We recently got the chance to admire and test the new game by GRIN and Halcyon Games: Terminator: Salvation. A new game based on the fourth Terminator movie which will arrive in cinemas this coming June. Can the hero, John Connor, finally take down the artificial intelligence Skynet or will it need a fifth part?
The story plays in 2016, two years before the new movie. Judgment Day has come and gone, its trailers after eight years still clearly visible, endoskeletons are searching through the ruins of Los Angeles for human resistance and hope this way to end all of humanity. You, as foot soldier, try to end this but the military action to take down Skynet failed. Several units are now spread out between the ruins with ruthless T-versions on their heels. Helping your fellow resistance fighters becomes a struggle for life.
The new Terminator: Salvation will be a typical third-person shooter with the known cover system and it quickly became clear the makers have taken over the basic principles from their other game, Wanted: Weapons of Fate. Another thing that we immediately noticed is the quite linear environment, no side quests just straight to the point action. During the many fights, the linearity does tend to blur and you start to feel like the action is playing around the main character. Enemies will flank you, shoot your cover or go for full frontal assault. Taking cover is not an option.
