Blood Dragoon

It's a tricky subject to tackle since Robocop isn't friendly with modern "sensibilities" and that's just in thematics, gameplay is trickier to tackle because robocop himself only has one gun and an aimbot so how do you get that equalize that feeling of power without making the game to easy, and add some form of variety to make up for his one weapon. Granted you could just pick weapons from fallen enemies but aside from his handgun the cobra-cannon is the only other noteworthy weapon

Fuck Robocop. I want a Robert Cop video game.

> a modern Robocop

Nigger, even the film was a fluke. Filmed in dead ass heat of Dallas and through it something magical happened. There are zero video game directors, let alone film directors that could do it service. Show me who could make it through, make something amazing and never talk to eachother again just the same.

Neil can do the aesthetics and action enjoyably enough but he hasn't hit it out of the park again since district 9

Good God, I hope they just stick with the original character design for RoboCop. Trying to update that look incredibly cheesy look and make it more like an Apple product is such a mistake, and probably why the recent remake left a lot of people vaguely disappointed.

I also hope they don't try to make it about modern issues, holy shit.

I should get around to watching the movie one of these days.

>I also hope they don't try to make it about modern issues, holy shit.

it will be and it'll be woeful but it might look cool

Well what if shooting wasn't actually part of the challenge in the game? What if most mechanical aspects of the game were controlled by the computer and you worked in tandem with it? A cooperative singe-player?

>>15160756

Interesting but I can't figure a way to make that fun off the top of my head.

>>15160595

Also he can only walk at like 2 mph.

Was robocop 3 really that bad?

Robocop 2 was okay despite robocop looking a bit cheap

>>15160816

what if you worked in tandem with robocop switching between him and regular cops. The cops could clear pathways or set up breaches for robocop to enter to work with his slower speed. Essentially path clearing for a tank

>>15160823

It was a PG movie with a silly script and really boring braindead action scenes, but the visuals weren't that bad.

>>15160827

I hate character switching. I'd prefer the game to give some justification why Robocop can move faster now, thanks to the new hydraulic system or something. Being able to modify Robocop's stats and equipment like a light RPG mechanic would be fun too.

Then make it a modern FPS, except take out most of the concerns about damage. Small arms are largely worthless against Murphy. They don't even smear the strawberry jam on your screen, let alone ding the sweet metallic finish on your armor. You know who cares about small arms fire? Civilians.

So RoboCop gets sent in to deal with the crap that would riddle fleshy cops with bulletholes and your biggest concern is intercepting before citizens get shot and killed. You don't get wrecked, but they almost certainly will if you're not careful. So wade out into a place where you have a good line of sight on all those criminals and treat it like a shooting gallery. When the big bad tries to get away through a junkyard, pursue him like Pepé Le Pew and have a Red Dead Revolver style standoff.

This is probably one of the few times a PlatinumGames style rating system would make sense in-universe. If you let too many innocents die and rack up too many C- or D-Rank Clears, they shelve the RoboCop Program because you're just not cost-effective.

Peter Weller isn't even in the 3rd one.

The 2nd movie is good, but not great. It's more like a bunch of short episodes in a row rather than one long overarching plot.

>>15161148

It is a great work. The right minds, the right hands, making something bigger than themselves even in conflict. It is the song of Mankind.

What if they made a RoboCop vs Judge Dredd game

Deus Ex Human Revolution was nu-Robocop in everything but name.

But aside from that, because it avoids all the pitfalls of Robocop in a vidya context (slow movement, can't miss, etc.), the only other way to do a Robocop game I can think of is to do a game where you play as the criminals trying to deal with Robocop coming after them.

>>15160579

The first Arcade game disregarded almost everything and is just a very slow platformer with brawler and shooting sections. And it is a great game.

Any game must be made to be fun, and everything else must be secondary to it.

Make a Robocop game that is fun to play, put in enemies (especially the mechas) from the movies, and that is it. Trying to give excuses for everything in the game only dulls the creation of a fun game.

>>15160637

That is why companies must end, and why it is ok to steal from them.

>>15160832

Also, leftist propaganda. With: help the never people/rapefugees (all shitskins and jews) against the White Master Race.

>>15161148

Straight, White and Christian Man killing jews and niggers. That is why.

Not a Robocop game but there is an old action mech game where you play as a police robot that slaughters criminals

>>15160686

Neil is an alright director.
