Terminator : Dawn of Fate Intro

[@repodan12]

Even in 2021 this is one of the best game intros.

[@Kitsunemetal]

I think this game is one of the best terminator games because it shows you how desperate the human resistance was to find a way to defeat skynet but skynet stayed one step ahead of them

[@SolidSnake4Ever2003]

This was such a cool game, extremely underrated and I wish it'd get a modern remake. I grew up very poor so my dad getting me this on a Saturday evening back in 6th grade for $19.99 on sale for the PS2 had me feeling like a kid in a candy store ecstatic, I was a huge Terminator fan since seeing T2 back in 1st grade staying up late on a school night watching it on the VCR lol

[@xvenomknightx9436]

This game needs a remaster along with some added features maybe more skins, as well as a playable t800 character, that would be sweet 😁

[@Diana_Aniara]

I remember when this game was new. Just the front cover of the game had me somewhat uncomfortable, even though i loved/love the first two movies. Like someone else said, the plot and game itself had such a dark doomsday (obviously) feeling to it, and the levels where designed to make you feel unsafe. Especially that level when Kyle is in the skynet lab, and where he (or perhaps it was Luna?), ends up having to kill a terminator...pure horror to me as it crawled around chasing you. The other level that really stands out to me was the last one where you're attacked by proper looking terminators everywhere.

[@jackofspades9742]

I remember the city levels with Luna and having to kill those big spider terminators and then the boss fight with the infiltrator where he crawls after you

[@AmericanBoy-si9zg]

This was the first Terminator game I've ever played & even till this day, it's still one of the best titles in the franchise.

[@JasonAlexVoorhees]

Why can't someone make THIS as an intro to a Terminator movie?

[@deafmetal7370]

It's a game and it's a really good one if you don't mind it being a bit clunky. I agree that the game should be made into a movie.

[@siddharthsehgal2349]

They tried with Salvation and it unfortunately sucked.

[@TheNocturnal1]

@@siddharthsehgal2349 didn't have this kind of plot or settings though.

[@terryprice1691]

TheNocturnal Yeah it did but it just fell apart by the 3rd act. I do appreciate it for being unique from the other films though including Dark Fate. It’s heart was in the right place but it was just executed poorly. If only they focused more on Conner and Reese instead of Marcus, it would’ve been better.

[@mrnonsense1031]

That's exactly what I was hoping for when I heard about Terminator Genesis when it was first coming out.

[@WWBCD88]

This game is already better than T:genesys will ever be.The intro alone just pulls you in and doesn't let go.

[@IRONLORDMINK]

I would honestly love to see this game Remade in a modern Game Engine like Unreal 4. With modern game mechanics It would be amazing

[@CyberLance26]

I love this game. Its lots of fun and got the great Terminator atmosphere that makes you feel like your in the war of the future against Skynet. Best Terminator game ever and very underrated.

[@Buradori0]

Most under-rated game of all time.

[@manuelmeraz8144]

This intro unlocked memories in my head I forgot I had

[@greyfox8310]

This and terminator resistance are the BEST terminator games

[@logout1337]

This game would have been perfect if it had had a better camera.

[@barnardsloop01]

I know. This one time I was trying to see but there was an object in front of me and due to my camera angle, I couldn't see.

[@xdejablu3x]

I still enjoy this game from time to time but I agree. The camera angles were horrible.

[@Conflict1922]

If it was completely free 3rd person it would have been amazing. They should remake it and fix the issues

[@TheBMTHfreak]

I love the way they had captured the Terminator. If you watch the films and then the way the Terminator reacts and moves in this cutscene, it's almost identical. Utterly amazing. I wonder why the other terminator games couldnt be this good?

[@cht469]

This intro already shits all over T3, T4 & T5 !!!!

[@robkearsy2995]

Everything shits on Terminator Genisys.

[@LordofMovies91]

...and now Dark Fate. Oof. I liked Salvation though, good to finally see the Future War, even if it was only the early years and before the T-800s really started to emerge.

[@Jaegar19Ultima-u9d]

T3 was the lesser of the three evils.

[@brandonbryant8027]

I love this game! Now if they made this for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 & Xbox One this game would be bad ass with today's graphics.

[@barnardsloop01]

Also make it a FPS so that we don't have to tolerate those annoying camera angles.

