Terminator Salvation preview

[Mario2]

It's next June should be available some Terminator Renaissance (Terminator Salvation), a title developed by GRIN. Scheduled for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, this action game in the third person, where you play the role of John Connor, is revealed through this exclusive video.



For a minute, it offers you through various phases of the game, these incredible machines are the Terminators. John uses all means at its disposal to overcome the forces Skynet (vehicles, weapons, etc.)..

If the third opus of the series has disappointed many fans, the release of a new Terminator film is at an event like the movie theaters know relatively little. In the video game is roughly the same thing because of the power of the license, but we must recognize that if they are selling fairly well, these adaptations are rarely successful.The Swedes Grin, partner Halcyon Company, have undertaken the difficult task of conducting a licensed quality and a few weeks / months of the exit, we were invited to a small presentation of their baby.

"You've been terminated"

In order not to run anything for the marketing machine, Terminator Renaissance released on both platforms game and film. In other words, the feature such as video games (PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360) are available, except accident last minute, on 3 June. However, the story underlying the game will not be a carbon copy of the script of film McG, developers have stressed this point at the beginning of the presentation. Of course, the protagonists will be substantially the same and the Honorable John Connor (Christian Bale in the film) is opposed to obviously terrifying Skynet, but the events counted in the game starting two years before the film in 2016 to be perfectly accurate.



In principle, this technique has a gain and not to spoil the surprise of the film by playing the game or vice versa. In practice, the writers may face a major problem: how we count the war against Skynet not end with the victory of either of the two camps since the war is just about the film?

The developers have given us an initial response indicating clearly that the scenario of the game does not debate and that the problem was rather regonfler morale of troops humanities. Indeed, completely outdated technologically and numerically by the armies of Skynet, the Humans have a little bad in the beginning of the game.

To give relief to the heart of humanity, you can count on a game system that is not unlike one of the references of the time on Xbox 360: Gears Of War. Most of the game and most of our presentation is to actually reproduce the principles of the game of Epic Games to the management of catchment areas to attack in the best possible conditions. Unfortunately, if on paper inspired by such a title is not a bad idea, in practice we have not been more confident than that. On the technical side first and even though developers still have a little time before they all acknowledge the coup and it is quite far from the prowess of Epic Games.

In the few levels that we could discover, the animation seemed hesitant and the level of detail far from exemplary. However, the most annoying is classified in the impressions and we had all the sorrows of the world to enjoy the atmosphere 'end of the world "made by the trailer of the film. In terms of gameplay, the developers Grin focused on the management of hedges and the player must hide behind are different elements of the scene for themselves. Thus Planque, he does not fear the enemy fire and can decide the sequence of events: shooting blindly, throwing grenades, lateral movement to another coverage area or move forward to attack.



This pattern there anything more simplistic is not necessarily a problem (after all it is an action game) if all was not as wobbly. Thus, the artificial intelligence of enemies seemed to say the least, limited, and planque behind the wall, it is as if our host could stand without the Hunter Killers can never achieve these fools continue to fire the Similarly unabated until our host decided to move his character. Rather embarrassing, this problem was observed on each of the scenes presented. It should be noted however that as robots encountered, we must adopt different fighting techniques.

The approach will obviously not the same as the attack on a humanoid robot as the T-600 (a Terminator less advanced than those of the first three films and will be reflected in the fourth) or type drones wasps even the mighty Hunter Killers. To vary a little pleasure, developers have integrated sequences in vehicles and at which it should scrap the robots sent by Skynet. If they are not very original, these sequences were missing especially from "potato", the fault may be a sound still very far from being finalized. Hope also that this is also the management of the physical destruction or elements of the scene: so two elements missing from the demo that we made a demo of the game, first you can not contact unfortunately can not remember much about frankly positive outside of the famous music specific to the license ...The first notes were sufficient to raise the mood, and hope that developers will have the resources so that the soufflé does not fall!
