PS3/X360 Preview - 'Terminator Salvation: The Videogame'

Terminator Salvation: The Videogame, developed by GRIN Studios, is a 3rd person action game with concentrated armed combat against all of the Skynet enemies from the film while encountering new enemies specifically designed for the game.

As a franchise, Terminator has always been about the future war. An artificial intelligence named Skynet took over the world's computer systems and ushered in a nuclear apocalypse that left humanity on the brink of destruction. The savior of humanity is an unassuming man named John Connor, who leads the rebellion and defeats Skynet. This causes Skynet to send one of its own robots, a human-disguised terminator, back in time to kill Connor's mother. As the series progressed, new twists and turns were introduced, but one thing was always certain: There will be a war in the future, and Connor will defeat Skynet.

However, with the exception of flashbacks in the first movie and the occasional video game, we've never gotten to see what this war is like. The upcoming "Terminator: Salvation" movie is the first in the series to be set in the postapocalyptic world. The video game adaptation, also named Terminator: Salvation, may not be the first game to be set in the postapocalyptic future, but it's the first time that players will get to control John Connor.

This review features a lot of images from the game - cool!

and New Pictures from Terminator Salvation

New pictures of the T-600 series Terminator, on the other hand, evoke horror as much as fear with the imperfectly grafted on skin hanging on these scarecrow Frankensteins like so much dead meat, and doing an exceptionally poor job of covering up their true inhuman nature. More primitive than Arnie's T-800, for sure, but no less menacing.

Really creative people designing this stuff.

New Concept Art from Terminator Salvation...

Speaking of robots, some newly released concept art offers a more detailed look at early designs for the moto-Terminators we've seen in some of the clips. In these early versions, the Terminator seems to be riding the motorcycle, but from the what we've seen of the movie so far, it's seems that it eventually evolved into a more thoroughly hybridized version. Wicked deadly looking in either incarnation.

Very impressive Moto-Terminators!

All of the clips feature John Connor broadcasting his call for resistance, but it is clearly the robot action that steals the show.

Awesome action!

Salvation by cyborg: McG helms next chapter in 'Terminator' saga

It's safe to say that any die-hard Terminator fan would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of the office where Joseph McGinty Nichol met with James Cameron to discuss Terminator Salvation, the fourth installment in one of most successful science-fiction franchises of all time. In one corner you had Cameron, who co-wrote and directed the original Terminator in 1984 and went on to make such revered action films as Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and True Lies. And in the other corner sat Nichol—or, as he's more commonly credited, McG—a music-video director who broke into feature filmmaking with the Charlie's Angels movies, which were filled with the kind of silly, deliberately over-the-top set-pieces Cameron has always avoided. Now McG was about to continue the Terminator legacy and he felt he couldn't do so without first paying homage to its creator in person.

McG rocks!
