Gaming in city Rogue. Reviews, Walkthroughs, News

Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop was the film in my school that everyone under the age of eighteen wanted to watch but wasn’t allowed to. Fortunately for my friend and I, we managed to sneakily watch his Dad copy on VHS. As a naïve tweenager I was blown away by what I saw. The hyper-violence, the dark satire, and the coolest hero I’d ever laid eyes on; Robocop proved an explosive experience that only led to a handful of sleepless nights due to nightmares about melting faces. Since his iconic debut though, times have been hard for the cyborg cop. A series of lacklustre film sequels and an awful modern remake have all helped dull Robocop’s once-shiny armour. Step in RoboCop: Rogue City, the first video game starring the titular hero in years. Has developer Teyon’s latest FPS got what it takes to restore the RoboCop legacy? Well, unfortunately, no.

After I played the demo of RoboCop: Rogue City earlier this month, I mentioned I had never watched the RoboCop sequels. Because of recommendations from the comments on that article, I finally watched RoboCop 2, and I’m glad I did.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC, and WarioWare: Move It! for Switch are the highlights of this week’s Japanese video game releases.

The RoboCop franchise hasn’t had much of a presence in games over the years, but as a developer that’s proven that it can handle adaptations of classic sci-fi Hollywood franchises, Teyon seems well positioned to change that with the upcoming RoboCop: Rogue City. And ahead of the first person shooter’s imminent launch, publisher Nacon has released another new trailer for it.

recently hosted its Partner Preview, showing some third-party games coming to the console. The event’s headliners were arguably Alan Wake 2 and the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. However, those were hardly the only games that appeared during the livestream.

After the middling 2014 mobile title, RoboCop returns to video games next week in Teyon’s RoboCop: Rogue City. A new trailer showcases some of the threats players can expect, including the Enforcement Droid Series 209 or ED-209. Check it out below, complete with some classic one-liners.

Microsoft's Xbox Partner Preview showcase might have an exceptionally rubbish name, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's not worth a watch! Tonight's latest instalment was a pretty decent offering all round that, while not exciting as such, did at least have some interesting reveals. There was first footage of Konami's Metal Gear Sold 3, a new game from PowerWash Simulator developer FuturLab, and more. And if you're looking for a summary of it all that won't take up 30 minutes of your time, then read on.

Today’s Xbox showcase debuted new footage and releases for games headed to Game Pass and Series X|S devices, including Ark, Like A Dragon, Alan Wake 2, and more.

Publisher Nacon and developer Teyon have released a new trailer for first-person shooter RoboCop: Rogue City dubbed “It Seems There Will Be Trouble.”

Do you remember how RoboCop: Rogue City was coming to Switch? No you don’t, because it’s not happening! Nacon has confirmed that their plans for a Switch version has been quietly tossed in the dumpster.

As recently as earlier this year, publisher Nacon and developer Teyon were saying that the upcoming first-person shooter RoboCop: Rogue City would eventually also be coming to the Nintendo Switch, even if a release date for that version hadn’t been confirmed. However, with the game now just a couple of weeks again from releasing for other platforms, Nacon has confirmed that, as some may have feared, plans for a Switch version of the title have been shelved.

Publisher Nacon and developer Teyon have cancelled the Switch version of RoboCop: Rogue City, which was originally planned to launch sometime after the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) versions due out on November 2.

The publisher of the promising RoboCop: Rogue City has quietly cancelled the Nintendo Switch version of the game.

RoboCop has quite the following. The cinematic franchise is a classic, and now, this year, we’re getting a new video game. Players will be taking the role of the iconic RoboCop himself as they go through a series of missions. Set in Detroit, crime and thugs run rampant, and who better to deal with some of these heinous groups than a man who’s half machine? So far, the upcoming game RoboCop: Rogue City demo is receiving praise online. With players eagerly awaiting its release, there is some disheartening news for Nintendo players.

