Terminator franchise seeks Redemption

Despite the critical thrashing given Rise of the Machines, Atari is planning a second game based on Terminator 3.

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." That old adage seems to be the watchword at Atari today when the publisher announced Terminator 3: Redemption, the second game based on the third Terminator film. The notice came in spite of the critical drubbing bestowed on the first T3 game, the Black Ops-developed Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Even though Rise of the Machines featured a trailer for Redemption, some experts speculated that the former game's hostile reception and lagging sales would cause the latter to be terminated itself.

Developed by Atari's in-house studio Paradigm Entertainment, Redemption will again let gamers step into the skin--and metal endoskeleton--of a terminator. As in the Terminator films and Rise of the Machines, that machine will feature the likeness and voice of then-actor and now-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Terminator 3: Redemption is due to be released in summer 2004 for the GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2.
