E3 2003 – First Look
When I got to sit down and talk to Atari, I was
treated to a video of the Rise of the Machines game which will be coming to
consoles. Afterwards, I was able to see the PC version of the new Terminator
game which looks like a cross between futuristic destruction and Battlefield
1942.
Imagine getting to play a MMOFPS where you are
running for your life in the post apocalyptic world from the Terminator movie or
hunting humans in the human versus machine game. You can select from different
jobs as a human, things like a soldier who is armed with a good range of
firepower to a medic to help in aiding your team. Humans will also be able to
utilize different vehicles as well, like the modifued
pickup trucks with the mounted machine guns found in the movies. If you are in
more of a darker mood though, you also have the option to play as the T900
machines. While they cannot crouch or go prone and are built to press forward
and kill, they are more resilient to damage. In addition, you can also play as
infiltrator (T900 with skin) to get behind enemy lines or even as an FK (Flyer
Killer). Since the machines cannot utilize vehicles … they will have air
superiority. The finalized version will also have a TI terminator, which is a
super destructive tank robot.
Terminator:
War of the Machines is looking superb so far, and is one that I was extremely
impressed with, especially since I have been a fan of games like BF1942 for a
while. Be looking for this title around November 18th of this year.
