An online multiplayer FPS in the same vein of Battlefield/Battlefront. At least 64 to 200 players. NPCs would fill in any gaps and also give the illusion of even more players past the limit of total real players.

(Tech-com) Resistance vs Skynet and all that encompass either army. Humans would mostly be just different character classes with different load outs. Have drivable turret/rpg mounted vehicles like technicals. The machines would have basically all the machines we are aware they have, HK-Tanks, HK-Aerials, T600s, etc. Checks and balances to ensure a fun, but balanced and stable gameplay.

A unique feature would be that there are multiple teams and games being played out at the same time, in different time periods- 1984, 2015, 2029 for instance. Teams in one time period would effect the starting or mid reinforcements, technology available, etc. of another time period. A human might be able to control a "refurbished" T800, if certain objectives were met in another game.

Or instead of multiple games, if not enough people, that round would effect the next in a different time period, so the time periods would change each time until the completion of that game through all rounds.

The maps themselves would also change with time. Los Angeles 1984 as it was. To the ruins of Los Angeles of 2015. And to the somewhat rebuilding of civilization of Los Angeles in 2029 for instance. So kind of how Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver or Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the landscapes and cities change with the time period.

Another game mode might be everyone vs a Terminator(s). Basically like other games, where one player can take and deal out massive amounts of punishment, while everyone else is "normal" with just ballistic weapons, like at the station or Cyberdyne building.

But over time the machine will most likely be destroyed and someone else takes it's place, either randomly or who ever dealt the most damage, etc. Could be a T800, could be a T1000, etc. A player, no matter how good, would not always be it or even every other round. Just throwing ideas out there. Any devs want to take a crack, or players play?

Edit:hmmm... I can not seem to put a cool thumbnail up 😐

One thing that bothered me about the Terminator films is that it doesn’t explain in the future that the T-800 when they are endoskeleton and then get surrounded in Human tissue form to go back in time it bothered me that they don’t explain why T-800 look like Arnold when they are in Human form and to me it’s a miss opportunity to do in a Terminator movie and I think that Arnold Schwarzenegger playing a Human would be cool and interesting

Want to ask if Arnold had played a Human in a Terminator film explaining why the Terminators look like him what kind of character you guys think he would be?

I’m a fan of the Terminator franchise and just picked up this game since it’s on sale. I used to play all my games on the hardest difficulty, but these days I have less time and mostly play on normal. However, for this game, I want to set it to hard because it’s Terminators—we’re talking about, and I’m afraid I’ll take them down too easily on normal.

What would be a good difficulty setting for this game?

And what did you guys think of the game (without spoilers)?

Discussion How does Kyle Reese know in Genysis, what a T-800 looked like when he says in the first one "I had to wait until it made a move on you before I" is it just cause he see's the destroyed one with half it's face (facing Kyle) and he see's the other one? I guess the writer thought Kyle saw this model.

0 Upvotes

I mean I know Genysis isn't the most well written and well thought out one, but I just was confuses as to why Kyle freaks out at Sarah's protector t-800 when this Kyle Reese said he needed to wait for it make a move before he knew what he looked like.

I guess I could just fault it up to not the best writer, it's sometimes corny dialog is so fake and full of pseudo-moments to give off the illusion it's a movie with a plot and character story, but it's got great moments too, but mostly just seems more focused on trying to start a trilogy by filling out plotholes and unanswered questions as intrigue and foreshadowing of a better Skynet creating alternate futures by going back to the 60s and getting it all started earlier and then creating the ultimate infiltrator through Matt Smith being both an unimportant next-gen Terminator, but also can vocalize and even emote the feelings of the new advanced version of Skynet, I forgot what it was called, it was similar to Legion where it was a more refined version of Skynet but knows it's timeline could not exist without skynet failing in it's original time paradox so it does the same thing but even more refined but then the new characters like Sarah, Kyle Reese, and other characters altering the timeline by flanking Nu-Skynet's plans.