RoboCop has been badly mistreated by the video game medium. Outside of Data East’s very good 1988 arcade game, studios have condemned RoboCop to appear in mostly lousy licensed video game schlock over the past 35 years.

The most-played Steam Next Fest demos have been revealed, and I'm not surprised to see what's topped the list. 

The Steam Next Fest just came to a close, but its diverse game demos live on in our hearts. Valve sprinkled a little bit of everything into its recent event, from open-world RPGs to fantasy crafting sims. While many of the showcased demos are still available to play now, others are no longer up as developers prepare for their games’ full release. To commemorate the Next Fest and talented devs, Steam just revealed its most-played game demos.

When RoboCop: Rogue City was announced and then we got our first glimpse of gameplay, we assumed that it was little more than a mission-based shooter. But no, there's actually a lot more to it, as the title's newest trailer shows ahead of its 2nd November release date.

We're just days away from the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which means our WAYP is likely to take a very consistent shape for the first time in eons. We should make the most of the variety this time, then, eh?

Forgive the surprise, but 80s action movies haven't typically made for the smoothest transitions to modern video games. Predator had Predator: Hunting Grounds, for instance, "a naff waste of great material". Terminator had Terminator: Resistance — "generic and boring". The infamous Aliens: Colonial Marines was admittedly followed by Alien Isolation and the enjoyable enough, fun-flamethrowing-with-friends of Aliens: Fireteam Elite, but still. When RoboCop: Rogue City was announced and subsequently delayed back in 2021 by Polish developer Teyon — the studio behind Terminator: Resistance and its sumptuously awkward first-person sex scene, no less — I can't, personally, say I was too optimistic.

I really didn’t expect RoboCop: Rogue City to even be any good when it was first revealed, let alone be absorbed in a demo of it for hours. Licensed games are rarely high up on my priorities, and even though I love RoboCop, I never thought anyone would go to the effort of doing the movie justice in a video game.

Developer Teyon and publisher Nacon have released a new trailer for RoboCop: Rogue City, this time around focusing on the fact that the choices players can make throughout the game matter quite a bit. Check out the trailer below.

A new is out, previewing some of the more RPG elements set to be included in Nacon’s game when it releases on November 2, 2023.

Today, NVIDIA unveiled the Alan Wake 2 RTX bundle. Purchasing a GeForce RTX 4070, 4070 Ti, 4080, and 4090 graphics card and desktop PC, or a laptop with a GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, or RTX 4070 Laptop GPU at select retailers will grant a digital copy of the survival horror game due to launch on October 27th. The Alan Wake 2 RTX bundle offer will be available until November 13th.

It's time for yet another Steam Next Fest, the recurring celebration of upcoming PC games on Valve's digital store. As always, there are dozens of demos, so we'll highlight the most interesting games you should check out.

Another somewhat worryingly warm week is coming to a close, so it’s time to check in on the video games that we’ve been playing. First and foremost in my own gaming time has been Forza Motorsport, which toes the line between reinvention and continuation for Turn 10’s Xbox counterpart to Gran Turismo. It’s a game that I’m looking forward to seeing grow over time, that’s for sure.

Teyon and Nacon's forthcoming 80s sci-fi FPS Robocop: Rogue City has a demo, allowing those who wouldn't even buy it for a dollar to spend an hour or two in the game's crime-ridden Old Detroit, fighting crime.

RoboCop Rogue City is almost here as developer Teyon and publisher Nacon work toward its fall launch. If you’ve not heard of the RoboCop-inspired FPS, Rogue City follows the beloved part-human, part-robot police officer as he brings justice to Old Detroit. The game is based on the original trio of RoboCop films from the 80s. While the initial release date was delayed, you can now explore the ins and outs of RoboCop’s crime-ridden city for yourself with the playable free Steam demo ahead of the full game.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, the latest game from Life is Strange developer Don't Nod, has been delayed until next year to avoid the stacked 2023 release calendar.

RoboCop: Rogue City is delayed to November 2, developer Teyon has announced. It was due out in September (the RoboCop: Rogue City Steam page still caries the September release window).

