Need a Story DLC ASAP!

Dunno what they'd do considering it happens before robocop 3

I'd assume they'd be limited on the story side of things to keep it canon so it makes sense

That's easy... Robocop 3 never explained how he got the gun arm since it was a plot hole. Maybe they could do that.

They should just make their own story and forget that RoboCop 3 exists. That movie is an abomination, and should never have been made.

This I agree with. A complete disgrace to the franchise.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the store page clearly states the game takes place between 2 and 3 and tells the story of how OCP falls and allows the Japanese corp Kanemitsu in 3 to take over Detroit. So Robocop 3 can't be unofficially canon.

They can still come up with their own story with the japanese taking over. No need to go the R3 route. I bet they could do a 10 times better story with it than R3 did.

I'm really surprised that they kept 3 in canon, despite how disliked it is. One of the best things about Terminator: Resistance was getting rid of all the other Terminator movies and closing off the story.

That's not a plot hole. Not every little thing has to be shown or explained when it could reasonably happen off-camera. In Robocop 3 it's reasonable to assume that they'd keep developing new weapons and tools for Murphy over time.

That comes down to who owns the rights and acquiring the licences. Terminator Resistance was based exclusively on the first two movies because that's all Studio Canal own. They couldn't legally reference anything in the films after that because the rights kept changing with each movie - Terminator 3, Salvation and Genisys were each made by different production companies, so they had no choice on how far they could take the story.

Robocop was likely a package deal. The trilogy is still shown on TV every now and then, and is still available to buy on home video. They wouldn't want a videogame developer declaring a product that they actively sell as non-canon just because it wasn't as well received as the other two.

It still doesn't mean that they can't make a Story based DLC to introduce the weapon. You said it yourself, They wouldn't want a video game developer declaring a product that they actively sell as non-canon just because the robocop 3 wasn't as well received as the other two.

This... you can take the basic gist of basically any plot and make worthwhile entertainment out of it if done well.

Wait are you saying there were more than two terminator movies? Next thing you gonna tell is that terminator killed John Connor and retired making curtains. Craaazy.

On a different note though: I am pretty sure they do not really want too much to do with R3 b/c movie is not really popular among the fans. This is why the game takes place before that movie so they would not have to deal with that lore but instead to use the best parts from lore.

THey got both properties already no? MAKE IT SO!

[maloce]

Lets just pretend Robocop 3 doesn't exist. Like we do with Godfather 3. Just continue this.

I loved this game.

But they don't have to keep it canon... it's just a game.

Devs, JUST DO IT. The more RoboCop, the better.
