Rebellion has released footage of its forthcoming remaster Rogue Trooper Redux, which is due for release on the Nintendo Switch.
Based on the classic 2000AD comic strip, Rogue Trooper sees you stepping onto the shoes of a genetically-modified super-soldier. This update is based on Rogue Trooper video game from 2006, which was subsequently re-packaged on Wii in 2009 as Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre.
What do you make of this early footage? Will you be double-dipping on Switch, or did the game pass you by the first time around?

Doesn't look awful or anything, but it screams "generic shooter."
Can't see much reason to get it over the myriad of other shooters out there.
Never heard of it, but it looks kinda neat. Might wait for a review.
Love Rogue Trooper, Im totally in, while we at British comic books, when are we getting a Judge Dredd game?
Should I have heard of this game? I don't even remember the original.
I would much rather have Rogue Squadron. When are they going to repackage that game?
@Juma009 game! Just give me another film lol
Never heard of it but looks cool, not too many shooters on the switch so the more the merrier
Co-op gameplay that I've heard they confirmed might make this a buy.
I am willing to give this game a try. It's a shooter from a third party supporting the Switch, and it doesn't look too bad.
Is this getting a physical release or is it just eshop?
I think it looks ok will get it if its released as a physical copy. Do we know if its just eshop?
@auty1987 hopefully PHysical release if so day 1 purchess
Avatar on steroids.
Looks pretty decent. There aren't exactly any shooters on Switch so this is nice. Splatoon 2 will probably be the only one until this releases.
@agnuspuss yeah man definatley looks a fun experience
Looks okay, but I already own Gears of War so....
Liked the strip in 2000AD way back in the day. This looks like a basic FPS which I would be happy with for a while, as long as the controls are fine.
doesn't look like its gonna be anything special, but given the lack of shooters available, i'll probably give it a go... so long as the reviews aren't too brutal...
I missed this on Wii, I believe it was reviewed well and so will probably get this.
I only have a Switch. No PS4 or XBox one.
So in the absence of any other AAA shooter on the Switch this will fill the gap for me.
Only hope it has a good online multiplayer mode as well as a good story mode.
I'm not familiar with the 2000AD comics, but anyone familiar with Valiant comics from the 90s or relaunch in 2012? The main character looks WAY too similar to Bloodshot from Valiant
@HeroponRiki you know something I don't? where is this myriad of shooters on the switch?
can your recommend a few please
Holy moley this is coming to Switch? It looks fantastic. Buying for sure.
Yup, that's a PS2 era shooter with a new coat of paint.
@markie7235 Rogue predates Valiant and Bloodshot by about 11 years.
This game looks zarjaz!
@markie7235 You should boycott Valiant, because Rogue Trooper was first by maybe a decade.
ETA: eh, ninjaed. Oh well. Anyway, I'll probably buy this. It's a third-party shooter based on a British comic - gotta support.
The original passed me by, and I can see why. It looks wholly generic. The Switch's Devil's Third?
@JasmineDragon cool, didnt know. Not going to boycott valiant though, they have really good stories. That would be like hating Deadpool for being a Deathstroke knock off or Thanos for being a Darkseid knock off. All comic publishers borrow/steal from each other
I only hope it will have gyro aiming.
And multi Switch multiplayer (for some privacy).
@GrailUK nicely said
@markie7235 I know, and I support Valiant! Seriously, don't boycott independent comic publishers.
I bought these a couple of weeks ago.
Ready for the remake.
Too many cutscenes. I can't watch this.
Looks like some quick dumb fun similar to Mr. Shifty. I will aim to get Day One. Would be nice to see an actual sequel if this succeeds.
The original had a 7 average score. I wonder what made them want to remake it.
Good to see a shooter make it to Switch. Even if it's not a chart topper or masterclass of the genre, if it's decent it could be a nice change of pace. Of course the Switch's portability likely makes this one of the best shooters ever released on a handheld.
meh.
It looks rather good. Much better than any shooter on the Wii U.
Still, some of the fire splashing looks off.