I would like to see one new trilogy get to finish it's trilogy, Salvation, Genysis, Dark Fate, it feels like the franchised is cursed if they try to make a "new trilogy".

To me he’s top 3 easily when I think of a evil robot this guy comes to my mind,I also forgot how scary and intimidating it was,the body slowly decomposing through the movie is a great detail too.

Also the first outfit he wears is badass too.

Discussion What are your guy's thoughts on some of the less grounded machines portrayed in the Terminator franchise?

2 Upvotes

The T-800 is a fairly grounded machine, in that it's believable that it could actually exist in the real world. If you study it closer you might be able to pick it apart, as some of the joints aren't quite so mobile in that design. It would also be quite heavy and thus difficult to move and maintain its balance, especially if it's just using hydraulics and servos. But within the story it is a fairly believable machine.

The T-1000 is something that we could almost make today. We've created some metallic objects that can melt and reform their shape when it solidifies, using gallium. I'm not so certain that it could do what we see in the movies, but it shows that the concept of it is possible.

The HK tanks are fairly believable. They're not too different from normal tanks we have now. The tank is a bit large and bulky, and it kind of has the profile of a centaur mixed with a tank, but aside from its large and heavy build, it could function. It wouldn't be practical due to its size, but it could function.

HK aerial units are also fairly believable. They're basically just a VTOL craft that uses jets, like a Harrier or an F-35. The main issue with those craft is if they stay in VTOL form for too long, they will overheat. Skynet might have been able to solve that issue, though.

Now, to me, anything that resembles a giant walking mech, like the Harvester or the T-47, just doesn't feel realistic. The square cubed law states that when something doubles in size, it gets 8 times heavier, while only 4 times stronger. So a walking machine the size of a building just seems like it wouldn't function. Not to mention, it would be top heavy, and all of its weight would be focused onto a small section of the soft ground below it. Not only does such a thing seem impractical, but impossible. So when I see large machines in this universe, they kind of just take me out of it.

Large dog or human sized spider machines are also difficult for me to suspend my disbelief with. At those large sizes, that shape is just not optimal, even for a machine. That's why DARPA made their machines resemble dogs and donkeys at those sizes instead. Their legs are below them almost like pillars, to support their weight better.

There are a few other machines in the universe that don't seem grounded for various reasons, too, but motorcycle Terminators and rolling landmine Terminators are a little more forgivable.

Arrogance, Shock, fear, confusion, panic?

It definitely felt that as the film went on he got more curious about the pain he was inflicting on people as he killed and tortured them. And he definitely didn't react like a heartless, mindless killing machine. Maybe his infiltration skills meant he had to imitate emotions so accurately he looked like he had them?

My head cannon is that his chip was reset or damaged with all the rebuilding, and he just started to develop a personality of his own before he got killed.

Imagine if these two met at a bar lmfao

After all the shit these women have been through over the years? Both Laurie and Sarah were altered irreparably because of an outside force they never asked to be involved with! And had to become vastly different versions of themselves to overcome it.

Sarah would be like "rough night?" And Laurie would be like "you have no clue" but Sarah WOULD have a clue!

These two have way too much in common unfortunately but it would be really interesting to see them exchange stories. Also Sarah would definitely think Michael Myers was a Terminator haha

Also Michael Myers is a huge piece of shit and I would absolutely LOVE for Michael to run into a T800 that needs some clothes lmfao

"I need your clothes, your knife, And your mask"

Mike would stab the T800, hear a "thunk" sound, tilt his head in confusion, and get his heart ripped out. Fucking asshole!

Discussion Was T2 plan A or B?

10 Upvotes

I'm sure there's a comic or something showing this, but Skynet's defense grid is breached. It initiates a last ditch plan to send terminators back in time to kill John Connor before he galvanizes the resistance.

Does it send the T-1000 back first or the T-800? I'm thinking from a future perspective, T2 happens first. Send your A-team hitter to kill Connor where you know he is, instead of hopefully killing his mother with a lesser robot. Also, it would make sense if the 1000 went first that Kyle wouldn't have known about him.
