There’s no denying that the world of RoboCop is a rich tapestry, one that has been woven even more intricately with the release of Teyon’s RoboCop: Rogue City. The success of an adaptation like this hinges not just on the gameplay mechanics or the visual rendering but on the depth of its characters, brought to life by the voice actors who lend them their tones.
Diving Deeper into the RoboCop Universe
For those unfamiliar, the timeline of RoboCop: Rogue City is uniquely situated between two of the movies, creating a narrative bridge that many fans might not have realized they needed. “It’s not just a simple affair, either – Teyon has managed to thread quite the narrative between these films, as there are many missions that explore the characters and setting in greater depth than ever before,” as we pointed out in our review.
The Stars Behind the Characters
The game boasts a commendable lineup of voice actors, some of whom you’ll surely recognize. While the specific roles for most actors remain a mystery, there are a few we can pinpoint.
“Peter Weller plays RoboCop”, and he’s no stranger to the character. Weller’s portrayal of Alex Murphy, the Detroit police officer who becomes RoboCop after a tragic encounter with a violent gang, has been etched into pop culture history. But did you also know he took on the role of Stan Liddy in the fifth season of Dexter?
