In Rambo 2 he ends up fighting the Soviets as well. That way he got to win the Vietnam War and the Cold War single-handed.

Reagan gave him a medal for that. For real. Like, in real life Stallone got a medal for Rambo and Rocky.

This makes me want a Running Man game! I'll take a new Die Hard game too.

Better yet, if it was an action movie in the 80's just make it into a game.

Yea, looks bad. Making a game out of First Blood seem pretty awful. I know he killed a fair amount of people, but for a game seems like youd have to up it to 3x the size of the town. Also would think there might be a backlash on gunning down a town of cops. Some asshole somewhere is going to make a issue of it.

I'm not surprised. It's well reported that Reagan's Alzheimer caused him to confuse movies with real life several times throughout his presidency, including at one point infamously believing he fought in WWII battles that he wasn't anywhere near.

I got into an argument with a bunch of people I know on Facebook about this. I said it looked like steaming dog turds. I got yelled at by everyone else. Facebook.

No... facebook.

I give up. I wish I had sleeping pills. This world doesn't deserve intelligence....

So correct me if I'm wrong but Reef Entertainment bought the video game development and publishing rights for Rambo back in August 2011. It was apparently supposed to come out when Expendables 2 was opening in theaters on August 17th 2012 but got delayed until just now. Now it will actually be published on a retail disc in 2014... WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN DOING ALL THESE YEARS!?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they flew a helicopter into a tank just now.

That is totally canon. Happened just like that in Rambo III iirc.

I think the special effects in the original movie look better than the graphics in this game. Still, let's get some Occulus Rift support going for this mo-fo. I want to blow up a tank with a helicopter.

You guys can laugh all you like, but I think it's GREAT that they're STILL supporting the PS2 after all these years...what?

Aren't you on the wrong website? I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be reading some comic books or something.

I'm what they call a renaissance man.

If this leads to a 'Cobra' FPS, I might die from pure bliss. Maybe they could DLC it into Rambo?!!!

God, does nobody even remember what First Blood was even about? It was a pretty serious social commentary about the alienation and discrimination Vietnam War vets faced after coming home. There is only a single kill in the whole film and the plot concerns the context and reactions to that kill.

And now it's "here's Rambo making cops heads explode with a M-60". I don't think even Stallone "gets" what First Blood actually was about anymore.

I said the same thing about First Blood earlier. Stallone has nothing to do with this game, the devs have the rights and used voice samples for the characters. Based on the last movie I think Stallone gets Rambo just fine. It's the publishers that don't.

Funniest part about that in the movie is that Rambo is not only driving, but also loading and firing the main gun!

So this is like a video game of a movie that was like a video game.

What a terrible trailer but I what a funny QL it would make with Jeff and Vinny hopefully doing their best Stallone impressions.

Is this like a light gun game?

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO! You can barely see Rambo's arms when he's holding a gun. The way the pivots looks really weird too.

I don't care how bad it is, I am glad this game exists.

Mildly disappointed it doesn't include the more recent sequel, but whatever.

I am glad this game exists purely because it will make for an entertaining quicklook. Vinny had better be in it.

Also the head for Rambo's character model looks ridiculously large in the trailer, like he has acromegaly or something.

Well with the exception of the first blood part for obvious reasons, this might have been good say if someone like Crytek developed it.
