No, RoboCop 2 is alright. RoboCop is probably my favorite movie. RoboCop 2 is good, not as deep, not as gratuitous, nor perfectly campy as the first but good enough for a watch. 3 is not, don't waste your time... Even Peter Weller didn't come back.
The remake totally missed the mark; had some interesting ideas and callbacks to the originated but didn't know how to capture the tone and thought of the original and took itself too seriously.

I personally like 2 better, but you're spot on. I would say the game on PS5 is the true RoboCop 3 lol.

I also love that the original is a perfect chiachism: a palindrome of a film, every scene at the start as a mirror at the end.

The new game is supposed to be good. It's been patiently waiting on my PS5.

You guys talking about RoboCop: Rogue City (the one that's already on PC)?

If so, don't get too excited. The game is mostly a mindless shoot-em-up. I was bored in under an hour.

Same here. Even with the upgrade tree it looked boring. Some here will argue it's a great game because of the AA status and small dev team. I get that, but after playing so many other great titles, that game just doesn't measure up.