[@Frantyx]

+Volorus To'Rak (thetricker01) kinda like mirrors edge, so we can still do melee combat just like in this game

[@cheetoes3961]

idk if the people who made this game still make games they should remaster this because its a really good game and i didnt get to finish it yet, and they could ake the game 1080 without the stupid camera angle and remake the endos because they kinda look stupid but other than that its a good game and reminds me of older resident evil games

[@finaltouchstudio_]

One of my favorite games and I didn't even finish it. Why couldn't Terminator Genisys be like this??!!

[@terryprice1691]

For real. If they made this into a movie it would've been a hit!

[@finaltouchstudio_]

Terry Price this should've been Terminator 3. They could've brought back Michael Edwards, the actor who briefly played old John in T2. That guy looked so badass

[@shirosaki97]

Is it bad that I remember this intro cutscene more fondly and more memorably than anything past T3. No...silly question, it isn't bad.

[@JasonAlexVoorhees]

oh man chapter 8 "infiltrator" where you fight the Terminator in the hood with the huge gun? that was my favourite level, and each time you get his health down to 0 he just got all of it back and went to a different "form" the second form was cool, where he's lost the hood and gun because when you got him down to half health he face was blown away showing more endoskelaton.....sorry if I rambled...good memories

[@TheDarkMaster1989]

The intro to this game really did capture the essence of the first two movies.

[@Daniel100Benner]

Skynet didn't seem to consider one thing, if it isn't John Connor leading the human resistance, it would just be someone else.

[@ChaseMcIntyreFilms]

i remember i use to play this game. i loved it at the time. but looking back, i realize how much i hated when the camera would constantly switch angles, it gave it a cinematic feel, but it was impossible to go anywhere without getting lost.

[@Myuutsuu85]

God, i really love the switch of music and the feelable tense starting at 4:05

[@BrokenWolf01]

I remember this game! I played it over and over, it was the best Terminator game ever. Always loved using Kyle and Luna. Perry, with his R-6 PAK rocket pistols, wasn't so tough. XD

[@INDLIS]

I agree. Don't forget Alex Stone and his older brother Gabriel.

[@xxobravoxx]

this game brings back memories from childhood.

[@bloodvein3]

man i loved playing this game.... so much fun when you think about it. i was only 8 years old when it came out, but i loved it.

[@TheXtro101]

I still remember the tv commericals for this game back in 2002. Shows live real people walking on a blvd,one person gets hit by a car and just gets up like nothing at all,then a voice says..."feels no pity,no pain and will not stop...coming soon for Playstaion 2".

[@benjaminkitchen6257]

God I miss this game

[@shahidinia]

I wish the song to this intro was available as an instrumental.

[@stinson101]

@snake2006 Skynet was not offline in 2029 - it's defence grid was, meaning it no longer had any way to defend itself.

[@ChrisMathers3501]

Anybody watch the Sarah Connor Chronicles last week and notice Captain Perry make an appearance? It takes place some time after the battle at the end of this game - during which he seems to have lost a bit of weight and gotten a few shades darker in skin tone. I hope we end up seeing Luna and the Stone brothers in this show.

[@ItalianJew]

I just re-watched Sarah Connor, crazy how time fly's by

[@Darkdealer651]

Aside from the error in the year and the '30 years' quote, I feel that this game still happened in the continuity for Terminator 1-4 and Battle Across Time (if you ignore Genisys and Dark Fate)

[@CrookedStepsHardHeaded]

This game was released before T3 in 2002, before all the bullshit storyline that judgment day started in 2003, so the 30 years quote was right, since in T2 it begun in 1997, and this game happened in 2027. Way before T3 and Salvation, respecting the first two movies.

[@GunzBlazin26]

I loved this game

[@Mobius4077]

this game was sooooo good. the music was scary as hell in some levels.

[@TheDutchGhost]

@TheRome111 Indeed, they had lasers, particle and plasma weapons in the first movies, and the endoskeletons were nearly invulnerable, especially back in 1984 were you couldn't even dent them with the weaponry at the time. With the last movies Skynet's tech becomes weaker and weaker. I wonder if its because all of its hardware seems to be basically modified versions of what it started out with in T3.

[@axarullah]

I love this intro!!!! Gives me some good old memories.

[@JonathanFerGold]

"The 12 gauge auto loader." "That's Italian. You can go pump or auto." "The .45 long slide with laser sighting." "These are brand new. We just got them in. That's a good gun. You just touch the trigger, the beam comes on and you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go. You can't miss..... Anything else?" "Phased.. Plasma rifle in the 40 watt range." "Hey just what you see, pal!" "The Uzi 9 millimeter."

