Now being i love programming 3d games, and i was SO DISSAPOINTED at the Atari Game: Terminator 3:War of the Machines, i'm going to program my own. Don't worry it'll be free.

Some differences about my game, and Atari's nasty work.

1.) Unlike Atari, i did not create my own stupid looking cyborgs.
2.) Unlike Atari, i did not make the game so brutally boring, after 30 minutes you want to stop.
3.) I'm not worried about money, and a deadline to finish it.
4.) I WILL HAVE THE T-800 Model.

Can you believe they didn't even include the original terminators, from the movies in Atari's game?!?! Except the Mini-HK, and T-1.

I've been working on this game (models namely) for a year now... so don't expect me to quit.

By the way just for fun, here's a poster:

2 problems, 1 you can see the colour differences between the layers on your poster, and you cant gat an esrb rating prior to the finished article of the game, and a game poster would usually have the developing company at the bottom,

sounds cool anyways, it will take alot of time to get it better than atari`s one, especially if your just a one man army

3. The rights to Terminator games belong to Atari... your best line of defence from the lawsuits is preying they don't find your game and never file one.

i looked at teh cover of that new game and already foresaw it was crap. good luck on your game, maybe have to change its name etc to avoid legal battles, or i think making it freeware is good, cause its non profit.

Hhhm......After a years work, you aren't going to get people excited about your game with a poster like that. Maybe you should show some screenshots of the game.

I dont understand...you were so disappointed with the Atari effort, you decided to make your own, youve been working on it for about a year, even though the game came out only a few months ago? Have you been playing with time bubbles?

The look of the terminators freak the crap outta me sometimes. (Especially the older models!) When I first watched Terminator 1, I was in Year 4. I got piss scared, couldn't sleep, rofl

It does look blocky, but hey, how much money is going into this? lol

I have a tendancy to make websites or games easy on computers anyway. Because i once had a crappy system, and hated programs or websites that were too demanding. I just like to keep the benchwork down i guess.

He's good, but very flat. He could benefit from more polys (how many is he?)

As dark coder said, some pipes/wires would give it depth and he needs more shape to his head I think. The thigh and chest plate need work - the chest plate-get rid of that big flat plane where it joins the arm-curl it over to make it seem more of a socket.
The thigh - Thin it a little, make it less boxy.

Overall a good model though

You guys have to remember, there's going to be ALOT of these at once, i'm not sure how many i could put in. 1 of these bad boys has roughly around 1000 polys.

Yup I gotta agree...looks great for low poly...I can't wait to see a couple a hundred of them little meanies running over my screen.

can you possibly set up a little rolling demo..?

just a load of t-800's walking across the screen doing whatever animations they do... would be great..

Wow - you're actually making this. Your first post sounded just like someone who wasn't done anything but wanted to make a poster for their dream game.

Release that demo ASAP. This sounds cool

People here are too damned critical. I like the model, nice work. Keep it up and don't let *some* people here get you down. I agree that you may well run into legal problems, however.
Can't you just alter the names of the robots and change the name to something else....ummm...like perhaps "Exterminator"? I doubt they'd be able to get you just by the look of the model. Its not as though you can copyright a humanoid robot. So....change the names and I think you'll be fine.

If Atari tells you anything just do what you learn from video games and pull out a machine guna and start blastn j/k looks good. What will it be a FPS or 3rd person shooter? I wish I could actually turn my visions into reality But I have a hard time coding anything.

I dunno... Let's take Battlefield 2029 (BF 1942 mod) for example. BF2029 was canceled due to C2 and Atari thinking more people would playing BF2029, then the newly released T3:War of the Machines, but you've got to realize that the Battlefield engine, is the exact same engine as T3:WOTM. I know that doesn't make much difference, but it is interesting.
