from eXputer "Game Director of RoboCop: Rogue City says the team wants to work on some IPs, especially after the success of Terminator and RoboCop games."
I'd love to see them do a Predator game. Based on the first film, not the sequel and certainly not any of the reboots.
Predator could be incredible! Especially if based off of the first movie.
Dredd. Come on now, you know you want to see it. Get Karl Urban involved. Give us the Dredd sequel we all want.
Hmm... well i had fun with the demo and should be getting the PS5 version in the mail later this week.
Soooo... quantum error is better...gotcha!
"The searing social commentary of the original film is absent,".... whoaaa STOP RIGHT THERE. wtf? The entire intro segment was exactly that. Not to mention it's in the surrounding characters, npc dialogue, and environmental design, and other various elements. How far into the game did you play, or did you even? Is this another one of those half-assed kinda-played-it-for-a-mission or-two or possibly inebriated reviews?
"Then there is the frame rate – often smartly disguised by the fact RoboCop moves so slowly ". - So the frame rate is hidden in his movement? Okaaaaay. I have seen zero issues in framerate. There are some minor issues with textures and enemy character model layer animations, but nothing a tweak or two cannot fix and nothing broke the game or affected the play-through experience.
The punks are common 80's bad guy fodder (good fit and classic robocop imo).
You also complained about all the thoughtless directive side missions.. um...Robocop's directives ARE ridiculous and dumb. that is the point... goes back to the "social commentary" part.
What exactly are you not getting? You DID watch the films riiiiiiiight? ;)
