For one, there’s the instantly recognizable targeting mode we see where scan lines target enemies and automatically target them, as we saw in the movie. Obviously, this will be a first-person shooter, but there will be some other elements thrown in as well. Still, combing through the footage reveals the basic idea. The gameplay trailer, while being true in that it showed gameplay, was so heavily edited that it can be hard to get a feel for what RoboCop: Rogue City will actually play like. There’s no indication in any way, aside from the ED-209-looking bot, as to where in the timeline this game will take place or if it is a complete reboot. The trailer ends on RoboCop, mask off, approaching the screen and delivering his most famous line: “Dead or alive, you are coming with me.” What makes this delivery so impactful, aside from just the words, is the fact that it is Peter Weller reprising his role to voice Murphy/RoboCop. It’s unclear what he’s referring to, but it seems likely to be directed toward a similar situation to the movies where they attempt to make fully robotic police in the form of ED-209 that don’t quite work out. He is later being interviewed, where he says he would “trust this guy with my kids … I mean, if I had any,” and then claims whatever occurred was just a glitch. One of the few lines comes from a man, presumably the owner of a bank, asking where all the money is.
We also see a major encounter with a robot that looks very much like ED-209 from the films. He approaches the news station that has been overrun by punk gangsters, and we also cut to him raiding some kind of factory or plant, as well as general slums and alleys of Detroit. We hear the nostalgic sounds of his robotic legs revving as he walks with slow, deliberate steps. We cut to RoboCop arriving on a scene and are thrown into first-person.
This time, though, the broadcast is interrupted by a criminal on live TV. The trailer opens nearly identically to the last, with a broadcast detailing the increasing crime wave overtaking the city, which we see via crime scenes. About a year later, at NACOn Connect 2022, RoboCop: Rogue City showed up once more, this time with actual gameplay to examine.
