I doubt it in escalation mode. There's no co-op in the campaign

Don't count on it. Fall of Cybertron is no longer a co-op campaign experience. Co-op has been sacrificed for greater narrative.

Those stealth kills of Starscream's are pretty badass. I'm not a fan of those one-size-fits-all force fields. I'm finding them quite distracting when they recharge every few seconds and engulf half the screen. Visually it looks like a vast improvement over WFC.

I don't mind that they've changed Slag's voice from what it was in G1, but I don't like that he now sounds like some pompous knob.

To quote Knock Out, "I think I leaked a little lubricant."

I think High Moon understands the concept of TF, and I have faith that they are taking the series in a better direction than what Bay did.
He was political about his opinions of Bay. But I'm really curious to hear what he has to say about the movies.
I agree the sound effects and mechanical design were gr8 in Bay.
I wish now for the 4th movie, to have some elements that are from FOC.
But I think I've heard so much of Matt's sales pitch, I just want to buy this game asap, I won't even have an Xbox and I'm going to buy the game!

One thing that I didn't like in previous vids, was Slag's voice was not how it used to be.

What do you mean not how it used to be, this is the first time we see and hear the Prime continuity Slag.

He means Slug's voice doesn't sound like an homage to G1 Slag's voice.

Though, G1 Slag did sound like that in "War of the Dinobots".

I know what he meant, and if you read my comment I point out how this is not G1 but Prime Slag so he can sound how ever the hell he wants to.
And yes, I was being a smart-ass asshole on purpose. Should be common knowledge by now that this isn't G1.

Sadly.

The Transformers: Fall of Cybertron footage continues to roll in from E3. Below we gameplay clips of Grimlock and Megatron, Escalation mode demo, and another Matt Tieger interview discussing design and special abilities.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron rolls out on August 28th!

CLIFFJUMPER THE DWAYNE JOHNSON GUY

damnit Megatron has the same voice actor as the last one, was hoping they'd replace him.

Did optimus call in an air strike? How metal is THAT.

in the gametrailers vid, the "Excuse me!" scene almost makes me forget that I've heard "What is it that makes a Transformers game, Transformers? Transforming, right? I know it sounds silly but..." about a thousand times now.

Found the remix. It was hard to track it down until recently.

Okay... So why aren't all the Navi in the Grimlock footage telling Grimlock to listen and why didn't he kill them?

I was trying SO HARD not to make a joke about that, but...
DAMMIT! Why is Grimlock in the Lost Woods!?

The posted Escalation gameplay appears to be a lower quality, cropped version of the one posted via GameInformer a couple days ago.

Tell that to Matt Tieger, who blatantly said in one of this year's E3 interviews that Fall of Cybertron tells the story that leads up to G1.

For all we know, WFC/FoC's continuity branches off into both an Aligned continuity and a new Primax continuity. But official sources don't seem to be decided about what's what right now.

In this video interview, the interviewer asks Tieger about that:

Greg Miller: "For you, I mean, when you guys are sitting down and coming up with the story and planning it, are you setting it in the cartoon universe, or it is your own universe but heavily influenced by--?"
Matt Tieger: *clears throat* "I think, wha-- The latter is accurate. We generally use the G1 cartoon as our primary touchstone, but we also look at comics-- Uh, some of the older comics I really enjoyed, particularly the UK comics, actually, were very very good."
Greg Miller: *Jokingly emulates a British Optimus Prime, then stops*
Matt Tieger: "Um, so we do look at tons and tons of source material, but, at the end of the day, we do kind of carve our own path."

So, he does recognize that it's not the same universe as the G1 cartoon, and in other interviews, he's talked about how the game is part of the greater current canon of the "bible" that Hasbro recently put together, which constitutes the Aligned Continuity.

That doesn't contradict anything I said. But I'm sure he did tell them in one of those interviews that "it leads straight into G1".

Also, we still don't know if Aligned is meant to be one continuity, or many. Evidence isn't lining up to just one conclusion here.

Edit: In this interview, Matt clearly states that "it ends at the beginning of G1".

Matt Tieger wrote:It ends, kind of ... at the beginning of G1, in the sense that you are, eh the Autobots and Decepticons have been at war for a long time period. They don't even know where they're headed ultimately we know that they end up on earth.

He says kind of, just like all other Transformers stories kinda have the same premise.
But tell me this, if this is supposed to be G1, please tell me why Bumblebee can talk in all incarnations of G1, while this game tells the story of why he's mute in Transformers Prime?

Dead Metal wrote:But tell me this, if this is supposed to be G1, please tell me why Bumblebee can talk in all incarnations of G1, while this game tells the story of why he's mute in Transformers Prime?

For the same reason Lugnut is in a G1 continuity now.

Are you saying the Bay films are in Prime continuity because 'Bee is mute in them?

No, the statement is this:
The game shows us how Prime Bumblebee losses his ability to speak. Remember, War For Cybertron was set in the Prime/ Aligned continuity it's only logical that the sequel to it is also set in the Prime continuity.
We've been over this for the past two years, War for Cybertron is part of the Prime continuity not G1.
Arguing against that makes you on par with the kind of people who believe that Reptoids have been simultaneously guiding and working towards destroying our species for the past 10 thousand years or so.
