IAAPA 2009 - Terminator Salvation Arcade - Raw Thrills'/Play Mechanix

[DyeTalian]

This game is at my movie theatre in Georgia. It's actually pretty fun, though it does tend to eat through my quarters a lot....just like old times. :D

[theknack101]

this game is too hard to play by yourself.

Not that Id know that, with all my friends...cough cough....

I have lots of friends

yeah

[chitoryu12]

I played this game at two arcades. In both cases, I did not find anyone who didn't want to hurl the rifle through the screen.

[GoldmansNephew]

Does anyone of any places in the UK that have up-to-date arcade machines? I love those things, especialy the rail shooters.

[Ebb1993isgreat]

This game needs to be ported to the Wii or other consoles.

[ipodspartan]

i found this in so place in Wisconson Dells:)

[squezey1]

I just played through most of this game tonight at the arcade. So much action packed bullet spamming fun. It was funner than Razing Storm and Dead Storm Pirates. I can't compare it to Rambo because I never played that at the arcade yet but this game has to be ported to ps3 with Move support. No reason it shouldn't happen.

[MoonIMover]

Wait, wait, wait, there are people still making arcade games!?

[theatarian]

@MoonIMover They never stopped making them. There are thousands of places that still buy them in the US. Terminator itself has already sold several thousand units since it came out earlier this year. Next week I'm going to IAAPA 2010 where the arcade selection is going to be even larger than the '09 show!

[Tiamat583]

@theatarian

i hope people dont stop making arcade games. they are fun as hell.

[darkfang77]

Love This Game <3

So far, I can finish the first and start the second part with one credit.

Tips: DON'T RELOAD WHEN YOU'RE OUT OF AMMO, KEEP A CHECK ON YOUR MAGAZINE AND RELOAD WHEN YOU'RE DOWN TO 10 ROUNDS, FIRING WON'T BE AFFECTED.

ALSO, WHEN SHOOTING THE TERMINATORS, NEVER KILL ONE AT A TIME, SHOOT THE ONE THAT'S RED UNTIL IT'S NO LONGER RED, THEN KEEP SWITCHING ENEMIES! THAT WAY NONE OF THEM CAN KEEP A LOCK ON YOU!

Anyone else have any tips which can help me??

[squezey1]

@darkfang77 Yeah when I kept those tips in mind I stayed alive a lot longer. When I first played in the Summer on vacation I died in seconds and I'm just like "WTF?!?!? This game is a rip off!" then when I actually used your tips the game suddenly became a lot more fun to play. thanks! :)

[jto945]

Has any1 tried the chapter mode?

What is it?

[kooldude619rey]

I played this @ AMC 24 in Kanata it was soo fun!

[WalkTheBike]

Man, last time i played this game, i inserted coins, and then the game crashed on me.

But then later i came back and tried it, its freaking amazing. the reload is right under the magazine, theres the grenade launcher where u can just push the button to fire. but, it takes forever to kill those terminator guys, which i find freaking annyoing.

Way better than ur classic co op arcade games

BTW shotty owns

[scgilleland]

Played this yesterday with a few friends at a Dave & Buster'sin Arlington, TX, so awesome, definitely the most interesting shooter in the arcade

[odgixxer]

WOW shit this is awesome im gald to see arcades steppin it up!!!

[AsianAssassin117]

where can i buy this its an amazing game

[theatarian]

@AsianAssassin117 You can find it at pretty much any coin-op game distributor, although Betson is the primary source that ships the game out to distributors.

[AsianAssassin117]

@theatarian ok thanks man

[Legoman96]

played at local arcade and loved it, but didnt have enough money to play with my friend because we spent most of it on other games while waiting for it to open up

[redchaosdragon1]

lol i visit my local couple days ago and they dont have this game. but i want today after school and wala! there it is the terminator salvation arcade game. i guess AMC just got it a few days ago lol.

[theatarian]

That shouldn't be too hard as the game is already selling like crazy after being out for only a month. I'm getting one at my own arcade tomorrow (in Utah, if you're nearby).

[Timstuff]

This game looks kick ass. It reminds me a lot of the Terminator 2 game, except with modern graphics and gameplay. I wish I could find an arcade that had it!

[aliancer]

From seeing first minute, i already decided to wait for Time Crisis 5...

[theatarian]

@aliancer Have you heard of Razing Storm? It is a new game designed by the Time Crisis team although it leans more towards Crisis Zone 2. It's still an excellent game.

[Tiamat583]

@theatarian

I agree, razing storm is awesome.

[gyrobotZ]

Played it, really hard.

[Invidente7]

So they still make arcade games, huh?

AWESOME

[theatarian]

@Invidente7 Yep, there are about 25-30 new games that come out per year currently. I cover all of them on Arcadeheroes (.com)

[lizziemcveigh]

I've played this before. I used up $5 on it. Totally worth it. The one I played is in Los Angeles, CA. It's located in the Fashion District in the alley shopping are. MAPLE ALLEY PLAZA.

[DjDedan]

this looks good!

[quoth09]

Saw a cabinet for this in Rogers, AR of all places while I was visiting weekend before last. Did not get a chance to play it, but looked fun none the less.

Thanks for the video.

[Angsc09]

Also, It also have been release in Singapore at Causeway Point Shopping Centre on Timezone arcade in last Saturday.

[Angsc09]

Man, This game is insane every enemy at once. Seriously I prefer this game got total 4 player instead of two just like WorldCombat and Warp Troopers.

[McTricks11]

My Sister is one of the model designers for this game.

[RejectedManiac]

very awesome!

[kieranmay]

This game is at hollywood bowl in sheffield, its good fun and very challenging unlike other gun games and the frame rate is brilliant

[voltz15]

I'd honestly play this at home if they would just consider getting off their butts and port it.

oh and the new aliens game too.

[theatarian]

@voltz15 Yeah, that's probably not going to happen for a long time, if ever. They feel that the costs involved in bringing these games into the home market just don't work in their favor, compared to what they get out of it from the arcade scene.

[kieranmay]

@theatarian excatly adam, they don't really sell well on home consoles compared to other games in particular call of duty series, grand theft auto etc.. I love playing my game consoles at home but its nice to get out the house and play games you can't get at home

[figment1988]

it's like T2 and Ghost Squad were spliced together.

[theatarian]

@figment1988 Funny you mention that, the head designer of this also designed T2.

[figment1988]

@theatarian. George Petro or Jack Haeger?

[theatarian]

George. He is also the head of Play Mechanix. I know of two guys who worked on games like CarnEvil who worked on this as well.

[figment1988]

Nice to know that.

[voltz15]

Holy shit, this should've been the movie

[odavila78]

This game looks amazing! can't wait to pop some coins in it!

[phaota]

Looks pretty fun for a shooter. Nice to see that arcade games are still being made since the console wars have really hurt them.
