Ok so theres this game that has been stuck in my memory for years but i don't know the name of it.
 
Its to the point where i'm thinking it might not be real..heres what i remember from that game
 

  • Its an old PSX game.
  • It may or may not take place in 2004 (with a futuristic setting)
  • There may or may not be two characters, one female, one male (the male might have spiky brown hair)
  • They have guns
  • You shoot rob'ts (or atleast in the one level i played)
  • Its a third person shooter i think..
  • The boxart shows the characters
 
Thats all i can think of right now..this has been haunting my memory for years! WTF is this game!

Third person shooter you say? Was it 2D like Symphony of the Night or was it 3D like Resident Evil or something like that?

@luce: Fixed camera angles or over the shoulder type of view? 
 
What was the art style like? Western or Japanese style of futuristic setting? 
 
Any guns in the game that stood out to you? 
 
I'm pretty it's not it but Fear Effect is the only thing that comes to mind for now.

Well the fact that you describe it as "may or may not have...", it is going to take some thinking in order to find out the game.
Also, what the fuck are rob'ts?

I was quite young when i saw it so i can't say if it was Western or Japanese style..though the characters did seem to have a Japanese design.
 
Pretty sure there were fixed angles in most of the parts that i've played.

Possibly because he's saying it like Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama.

Sounds like every JRPG from that era. I'll say Vagrant Story.

You have no idea if it does, yourself. 
I just threw out a random name, because that's what it's going to take to narrow this down.

Go here and scan through the list of games, click on the ones that seem like it could be the game you're thinking of, and narrow it down from there.

I'm going by what i saw of the intro sequence. It showed a bunch of skyscrapers and on the top right it said something like "in the year 2004"
 
Though since it was a long time ago and my memory sucks, it could have easily been 03-05...pretty sure Vagrant story is like fictional medieval times or something
 
Unfortunately I don't have that much to go on either.. if i did i probably would've found it already. 
 
I seem to recall getting a keycard in the game and opening a door with it (that might narrow it down lol)

Metal Gear Solid, perhaps? It fits SOME of the qualifications.

This is a shot in the dark based on all that you posted at first but could it be Syphon Filter?

Did the guy walk around shirtless, with a really awful tattoo?  If it weren't for the robots, I'd say it sounds somewhat similar to Countdown Vampires.

Sounds insane considering how many ps1 games there are..i tried searching for it on Gamespots database but you have to click to see the boxart 
 
I made this topic to see if anyone had a clue about what this game might be

It may be highly inefficient, but provided that their database is complete, it's guaranteed to work.

Somebody said Fear Effect earlier. Are you ABSOLUTELY sure that this isn't correct? because that sounds alot like it.
 
Go to 2:00 on this video, see if it rings any bells.
