Rise of the Robots trailer

[subzero2011]

Taco-Man sent me.

[RobertBobbyHill]

You can really tell that the announcer wasn't given much to work with.

[TheRadicalOneNG]

Oh shit guys, here comes the Supervisor!

[DerangedHermit]

Fights are more than just kick and punch! *shows nothing but kicks and punches*

[scorchmon]

Oh wow, my aunt sent me a t-shirt for this game, and I wore it all the time in 6th grade. I had no idea it sucked. I just thought the robot looked cool.

[yaosio]

This is the first game to ever use AI, go to hell street fighter.

[Droidflute]

@yaosio pac man.....

[supersmashbro596]

*slightly misleading advertisement*

thats what they should have said.

[MrReaper666ish]

i now have a boner looking at those graphics

[dotdotdash2]

oh damn just finished watching the final seconds of this and it was the Sega CD commercial for the game. Well regardless this is the worst game on both SCD and SNES, period. Can't believe it actually got a sequel. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!­1

[dotdotdash2]

LOL wow I never seen this commercial but all of it, and I do mean all of it, is pure unadulterated BULLSHIT. This is the worst game on SNES period. We knew it back then when it hit the streets. My roommate bought it because one of Tangerine Dream's performers did the soundtrack if I recall correctly, and wow this game sucked ass, balls, dick, asshole, and everything else to be sucked. Total 360 degree movement? not there. Adaptable AI? not there. Fun? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

[snakevids]

I just got a mint boxed copy of this. The biggest damn lie in my child hood.

[Thejordanater]

Did anyone ever sue for false advertisement? Lol class action lawsuit over buying a game that was advertised to have full 3d arenas. Dont ever remember that in the game. Did they fire the architect?

[LordPlautus]

The game is horrible. I played it. Enemies have way too hard punches and kicks, it's insane

[SuperDarkroman]

@LordPlautus

I played that game too.

Loader and Builder were very easy, but Crusher is really really disgusting !

And every enemy after Crusher sucks too !

[Zyxxs]

Damn. Mirage Studios was so desperate to sell this game that they resorted to outright LYING. Seriously, I've never seen another commercial so jam-packed with bullshit in my life.

[SSCode09]

2012 would be a future for this game.

[Desolator84]

Robot design, graphics and visual style were good. Soundtrack was awesome.

But gameplay, moveset, AI? Utterly killed the game.

[KITT171]

It sucks.

[FireDragonKaryu]

I watched this video a couple of times and the only thing I heard that WASN'T lying was - "its futuristic"

[organizedatheism]

I loved this game!! Back in the day, Rise of the Robots was the shit!!

[punipunipunisher]

@organizedatheism It's still shit.

[pokedude685]

dont play this game this hole video is lying

[SnowDOGGy]

Hahahaha! Holycrap this brings back memories! Used to play it on my 486dx2 50mhz desktop with whopping 4mb of ram and 270mb hdd. :p lol those were the days! :p

[Rich7714]

I seriously believe this to be worst game in the world! I owned it and can see why I hated it so much when I look back at it!

[Itsover90]

MY ASS!

[Johanproducties]

Why does the cyborg looks exactly like Snake-eyes...

[Torrencore]

I own this game...I hate it, yet still play it. I love the image when you lose.

[tetsu0cape]

'The Supervisor.' I got chills.

[Algahiem]

"It's first combat game to use artificial intelligence for advanced fighter complexity" - It was also the first combat game to use natural stupidity for broken game mechanics."

[PullusPardus]

i never asked for this.....

[Banty86]

That was truly one pish game.

[TheCheshireLion]

Not the Supervisor! What a lethal sounding boss.

[MrHongKongBuffet]

@TheCheshireLion

The Supervisor doesn't terrify you? I guess you don't have a job. I'd rather have my legs cut off with safety scissors than suffer through a thirty second lecture about my overly long bathroom breaks. Could you face the terror of a curt warning due to your unprofessional use of "LOL" in a business communication? You sir, are either braver than your namesake lion or are mentally unbalanced. The Supervisor is perhaps the one thing more terrifying than death itself.

[cosmostupid123]

Lol i have a magazine from '94 talking about this piece of shit. The magazine was called Mega Force and it was about praising Genesis/Mega Drive etc.

The article said "Excellent, notable, revolutionary, better than MORTAL KOMBAT and STREET FIGHT 2, superb graphics and fast-paced awesome gameplay."

I seriously want to kill who wrote that.

[VectorClash68]

I rented this for the SNES back in the day. I couldn't believe how awful it was. Controls are crap and the presentation dull. I don't remember there even being any special moves. Holy hell! Might as well be tussling with an ash can. When I think of traditional one on one fighting games, and this was billed as such, I think of fluidity of movement and precise timing. Machines are anything but graceful. If I want robot fighting action I'll get it from Virtual On. This is bottom of the barrel.

