better than gears? good luck!

i love love how io9 slams unoriginality in hollywood scifi, and then pimps a tie-in game over an original sci fi game.

@grime: that's not really it at all I'm saying it's going to be awesome and could be better than gears, and gears is pretty fun especially when you drown in blood of a giant creature. But I'm saying Terminator might take it over because it's the Terminator! Reply

@Meredith Woerner: But why the comparison to Gears at all? Reply

@adamczar: A rag-tag band of bad-ass future soldiers taking the fight back to the perpetrators of the human genocide in a last ditch effort to ensure the continued existence of our species? You're right; Gears and Terminator bear no resemblance to each other at all. Reply

@adamczar: Probably because I'm deep in it right now and that's all I've been talking about. It takes me more than two days to beat a game. Plus it's got a ton of hype right now how can you not talk about it. Reply

@Meredith Woerner: except 'the terminator' hasn't been the terminator since T2. movie tie-in games are so frequently bad they're often dissmissed until proven otherwise. movie tie-in games for the second sequel to many doubly so. Reply

@tetracycloide: You may be right but I'm insanely optimistic about Terminator Salvation and all the things that will come from it. The concept art really put me over the edge especially the motorcycle terminator. It's all I have! Reply

@Meredith Woerner:


There's no way in hell that a Terminator game is ever going to be better than a Gears of War title. Keep dreaming Meredith!

@grime: Gears of War is hardly original.

Originality imho, comes not from branding but from what you do with it.

Gears is a polished game, for sure. But its not groundbracking, and its story isnt that original either.

@Meredith Woerner: reading your articles about terminator is like reading letters to santa from poor children that request obscenly expensive presents. Reply

@tetracycloide: but I really want a robot motorcycle that wants to kill me and I've been really good all year! Reply

@Meredith Woerner: i remember REALLY enjoying the T3 game for the PS2. you were JACKING HK's in the future and riding them around blowing shit up like crazy!


anyway, why no coverage of games on io9? scifi is so huge in games, but we only see analysis of books and film, usually. too much crossover with kotaku??


i must also thank io9 for the link to the animated poster above: beyond awesome! Reply

@twDarkflame: sorry, i meant original IP. Reply

@twDarkflame:


Is Terminator's story any better? Is it original? I sure as hell don't think so. Reply

@KiddChaos: Woah, no need for sarcasm. Just asking. I haven't played Gears 2 yet so was unfamiliar with the story. Reply
