Yeah, it seems like a rental, especially since there is no online, which is a shame.

Hmmm...Interesting. But let's us ask ourselves a question. Was there any successful Terminator game? The late NES version were pretty bad, and practically unbeatable, the railshooters had a really fucked difficulty curb. Even when the 1st Terminator game "SkyNEt" hit the PC's it was still pretty bad because no one could pass it without cheat codes, later came Terminator: War of the Machiens. Wich was practically a clone of Battlefield, and had the worst glitches know to on-line games(and because not many people wanted to play the slow ass Terminators as well, also when someone DID play the Terminators, the humans got constanly crushed because of what high tech stuff the Terminators had.) An naturally there was one last Terminator game where ya play Arnold, and fight during the events of T3. Again, this game wasn't enjoyable. So, I'm having huge doubts bout this one. Also, I don' have much against Christian Bale, or peoples opinion on him, but that guy doesn' scream bad ass, or maybe that's just me.

04.23.2009 - 15:07 | AngryJoeShow - Terminator: Future Shock
I'd argue that Terminator: Future Shock was probably the best.
So at least for me there was a Good Terminator Game!

Mmmm...Well I guess, I mean for me it wasn't all bad, but not all good. But hey, everyone has different tastes

Wow, great review AngryJoe!
Your videos are getting better and better! The timing is great, and the fx are awesome! And the points are very well thougt!
Just one hint: sometimes it looks like the scene needed to be cut half second earlier. I don't know if is intentional, but to me it doesn't feel right. Well, it can be just my opinion!
And by the way, I don't see no multiplayer as a great thing, I personally don't play in this mode, and I dislike when they focus on multiplayer and forget the singleplayers like me...

04.23.2009 - 15:08 | AngryJoeShow - I drag things out...
My greatest fault in my videos is dragging things out way too long. Benzaie has slapped me on many occasions for this....ill try to fight my urges to drag things on....

Good stuff. I have heard lot of good things about Gears of War but I always hated its souless back ground. But same game with Terminator lisence could be actually much better.

I might actually be tempted into playing this game at some point now. I haven't played a good movie tie-in game since Spidey 2, but this looks half decent despite the fact it looks like the same X360 shoot em up all over again.
-
04.22.2009 - 02:40 | Startrance - Awesome
Awesome review as allways, you would be a great game designer, and to get to the points no online multiplayer are they serious? and the rippoff from the whole gears of war style/graphic really shows how lazy they are.
keep up the greatwork

04.22.2009 - 03:10 | JustSomeDude - MMOSCS - Massive Multiplayer Online Strategy Coop
You got some very very good points there Joe...
I was even thinking several types of online coops...
You could do individuals in complex tactical missions with AI enemies.
You could make the maps hard for folks who can really work together well coordinated in locked 'guild' rooms so everyone can test their coop skills and do some REAL Terminator future battles.You can make it as big as you can, with a massive online map with several clans playing together against several groups of machines, and eventually someone has to kill the Skynet. Massive online coop, now that would be a real thrill i think.

04.22.2009 - 03:31 | reb92287 - Movie+video game based on the film = Th3 Suck
Pretty much movie games are terrible given the ammount of time they put into programming them. This game is going to fail and not just because all the terminator games before it failed as well but because its a movie game thats going to try and clone gears of war 2. Nice review though I enjoyed it those are just my two cents.

From what movie is that clip in the beginning with the explosion and the people being burned? Is that Fail-Safe, or is it something else?

Great job on this. And ya it is most likely just going to be a rental. Actually I already see 50 copies of this game at block buster with no one renting it.
I been a terminator fan since the 2nd movie when I was a kid. And the first few minutes of terminator were so kick ass. I was saying to myself, "Why isn't this part the whole movie?" This movie is what I been waiting for since I was 6. (I actually cried every time Arnold went in the fire)
-
04.23.2009 - 15:13 | AngryJoeShow
Dood, we are the same person.
I rewound that part of the movie a hundredtimes I wanted it to be the whole damn thing! Thats why I like Terminator 3D, it was sorta that....
And I cried too. lol.

Honestly I don't care about multiplayer that much, especially for a game like this most people would play it for a week before going back to Halo/Gears.
Grin made BC:Rearmed and Wanted: Weapons of Fate so I know they can make good games, let's see if they can make another.

calling it a Gears of War 2 clone just because it just uses a duck and cover system is like calling every FPS a Wolfenstein 3D clone. a little unfair dont you think angry joy?
-
04.22.2009 - 12:19 | Bensen
so gears of war is a kill switch clone because it uses duck and cover and blindfire too?

04.22.2009 - 20:16 | orwellianson - !!!
Joe, to my knowledge there was more than just one great movie based video game, other thn the title you mentioned...
Scarface: The World is Yours for the Wii and
Goldeneye 64 are key examples of this.

04.23.2009 - 15:16 | AngryJoeShow - I will Cheat and say...
Good points!
I will "cheat" and remind you that I said "Recent Tie-In Games"

Why people even has hopes for a game based on a movie or a movie based on a game absolutely baffles me!!
But yeah there's been some very notable exceptions like for example Riddick.

hi joe hey really good video i really like to see all of your videos pal but ok i think ou get that a lot to the point about the things that makes you angry:
a clone of gears?seriously men?then what gears is a clone of kill switch?i mean its terminator men terminator....what else could you want ,you are in a war you have to duck and blind fire as mentioned before...i mean the ther day i saw a dude call it a fallout 3 clone,i was like O.O and they said that because of the maps,men i really laught so fucking hard,terminator for me was the one that put the post apocaliptic scenario in the map not fallout,maybe the first ones but come one be real ppl, well i hope you all get my point or i could be here hours
multiplayer:well yeah it could be good to put a multiplayer mode buuuuuut what about the terminator 2 war kind of multiplayer,you know like all the one that enters goes to the human resistance like a real army, mean its terminator vs humas after all imaging for a second all this soldiers running and screaming like girls fighting those motha truca robots,like a real war,and maybe well humans vs robots but players controling humans too,you have to understand that many of the multiplayer options have already been used i dont really think there could be another one until some time...i dont care about multiplayer but when its a multiplayer coop hell im in...i think its more fun to play with a lot of ppl fighting together agains one enemy,well at least this is what i think,dont hate for that...
well thats it.again joe good video hope to see the review of this game at its fullest,and of course more of your videos keep doing the awesome job to make us happy or should i say angry?...well anyway hope you se my points i have a cordial gretting from mexico to you and your team pal
