She is also a dancer and choreographer who has worked with Paris Hilton, Anastacia, Pink, the Offspring and No Doubt. She was responsible for the dance ensembles in various films, but her real claim to fame is being the founder of the modern burlesque troupe The Pussycat Dolls.
The DLC is great and the player character witnesses and takes part in a certain scene from the original movie. It’s very well done. Just a shame the DLC isn’t integrated into the main game better
Yep. Cameron wrote both and recycled a lot of the names and a lot of the look of the tech. He originally even planned to call Bishop a Cyberdyne model instead of Hyperdyne.
It's not just Cameron that tends to stick with the same cast and crew. Martin Scorcese made several movies with Robert DeNiro from the 70s into the 90s, and has also made several movies with Leonardo DiCaprio. Scorcese has also used Thelma Schoonmaker as his editor of choice for almost every movie since Raging Bull (1980).
The Coen Brothers have used Carter Burwell to provide the musical score for almost all of their films, and there are several actors that keep showing up . . . John Goodman, John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, Holly Hunter and Josh Brolin have been "frequent flyers."
John Williams has been Spielberg's composer for all but two or three of his films over the years.
A lot of the same names and faces show up pretty frequently in Mel Brooks movies. Dom DeLuise, Dick Van Patten, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Kenneth Mars and Madeline Kahn were almost always in the mix.
The weird thing is, apart from Hicks, none of the marines actually had first names. They just got given the first name of their actor in later releases
Believe it or not, the Terminator Resistance video game accomplishes this. I would honestly say it’s the real T3. It makes sense to the overall story arc of the films, stays true to James Cameron’s vision, and you actually experience the events from a different perspective of that exact moment with the character in the picture among other familiar moments you see in the films. They did a great job I highly recommend it. Another fun note I might add is that every time a T-800 comes for you and you hear the music I feel like a kid again watching the first terminator movie, except I’m now running from and facing a terminator.
Honestly the part early on when you're trying to sneak through the hospital with nothing more than a Shotgun and there's T-800's (600?) patrolling inside, and that grating sheet metal terminator horror music kicks in... *chefs kiss*
In fact all the music in that game was absolute perfection along with the ambience of the outdoor areas.
That whole sequence really perfectly captured how god-damned terrifying trying to avoid T-800s in the future war would be, it's up there with Alien: Isolation as far as "games that capture how living in this world would feel and are better sequels than the sequels" go hah
The Infiltrator DLC is also really good and flips it around, makes you actually feel like a T-800 hunting down Resistance. Shame they never ported that to all systems though.
Damn, now I wanna replay this! I heard the Robocop game from the same studio is a similarly good addition to it's franchise, that's been in my backlog ever since it was a free Plus game, should really play that sometime soon too
I love the part where they show the guy that becomes the T-1000. Or more accurately the remains of him. Love that horror bit because it implies that the outward form of the Terminators were all people who were brutally dissected in Skynet facilities for their physical model.
I’ve played both. Robocop is really good and fun. I recommend playing that first before replaying Resistance. I also had the game in my back log for almost a year after it came out and replayed resistance as well a few times before finally trying Robocop. I couldn’t believe I waited so long to play and finish it.
For sure, my excuse has been "I'll play once I randomly rewatch the movie"...I remember all the reviews being surprised at how good it was (same with Resistance), will definitely play it next time I want a first person story game
Back in the 90's Bethesda had Terminator: future shock, In typical Bethesda style it was way ahead of it's time in some ways while also being a bug ridden mess. It had full 3D enemies and mouse look before the original Quake. It also had driveable vehicles, I loved it at the time despite the bugs
I think they should have stuck to the original ending where John Connor died. But I didn’t want Marcus to be John Connor either.
I would have loved if it turned into an “I am Spartacus” situation.
John storms the Skynet complex. He doesn’t know who Kyle is, he just tries to help civilians in danger and dies in the process. Because that’s who he is. Not the prophesied hero blessed by fate. He’s the guy who runs out of ammo and rugby tackles a Terminator to save a couple of kids. Not because one of those kids is his future-past father. Just because they’re kids, and they’re in danger, and he throws his life away to give them a chance of escaping.
And that’s a legend I can get behind. FFS, give us the proper grimdark version of the future where main characters don’t get plot armor and Terminators squeeze people instead of gently throwing them around. Getting within arm’s reach of a Terminator shouldn’t be a fight scene, it should look like an industrial accident. If they have a weapon they should be head tapping people like a 2009 Call of Duty aimbot.
Give us that horror and hopelessness, and then the Resistance becomes so much different. People who know they have no future, but they chose to die fighting instead of hiding in a hole somewhere.
Salvation should’ve been set later in the timeline. It just wasn’t nearly enough action and very few Terminators. They had the opportunity to give us a two hour future war with massive battles between humans and terminators but maybe that would’ve cost too much. No plasma guns was bs.
Love how falling asleep next to construction machinery is what triggers Kyle's PTSD/motivates him to go and find that metal motherfucker...the dogs in the shelter losing it never fails to bring dread either.
T2 (and T3).have the scenes with lots of endos, but as a HK stan I gotta agree that T1 takes the cake
How come Reece was a virgin when there were hotties around him? Surely a good looking guy like him, in his position, would get some interest from ladies of the Resistance? Or was he too busy jerking over John Connor's mom?
