Not really. I'd go back to play Robocop on the Amstrad from time to time. My first step into gaming was The Hollywood Collection by Ocean. Batman The Movie, Robocop, Ghostbusters II and Indiana Jones and the last crusade. Finished them all except Indiana Jones. Disc was fucked as it would only play the first level and get stuck. Grab the Cross and escape. No top of the train for me. I loved Robocop as a kid and was very fortunate that I got to see it several times in primary school. It stuck with me. I never saw the Robocop v Terminator until it was too late and couldn't find a copy then. I played it a few times but nothing beats the Amstrad version for me.

I need to look up what an Amstrad is. Im assuming you're British since you used the term "primary school."

Were you a big a Robocop vs Terminator fan back in the day?

great game!

The only Goldie Lookin Chain song I knew is Guns don't kill people rappers do

I was meant to see the bastids down the local pub but they got too pissed up to perform back then..

So we all got pissed.

Fellow Irish. Nice

 

[RavageX]

What are the romance options?

 

[0neAnd0nly]

Why is this game looking better every time I see it?

I’m not sure I am in day 1, but I might end up on it at some point…

 

[VulcanRaven]

I want the flamethrower arm from RoboCop 3:

I want the flamethrower arm from RoboCop 3:

I want a playable Dick Jones from Robocop.
Or an ED-209 mode (where you correctly police the city) unlike that trash Robocop.

If I were you, I’d steer clear of this franchise, Dick.

You’re hair looks lovely that way-

Isn’t the moon wonderful today? -

Drop it ! -

I’m not arresting you anymore-

 

[deriks]

Can't wait to preorder. Two skins that you can't see because It's a first person game.

You can See them during cutscenes I guess but It's still dumb.

Cyberpunk before patch: so moving on

You gonna call me Bobby?

[Isa]

I think I'm day 1 for this. I really enjoyed my time with Terminator and this looks like a step up for sure. They may be B-A tier but that just shows the effort put in despite the limited budget. Plus Robocop is a classic.

 

[Needlecrash]

Can you get the Alex Murphy Edition in physical format?

 

[havoc00]

Really hyped for this

May I introduce you to RoboCop Vs Terminator on Mega Drive:



With a badass soundtrack from Tommy Tallarico

 

[tylrdiablos]

I doubt we'll get one... but I'd appreciate a demo.

In an era when the SNES versions of games were often superior to the Sega Genesis, it's nice to know the Genesis version had a win.

 

[Mobilemofo]

I wish they added flying Robocop

You would be the only one. flying robo was a farce.

 

[Moridianae]

I'm actually very excited for this game--it really looks like they poured a ton of love into the source material.

I'm okay with it not being perfect. We all have games that we consider favorites, even in yesteryear that maybe weren't the 10/10s everybody knows.

I just want to know if they'll do more with his human side. That was the dynamic I liked most of the original film.

How have I never seen this? Internet, you never fail to amaze.

 

[WorldHero]

Probably showing my age here but I'm a huge Robo fan and a huge Robo video game fan. This looks insane. I was against pre-orders but I feel obligated to support the devs and their efforts here

Top Robo Games:
Robocop Arcade
Robocop 2 Arcade
Robocop NES
Robocop Gameboy
Robocop Vs Terminator Genesis

 

[NeptuneCL]

Actually, looks pretty good. Let's hope Teyon delivers.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Did anyone play the 2003 game? I wanted at the time but never ended up buying it.

Red Forman and his BITCHES LEAVE never makes me not laugh

Kurtwood Smith is so good

 

[Mephisto40]

Yes, it was developed as an on rails arcade game that got ported to consoles after the arcade cab was dropped, which didn't translate very well, solid 5/10

 

[Toots]

You would be the only one. flying robo was a farce.

(he's pointing at flying robocop at the end of the gif btw)

(Also i get that you use the word "farce", but it was litteraly one of the two word to describe Paul Verhoeven's grand-guignolesque style imo. Farce and horror. And politics of course. Take this formula and crank it up to 11 and you get a Verhoeven flick.

"The man who killed death" with the kind of gory visual Verhoeven would not disown.
On the wiki page :
In a typical Grand Guignol performance patrons would see five or six short plays, all in a style that attempted to be brutally true to the theatre's naturalistic ideals. The most popular and best-known were the horror plays, which featured a distinctly bleak worldview and gory special effects, particularly in their climaxes. The horrors depicted at Grand Guignol were generally not supernatural; rather these plays often explored altered states like insanity, hypnosis, or panic. To heighten the effect, the horror plays were often alternated with comedies, a lineup referred to as "hot and cold showers.")

Demo is live on Steam.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Demo is live on Steam.

I downloaded this and then went to give it a try today, got a "no licenses" error, and I see the demo isn't on the Steam store page anymore... what kind of shit is that? I didn't notice any "limited time" text when I downloaded it... and even so why call it a "demo" instead of a beta or something that implies that it's limited.

Do they not think having the demo available the week before release might be a good idea to sell the fucking thing?

I haven't been this confused since people randomly started describing frame drops/stutter as "lag" all at the same time.

It was only available during the Steam Next Fest I believe. I don't think it's a major issue, maybe just an oversight by the dev, small studio and all.

Yeah, I see now there was an entry in the Event/Announcements section saying as much. Didn't even know "Steam Next Fest" was a thing... Just frustrating because if it was remotely decent in the demo I was going to throw them a pre-order.

I've never used the refunds on Steam, maybe I'll grab it, give it a chance for an hour, and hit the refund if I don't like it.

 

[VeganElduderino]

so many games , so little time , but the demo was awesome! so yeah of course I'm buying this

 

[Chuck Berry]

Times moving too fast. This is out next week. Christ.

Robocop never flew. And if he did, we refuse to acknowledge that exists.

Mate, the first game I ever bought with my own money was Robocop on the amstrad cpc6128k. They had the arcade in the games shop and I played it and the giant ED-209 came on screen and I knew I had to have it. Was gutted though as he was tiny on the Amstrad version if memory serves me well. I also grew up in the UK in the gaming scene in 80's and 90's.

I'd highly recommend it, the demo was great. Especially if you are/were a big Robocop fan over the years. It feels like it'll be the best Robocop game we've ever had, easily.

 

[phant0m]

Demo was fun as fuck but I got Mario and AW 2 to keep me busy for the next month

Next you gonna tell me he never backed Sting in his feud with Rick Flair

Looks to me like he’s serving the public trust and protecting the innocent.

I’ll allow it.

Really looking forward to this on PC. Loved the demo. Last Robocop game I played was on the Commodore Amiga, if you can believe it!

I can believe that because so did I

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

As for the concerns about the RoboCop 2 skin being "too blue" I can promise, it's just overdone for the purpose of the store image. It looks damn good!

Fun fact: The blue tint came from the fiber glass from which the suit was made. For the first movie, they used aluminum and other metals, making the suit WAY to heavy.

The fiberglass gave it the blue glare.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

OT was ready a couple of weeks ago, should I post it before monday? I mean, I'm sure some people bought Murphy Edition to play 2 days early (like myself), so it's kinda pointless to wait 2 days more. The thread will be optimazied for dark theme only though.