[MissyNizzy]

lol behrudy hates this game :P

[j0kkehimself]

this is hillarious

[6DireWolf9]

I cannot tell a lie, this game SUCKED ASS!

[HeavyVideoz]

@6DireWolf9 wow, no shit Sherlock Holmes.

[LaZdiZorro]

Please, James, review this shit!

[ShaneJSteele]

what... the... fudge did i just watch?

[luisr931]

@ShaneJSteele you just watch a really crappy game :/

[Criptomatic]

I actually liked this game, it's not that bad.

[beanhonk214]

This Game had potential the music and graphics were good. Too bad the moves and controls were total shit

[Souldestroy199]

See folks, games programmed on hype aren't anything new.

[TheLengend589]

I hope that poor guy who was forced to lie in this video was paid fat money.

[prectec]

this is one minute and seventeen seconds of pure lying

[meshugeah]

a game THIS BAD needs THIS GOOD promotion :) BTW OMF2097 WIN ;)

[Michaeldragon800]

Shut up you big fat lier! This game is a lie!

[jawmuncher]

THE SUPERVISOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LeightonW87]

Not being funny but the game was bad enough on the megadrive alone, why on earth would anyone want to play a "slightly" enhanced version on the SegaCD. lmao

[Pikawil64]

Is Sentinel in this broken robot fighting game?

[DingKong]

As funny as f*ck. One of THE WORST games of all time, I laughed my ass off the 1st time I played it. No matter what system it was on it total shite. No AI (despite what he says here) no variation in moves (despite what he says here) - it was a festerting turd of a game - games as bad as this only come around rarely. There were crap games, there were shit games, then there was RISE OF THE ROBOTS

[Phelan666]

Fuck ME3, I want THIS game!

The anticipation is killing me!

[goldenflame295]

we were shown this in game design as an example of a bad game haha

also look at thrill kill similar thing lol

[padawan007]

i play with this game around 1997

[pHr33kAcHu]

full 360 degree movement MY ASS

[Markus86J]

I actually bought this game back then. What a terrible mistake...

[blade004]

LOL... oh the BULLSHIT FACTOR is so thick here!! Wouldn't you just love to punch the guy who did this commentary in the head today!!!? ;)

[dinerwildie]

"proven in focus groups" !?!? WTF

worst game ever, "behrudy" said so

[mattiatorX]

HOLY SHIT I WANT THAT GAME MOMMY

[shawncartwright]

Awesome names... Driod you say?

[sergant11280]

If I remember right this was full price when it first hit the shelves and was quckly dropped down to £10 or somthing like that about a week later, worst game ever

[wondermega4ever]

Obiously when you listen this voice..you think this game could own Street Fighter, Soul calibur and Tekken put together.

[HydroAlexis]

In a cinematic 3D arena with full 360 degree movement lol even when i was young i dont think i would have believed that

[UncleFeedle]

Designed by an architect, indeed! He was a graduate interior designer, straight out of college.

[ColorzBox]

Things people do to sell a game.

[victorbarovsky]

I can't believe they used the term: "proven in focus groups".

[f00tbol]

HA HA HA...I could not stop LOL, its just too much every phrase is a joke, just when you think it could not get any more hilarious BAM! it hits you with another ridiculous comment...to be brutally honest its a very bad game, wait rephrase that- horrible game....

"Most fearless end boss to face down a cyborg THE SUPERVISOR" ...lmfao XD XD

iF you can last all five rounds my hats off to you my good sir or mam!

[colonforsecs]

this game was horrible!

[cheeselovingtree]

When I was a kid we had a copy of rise 2 resurrection. One day my brother said "HEY, WANT SOME COOL MERCHANDISE?!?!" I was like "..sure, yeah." he, still sporting this enormous grin, produced the rise 2 resurrection CD. "CHECK OUT THE OFFICIAL RISE 2 RESURRECTION FRISBEE!" He then Ran outside and threw the CD into the trees. We never saw it again, or missed it.

[DanielTNicolas]

Good lord, it's as I always feared; marketing jargon and jibberish are the same flippin' thing... 0_0

Funnier still when you know just how ORDINARY this game was... ^_^

[DragonNexus]

@DanielTNicolas

It was less than ordinary though.

Mediocre fighters at *least* let you play as more than one character.

[madspunky]

Which focus groups? I must know who were in the focus groups! My God, I would kill for an interview with these people!

[cheeselovingtree]

it doesnt have 360 degree movement

[DragonNexus]

@cheeselovingtree

Sure it does!

