The Ghostbusters game a few years ago continued the story and was well received. Its amazing Terminator doesn't have more games because this series really lends itself to that.

Theres a terminator future war fps game being made currently, supposed to come out before the year is over iirc
For some reason, there were several Terminator games in the 90s, then they slowed it down when T3 came out and its really just been movie tie ins since
Old terminator games ranged from straight fpses to free roam hunting for Sarah Connor.

The only ones I remember are the NES game and the arcade gun game. I'm sure there were several crappy ones that no one paid attention to though.

Never played them but, main ones im referring to are Bethesda's from way back.
What clips Ive seen of them looks like they weren't bad. But then I like older FPSes so im biased

Just got out of this. Absolutely ridiculous movie. I mean I was laughing harder than I do at most comedies

Airplane battle to dam sequence was pretty epic.

I had a feeling this was going to happen. They got me all excited by showing a kick-arse 80 series land cruiser in the trailer...hoping that would make up for them throwing another movie franchise into the crapper. Screw that.

I have to say, seeing Dark Fate I now appreciate the frick out of Terminator Salvation. For those of you that have Hulu? It's streaming on it right now.

It is the ONLY terminator that actually has a T-2 like vibe. It is also the only one that actually HAD actual battles against Terminator, a unique plot but most importantly a General John Connor, not the kid that as in T-2, not the whimp in T-3, not the dead kid in T-DF, or bad John in Genisys. Honest to God, John connor doing what he has to do.

The cinematography was nice to look at as the different type of machines was amazing to see. I am glad Christian Bale fought for John Connor to actually be a show of force instead of being replaced by a Terminator.

MCG would have made it more of a mess if they had regulate John Connor to a nothing role. John connor rescue Kyle Reese from a processing camp. McG orignal script would have crapped all over that.

The weakest part of that entire movie was the Marcus Wright role, there was no need. There was no funny puns, quips, anything of the likes. It was a war movie showing the war against Skynet, the legit war.

However, they did a bunch of callback to it, like the third act in the factory, that was clearly a T-2 throw back, the power cells Connor lace with explosive? That was a throw back to T3. Him facing off a T-800 solo? That was a throw back to to T-1 how Sarah faced off against that on her own and it's terrifying nature.

Not to mention the homage where John said "I'll be back," clearly reference to his uncle bob, or playing Guns and Roses to jump that Motocycle terminator, the same Gun and Roses song from T-2 showing his taste in music has not changed.

It was much MUCH better than Dark Fate/Genisys and T-3. It gave us a respectable John connor.

Honestly it was the best of the four sequels. The stuff they changed kind of sucked but the plane scene was bad arse. My only complaint.

T1 was scary
T2 was scary. They were intimidating.
Since T2 you know they are going to win in the end with great sacrifice.
I would have preferred the entire movie just be about Sarah trying to kill Carl and not even have Dani and Claire.

I appreciate that they tried to make a post judgment day terminator movie but just having John Connor existing as a protagonist doesn’t make a good movie. I thought Bale’s version was pretty bland tbh. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen or anything but there’s a reason they didn’t make any more post JD Terminator movies.

Okay I’m watching salvation right now in case it’s way better than I remember it and 20 minutes in it’s already ridiculous.

The Marcus Wright stuff makes no sense. He’s basically a T-800 but doesn’t know he’s a T-800 and he somehow exists before T-800’s have been developed? How does that work?

Why did he only wake up after a violent explosion in the bunker?

Why didn’t they put John in the brig after disobeying orders and risking the sub’s position?

The Russian guy says they intercepted a Skynet communication saying everyone in the room would be dead in 4 days? Who is Skynet sending messages to exactly?

If John is #2 on the list shouldn’t the resistance leaders maybe rethink this whole treating John like a grunt thing?

How does Skynet of 2018 know John Connor and Kyle Reese are important people? I guess they sent other terminators back to tell Skynet of the past who to kill? Makes as much sense as anything else I guess.

His character just feels out of place. It was one of my biggest complaints about Salvation.

I think one of the other things that ruined that movie for me is that it just felt incomplete. I understand it was originally supposed to be the first movie in a trilogy, and that never played out. So maybe that’s why. But because of that, it feels like it was just a waste of time.

Salvation, Genysis and Dark Fate were all intended to start new franchises.

They should do a Terminator vs Predator or Batman v Predator movie.

There was a Terminator vs Robocop comic series that got made into a pretty decent SNES game.

Pretty much the only thing left they could do with this IP that would be even remotely interesting.

I got sick of Salvation so I switched to T3 and holy shite this movie is awful. Savior of humanity John Connor easily outsmarted and overpowered by Claire Daines. Honestly prefer the character getting gunned down to this.
