Hang on Terminator Resistance was a good game? I never tried it as I thought it got shocking reviews from anyone who'd played it?
Usually games like that tend to be just a cash cow like that awful predator MP game that came out awhile ago that looks like it was made for a ps2/3?
Is it worth playing now or has too much time passed?

The developers are very passionate about the entire franchise and took care to create the best Terminator game they could and it shows.
As a game I would give it an 8/10 but if you are a huge fan of the franchise, then you'll love it.
Just Google it and it's 9/10 on Steam.
A good game is a good game and it's never too late to play.
My only concern regarding this game is the combat and how the game tracks and targets the enemies just like in the movies. Not sure if it plays like a typical FPS or if there are tactics involved but in terms of graphics and atmosphere, they definitely have got that nailed

The previews out there made it seem like a slow walking FPS with healthpacks. I'm not sure how I'd want a Robocop game to play seeing as the movies show him as an invincible tank most of the time.My only concern regarding this game is the combat and how the game tracks and targets the enemies just like in the movies.

Well if I had to put my faith in a developer to make the perfect Robocop game, it would definitely be these guys and if the game turned out to be crap in the end, then you can forget about someone else attempting to make another Robocop game lol.

Free demo up on Steam.
Anyone interested in this? Looked at some screenies months ago and it looked *****, like a 15 year old game - though it's supposed to be Unreal 5?

I was just expecting it to drop and be totally average and forgettable like that last Terminator game. Nice of them to put in the work with a demo. Got a soft spot for Mr Robert Cop so I'm going to give it a go.

A 44GB demo?! 
I'll try it!

Robert cop. I like that. Robert cop vs David policeman is the game we need.

Good start, game froze when applying GFX settings, also noticed it says DLSS 3.5, wtf?

Alright want the good news or the bad news?

On my RX6800 at 3440x1440 it was a stuttery mess when it came to shooting.
But, the feel of the character is good.
I actually felt like Robocop rather than say just any rando protagonist in an FPS.

So let's start with the good, it's defo nostalgia overload for those who grew up in the 80s. The set pieces are faithful to the movies, so it's nice to just walk around the police precinct etc and see the stuff you saw in the movies. Also it's cool seeing the familiar names and faces from the movies.
Speaking of faces, the facial animations and quality are quite bad, this is meant to be Unreal Engine 5?! Ragdoll physics also don't exist, NPCs drop to the floor like they have the mass of the Sun. I actually think Time Crisis back in the day had more fluid body physics when you shot creeps. Speaking of which, the gunfights feel like you are playing Time Crisis back on the arcade cabinets, just minus the physical iron.
Shader compilation stutter happens often usually at the start or when traversing through to new areas, the frametime graph may not make it as obvious given it's quite small at this res, but you definitely feel it. There is no shader comp at the start of the game.
Also, you can one punch kill enemies most of the time, so you can basically falcon punch your way through corridors as my video below will show.
I did hear a cat meowing at the start, too, and when I found it on top of the scaffolding, it began to slowly push a carton off the edge as I watched. I like the fact that they perfectly did cat behaviour, so plus points for that lol.

The graphics can look quite nice at times, but up close many textures are low quality, and nothing is really interactive. There are quite a bit of poor quality NPC acting/animations/faces and there appears to be pixel-walking in various areas which I assume is the ray tracing since the GFX settings are set to Epic and UE uses RT in UE5 when settings are above the High. values. The DLSS upscaler is labelled as DLSS 3.5 as well, since this game doesn't use Ray Reconstruction, I think the devs have obviously got confused by Nvidia's naming scheme because the DLSS version used is 3.5.0, whilst DLSS remains 2.0. They should know this of all people...
FSR 2.2/XeSS etc all seem to work well though, Frame Gen also works well, and the game runs at 80fps with FG off at 5160x2160, so at least performance outside of shader stutter is decent.
I would play the full game but only on a mega Steam sale or if it comes to game Pass. And just for the sake of nostalgia as an old skool RoboCop movie fan. I would have to force myself to ignore the messy gameplay and corridor shooting.
Also this made me lol:

Yea, bit of a mess of a game and very repetitive, though fun for the nostalgia i guess. wouldn't pay more than a few quid for the full game. shame as i'd love a good robocop game.
