How would you go about making a Terminator video game?

schootingk gaem. u schuut @ robut. robut is kill. end gaem

At least 1 rail shooter sequence with fuckhueg truck chasing you on motorcycle.

put a terminator in it

Hitman™ style missions where you make your way through the different locales (and time periods because time travel) assassinating certain people to alter the timeline of humanity

Wasn't he like originally just some random Resistance soldier who took command in a battle when all the other officers were dead and he managed to win the battle and rallied the Resistance but he died at the end of the battle and the Higher Ups in the Resistance or whatever used him as some kind of mythical leader propaganda to keep people fighting the machines? Like they acted like he was alive and in charge from that point on because he inspired everyone or some shit?

Or am I confusing that with something different?

You play as one of the T1s during the uprising killing a bunch of humans, mission based tank shooter

>Set it during the war.
I think the future war should act as an overworld, and after doing xyz you should get missions to go to location to be sent back in time to protect/kill a target.

Resident Evil-esque with the Terminator being like Mr. X.

No, he's the actual guy, he has a picture of his mother and everything.

I hate bullet sponges
Make it so you're the terminator and you have to track down Sarah Connor while killing everything that gets in your way.

this is a good idea

>How would you go about making a Terminator
I think this is the better question

as a Terminator there would be no need for being sneaky
All you have to do is terminating a target
It doesn't matter if they find out that you are genociding half of the town as long as you have completed your objective

True, but if you just start blasting your way through town then your target could escape. You would need to approach stealthily like in the movies. Unless you had them cornered.

first you have to cut every movie after 2 out of the cannon
but that would be a dick move and everyone will compare you to disney no matter how bad the sequels were

The solution to this is clearly hacked enemy terminators T2 style, who blend in with the cast of the level until you shoot them and they don't die.

Copy Star Wars Battlefront with Skynet vs humans. Not that new disney/ea jew bullshit.

Either a super confined Alien Isolation type game where the Terminators hunt your ass all over a specific location.
Or the same premise but in an open world style LA.
Or a Dead by Daylight rip off where you play as a team of Resistance travellers who need to save a target. You all get weapons and abilities but are severely outmatched by the Terminator who's a fucking Terminator, can also be either a T-800 type who's just a tank with a lot of guns or T-1000 who only has a pistol but is faster, has tons of melee tricks can slip through certain obstacles. Also he's easily dispersed by certain highpowered weapons but that just stuns him and he regathers. Also give him some kind of spawn buff to discourage camping on his regen.
In LA.

the canon gets fucked every time they release anything anyway.

Ya mean like when sarah was under the protection of a whole police department and the T800 crawled through ventilation shafts to silently get to her?

Okay, but how will that help us build a Terminator?

>T1000 also has mimic mechanics where it can pose as a resistance member.

It wouldn't
I just hate the sequels

>open world L.A.
>only a handful of objectives to complete
>get shibble dibble and get to location/escort important NPC to location
>rogue like with persistent damage
>just a few gunshots can kill you
>In depth first aid system where just a nasty cut will see you bleed out if left untreated
>game starts with you having to steal some basic clothes and being spotted by police
>now have to go through the rest of the game acquiring medicine/weapons/vehicles while having the police and the Terminator actively hunting you
>Terminator is controlled by another human but is slow as fuck to compensate for your squishiness

T1000 still would be too op
You can't expect every shithole to have a foundry

"I'm a friend of Sarah Connor. I was told that she's here. Can I see her, please?" It certainly tried. In fact, throughout both movies the Terminators tried to approach their targets, or lure them out with deception. Imitating relatives voices was a trick in both movies, and the T-1000 even took on their appearances. They also refrained from outright killing people unless they provoked the Terminator violently. Consider that the reprogrammed T-800 in T2 had no issue with killing people, until John Connor told him not to, despite this; he didn't try to kill the bikers at the beginning even after they attacked with knives, cigar burns, pool cues and threats with a pistol and shotgun. The Terminators are incredibly stealthy.

Ah. based user of impeccable taste.

I don't expect the T800 to tank through every confrontation but he's simply not build for stealth operations

and the T1000 is way too powerful to play as

Fucking brilliant idea. Can I get a t2 versus mode? Kill/defend the target

I would probably make it with two modes of play in the campaign. One is with a resistance fighter who sabotages, sneaks around, hacks and so on for a more of a tenchu based experience. Second mode is playing a terminator tasked to kill said person which would be more action packed basically making you plow everything in your way. Game would probably work best as an Unchartee clone though a first person view for the terminator sections might work.

At the end you got to make a choice whose side you are going to pick.

Have the Terminator be a guest star in an AvP game where he's the fourth faction

Did you play the last AvP game? That shit should stay buried after that catastrophe.

Make it about the resistance. The resistance leader is a bitchy black lady with a fro and unironically says "shiiiieeet". All of the terminators are aryan. Scenes of terminators separating children from their parents and putting them in cages. There can even be a subplot about a corrupt guy, with a strangely familiar toupee, in the resistance who is colluding with the terminators.
Unironically this would be awarded every Game of the Year award, and because it is so brave and powerful, game journalist will herald it as the greatest game ever made.

>The Terminators are incredibly stealthy.
Not really. I mean in how it gathers information and tries to approach its target maybe but really he just goes to where it thinks the target is, gets confirmation that they either are or are not there, then takes them out in the loudest possible way imaginable. The T-1000 on the other hand is a little more stealthy. Locates its target gets close and kills them quietly (if able) and then leaves just as quietly. Granted that's mostly just assumption as the T-1000 still had a majority of its screen time just shooting at Arnold instead of trying to find an opportune moment to strike but I'll chalk that up to T2 being an action movie and not a video game.

Make it Alien Isolation, but replace the Alien with a Terminator and replace the space station with a major city in 1987.

Playing two opponents at the same time is a bad idea
look at Indigo Prophecy which is still a terrible game for many reasons but one major one was that it made no sense that you controlled a murderer and detectives who look for him

>XCOM style game where you have to use tactics and positioning to take down a Terminator
>old school Ghost Recon style game where a single Terminator can easily wipe you out if you're not careful
OR
>CUHRAZZZZZZY DMC style action game

The problem with Indigo prophecy was that it was a shit game some odd 1 hour after start. The double perspective thing worked for Breath of fire IV and to a degree in Call of Juarez.

You're a terminator sent to the past to kill John Connor. Because nuking the Earth was actually John's plan, to keep the Skynet from connecting all the machines in the world to achieve a singularity, and turning the world into a highly advanced utopia. Basically, machines were the good guys all along, but people don't know it, and they'll do ANYTHING to stop you.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world who has really enjoyed and completed most of Terminator games (T2 on NES, Genesis, T4 on PC, T3 was fun little break from CS/HLDM and Quake lan matches)

>Johanna Connor will be the saviour of human race and a future leader of the globalist matriarchy
>Her mom is a strong indipendent womyn who need no man and will protect and guide her
>But this time the menace is real
>A group of non-diverse European misogynists from the future, sent back in the past a killer
>This killer is a robot model Alt-Right: White Cis Male series, with the mission of kill Johanna and deny the humanity the multicultural LGBT friendly future they deserve
>To try to counter the menace the Clown World global govt send back in the past a robot as well
>Cyberdine model 101 LGB-T 800
It will be a commercial faiilure and despised by gamers but imagine the ammount of prizes and awards it will win from game "journalists".

It wasnt a shir until 10-15 min from the end were the script was obviously written by someone under effect of acids and allucinatory mushrooms.
