Recently, the trailer for Terminator: Survivors was shared, and fans may have had a mixed response to this one. The game is an open-world survival adventure true to its roots and will set the context for players to survive against Skynet.
As exciting as the premise may seem, gamers across the board are a little worried given how the failure of The Day Before has set a pessimistic tone for upcoming open-world games. Especially if they deal with survival mechanics.
Terminator: Survivors Will Arrive as Early Access on Steam Later This Year
The game’s Steam page prepares gamers for a 7-month wait period until we’ll finally get to have a taste of this sci-fi survival open-world. However, the announcement for the same has the community a little skeptical, for very good reasons.
In recent times, games like The Day Before have left a bitter aftertaste. These are the very games that promise a lot but deliver close to nothing. Gamers are worried that Terminator: Survivors will share the same fate. However, it’s too soon to comment on the same, considering how we haven’t even seen the gameplay yet.
The trailer doesn’t show much, but it explores a solid backdrop for what exactly sets the tone in this game. There’s the involvement of the classic Skynet and a bunch of rebels trying to get through with their daily lives.
While the Timeline May Feel a Little off, the Game Sticks to Its Source Material
The trailer shows two survivors (possible rebels who are fighting against Skynet) who are looking to make it across town. Unfortunately, they have to stop for fuel and step out of their car in hopes of scavenging. As they stay cautious and feel a hint of victory, the trailer shows a T-800 ready to hunt them down.
It’s terrifying, it’s exciting, and it’s everything an open-world sci-fi game can and should be. Well, at least from the trailer alone. Some users have pointed out that it feels a bit weird to see a T-800 in a modern game. However, it looks like the game is going to be a spin-off, so maybe the timelines can be excused.
Until we get some actual gameplay footage, it’s tough to frame an opinion entirely in favor of or against the upcoming game. That being said, an open-world survival shooter set in a world that has been popularized by movies before? It sounds like an exciting idea.