Forwards...back...jump up...erm...

Yeah, it's bull ¬¬

[Rampageotron]

I laughed so hard at this. I remember how horrible this game was back in the day.

[dragonps]

Oh my god that was funny, how on earth do you sell one of the worst games of all time? Some of those tag lines were legendary lmao

[silverbackape]

that game looks crap...

[monsterhunterminegar]

@silverbackape The graphics were good for the time but gameplay looks like shit!

[duim157]

better than kof xii

[HyperSonicXtreme]

I played this on PC as a kid

[propriodaroma]

I love how they mention all these robots and then you can only play as one. lmao

[deadly0nslaught]

is this a joke? i honestly can't tell

[APD123G]

OMG LOOKZ ATZ DA GRAFX!!!

[panos3320]

droid to droid action :p

[UltimaKeyMaster]

You can tell the voice was just some guy paid to read off a script and not be allowed to see the game beforehand.

If it wasn't obvious enough at the start, it should be once he reached the 3D/360 degree movement BS. XD

[ILikeShinny]

FUTURIST BATTLE ACTION

[kettenfaust]

I laughed hard. Thanks for uploading.

[mr2ange]

This surely must be a piss take?

I mean every single thing said is a lie.

[3anaurv2]

street fighter peut dormir tranquille...

[summergypsy1]

lmfao

[AGentertainment]

My friend circa 1994: This is amazing! There's this game -- and you are a cyborg or robot or something, and you fight other robots and they read your moves. It's in 3D and everything! It's going to be better than Street Fighter!

Me: Maybe... but not Mortal Kombat. Robots can't bleed.

[theflyingmusician1]

This is the crappest game that was ever released. More than kick or punch was it?

[twenty1aboutdis]

OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[OscarMaris]

OMG the supervisor!

[Gopherbassist]

Proven in focus groups?

[iblamethegovt]

sweet fancy moses, that looks like such a frustrating piece of shit.

[moebear]

Wow, the announcers description of the game is the complete opposite of what's going on in the video.

[rodrigokakashi]

The announcer sounds all EXCITED, the action seems boring; yet I bet people WERE hyped for this.

...things haven't changed much, have they?

[joeottoson]

I'd be more impressed by the "more than kick and punch" drama if they didn't show the player doing a jump kick 50 times in a row, managing to miss the opponent each time...

[KaiManga12]

Drama and excitement? Why, I can practically feel the drama and excitement oozing from this commercial alone!

[ashtiany123]

this trailer shouldve been illegalllllllll

[JMDroogheid]

MORE THAN KICK AND PUNCH??!!!

[grimlock047]

wow, no wonder it was overhyped

[moiNinja]

lol .. at first i thought it was a joke ... but later i realized that its Real trailer ... lol ... i have this game and it's exactly the way the said about it in the trailer ... but the other way around :)

[xceedchaos]

wow. con.

[otakudreadlocks]

la musica era buena eso si, un clasico

[pokeninja777]

When I was little I played this game and that Crusher droid or whatever scared the FUCK out of me.

[talonvelarde]

"a futuristic motif proven in focus groups"  xD

[supergamma2010]

terrible game

[lewizX30]

'Awesome 5 round Bouts are more than kit and punch!'

PlayItBogart:Yeah theres also jumping!

[Adastra14]

"360 degree freedom of movement"??

yeah right .....

[jeystonemusic]

lol...what a claim eh? more like shitty 2d sprites on a pre-rendered 3d backdrop that only zooms a little at the start

[Adastra14]

i remember getting all excited with this coz i was getting my 1st 3D fighting game.....it felt painful

[jeystonemusic]

u gotta give it to these guys tho, they conned a lot of kids, and probably made a decent bit of money..all because it had some '3d'..

[CleetusSilversurfer]

They actually put more effort into this trailer, than the actual game.

[jaymaster007]

I couldn't help but fuckin' laugh at how it sounds like an infomercial on TV.

BILLY MAYS HERE WITH 'RISE OF THE ROBOTS', THE BEST FUCKIN' GAME EVER! BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!!"

Ridiculously funny.

[NameNotNeeded]

.....................

[elementInfinitium]

OMFG GIVE ME TWENTY THREE COPIES NOW

[EscapePodFilms]

This trailer is absolutely amazing.

[jerome470]

the snes version not the sega

[jerome470]

u haveto admitt. it did hav some good ass music

[fotakatos]

@jerome

The music came from Brian May - so what else would you expect. ;)

[plasticbox1990]

what crap marketing people come up with

[GuNiShMeNtUK]

Got to laugh at the style of early 90s game hype! Thing is although this game was always trash, people would actually be hyped by killer lines like the fact the levels were designed "by an architect"

[NukeOTron]

"In a cinematic 3D arena with full 360 degree movement" LIES!!!

