#ROGUE TROOPER PS2 UPGRADE#
Rogue Trooper can't rearm himself, or indeed upgrade his weaponry in the field, and this is where the nominatively-deterministic Bagman comes into play. It's a neat enough idea because they're fully voiced with a reasonable quantity of character, but it's still quite the simple gimmick. When GIs die, their biochips can be implanted into weaponry and armour, and early on in the game, Rogue's comrades are attached to his rifle, helmet and bag, handling weapons and upgrades as well as hacking and holographic distractions. The Southers develop Genetic Infantrymen, able to withstand most toxins and the planet's corrosive atmosphere, and as Rogue Trooper, it's your job to take on the evil (and rather stereotypically Russian) Norts as you battle to avenge your fallen foes after a betrayal sees them massacred early in the game. On Nu-Earth, near eternal war rages between the Norts and Southers, leaving the planet a toxic and barren wasteland. You don't have to be up to speed with the series premise, because it's not exactly deep. If you're at all familiar with the original, you'll be pleased to note that Rogue Trooper still looks pleasingly authentic, which is to say that he looks rather like a steroid-addled Smurf with a serious gun fetish.
#ROGUE TROOPER PS2 PS4#
I played the PS4 version, for what it's worth, because it was then easier to dip back into the original and compare relatively similar controllers. Still, that's what Rebellion (owners of all the 2000AD intellectual property) have opted to do, giving the classic third person run and gun game a fresh coat of paint and just a few tiny tweaks to accommodate the control schemes of the PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. It's just that it was acceptable, but not exactly remarkable, and certainly not a game that a large proportion of folks were clamouring to see remade to speak of. That's not a particular slam on the original game, which was fine in its time. I wouldn't have picked Rogue Trooper, a PS2-era game based on the lesser-known 2000AD warrior as being prime remake fodder. Which, rather circuitously, brings me around to Rogue Trooper Redux.
