Was Platinum the dev-team that made war/fall of Cybertron?

Nope, That was High Moon Studios.

dang

Edit- lol, apparently HMS was bought by activision after they made Fall of Cybertron and then was neutered into impotency immediately after finishing Deadpool. God I hate the video game industry.

Platinum made bayonetta and wonderful 101

I quite like Cel-Shaded when its done right.

I think Cell shading will take away some of the edge that WFC and FOC established.

Also Metal Gear Rising and Vanquish, and has ties to Okami and God Hand...

I believe they also did Legend of Korra, which I've never played but heard had things about.

But I like Platinum's style, and love G1, so TF😄 is a must buy for me.

This looks sexay!
Too bad we have no playable Decepticons....🙁

Unless you count the Nemesis Prime skin for Optimus. 😉

From what i've seen its awesome with what Platnium games has done with the G1 stuff.

After playing through chapter 1, it is!

I thought the visuals were a little funky, at first. Almost has an "uncanny valley" vibe the way it tries to mimmick the 'toon, but ends up looking like cgi pretending.

But you get used to it. And the story is definately something out of the 1980's cheese, in a good way.

Gameplay itself is, as expected, brutal. I played enough Platinum games where I acclimated fairly quickly, and can clear encounters without much trouble (Scoring a C on average, sometimes a B, and once or twice an A..) But I can only imagine how much trouble a Transformers fan that's never played a Platinum game will have.. The learning curve isn't exactly a gentle slope for newcomers.

I can't find much hype about this game outside of the ps4 section at gamefaqs. And there is NO talk from last gen owners, which I assume many still are.

Most of the Transformers fans I know who couldn't stop talking about War for Cybertron or Fall of Cybertron don't seem to have much interest in getting this..

Add this one into the pile of criminally underrated games that include God Hand, I guess..

It's a really sweet hack n slash game!
The costumization is nice!
Boss battles are cool!

Level design is pretty meh though....

Currently at chapter 5.

Grimlock is my fave character so far.

I dig that you get the main weapon of each boss after defeating them.

Well they attempted to go for the G1 style like the old cartoon, Personally i think they nailed it.