[@CrusaderOfJersey]

This was one of the best Terminator Games i ever played when I was a kid wish they would bring this game back

[@Baseshocks]

dam right they knew. PS2 has the best line up of games out of all platforms. Its a time where the gaming industry took off and were filled by people who had a passion for video games, these days investors, Hollywood screenwriters, Hollywood animators are all over the industry... sigh....

[@SayVarRee]

Actually Paradigm were denied the Arnold Swarzerniggr likeness licence which is why he is not in the game. There is an interview somewhere with him saying why he didn't do video games because they could never get his likeness right. That changed when he did T3: Rise of the Machines.

[@kierengallagher2851]

The terminator theme has so many different takes all are great including this.

[@smithwesson1896]

Now if they got Michael Biehn to voice Reese and had Arnold's face for the Terminator, plus some themes from the movie then it would have been better

[@MST720]

Kyle Reese is the most important character and he is mentioned once in the second movie and not at all in the third one

[@RedheadMetalC]

i love that scene when terminator appears on slowmotion, animations are amazing...you looking for best of terminator games? well you just found one.

[@la323323]

Camera view on this game sucks though you gotta use the force to shoot the machines lol

[@Gabriella292u]

The problem Skynet has that it for all intents wiped out the abillity to refine new weapon grade materials duing its initial assault + the EMP from the assault wiped out most of the manufacturing abillity it would otherwise have

[@RedheadMetalC]

one of the best terminator games.

[@Mobius4077]

that would be bad ass. since technically this is the prequel and has the future combat everyone wants to see, it would kick ass as a movie.

[@shadowupper]

This intro has that feeling and ambience of Terminator 1 and 2 that all fans of Terminator wants to see. Loved the storyline too. The only think that bothered me was that the Terminator wasn't the "Arnold model" and maybe the soldiers outfits. But everything else was epic. And talking about the movies,T3 was crap, TS was a very good movie but I think Cameron should take Terminator again and make a new movie a REAL sequel ignoring T3 an TS as well.

[@lloyd9710]

Prequal to terminator resistance

[@TheSpoofMan3]

Still like this game, perhaps the best of Terminator games made to date. It has that post apocalyptic feel to it that is established in first two movies.

[@ChaseMcIntyreFilms]

in terms of story, this was probably the best terminator game they ever made. the characters and voice acting combined with a nice non canon future war plot really did a nice job of tying of the films as a sort of prequel to it all.

[@kennyhotz17]

That was epic.

[@knowpassword]

Last terminator movie should be an epic battle movie.. The final battle between man and machines and the fall of skynet

[@nofate2029]

It's just the main Terminator theme played on the violin. If you search youtube for "terminator theme" you'll come across it in multiple formats(remixes and such).

[@hwahid8]

I wish terminator salvation was based on this storyline.

[@R4hR4h]

Game - 2027 Movie - 2029 Was that before or after Reese went through the timeline?

[@knowpassword]

Band of brothers meets terminator.. Now that would make for an awesome fucking series!

[@Glamosapien]

an absolutly amasing intro to one of the most amasing, and most underated games ever made

[@thaddeuswinslowcooper8962]

Yo this was my second video game ever, c.2002. Begged for it when I was 5. Over 15 yrs later and I'm still fascinated by it!!

[@pissedGamer1]

best storyline of any terminator game by far... salvation had a cool intro as well but this was the grim future ran by cold steel perfection i always wanted to see in a game or all out movie.. been waiting 10 plus years.. i'll wait till im so pissed i finally decide to go to school for it dammit

[@WWBCD88]

I hope they remake this in HD,this is one of the many games that deserve it.

[@5keeper7ful]

"Who else thinks that this game's story should be the next Terminator movie? (Journeying to Skynet and getting Reese to the time machine) It could and should be done, there's a lot of potential.

[@TomasRaySmith]

It was done. And they fucked. It. Up

[@fuck1ification]

I love this game.. and that robot that came in the lab looks so scary.. the first time i played this game and saw him i cried cause i was 9 i am now 13 :)

[@goo_2gle]

i just bought off ebay for $5 i had the game when it came out but lost it so now i get to play it on my 360

[@INDLIS]

"if they only knew what I knew"

[@asst5]

man this game is hard it took me weeks just 2 beat the loader on the fifth level.still a great game.i like the music in the levels.this game rocks!!!!

