Terminator 3 Beta Test

[TheMystic]

I've been a huge fan of the Terminator franchise since the early 80s. I've owned every single Terminator PC game to date, including the original ghetto 3D style game where you could play as Kyle Reese or the Terminator. Among all of them, Terminator 2029 was probably the best story wise and Future Shock was probably the most impressive feature wise (cool weapons, vehicles, etc.).

When the latest Terminator game was announced by Atari, I almost died from excitement. I would LOVE to beta test Terminator 3. I'm all about team based FPS games, especially ones with vehicles (BF1942 for example).

Please accept me into the Terminator beta test :).

[Andyindy]

I also love Terminator so it would be great to beta test it. Just have to hope for the best.

You'll love this then, as it's being made with the BF engine.

...as it's being made with the BF engine.

Really? That's kinda cool :)

[Andyindy]

It should be really good. I mean not all Films taht are made into games are very good but this one seems a very good idea. Thanks for informing us on the bf engine.

I can say that the PD group is really interested in getting your feedback and help polishing the game.

I'll be happy to give lots of feedback if it helps. Just glad I can help.:)

I would just like to say that this Beta Test Community is great. The best community I have ever been involved in. Well done Atari.

Are they planning to chose fans as a priority? A lot of devs don't do this, because the users often try to stay as close as possible to the movies, restricting any creativity the developers may wish to try out. If they're looking for fans, it's apparent they're trying to make it very true to the movie, which is an interesting concept.

[mgilmartin]

I always like to get the fans involved because in my mind they make the best testers, usually invest the most time and give the most and best feedback.

So yes fans are a big part of any BETA test we do.

Thanks

That's good to know. Involving fans makes the Beta slightly closer to the testers. If they are testing something that they really like they will try there hardest to make sure it becomes a really good game.

Well iI know I will.

Gilly has stated it will commence "soon", but has not said when it will start. They're probably still putting some touches into it.

[proudclod]

o sorry, didnt notice... thx :D cant wait cant wait CANT WAIT!!! I was going to create a mod for bf1942, called war of the machines, rite after watching the awsome 3rd installement of the series, but now i dont have to :D

[Andyindy]

I cant wait either. I love termintor and this sounds brilliant.

*Andy*

[Pyros]

After more consideration, I would expect it to start in 2-3 weeks at very latest. This game is due to be out by November 11th (I beleve), and the devs will want it to be gold by the end of October, which means they'll probably start beta soon if they want to get some testing in.

[Andyindy]

Thanks for that Pyros.

*Andy*

[TheMystic]

Can't wait - should be tons of fun :). Thank you Atari for bringing back FPS style Terminator games!

[Andyindy]

I can't waith either it should be great.

*Andy*

[proudclod]

im getting overly anxious, If any of you developers can give us some More details on the game, we would really be happy. i cant wait till i get accepeted!!!!! I just need to know a cuple of more details, when it comes to fps gameplay, i can help you out, and give you very useful feedback!

[Pyros]

What details are you looking for? I could probably help a bit. The game takes place after the nuke falls, and you play as either the human resistence, or as the terminators (Exoskeletons, they don't have skin covering, from what I know).

[Andyindy]

So basically it's a giant battle between the resistence and the machines?

This is going to be great and it's using the bf1942 engine. Wow. I can't wait to get accepted.

That sums it up. With vehicles too.

[Andyindy]

Sounds good. I can't wait.

*Andy*

[elhombre]

This sounds really cool! I'd really like to try it out as well.

[kidkhaos]

i have many promising games based on really good films being let down time after time (italian job, matrix, the thing to name a few) i hope, nay i pray that this time the film is done justice (and yes i am 1 of the few how liked t3, though not as much as t2)

[proudclod]

thx allot pyro....Sorry, but dont read this, cuz this is a SPOILER FOR THE MOVIE.







You know how it says that john connor is killed by the same terminator that his wife reformatted? Well, i watched the cutscene clip, and thats where it starts, the game starts off as John connor's wife reformats the terminator, and he is send back into the past, to exactly where the movie started off, and thats not all! a single player campaign is enough for me, but our most loved atari, is bringing the action of battlefield, into terminator 3!! So, even after beating single player, theres still loads of fun hours to go!:D

I'm not even positive if this game HAS single player. And if it does, I would expect it to be pretty weak. Like BF, it's more on a concentration on multiplayer.

[proudclod]

for being a t3:rotm game fan...u sure know little :P heh jk....It doesnt matter what engine they are using, all it is used for is a rendering engine, and the basic controls, go to the officioal t3 game website, and watch some videos, you will see that single player is awsome!

Sorry, I'm not a large fan of the game, I'm just a gaming enthusiest. I've heard that it was to concentrate more on multiplayer, but it seems that's been corrected from when I last heard that. Anyone interested in this game should check out this preview:

I really love the idea that the terminators get the option to have th red HUD, looks very cool. I just hope the T-X gets the option to increase her chest size just like in the films too :D

[Andyindy]

ha ha, u perv.

*Andy*

[NeverWoods]

i agree with him ;P

[Fury161]

*new poster*

hey, it was in the movies, so why not in the game? :D sooo hoping to get to beta test this, it looks great!

[Rahxephon]

Hey Betatestadmin dont suppose you could ask the devs to add the above feature seems to be quite popular, perhaps we could have it as a taunt along with Arnolds "Ill be back" :D

Any game with Arnold's quotes (from any movie) would be instant platinum.

"Enemy submarine spotted!"
"Who arrre you?"
"I'm a cop, you idiot!"
etc, etc.
