The ESRB rating for the Transformers Devastation game is out! That is the assessment from the Entertainment Software Rating Board. While it doesn't give any new info, this is always important news in game journalism since it shows a governing party's assessment of a game, and shows that it is well along its production cycle.

TRANSFORMERS: Devastation

Platform: Windows PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

Rating Category:

Content Descriptors: Fantasy Violence. Content is generally suitable for ages 13 and up.

Rating Summary: This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of Autobots on a mission to stop the Deceptions' evil plans. From a third-person perspective, players traverse urban environments and battle enemy robots in frenetic melee-style combat. Players use swords, energy blades, laser blasters, and vehicles attacks to destroy enemies. Battles are accompanied by close-up slow motion effects and colorful flashes of light; enemies disappear amid large explosions when defeated. In one sequence, players can use laser turrets to shoot down a horde of flying robots.

There was also an interview about this game on Dualshockers which revealed the game's tech specs and some trivia. Here it is below:

PlatinumGames’ Transformers: Devastation Will Run at 60 FPS on All Consoles, 1080p on PS4/Xbox One

Transformers: Devastation is a game by PlatinumGames, and on top of that, it’s directed by Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’s Kenji Saito. This means that fast, unrelenting action is one of the game’s main selling points.

In order to support that kind of action, 60 frames per second are almost a must, and Producer Robert Conkey himself confirmed at Gamescom that the game will run at 60 FPS on all consoles (even if he admitted that there might be some dips on PS3 and Xbox 360 in very chaotic scenes, but that’s entirely understandable, while on PS4 and Xbox One the frame rate will be stable).

Resolution-wise, we’ll get 1080p on PS4 and Xbox One, and 720p on PS3 and Xbox 360. Of course PC gamers will get whatever their rig can handle.

We also learned a few more details from Conkey and Saito-san himself:

Activision was the one that went to PlatinumGames with the idea of the game, and discovered that the folks at the house of Bayonetta were big Transformers fans.
The game is not developed by the same team as The Legend of Korra, as PlatinumGames mixes and matches teams for different games. Some developers come from Korra (for instance the producer), others from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and from other games.
At the end of every combo you can trigger a transformation attack, with the right timing. After that, you can chain a fully new combo.
Loot changes depending on difficulty. You have a chance to get better loot the more challenging you choose the game to be.
Taking the visuals directly from the shows would have caused the graphics to look pretty dated, so the team used modern animation techniques like glow shading applied to the entire world.
Animations have been referenced heavily from the old shows, but they have been mixed with PlatinumGames style and responsiveness.
Transformations are a mix of the shows, in which the Transformers “morph,” and of the toys, in which parts are mechanically moved into place.
If you’re wondering, I also got a chance to try the game on PS4, and boy, it was really, really fun. This is definitely a title to watch.

Aww, come on, with cell-shading and the overly simple character meshes, I'm very sure this could have ran well on the ps3, guess I could get it for my laptop, but still :-x

The cassettes and reflector as scouts. On the autobot's side: wheel jack and ratchet, grapple and hoist, bumblebee and cliff jumper...

Mine would be a hack'n'slash game using the Dynasty Warriors 8 engine (character roster size, weapon interchangeability, and weapon combo system) really give you a feel for fighting in one of the war for cybertron cutscenes 8-)

It'll still run at 60fps at least. That's better than most things out on the market right now.

Yeah, its all there in the news article:

Although I totally agree that it not appearing on the ESRP site was wierd.

I completely agree! I've had the exact same thoughts regarding a Transformers RTS! Sadly, I don't think we'll ever see anything of the sort - RTS games really only work well on the PC platform... I think we all know that developers prefer the larger profit opportunities promised by console gaming. A game format limited to one platform would be a risk, especially competing against solid PC mainstay RTS games like Starcraft or Command & Conquer.

yep desktops work better for these sort of games, however i really enjoyed xcom both on the ps3 and iPad (pity there aren't immediate plans for its sequel to be multi platform)! I think it's actually cheaper to develop for the pc then try and have it ported.

