World Debut Trailer

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-transformers-war/59859

Quite epic how Prime is just slicing mo'fos with an axe. Should hopefully be pretty cool since it's borrowing a bit from the War Within era. Notice Omega Supreme toward the end. That's just neat.

Kazenji
Looks great hopefully its as good as the Transfomers PS2 (2004) game if not better.

It's actually supposed to be quite like it. You have three Autobots to choose from to go on missions and I believe they've said whichever bots you don't pick will be AI teamates.

I'll post up some more info.

Scythe
Here is info I found:

Scythe
Megs and his Alt form

Scythe
Ironhide, Soundwave and probably Blitzwing, I'd wager.

Scythe
Prime against whoever the hell that is.

Scythe
Another pic of Megs

Kazenji
I notice in that trailer with Prime he was'nt in his Truck form.

Scythe
Prime

Scythe
His alt mode is hard to describe, it's almost like a motorcycle from tron, crossed with a hot rod, finally crossed with a big ass truck. This guy on another forum has a pic of his alt mode in his signature, looks like this. Neat sig too.

Who's the big robot near the end?.

The big massive robot that stands up behind Optimus and the rest of the Autobots? I am guessing it's Omega Supreme, since it looks like him.

There's a countdown for something, but it's in Cybertronian... W-what...?

Scythe
A bit of new info:

Scythe
Concept art for Starscream, look pretty sweet.

Looks awesome. Glad it's Peter Cullen. I saw Bumblebee, Soundwave and Ratchet there, neat.

Sadako of Girth
Jesus f****** Christ...!
My eyes and ears are stunned by the apparent epicness of it.

Trypticon! Omega Supreme! Seekers looking like Seekers!
Soundwave! Bumblebee! YESSSSSSS......!!!!!!
THATS WHAT WE WANTED...!!!
Why couldnt the movies have been like this...?

This is already proof positive that I was right in calling Bay a liar about all that "Ohhhh we HAD to completely make the Bayformers look nothing like the oginal characters 'cause its the only way they'd work on screen" shit.
THIS is how they should have been.


I buying it, and thats all there is to it. Period.

Quincy
I read somewhere it's being called the "Arkham Asylum" of 2010

super pr*xy
that was so bad ass, its not even funny.. and the movie bots couldn't look like that because..?

A video they showed at Toy Fair shows the gameplay to be alot like Gears of War and Gears of War 2.

They showed a stage where you play as Optimus being backed up by Bumblebee and Ratchet

Next stage showed Jetfire in outer space flying with Air Raid and Silverbolt tryin' to do some shit or other.

Finally the last portion of the vid showed Megatron in a boss battle with Omega Supreme. It raped him severely.

Looks great.

It does. Id get this without reservation if it plays like it looks.

http://kotaku.com/5480627/transformers-war-for-cybertron-ds-preview-grimlock-goes-portable

Found this link that says Grimlock is in the DS versions of the game Not sure if he'll be in the console versions, though I don't see why not.

Scythe
This is great!

Not only is Leonard Nimoy voicing Zeta Prime, but Doug Parker will be voicing Starscream. For those of you going all, "who the f*ck is Doug Parker?" Doug Parker voiced G1 Starscream in the Beast Wars episode Possession. Sadly, he's no Chris Latta, but the next best thing. As a kid, I seriously thought it was still Chris 'Muthaf*ckin' Cobra Commando/Screamer" Latta, he's that in tune with the character.

Little by little, this game is startin' to look like Arkham Asylum for Transformers, I'm glad.

Scythe
Some new screen shots

The trailer of this is really awesome. The Transformers in this game are way cooler than in the movies.
It's nice to see some resemblances in the Transformers G1 animated series.

Anyways, on which platform can this be played?

Kazenji
Have you tried looking it up?

So, here's the game's facebook page. They've set up character bios, and recently announced Dr. Cox from Scrubs is voicing Thundercracker, pretty neat.

The only Transformers game that looked/was any good was the Armada one on the PS2.

Thats a fact of pure win in itself.

This just in. Looks like Im gonna go get my copy now, after this review...
This guy is never wrong.

Sadako of Girth
And he wasn't....its totally epic.
Unspeakable geekfest occurring right now, let me tell ya.

