I continue to admire the work carried out by this company. Here is their latest game, reminiscent of the golden age of Terminator:

As a reminder, they also produced the famous Xenocrisis which is a real gem and Final Vendetta (of which I have no real opinion, not having played it) :

Ah I've heard Xenocrisis and Final Vendetta before.
As for Terminator 2D trailer, something or rather multiple things shown there give me concerns. Multiple characters are shown as playables make me wonder if player is supposed to play as all of them. Playing as Terminator to get some clothes might work cause it's canon but as T-1000 to kill Sarah?
Many scenes from the movie is also there which makes me wonder what modes available in the finished game.
But concerns aside, I also see gameplays from future (I believe) with player fighting against robots. And levels featuring Sarah Connor fighting against enemies (forgot the name of the company).

Final Vendetta was the very first game I asked for a refund at Steam. I didn't liked it at all.
It was one of those cases that seing the game images was amazing, the playing it was a very different experience.

At first glance, Final Vendetta seems to have placed itself in the footsteps of Street of Rage, which is not necessarily a bad thing. However, if I base myself on the longplays, this amounts to creating a fairly generic and uninspired adventure, which is a little disappointing for a company that released a gem like Xeno Crisis (itself being in the tradition of a Smash TV arcade).

Yes, indeed. It would be difficult to play as the T-1000 as the player would have difficulty finding his way in his quest to eliminate all rebellion and humanity.
I admit that this trailer makes me nostalgic and curious about the quality of the gameplay that can be offered here.

Final Vendetta only got better after the patch updates. For some reason, it took consoles two weeks to get the patch update, while the Steam version got it within less than a week. I admit, after beating the game at launch, I didn't touch it again until the updates/patch fixes came out on consoles. There was a glitch where the fourth boss could grab you into stun/death loop and there was no way out of it, unless you have a second player with you.

FV clearly modeled itself after Streets of Rage 3 and The TakeOver. While a much better game after those patches and the casual difficulty update, is still weaker than those. I do admit the soundtrack goes hard. I do have the game on PS4/PS5 and Steam too, but those were on a sale, and a free upgrade on PS5. Once I managed my 1CC/S-Rank run for Claire and then Duke, and got 300+ kills in survival mode, I didn't find much reason to go back and play. Other than boredom and minor amusement. I still find FV better than Vengeance Hunters.