"Rise of the Robots features fighting moves concieved by a martial arts expert" Michael Bay?

"VR-Inspired Backgrounds" would be all red.

"First combat game to use artificial intelligence" LIES!!! That title goes to Pong for the Computer opponent.

"Opponents actually learn from their mistakes" LIES!!!

"Awesome 5 round bouts" shouldn't exist.

"...futuristic motif proven in focus groups." Greeeaaat.

[DragonNexus]

@NukeOTron

"Would all be red" you're thinking of Virtuaboy. VR helmets at the time had full colour but were V expensive because of it.

But yeah, the rest was lies.

"Multiple rounds are more than kick and punch" yeah, there's also screaming "WHY CAN'T I CHOOSE ANOTHER CHARACTER!?" or wondering why all the attacks do the same thing.

[HeavyVideoz]

@NukeOTron Don't forget: "This game is not just punch and kick!"

But come on! They even put in the trailer the robot kicking and falling...

[viTja]

they forgot FAIL-droid

[Zycyzyx]

Wow...every line is priceless. :D

[jesse41993]

I love that the narrator for the trailer says its more than just kick and punch even though all you see them do is kick and punch.

[vinceraptor]

lol its hard to make such a bad game sound good. The only thing I liked about the game was the robots and the detail.

[Greebi14]

This game was good.

[redbulborb]

this game describes ass rape mind rape eye rape and ear rape

rise of the assbots "gay droid"

[ojideagu]

There should be a count the bullshit game for this trailer. How many lies can you pack into one trailer?

[Wyldephang]

I love how the voiceovers hyping advanced AI and full 3D environments don't match up with what's actually being shown on the screen, which is clunky fighting animation (even by early 1990s standards). The game was awful and didn't live up to the hype.

[liverpool020]

how we take call of duty 4 and world at war for granted once upon a time this game was cutting edge gaming

[roughruffian]

OMG! I remember all the hype in CVG about this, When it came out I loaded the 12 floppy disks on my amiga and nearly cried... :(

[Maniamads]

Oh my god! I remember playing this as a kid :D waow!

[1Shasarazade1]

yeah 360 degree of free movment. ^^ Goingto the left going to the right xD

[grizby2]

it doesn't define anything...except ASS >:{

[JTVgamer]

I hope this is the SNES version in the video... I just bought the PC game. *gulp*

[Aprion]

that was the biggest load of bullshit ever. the guy that voiced this should be dragged into the street and shot. then stabbed. shot again, and finally be douched with acid. then set on fire and buried in a dumpster somewere. good god

[mookixox]

Holy fuck I thought only SONY over-hyped garbage titles like this promo did...lets all break our concoles and play HAZE!!! lmao

[hillyfarmer123]

Or even better... Fable II!!!!

[MouseFX]

hahah artificial intelligence ?? AHAHAHAHAHNHA

[avoozl07]

LMFAO! This is great!

[dave55811]

Now this video's hilarious.

[sudadedah]

I bet that if Reu was still alive he could make something 100x better than this.

[Barqu3ntine]

I thought this game had a pretty cool concept. Too bad it turned out to be so shitty. A remake is in order, methinks...

[Truthreexamine]

Lmao..I haven't heard so much bullshit since George W. Bush.

[BigGuyZee]

Oh gosh that was awful!

[MSGTMcClinton]

Talk about trying to sell on lies and hype.

[conradojavier]

"Kung Fool" watch PlayitBogart.

[Quadunit404]

This isn't the first game to use artificial intelligence! It's the first game NOT to!

And they said it has "full 360 freedom of movement." Yeah, I wouldn't say that moving left and right is free-roaming.

[shootme243]

lmao i bought this game for the pc when it came out and WOW was it terrible. if a martial arts expert only knows how to do 1 punch, 1 kick, and jump then i dont know what this world has come to hahaha. terrible game!

[scrumpled]

THE CRAP TRAILER DROID!

=P

[iiarwain]

I love it when someone posts a video on ONM, then it gets a flurry of comments from ONM users all of a sudden xD

[imthecity]

Lulz, yeah.

[nintendosaiyan]

What Gamehermit said xD (Btw nice name)

[pointlessworld]

AHH! My Bullshit-o-Meter is going to explode!

[GamingTeacher]

You know, watching this again, I can't help but laugh at the line '...proven in focus groups' near the end.

[starsoldier1]

It wasn't even released for the Sega CD in the end too.

[VendavalEste]

What a load of propaganda.

[GamingTeacher]

You know, it's a shame we don't have a 'so bad it becomes awesome' rating.

[neopokekun]

Done
