Rogue Trooper Redux Brings Cult Classic Shooting to PS4 This October

Rogue-like

by Robert Ramsey Thu 20th Jul 2017

Originally released all the way back in 2006 for the PlayStation 2, Rogue Trooper is still fondly remembered by some as a solid third-person shooter. Developer Rebellion is remastering the cult classic and bringing it to PlayStation 4 on the 17th October. Hopefully the gameplay still holds together.

Judging by the graphics comparison video that we've embedded above, the studio's done a good job of polishing up the title's visuals for the current generation. Give it a watch and let us know if Rogue Trooper Redux is on your radar in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

It was an interesting game but I think its quite dated now. I watched a video of the Redux version and thought it still looks dated and in truth I am more interested in Strange Brigade - may pick this up but not on release. October is already a bit packed for me and November is going to be expensive. I can't see me picking this up, if I do, until the new year but with AC: Origins, Evil Within 2, Destiny 2, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus (2?? LOL), CoD:WW2, SW:BF2 (lots of '2's and no I am not planning on Knack 2 LOL), Forza 7, Uncharted: Lost Legacy and of course the XB1X, I do think this is not likely to be bought.

I know 2018 is looking great too - RDR2 (another 2), Spider-Man, maybe God of War and Far Cry 5 but we haven't got too many confirmed dated games for 2018 and I can see me having quite a few games to play anyway. As a result this is unlikely but I won't say 'never'.

This looks like the most PS2 ass TPS shooter ever.

It was pretty great back in the day, but this was a time when Red Faction was considered an amazing FPS so...

@BAMozzy Not getting a Xbox X to be fair i will never buy a Xbox. Will be getting a White Pro and trade in the original PS4. To much PS4 games i want and to nothing special that makes me want to get a Xbox rather get a Switch then with Metriod but no hurry there. 😀

Looks like you are a big shooterfan.

@ztpayne7 I hadn't, just never going to buy it!!!

@Flaming_Kaiser Would never have guessed you wouldn't buy an xbox with some of you overly bias posts! I already have a PS4 Pro and in the perfect Colour for my Audio Visual set-up! I hate White but each to their own.

Granted there are a number of 'shooters' in my 'wanted' list - just so happens that this time of year is synonymous with the big shooters releasing. I actually prefer a good action/adventure game to a 'shooter' although most of those do offer 'shooting' too. I wouldn't necessarily consider AC: O, Evil Within 2, Uncharted: Lost Legacy or RDR2 - also Days Gone (my most anticipated), Anthem to be 'shooters' - just so happens they have some shooting mechanics - even if its a bow in the case of AC: O. Did you also classify Horizon:ZD, ME:A, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3 as shooters? Metro Redux I guess is a shooter I am also looking forward too. Destiny is a 'Shooter' not that I like the Crucible (PvP) but Raiding is one of the best experiences I have had co-operatively in recent years.

I primary class myself as a gamer and want the 'best' console experience possible. Its one of the reasons I bought a Pro and the reason I am getting the X. I admit that Sea of Thieves isn't on my watch list and Crackdown 3 isn't exactly one of my priorities this holiday season. I have no interest in a PC so if I can buy a Console that offers 4k HDR and the best console experience, then I will buy it. I am certainly no 'fanboy' and favour one over the other - its purely about getting the best I can.