There are also lots of little pseudo rts games on tablets... don't really enjoy them because i prefer pay once games instead of the in app purchases... The hit man go format might be adapted in an interesting way where you have to transform to clear detection

one thing that worries me is the price...

http://www.zavvi.com/games-ps4/transfor ... suggestion

i think it's cos it's a british site and the pound is very strong at the mo, but €80 is too steep for a new release that isn't offering and special add ons etc

Well, that and XCOM isn't an RST. The reason they're doing XCOM 2 as PC-only is because it's vastly easier than having to develop it for multiple systems, and PC is the one Firaxis is most comfortable with. That and PC doesn't have a lot of the restrictions that consoles would have.

yep indeed, think at the end of the day any proper strategy game, be in turn based xcom style, 4x or Command and conquer style, it would be interesting to see the characters' abilities and transformation really become important to the play rather than a way of getting from a to b quicker etc

I mean, sure, if you want to play a buggy, unfinished game, they can release it months ahead of schedule. But I can guarantee you don't want that.

I don't give two F's how they're made! All I know is we're being teased with all these titbits but yet the game's still months away from release! It just feels like they're jerking us around! YES I understand that we don't want a half assed unfinished game nor a rushed completed one that could turn out to be crap! + I don't recall any other of the previous TF Games teasing us for this long....before the actual games release.

You should. Then you'd see the folly in whining for them to release it quicker.

Xbox usually posts a list of game achievements a few weeks before the games come out including the achievement's pictures

One of these photos confirm a certain antagonist or at least his design.

It's IDW Nova Prime based on combiner wars Optimus design

Edit: also shows designs of other characters such as Megatron and confirms his tank mode and how Offroad replaces Wildrider for Menasor who is also in the game.

Right but...how do you know he's a secret final boss? Those don't even resemble typical achievement icons, they look like concept and character art being used as placeholders. And also, how do you know he's a secret final boss, based solely on the fact that character art that kinda sorta looks like him shows up there?

Jackpot! Thanks for the link. These model sheets look amazing!

Optimus Prime (with round tankers here); Sideswipe (cannon on other shoulder); Grimlock; Starscream (larger cannons); Soundwave & the Cassettes; Blitzwing; and Shockwave are all faithful to the cartoon, pretty much.

Wheeljack too, with a handful of new added details, most notably the piece on his back.

Bumbleebe, Megatron and Menasor have some new design elements inspired by the toys, but modeled in the "Sunbow" style to fit in with the others.

No! but they could've done the campaign for it a lot closer to the games release date! rather than waaay too soon.

As I said before....it just feels like the release of this is taking forever.

But obviously I'm ranting AFTER the fact! as they're already running the campaign, so anything I say on the matter is obsolete.

We have some additional news today on the upcoming Activision Transformers: Devastation, thanks to Seibertron.com user SlyTF1 and their findings over on XBoxAchievements. It looks like the full list of Trophies (PS4) and Achievements (XBox) has been posted to the site, revealing a grand total of 30, between regular and secret. We've mirrored some screenshots below, but head over here to take a look for yourselves - and be warned, some spoil later bosses and opponents!

The achievements are all bog standard and the characters are all the obvious G1 cartoon guys, everything's looking exactly as you'd expect them.... and then there's Nova Prime.

What tells me he's just going to be a sequel hook?

I'm hoping the combat isn't as cookie cutter as the trailers are making it out to be. Grimlock seems slightly slower, mainly because his Dino mode hasn't got wheels. But the others all look a bit samey.

There is that one achievement for headshots so there seems to be more variety to the game than just button mashing enemies to death like we've seen in the videos. Looks like there's a race as well.

Looks like it.

That Nova Prime looks conspicuously like CW Optimus Prime. Look at the arms and legs

As intriguing as that is, I'd imagine that recent(/upcoming?) White Optimus would've just been straight-up Nova Prime if they actually had any plans for him...

This may be old news, but I just noticed the pre-orders went up on the PSN today for $49.99. Looks like the same for Amazon/Gamestop and so on. Same price for all console versions.
