Rambo: The Video Game

First Rambo: The Video Game Screens and Deets Revealed
Written Friday, August 03, 2012 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Publisher Reef Entertainment and developer Teyon have today revealed the first screenshots and details for Rambo: The Video Game, which is currently in production for consoles. The game will be a "fixed-perspective, first-person shooter", and will see you strapping on the boots of John Rambo himself on a violent mission that'll take you through the best bits from the first three movies.

Featuring brutal shootouts, demolition, stealth kills and knife-play, Rambo: The Video Game promises to provide "authentic Rambo gameplay" based upon highlights from Rambo: First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo III, some of which have been edited together into the teaser video below.

Gameplay elements will also include destructible terrain, cover-based shooting and rag-doll physics in an effort to "deliver the high-quality Rambo-action fans around the world expect." Action-packed set-pieces are also a given, and the game will also utilise "a contemporary game engine", according to Reef's Commercial Director Craig Lewis.

"By matching classic fixed-perspective play to a contemporary game engine we believe we can deliver a game that matches the pace and action set-piece diversity of the films," he said. Check out the first three screenshots from Rambo: The Video Game below, and we'll be looking to bring you coverage on the game from Gamescom soon.

looks good but usually when they make a game based on a movie it always turns out to be bad there are some games that are good.

@2 idk...almost sounds like a cover-up for the term "Rail Shooter."

...in which case, immediate pass.

@6 You mean that's not just really good looking CG? Oh well.

Also, rail shooters are fun. Not $60 fun but fun nonetheless.

Good rail shooters > shitty modern FPS. For instance there is already a Sega Rambo arcade game from 2008 that is way more fun than any third-rate COD clones.

@12 I know exactly what you mean, but I think it at least has a better chance of being decent opposed to them just making a regular FPS. See: Double Helix presents: god-awful awful movie tie-in for god-awful movie (lol Battleship). Then again I just noticed this company made that crappy Heavy Fire: Afghanistan game for Kinect so yeah... this game has no chance whatsoever. If only Sega was smart enough to port their games... there is already a good Rambo rail shooter that never came to consoles :/

This will more than likely get destroyed. If Sly's not voicing Rambo, the game shouldn't be made.

As much as i enjoyed the Rambo movies and the games they released in the old days, i,m not so sure about this one, i rather had seen a open worldy kinda thing and def a 3th person view instead if the overused FPS.
The screens look great tho, but there to many FPS games out there and i,m not sure there is still a market for an FPS Rambo game sure when they add "Onrail shooting" I want freedom in a game so i can decide where i want to go and any moment, and not forced to go left and then right enter this building clear all baddies and then move on, its like someone mentioned here before there already semi-rambo kinda games out there doing the same. Just make this open world and 3th person and i,m in!

@8:
When was the last time you played a GOOD rail-shooter?

Sadly this will probably turn out as a mediocre(hopefully)U3-engine driven game that will soon be forgotten or/and put in the bargain bin.

That's pretty sad though, since the movies could be turned into awesome games, if given a decent budget & time to develop, that is...

For some reason when I read this article all I could think of was the cancelled Dirty Harry game. Movie to game tie ins are nearly always awful and this game should suffer the same fate as the Dirty Harry game.

Does fixed perspective not mean the screen is completely static like in the original Resident Evil titles rather than an on-rails game? Pretty sure this will be awful.

You guys do know that Stallone is a DRAFT DODGER DON'T YOU? It's well documented. Anyhow there hasn't been a decent Rambo game since the Sega Master System and Sega Genesis.

The screenshots look good though.

lol the movies set in the 1980's would never be able to be made in todays PC society.

i hardly doubt the cop killing antics from the first film and the obvious sterotypical racist plots of the other 2, not to mention the fact that Afghanistan is considered the good guys who Rambo goes to save in III will be published in 2012 society....

or they're gonna try to avoid those SMALL points like all the WWII games that try to act like Nazis never existed and instead its just some fake flag with a Red symbol....which was 70 years ago, but Afganis whom were still at war with and nobody likes is going to be an ally? lol no

oh and Richard Crenna died back in 2003 so the Troutman character which plays a major role in each film, will suck

and if they dont have Brian Dennehy as the main protagonist for the first film section of the game, then thats another fail.

and the company publishing the game clearly has a long line of quality games...

lol its gonna suck ass, ill expect something similar to that Rouge game Bethesda released last year based on some ex Navy Seals guy who was a 1 man bad-ass talking profanity and killing everyone

There is one thing about this game that looks good the thought of being and playing Rambo Himself but my question is will it be overdramatic or will it be nice and suttle? I have know Rambo for the many Movies and they were awesome yes and they still are but most Movie Games suck but some i have been so supprised with in the past.

You morons who don't care that Stallone dodged the draft still see him as this sound action hero of the 80's? You children are absolutely pathetic. There is so much hipocrisy in this world it's unimaginable.

And yes the fact that that fucking coward Stallone says something about his character.

@#45 + #46 youre a moron. shut up. not everyone wants to serve the military especially to fight a war they shouldnt be in.

just because you "volunteered" doesnt mean your better. i mean you could put your face all over the internet and still no one would even know who you are. all you have to do is say Stallones last name and hundred even thousand of conversations could be brought up.

oh and it sounds to me like ditchin the draft was the best thing he did. he became a super famous celebrity, just like muhammed ali, donald trump, bush, clinton, kareem abdul Jabar, Brian Dennehey and jimmie hendrix just to name a few. sounds like dodging the draft pays off. and for those who didnt. where are they? dead mostly.

and trust me i am not knocking the military. all my cousins are in it (different branches) my mom was in the army for 10 years. my aunt was air force for 15. my grandfather navy for 8. my uncle served in vietnam almost 15 years! i didnt go military but was in ROTC for almost 4 years. my cousin works as SS in pentagon. my uncle is a homocide detective for philadlephia for over 30 years. so trust me i respect the uniform. doesnt mean i have to repsect the person who wears it.

are you mad cause he was never in the military and portrays or "acts" like he was (considering hes an ACTOR), lets see....

Bill Pullman was never president, even tho he portrays one in Independence Day
Sigourney Weaver was never really impregnated by an Alien.
Seth McFarlane is not a real teddy bear.
Johnny Depp has real finger, not scissors.


and the list can go on. you knwo what tho. i bet youve seen the rambos. dont deny it. just like you cant deny youre an ass.

This should be really interesting how this game develops. I wonder about the dev's resources into this new franchise (don't know much about either dev or publisher). This is a great opportunity to have a different style FPS compared to the COD's and others like them. Rambo was both stealth and guns blazing too. Also the different game modes other than campaign. best of luck teyon, if its good, i'll buy it.

I basically had to run up here when I saw her coming to the door, kinda' like Anne Frank style. But you... you mother fucker.

It's not my fault you're jewish growing up in the 1940s on the wrong side of the world. Either way Stallone is a sorry excuse for an actor, director, and a human being.
