It seems that Titus Games have gotten down to their previously low standards yet again. This time it's murdering the once popular Robocop license.
I had seen nothing of this at all, but proceeded to the site. I remember the first time I saw the poster for the Robocop movie, and just NEEDED to see that movie. It was great in it's day and I could watch it over and over.
The Robocop game on the other hand, is total kak. Terrible graphics, awful animation and just plain boring. It's a first person shooter, and with our dear Robocop being mostly computer, you could put a ton of front end presentation in there for no good reason other than to make it look good. You know what I am going to say..
The game presentation looks like a mid-nineties computer demo, or a corporate presentation of the same period. What hell is that?!? To be stuck with the same operating system for life! I mean, could he update his kernel? Could he upgrade to RobocopXP? What about a fresh install? It looks like he is all command line, but perhaps he wants to keep SCO off his back by not going completely over to Linux? It doesn't look like he has a media player of any sort, and forget wireless.
How sad, but on the bright side he never seems to crash. Unless dipped in electrified gunk by the latest evil-doer. I bet his battery life sucks too, and what about storage? No USB thumb drives for him, no interface. Just that huge spike thing that came out of his hand, and I haven't seen many of them on the desktops in Best Buy just lately either!
The only good thing to come out of this was that in my research for this piece I found a site called Ruined Endings, where you can see what happened at the end of all those movies you just cannot watch, no matter how great your trailer park, mullet wearing, laughs at those battery operated singing fish, buddies, tells you it is.
Trapped in a machine, and Titus Interactive's game licensing deal!
P.S. You cannot mention Robocop without giving a nod to his all time drinking buddy ED-209.
