Why haven't they rebooted this?

Goddamn, man. Future Cop LAPD. What else do you need? You're a cop, it's the future, maybe it's even in Los Angeles. NO! That's the reboot part. Future Cop NYPD. Oh shit.

Because nobody's heard of it?

In what part of this game would the Russians invade, forcing you to switch roles as a tough-tooth up and coming Police Officer to the bad attitude in your face SWAT commando who's seen action in wars all his life?
 
Because in this day an age, that's what would happen.

@Video_Game_King: I rented this game like five times as a kid, mainly because it was called Future Cop LAPD. I remember having a lot of fun with the co-op campaign. @Brodehouse just in case you're curious if your nostalgia holds up (and haven't saved your copy), it appeared out of nowhere on the Playstation Store sometime in the last month or so. At $6, part of me is strangely tempted to download it every time I scroll past it.

Blasphemy!

Future Cop LAPD was amazing.

It's probably not getting rebooted because you can't improve upon perfection, so why disappoint people?

Goddam serious!? I need to get a copy for myself. Loved this game and actually liked the multiplayer mode as well. It holds up well to my nostalgia hehe.

So now they're gonna reboot it right?

@video_game_king: If you haven't played Future Cop L.A.P.D what are you doing with your life?

@demoskinos:

I have played it. I don't think I've beaten it, though, because I would have blogged about it otherwise.

I'd pitch in for that kickstarter.

The only future cops I care about are the god damned G-Police

That's the twist at the end of Titanfall. It was really the sequel to this.

Dynamite Cop bitches

@artemesia: Oh god yes. That game is fantastic as well.

I have a confession to make, I only ever played the PC demo, but I played the shit out of that first level and the 1 multilayer map vs. AI.

If we can't get a reboot, at least someone linked a GoG vote during the stream to get the PC version up on there: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/future_cop_lapd

The multiplayer mode was awesome, was one of the first strategy games/tower defense lite I had played.

Shit while we are talking of remakes of awesome games, you know what needs a modern remake (and it wouldn't even be hard)?

Metal Fatigue

That's right. That right there is Future cop LAPD level of innovative genius that the world forgot.

If feels good to not think that I was the only one who ever played that game anymore

" Welcome to Los Angeles rookie, the city of angels"

I read this is Ryan's voice.

@brodehouse: That SOUNDTRACK!

I love how it took 13 months but finally.
