Their first game was Rambo. It was pretty broken and I guess not everyone appreciated that it was an on-rails shooter but I remember playing through it with a friend in local co-op and there were moments where I thought I'm gonna shit myself laughing, lol. As far as making me feel like I'm playing a ridiculous, over-the-top 80s action flick like Rambo, I guess it accomplished exactly what it set out to do.
Next, they made Terminator: Resistance along with the Annihilation Line expansion, which I thought was a rather delightful low-budget shooter. Definitely one of, if not THE best Terminator game I played. Even though its low-budget nature was very apparent, it was surprisingly successful at recreating the atmosphere of those post-apocalyptic sequences from T1 and T2, which is something that even the follow-up movie sequels never managed to nail down. It was also very fun to play, it had a few genuinely nail-biting sneaking sequences which echoed the climax of the original Terminator movie, it had a fantastic soundtrack, and despite the uncanny valley nature of character models, I actually found the story and writing to be quite engaging. Overall, good effort!
Now we're only a few months away from Robocop, and after seeing the trailer I'm kinda psyched. It looks like they may give this 80s classic the same kind of treatment that they gave to The Terminator.
So with that kind of portfolio, it seems like this developer tries to go for a specific niche and I'm hoping that they will keep finding success in it and that they will start getting bigger budgets. Because I, and I'm guessing many other GAFers as well, am a sucker for 80s action cinema and I'd love to see more of those franchises getting a video game adaptation made with such passion for the source material.
Therefore, the obvious question is: what do you think they should try and adapt next?
