As if a new Ghostbusters game wasn't enough, it looks like there's a new Terminator game in development too - though not for a while.

Chances are the new game and film will tie in with the TV series. But if it means we get to see more of Summer Glau, I'm all for it

tv series? what tv series! Did i miss something. And T2 is still one of the best of the movie triology!

Yeah I Think its aclled Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles or something like that, when Virgin one launched it was in their promo reel.

Found IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0851851/

Terrible TV show. They should just leave the franchise alone.

craigey1 · 16th Nov 2007, 11:58

Has is started already??

Bursar · 16th Nov 2007, 12:08

I think it's due to start early next year on VirginOne.

craigey1 · 16th Nov 2007, 12:15

Thanks. I thought so. Just wondered how Hiren knew it was "terrible".

Bungle · 16th Nov 2007, 12:26

Must admit to being a big fan (at the time) of Terminator Future shock. One of the first (IIRC) FPS to have Vehicle use as part of the game. Look forward to seeing how this pans out.

Hiren · 16th Nov 2007, 12:26

Caught half of the pilot when it aired on VirginOne. Also all the reviews I've seen of it say it's pretty cack.

Bursar · 16th Nov 2007, 13:41

I thought the pilot was alright. The guy that plays 'The Terminator' is just 'generic looking hard man' and doesn't seem to fit the role well. But it's certainly worth watching out for when it comes on. If it's pants, just don't bother watching the rest of the series.

Throw Crysis into the mix and I think it's fair to say that its been a good week.

Looks like Arnold needs to get back in Olympia shape. Poor governor...

Ha, what are they going to do for the Terminator? Maybe they will just leave the skin off all of them since SkyNET doesn't really need to have phony Terminators...

Wait... so which of the 3 Ts is going to star? The first generation would make sense, but then again time travel is reaaaaally confusing.

Nah, women make the best terminators

Hells_Bliss · 16th Nov 2007, 15:16

how is the Governator going to film T4? I thought he said no movies while he's in politics?

johnnyboy700 · 16th Nov 2007, 18:17

I thought Arnie said he be available by the time the next film came around. Anyway he might be a little too old to play the part by then so they'd have to find someone else - pleeeaaasse don't let it be Vin Diesel!!!

Oh, and I agree about Future Shock, it was brilliant in its day. If memory serves wasn't this one of the first games to get mouse look working properly (most of you young whippersnappers don't realise what we had to put up with in the olden days!) and let you actually use vehicles?

PS Ghostbusters has the potential to be brilliant - how good would either co-op or multiplayer be!! Just imagine online Ghostbustin!!!! The only problem is if the thread I spotted elsewhere is pans out, the one about Sony holding and keeping the rights - what a tragedy it would be if they kept this for the PS3.

wolff000 · 16th Nov 2007, 18:43

the terminator games have not really intrigued me yet maybe this one will be different. Ghostbuster game however will hopefully be wicked. i loved the cartoon and movies. i really hope it turns out well. my only fear is that it looks like Ernie Hudson aka Winston Zeddemore doesn't appear to be involved. I hope they get him for the voice-overs as anyone else just wouldn't sound right.

completemadness · 17th Nov 2007, 18:30

I thought the terminator franchise died with terminator3, While not making it into the list of "worst films ever" it was pretty bad

But now we get another film, AND another game, oh jeez, my hopes for this game are pretty low after the last one ....

Bladestorm · 18th Nov 2007, 10:51

I think the odds of the game being decent go up a bit with the studio being owned by the group responsible for the whole thing, the team will be more motivated if they directly benefit from putting out a good game and having success, moreso than some team that was just hired and likely paid X amount for putting a game out on time.
