Nearly 25 years later, Terminator 2 is getting a new video game
- zitterbewegung 2y agoThere was a recent video game in the terminator universe that is a good video game and respects the lore more than the movies after terminator 2.

- OptionOfT 2y agoThe soundtrack does an excellent job making you feel the how desolate everybody feels.
- armcat 2y agoTerminator 2 has aged so well. Even my son who is Gen Alpha is incredibly impressed with the movie. We are both very much looking to this game as well!
- conception 2y agoGreat practical effects always age well. It’s unfortunate few producers are willing to pay for them.
- DecentShoes 2y agoYeah but Terminator 2's most memorable effects were famously CGI
- toast0 2y agoFlying a helicopter under a bridge was practical.
- dmurray 2y ago> practical effects My favourite piece of movie trivia: Terminator 2 had the biggest CGI budget of any movie to that date, but some of the scenes that most obviously needed CGI - where the T-1000 shape shifts into the body of an actor who is already in the same scene - were solved by casting actors who had identical twins. https://terminator.fandom.com/wiki/Leslie_Hamilton_Freas https://terminator.fandom.com/wiki/Leslie_Hamilton_Freas https://terminator.fandom.com/wiki/Stanton_Twins https://terminator.fandom.com/wiki/Stanton_Twins
- rightbyte 2y agoHah no way. I thought those scenes were CGI, overlaying 2 videos, of some sort.
- saucymew 2y agoI was seven years old, and T2 was the first rated R film I saw which gave me horrific apocalyptic nightmares (see: Sarah's dream). Completely worth it.
- codingrightnow 2y agoSaw it at probably 11. Had the same nightmares for probably 15 years. Really shouldn't have watched it. Woke up many times looking out the window for the blast from Sarah's dream that I had just seen in mine.
- Yoric 2y agoHum. I did that last week. Might be because of the Fallout series, though. Or because of everything happening at the moment.
- Blackthorn 2y agoYou can tell that Terminator 2 is fiction because the tech guy takes responsibility for what he unleashed on society.
- falcor84 2y agoWell, arguably he only takes responsibility when held at gunpoint.
- sean_bright 2y agoHe takes responsibility when he is shown what will happen if his work continues. He also sacrifices his own life.
- animal531 2y agoI don't like that scene. Any real tech guy would go, "Wait a minute, if he came back from the future to sire John, wouldn't that mean that even that wasn't the first timeline? So that would imply that even without the hardware we have in the lab that someone somewhere will invent something similar, which will then in turn lead to this Skynet and so forth?"
- FirmwareBurner 2y agoGood thing they only made 2 Terminator movies
- api 2y agoOh yeah, like the three Alien movies: Alien, Alien Romulus, and Aliens. I see what you did there and I did the same. :)
- windowshopping 2y agoWhen you explain your joke it makes it funnier
- toast0 2y agoAnd two Star Wars movies.
- hnuser435 2y agoAny pricing on the physical game? Can't imagine this type of game being $69.
- turnsout 2y agoMaybe if they repeat "25 years later" enough times they won't need to check the math on 2026-1991
- dude187 2y agoI was really doubting my perception of time for a minute there lol. T2 already felt like an older movie when the new minimum hit
- pyrophoenix 2y ago35 years later!
- ofrzeta 2y ago"a retro-style sidescroller". Wow, really? Are arcades also coming back? Just like in the movie.
- johntitorjr 2y agoSuch a good genre - contra, metal slug, ninja turtles, streets of rage, ... I hope that someday I can feed quarters into a cabinet running this new T2 game.
- carbonbioxide 2y agoBrings back memories of those arcade side scrolling games, looks so good
- milesrout 2y agoMake something new! For heaven's sake, why can't people make something original.
