It was a pretty nice surprise for Terminator Fans to be presented with new content for Terminator: Resistance in the form of a DLC entitled “Infiltrator Mode“. The new free downloadable content (currently available on Steam) puts the player in the role of a heavily battle-damaged T-800 infiltration unit, which resembles The Terminator‘s iconic future war T-800 Franco Columbu.
Check out the following full playthrough of SkyNet Vs The Resistance.
The playthrough ends with the T-800 accessing Resistance computer files that have information on John Connor and list his mother as “Sarah Connor“, and his father as “Unknown“. Could this suggest that the next DLC will feature a campaign for Kyle Reese; and star Michael Biehn? It feels like a trail of breadcrumbs for players of T: Resistance.
Fans would love Michael Biehn to return as Kyle Reese in a video game, and well, we had a blast when Michael played Sergeant Rex “Power” Colt in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Playing as Michael was sweet, and damn that soundtrack by Power Glove rocked.
You could argue that SkyNet would already have this information, as it had access to all government data before the war, or it could be seen as a nice call-back to T2 and the T-1000 accessing the police records for John Connor via police car, but we’d like to believe there is more to this than meets the eye!
Would you like to see the return of Kyle Reese in a video game leading up his sending back in time to protect Sarah Connor?
