Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Oh yes, yes, yes, yes. That game was fantastic. An HD version on the XBLA or Steam or something would be brilliant!

[–]ptikobj1 2 points3 points ago

"Precinct assault" playing against a friend was probably the most fun you could have with a PS1. Such an original and well executed idea.

[–]OliCartlidge 2 points3 points ago

I only played it on my brother's demo disc, I consistently begged him to buy it, but he never did (I was around 4 years old). You've just reignited some great memories. Thank you!

[–]Bazzatron 0 points1 point ago

Oh damn this was a good game, loved being able to turn into some crazy hover-car by pressing L1+R1.

reminds me of the good old days when I Was better than my little brother at these things XD

[–]ManWithGoldenGun 1 point2 points ago

A mech that transformed into a cop car if I'm not mistaken? Top down, co-op play?

[–]Soultrypp 0 points1 point ago

I much enjoyed this game. I don't remember much about it other than playing multiplayer and having to turn the others base your color or something of that sort.

[–]hessnake 0 points1 point ago

I remember playing this back when i played games without knowing how to read. I would just memorize what options on the menus to hit.

[–]Boscodbear 0 points1 point ago

This game was a lot of fun. When I was thinking about the competitive multiplayer, it reminded me of a moba game sorta

[–]CSPearce07 0 points1 point ago

I loved it, but it was so hard to get so I only ever had it on a demo disk. Was so happy when I found out you can buy it for the PS3 and PSP

[–]marioslayer 0 points1 point ago

you made me install it again, still have the original CD :DDD

[–]niknarcotic 0 points1 point ago

I still remember my friend shouting "NO I NEED THAT SHIELD YOU FUCK!". Thanks for all the nostalgia :D

[–]Shadowman235 0 points1 point ago

The nostalgia hit me like Helen Keller driving a bus, well done.

[–]sinfocker 0 points1 point ago

I LIVE AGAIN!

[–]Timmoman 0 points1 point ago

This game had great split screen multiplayer!

[–]Chrisodon 0 points1 point ago

Yep, Enjoyed the hell out of this game. Still got an original boxed version somewhere in my house. Might dig it out sometime for a little nostalgia gaming.

[–]dowdshmoud 0 points1 point ago

i played this so much when i was younger (about 9 or 10 years old) that i cant watch a tv screen for longer than 3 hours cos they start to hurt. it was still an unbelievable game though.

[–]SquishMitt3n 1 point2 points ago

Oh fuck YES I played it!! Nostalgia here I come!

[–]Smashing_riot 1 point2 points ago

One of the best PS1 games out there!

[–]Interference22 2 points3 points ago

EA is a publisher. Primarily they publish games; they generally pay other people to make them. And they still publish original titles. Just this year we had Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, The Secret World, and a handful of others.

And entertaining as it was, Future Cop wasn't initially conceived as an original title, either: It was intended as a sequel to the Strike games (Desert Strike, Jungle Strike, etc) under the title Future Strike.

[–]konrad9 -5 points-4 points ago

No, no one else played it, ever. You were the only one.

I loved this game, and still play it from time to time, but fuck "DID ANYONE ELSE PLAY THIS GEM?" and any similar style title.

Yep, no one has ever heard of it. Just you, me, and zeusmagnet.

Edit:I should point out this doesn't include the other idiots making posts with out "HERP DERP ANYONE REMEMBER THIS GEM LOLOLOL" as the title.

[–]Kasztan 1 point2 points ago

Me too, LOLOL

http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/uq7xd/you_say_mech_warrior_2_i_say_this/

I'd say gimme back my karma, if i'd give a damn about it.

Still, awesome game. There should be a "Classic's Set Remake" for every CPU/GPU weak Netbooks and for iPads and Android.

If you didn't care, you wouldn't have responded.

[–]barristonsmellme -2 points-1 points ago

How would you prefer it to be titled?

[–]konrad9 1 point2 points ago

Anything other than "Tell me I wasn't the only one who played this", "Anyone remember this gem?", "I was the only one of my friends who played this" etc etc.

[–]barristonsmellme 0 points1 point ago

Which leaves us with such things as "This is a game."

[–]konrad9 0 points1 point ago

Which leaves us with such things as "I really enjoyed this game back in the day", "I wish they would make a sequel to this", "It'd be nice if they made games as original as this these days".

[–]barristonsmellme 1 point2 points ago

Then those titles become popular, and the circle of hating everything continues. This is by no means a jab at you by the way, it's just stating that it's impossible to keep everyone happy. I bet half the post titled "Gem" are actually pretty good, but they'll never be clicked by me!

Unless it's like a few hours later and everything else is purple.

[–]liqfan[!] 0 points1 point ago

Hell yeah, lots and lots of times. Great game! Totally owned the shit out of it

[–]creationz 0 points1 point ago

Fucking brilliant game!

[–]zeusmagnet 0 points1 point ago

This game was awesome. No one I know has heard of it. If only they knew what they missed.

[–]amoebaserious 0 points1 point ago

Got it for a friend for his birthday in high school and I swear I ended up borrowing it more than he owned it, fucking awesome game.
