Terminator: Resistance

So was T3 really not counted?
Not sure when this game was made, but pretty sure it was after T3, and at the ending it said only 3 T series used the time machine.

1st one goes back and starts the Terminator move. 2nd was the start of little kid Connor in T2. Now for the bs part of this ending. Saying the 3rd Terminator sent back in time, was what started this game.

For a game to not count many others, and especially the 'infiltrator' movie we had and was possible the inspiration for this enemy, kinda left me upset.

Over all, loved the combat, gather to make new ammo, grenade classes, health packs, lockpicks. Hacking is literally frogger. How well you complete missions will also affect the others in liking you and falling for what you say, 'like leave this place. not sure but pretty sure its gonna get equavlot to nuking.'

Improvement choices:

Fix up how many are being sent back. <Biggest upset if not done.

Have mention of movie 'infiltrator' be mentioned, like "a Metal head who didnt even know he was a Metal Head." by a soldier in Connor's group.

Possible ref to T3, which can be joked by soldiers. "Man, metal heads either picking skeletons or guys. If they were to pick female look, we all possible dead by now."

The third Terminator sent through is the one that was chasing Jacob Rivers.

T:R is main based off the first two movies future war.

However is doess seem to be taking some inspiration and bits and pieces from the alter movies. The T-850 for example.

This. The less you take from T3 and the sequels the better. In fact the best thing about 3 was the ending.

I liked 3 personally, maybe not the best terminator movie and overdid it a bit with it's humour and tone (and really wasn't the sequel everyone wanted as we wanted a full movie set in the future with basically the plot of terminator resistance) but it is still a pretty kick ass action movie and it mostly got things right as opposed to every movie after which took alot of liberties with it's visual design and aesthetic and tone

Terminator resistance is not associated with T3.
there is no t-850, I will prove it

And where is 808,825,850 here !? For example, when you open the dock ruins map in the editor where the boss is an infiltrator, he is signed by CH_T800SkinPlasmaMinigunV, let's go further what these numbers mean, this is a purely game index means the type of terminator's weapon, for example 808 flamethrower, 825 two red plasmaguns, 820 purple plasmagun, 825v understandable and so , 850 infiltrator with plasma minigun is so clearer?

The T-850 Infiltrator in Resistance is extremely damage resistant compared to the T-800s that you fight. He absolutely soaks up plasma ammo, and this lines up with the T-850 introduced by Terminator 3. It was hardened, had its intelligence increased slightly, and was a response to humans capturing Skynet's weapons and using them to dispatch Terminators. The game implies that the T-850 is somewhat intelligent, since it keeps learning the current time loop, going back in time, and telling past Skynet about what happened.

T-800 models are canonically quite vulnerable to plasma, and this is true when you encounter most of them. But the T-850 is much tougher.

The issue with Terminator 3 is that Reef/Teyon have the rights to Terminator 1/2 and nothing else. They licensed Terminator from StudioCanal, who own things like the classic endoskeleton designs, all the materials that appeared in T1, in T2, and in the art books and such for those movies. The people who made T3 licensed elements from StudioCanal, just like this game did. But StudioCanal don't own Terminator 3 as a film. The T-X, for example, can't appear in Resistance. But the T-850 is oblique enough to work.

The T-850 Infiltrator is a nod to T3 without directly involving a film that they don't have the legal rights to. As a fan of Terminator 3, I appreciate it.

I liked T-3 :-)
I liked T3 and it was my favorite for a while.The terminatrix was not lining up with the story,A t1000 shapeshifter can’t fire projectiles or flames.To time travel can’t transfer chemical weapons.

who cares, T3 sucked and was just a pointless disappointing retread of T2. it's weird that even arnie was ok with doing that since he had exhibited a drive to take risky roles that push boundaries for over a decade before that movie. and T3 does neither of those, and actually does exactly the opposite. guess they just offered him a dumptruck load of money and he didn't really feel he had anything to prove at that point. but he himself should've said 'wait, didn't we already do this movie?'

the future war, what this game is about, SHOULD HAVE BEEN T3. probably you'd want it written a little better than this game (which is ok for a game!), but it absolutely should've focused on the future war. when they finally did it with salvation, well, that sucked too. and it didn't look like it should have= like how this game looks. so really, why should this game, which does things correctly, need or want to acknowledge movies which failed at really doing much of anything correctly?