[@RevanRA]

@infernai Same. I always like to think that T3, T4, and T: SCC were all in timelines where blowing up Cyberdyne didn't matter, but apparently a lot of other people don't want to accept that. That's fine, though. Heh. According to James Cameron, T2 was the end of his story, but that doesn't mean other people should stop the story he told. Maybe they wanted more insight, so they told their own.

[@Mobius4077]

plus, this is the best terminator game out there.

[@hellnight88]

This game is the ONLY! best Terminator game ive played

[@Gimmeahellyeah1]

This & Redemption are the best Terminator games.

I could remember playing this when i was 5-6 GRADE. Good memories. :')

I completely forgot about this game

[@wolfcrouch]

ive got this game on ps2 its great

[@edwmakina]

awesome intro !!!!

[@JasonAlexVoorhees]

Doing a Terminator game primarily set in the future which is loosely based on the Movies. using projectile Weapons and early stage Plasma weaponry would be awesome, Battling older machines, like the T400 through to 600 and even a few T-800s in later levels. Maybe even have a chance to play as a Terminator that has been reprogrammed, that'd be epic, maybe show different skin sheaths other than the 101 arnold skin, maybe also loosely put in some Sarah Connor chronicles in there, play as Cameron

[@LSTRist]

i miss this game.

[@stranglestrong]

I think the reason for the date changes is the fact that at the end of T2 they delayed judgement day, which was confirmed in T3.

[@jojohernandez14]

this was one of my favorite games on the original xbox!!

[@Buli0n]

[@daviddonohue3623]

what is sky net

[@barnardsloop01]

A really old FPS of Terminator's future war where you work as Tech Com to stop Skynet from ending us all for good with another ballistic missile.

[@arsouilleur5779]

T3 Redemption was good as well imo

[@birddogg62]

True, but it makes since because i'm sure after the t-1000 failed skynet was pissed. So the over powered TX would be the next thing to send.

[@Anomalous602]

At 2:27 pretty much tells us how Kyle Reese got away in terminator 1.

[@russian4451]

I remember that game, was awesome.

[@JonathanFerGold]

Somebody should make a 3-D game that's based on the first movie.... No T2/T3 shit. I would so buy that game in a heartbeat.... Playing as Kyle Reese in a 3-D 1984 L.A. environment. Hell, they should turn it into a sandbox action game like Grand Theft Auto. And all the while, have Michael Biehn voice Reese. That would kick so much fucking ass! Hell, why not re-release the Sega CD version of The Terminator while they are at it? I only saw the game on KZbin, but man it looks awesome!

[@ShingenNolaan]

This is the best Terminator game ever.

[@jacktheripper2746]

This intro was better than all of Terminator Genisys combined lmaooo

[@TOK150]

You the know th Arnie-800 in T4 wasn´t the one who was ment to go back in time

[@Ultrazord100]

That was so fucking awesome brillant i loved that game it rocked. Thanks for the memories bud

[@GamingForTheGamers]

@hwahid8 I think T3 and T4 should exist, just not as actual sequels. They're good movies that stand on their own, but T3's message, that the war is inevitable, contradicts T2's message. And tbh, you know T2 is right since it has the same message as Doc Brown.

[@theGhost_141]

@legendarywar1 this game does serve as a official prequel to the films but the films are the alternate timeline in the Terminator universe originally John Connor was never warned about Judgement Day he was never trained for the war and was never protected by The Terminator he began the Resistance on his own and when he learns that Skynet plans to go back in time to kill Sarah Connor to change the future, thats when the films come in as John explains in the games intro

[@GoldenEyeRa]

McG is pretty much a figure-head director - he's easily controlled by producers, writers and actors. Besides, this is pretty much his dream come true, his blog on the homepage reveals this. Sure, he could fuck it up. But with Nolan, Haggis and Bale on board I'm leaning towards gold. Either way it'll be a heck of a lot better than fucking T3, that's for sure.

[@oktoberK]

@infernai They are. If you look at it John and Sarah made a new timeline after T2.

[@JonathanFerGold]

"Phased.. Plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.."

[@WWBCD88]

The only gripe I had with this game was the camera angles.Other than that,it was about the best Terminator game I've ever played.I still say they should do another one like this,but make it a sandbox style.
