Terminator 2D: No Fate

Mad Dog McMutt · 05-25-2025, 06:29 PM

I just found out about this game today. It's going to be released in September of this year. So it's a Terminator 2 game with what appears to have brawling sections, run and gun sections, and stealth. It's awesome how many cool old retro franchises have been getting good games lately. Has anybody played through that new Power Rangers game Rita's Rewind? Well anyway, it's about time we finally got a good 2d Terminator game. What do you all think about this?

I'm thoroughly unimpressed by these retro games that try to be chic by lazily just doing 16 bit pixels.

Don’t get me wrong this game and others like it look good but every time I see these graphics now I think people are just glorifying the 16bit generation.

I don’t think they’re lazy. Clearly a lot of effort was made but I think they’re fueled by nostalgia. There’s other 2D games that don’t use this style of graphics.

I have not played Shredders Revenge but I still want to get it. Wouldn’t mind getting Rita’s Rewind either.

I love Sonic but even they did it with Mania. A great game of course but I much prefer the look of Superstars. Both are prequels in-universe.

I don't care if the game is 2d or 3d, or what kind of style it is. All I care about is a good game that's fun. Lately there have been a ton of great games and it's nice to see some of them are based on old franchises like the Rugrats.

I don’t consider Terminator an old franchise. It’s been consistently around even if many people don’t care about it after T2. Same for Power Rangers...MMPR is just more nostalgic.

Oh ya I wanted to play Rugrats Adventures in Gameland. Being able to pick the graphics style is cool. They really went the extra mile to make 2 versions.

I just wish the Rugrats game was longer. It is way too short.