It looked exactly as it should have done. Salvation takes place much earlier in the war when there were still some remnants of the human military and Skynet didn't have plasma weapons yet. The T800 was brand new and it would be some time before they would be mass produced.

that's my point though, it shouldn't have been some earlier time. who cares what the explanation for why it sucked and didn't reflect the T1 flashbacks is? it should have been based on those glimpses of the future war, just like this game was. i don't care what the reasoning behind it is. it was wrong, and it sucked. sure there are OK moments and ideas here and there in that movie. but by and large it's forgotten by almost everyone, even a lot of people who like terminator in general. for a reason.

if they had gone with the wasteland rubble/bunkers look, modeled more closely on the future wars scene in T!, as this game was, and if it had the plasma weapons and some large scale battles with the terminators, some scenes of people sneaking by them, more depictions of infiltrators infiltrating bases, all that kind of obvious stuff, it probably would have been more memorable and liked. maybe could've even saved the franchise. but again, honestly, it should've been what we got instead of T3. the franchise is like 3 movies beyond borked at this point.

Terminator 3 is a great film that managed to provide a satisfying conclusion to the main storyline while deconstructing aspects of Terminator 2 such as John Connor, the masculinity of the Terminator, and generally realigning Terminator with the bleakness of the first film instead of the Rambo 2-like "bad stuff happens but the good guys win anyway" vibes of the second film. It also has one of the best vehicle fight/chase scenes in cinema. It's a super tight movie. No fat. Super brisk pace, very clear story, very coherent stakes. It's super watchable.

Accusing T3 is being a retread of T2 has always been a somewhat pointless criticism because T2 is a retread of T1 with a teenage self-insert character and more car chases. T2 took a brooding, atmospheric slasher film and made the loud noises and jangling keys version for a popcorn action movie audience.

Terminator 3 is interesting in that it is wholly unambiguous. No more pre-Judgement Day stories. That loop is closed. Every other Terminator movie since T3 has been a failed attempt to spawn a new trilogy of movies. Terminator 3 is not interested in spawning a new trilogy. This finality is why all the other Terminator movies retcon it. They can't deal with its... non-franchise-friendly leanings. Dark Fate is a shameless ripoff of T3 that uses multiple plot points and action scenes from it, and does them way, way, way worse. Even killing John Connor comes from Terminator 3, and Terminator 3 did it way better.

Agree 100%. the hate for T3 is completely unwarranted. The only thing I will agree on is that it was a little to liberal with it's humour at times. The biggest problem i have with it is that it was a missed oppurtunity to basically do what Terminator Resistance has done and do a prequel to T1/T2, everyone was just young enough to pull it off. Now if they were to for some reason keep making them they would have to recast everybody and that's an instant turn off for me

These are just file names. Pay attention to the in-game names e.g. the Terminator with the flamethrower is the 808 IIRC.

sorry guys, t3 is simply mediocre. it's absurd to call it 'great'. and yes, it is a retread of 2 and yes that is valid. T2 is not a retread of T1. T2 'flips' the concept of T-1 around a bit, by making the same terminator (not same exact but another of the same) from the first movie a good guy/protector. yes in general it's still 'two things sent back, one to protect and one to kill', but it ups the ante so much it can't be said to be a retread. you actually have john connor, you have the good terminator, you have a NEW t-1000 which is a completely new concept. you have a point where they try to stop judgement day. absolutely not a simple retread.

what did t3 introduce? oh yeah, another liquid metal terminator. but this one was slightly different because it could produce weapons and was a 'hot chick'. ok wow real creative. and it's just another good guy arnie bot and bad guy liquid metal bot. the vast majority of the human race acknowledges this movie's extreme inferiority to 1 and 2. for a reason. and that goes for all sequels after 2 also.

and besides the incredible lack of anything creative in t3, the main problem is that two movies in a row where the main plot is a terminator being sent back in time to kill someone, that should've stopped there. t3 should've went on to something else, obviously the future wars. it's unbelievable that the last two terminator movies are still doing this time travel nonsense as if it's the only thing the terminators/skynet can do. or maybe it's just the only thing hollywood can 'think' of.