Megatron has a Decepticon Logo making up part of his armour on his back.. And his armour above his face has the decep logo as part of it..
The logos of each camp seem to repeat thematically in abstract ways in the design of Cybertron itself. (So far..Im still on chapter one, attacking the Station right now.) crazy graphics, the controls, whilst fiddly at first are a pleasure to wield when you get the hang of it.
The movie sections are stunning too. Absolutely the game I've wanted for years and years as G1 fan and as a fan of fast paced action..
You owe it to yourselves to get this in.... Amazing stuff....!!

They were easy for me when i played the multiplayer demo then again i have played Gears Of War.

Sadako of Girth
I have Gears of war: Im just shit at it. lol

Yeah I was pretty fluid in the end, as tired as I was in the end of last night's session.

Robtard
Nice graphics.

Sadako of Girth
Yeah you definitely get copious amounts of eye candy bang bang for your buck.

CadoAngelus
i'm interesting in the multiplayer...wondering how that'll turn out

The Nuul
Just bought this new for the PC, its 45 bucks! and is 20 bucks cheaper than the 360 version.



I dont have a great rig but I am ok playing it. The vehicle controls are difficult at times. Its a fun game, typical Unreal stuff.

Sadako of Girth

Pretty solid apparently..although some of the levels dont make the most stimulating battle zones is about the size of what I read in reviews..Ive not bothered with it as yet...Ive been waiting 'til one of my 360 using mates get it in.

CadoAngelus
I'll see what you guys think before I buy it...would need to renew my live gold membership before I can play multiplayer...

Buy a Game controller unless of course thats what your using.

Screw Xbox 360. Get your games for the PC (if its a ok/good rig). GFWL (this game doesnt use this) is the same service and free. You'll save yourself 20 bucks if you get this game for the PC instead.


Its a typical Unreal game, so its fun. I wish there are more weapons, perks.....ie goodies for the multiplayer though, Imo its very limited.

Bit low on the money side of life so i'm probably not gonna get it for a couple weeks at least. but i'll say what I think if I get it soon

Always xbox 360 for me these days for me i know the PC that i'm using can't play all the new games.

CadoAngelus
That is what I find the most true thing about Platform gaming.

As PC games require more graphics, more processing speed, more RAM, more this more that the PC gamer slowly becomes a PC nerd or a Console Gamer. Maintaining an up-to-date gaming PC is very expensive and annoying most of the time...

Kazenji
Just watched a Game review tv program they complained about the game using the Gears Of Wars system but have the ability to cover behing things

-action being too simplistic
- walking around searching for ammo and health... too much actually - you'll run out all the time.

besides those things they liked it.

Sadako of Girth
-Simplistic..? Revenge of shinobi, Tetris, Outrun, Pang, Flicky, Halo, Afterburner etc were way more simple...yet great.


-They were just crap at playing it.
Ive had no such problems. stick out tongue


Glad to hear

Kazenji
They also said there was only one melee attack erm

i seemed to remember there being two when i played the multiplayer demo.

Scythe
Haven't had much playtime with my console copy, but I've been lovin' to bits the DS version. All my favorite bots are in it and playable! Ultra Magnus, Cliffjumper, Motormaster, Skywarp, Starscream, OP, Silverbolt, Grimlock and Soundwave.

I dont think they are counting ability attacks like whirlwnd and stuff. Just the basic melee

I can only remember one per character, but you can transform and ram too, which is a kind of melee too.

I bet they do add ons for the 360 version with such characters...

Got cracking on the Autobot campaign yesterday after completing the Decepticon missions. This has been one of my favorite 360 experiences so far, this game.

Sadako of Girth
Kaz, I read the review.

1) On the xbox version Ive encountered no bugs whatsoever.

2) There is a similarity to the feel of Gears of war, but TFs is a way better game, IMHO.

3) I'd give it closer to 8 out of ten in general gamesness,
9/10 for TFs fans..

From what I've heard, the preorder only bots will be available soon to be purchased as DLC, and some bots like Grimlock and such are being saved for a possible sequel.

I need to add something here; I'm not sure if anyone else caught this or it was just mine, but during the escape from Keon Prison in the underground battle sequence with that big ass cube with my head in it. I think it was the first or second conversation, but the face of the cube you're looking at will smile on one side of the face. I just thought that was creepy for that rarely happens with me, smiling.

Yeah I'll have some THAT when its out.
Shockwave, Jazz and Onslaught are the three that interest me most.
The other two were post G1-continuity. The extra multiplayer maps sound great too.