RoboCop: Rogue City has quietly suffered another delay.

Robocop: Rogue City is part man, part machine, and all videogame. It's also delayed, as it turns out, from a planned release in September to November 2, 2023.

Terminator: Resistance attracted a small but dedicated audience when it launched initially on PS4 and later on PS5 a few years ago, and now developer Teyon is back with another movie license tie-in. RoboCop: Rogue City is unlikely to be the highest budget first-person shooter to release on Sony’s new-gen console, but we do think this gameplay trailer shows promise.

Bad news, RoboCop fans – Rogue City has once again been delayed, this time slipping to 2nd November 2023 (and not November 2024, as detailed on some of the game's promotional materials).

Developer Teyon and publisher Nacon have announced that the release for RoboCop: Rogue City is getting pushed back from its original September release window. The game is now slated for release on November 2. The delay was revealed by Shinobi602 over X.

Nacon has rolled out a new trailer for RoboCop: Rogue City that reveals a November 2 release date. First announced in 2021 and based on the original film trilogy, players step into the metallic boots of RoboCop to protect Detroit from its criminal underground. 

There’s a moment in RoboCop: Rogue City where the future of law enforcement gets to show a little of the man behind the mask. He corners a reporter he’s been tracking, who reveals she has intel that could indict OCP, the evil megacorp who made RoboCop in the first place. She broke into OCP HQ to get that info, so technically she broke the law. But she had to do it to get what she needed. So RoboCop has a choice to make: he can detain her, an act that will ensure that the OCP-run cops will seize the evidence and destroy it, covering up the company’s crimes. Or he can show his human side and let the journalist go, allowing her to continue gathering evidence. It’s a tough call.

Gamescom has really hit the ground running this year. It’s only been one day since the event kicked-off, and already there’s all manner of exciting new info and video for both major games like Tekken 8 and more minor projects such as RoboCop: Rogue City. Fans have also seen a few surprise announcements, one of which being Tormented Souls 2. As good as its predecessor is, it’s probably safe to say that nobody saw this coming.

When discussing the top action films of the ’80s it would nothing short of a criminal act to omit RoboCop. The combination of satirical humor mixed with impressive (for the time) robot special effects and some gratuitous violent scenes led for an incredibly memorable film that still holds up today. The idea of a cyborg super cop violently enforcing the law endless legions of scumbags lends itself well to a video game setting. The upcoming RoboCop: Rogue City pays tribute to the 1987 cinematic triumph.

With gamescom ONL kicking things off yesterday, the first full day of the trade show started off strong with new information on Starfield, Alan Wake 2, and RoboCop: Rogue City. Of course, we also saw some great surprises, including a brand-new teaser for the Fallout TV series.

Teyon impressed quite a sizeable crowd with Terminator: Resistance, so it’s no surprise that there are plenty of eyes on the developer’s next first person shooter based on a beloved action film franchise. RoboCop: Rogue City has looked like an intriguing prospect ever since its announcement, and during the recent Future Games Show, publisher Nacon showcased another new trailer for the shooter.

Once again, the cancer of crime is spreading across Old Detroit, and there's only one police officer who can serve up justice on these lawless streets – RoboCop.

RoboCop: Rogue City is quietly one of the most anticipated shooters of 2023. Its premise is simple: take the beloved 1980s satire of capitalism and law enforcement and turn it into a first-person shooter. And if this gameplay is any indication, it kind of whips.

There's always a gaming showcase of some sort to look forward to, and in case you weren't aware, next week brings us not one, but two. In addition to the main event — Gamescom Opening Night Live — we're also getting another Future Games Show presentation.

Are you excited for Gamescom? You should be — the annual video game trade fair is set to kick off next week in Cologne, Germany, where gamers will be able to try out a whole load of upcoming titles firsthand, as well as enjoy a bunch of news and updates about games currently in the works.

Reef Entertainment has announced that Terminator: Resistance will be getting an enhanced version on Xbox Series X/S, two years after it came to PS5.
