I've been thinking for a while that they should make a high quality Terminator game, then I see this is released and think maybe my thoughts have been answered. 

 

Then I see the release date (November 15 in the UK). An announcement trailer for a game that comes out in a couple of months... 

 

OK nope, it's going to be a shit game just to market the new movie.

Completely lost interest 10 seconds into those hyper cliche squad-based DudeBro one-liner antics.

 

Single player FPS sounded cool at first until I watched the trailer.

 

I thought those were just placeholder lines while the game is in development until they hire some voice actors. NOPE! Those are the actual lines and readings!

I actually really miss all the movie tie in games. As shitty as most of them were. Even that terrible Matrix game they released with Reloaded I loved haha. If it’s got the music then I’m all over this. Looks like a really fun weekend game. 

I’ve been thinking this too. 

 

I guess I get why we don’t really see them any more. It is harder and harder to get a working product out close enough to release with the movie. I doubt the licenses are cheap. And even 8-12 y/o are more discerning and millennial parents are no strangers to online research, and remember how shit some of those games were. 

 

Licensed shovelware targeted above a 6 year old may not be worth cost.

I remember having fun with the movie tie-ins like Wanted and The Bourne Consipiracy.  This Terminator game looks like Call of Duty with a Terminator skin and that could be fun for a bit.

When I was a kid my dad bought the Terminator 2 arcade cabinet for our house. Played the hell out of that. Those machine guns created a ridiculous racket when they vibrated :)  That's the only Terminator game I need in life.

I remember that... talk about a quarter muncher! I believe it was 50 cents to a dollar to play too! The Terminator 2 Pinball machine was pretty dope too.

Huh. I knew movie tie in games generally sold well, but I've never known anyone who bought them, let alone liked them. My family avoided them like the plague, I figured they mostly made money from unknowing parent/grandparent sales. I remember playing some A Bug's Life game on the PS1 that was just terrible.

I owned a lot of movie tie-ins over the years.

 

Goldeneye - N64

Batman Returns - SNES

Alien 3 - SNES

007: Everything or Nothing (not a movie per se, but used Pierce Brosnan's likeness and they treated it like it was a movie) - Xbox

Lord of the Rings movie games - Xbox

Die Hard Trilogy - PS1

Robocop - NES

One of the Harry Potter games, I think it was Order of the Phoenix - Xbox 360

Total Recall - NES

 

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. Not all of them were good, but most of them were at least playable. Except for Rambo, which I played at a friend's house. Fuck that game.

 

Strangely enough I do remember playing a Terminator game on SNES but I don't know which one it was. I remember it was hard as hell though. 

 

EDIT: It was Robocop vs Terminator!

Goldeneye was a movie tie-in game and is regarded as one of the best games ever made... just sayin' :p

 

Does that really count since that was released years after the movie? lol

 

Most of the time when we mention movie tie-in games it's in regards to games coming out with the movie's theatrical release because it's used as more of a marketing product.

 

I do remember the Batman Begins game to be OK. Good enough for a rental, which is what I did.

Why wouldn't it count? It's literally based on the movie. 

 

Like I said when we usually talk about movie tie-in games it's when the game releases at the same time as the movie. The shovelware kind. Golden Eye 007 for N64 wasn't a rushed marketing tie-in, hence why it was so good. It was less a movie tie-in game, and more a game based on the movie from a few years back. Does that make sense?

well generally speaking I’m talking about games from the Genesis/SNES era. Games like Aladdin, Lion King, Stargate, True Lies, Robocop. Hell even the terrible Jaws and Nightmare on Elm Street games on the NES I loved.  That Matrix game is the only “modern” game I can think of off the top of my head that I loved.
