Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Though it's not often that movie tie-ins make for solid video games, that's exactly the case with the recent release of RoboCop: Rogue City. A first-person shooter developed by Teyon, Peter Weller of RoboCop 1 and 2 fame reprises his role to take down the criminals and unscrupulous characters of Old Detroit once again.
A Story Reason Is Never Given For The Old Man's Disappearance Though the Old Man is referenced once in a throwaway line as "expendable," in the third film, how he died is never directly discussed. As such an iconic character in the first two RoboCop films, it's a seemingly strange decision that the Old Man just evaporated from existence in the third movie.
Toward the end of the game's narrative, the Old Man is revived in the form of the RoboCop2 model, a similar robot to Cain's robot, the fanatical leader of the Nuke Cult from the second RoboCop film and that movie's main villain. This results in a super-powered Old Man taking on Murphy in a final showdown. Though this is just one of many callbacks to the original films, for fans of the original movie that debuted in 1987, it's one that will be more than familiar.
