The RoboCop: Rogue City demo is AMAZING. (kbin.social)

A demo recently dropped on Steam for Robocop: Rogue City. I only just heard about this early in the week, and promptly forgot about it, expecting more trashy, low-quality licensed cruft.

But the demo dropped last night in advance of Steam Next Fest, so I gave it a try.

I am BLOWN AWAY. Like, dumbfounded. It's like Soldier of Fortune and Fear had a baby and Deus Ex was the nanny. And on top of that, it is painstakingly faithful to the Verhoeven film and it's sequel... from the music to the fact that they actually got Peter Weller to reprise his role as Murphy/Robocop. It is a love letter to Verhoeven's RoboCop.

This game just came out of nowhere and blew my mind. I can't believe more people aren't talking about it. The demo is on Steam right now... and it's a pretty big, meaty demo, too. I know there's a lot of really good stuff out there right now, but take some time out to try the demo.

45gig for a demo is insane

To be fair, it is a BIG demo. 2-3h worth depending how you play. And the graphics are GREAT.

Looking forward to it. Studio's last game was Terminator Resistance and that was like a mini Fallout 4 on a budget (in a good way)

Yeah it's surprisingly good. Not sure if the gameplay can carry the whole game but I enjoyed it. Nails the vibe of the movies.

Thanks for sharing, a good demo is rare these days.
