Does anyone else think this looks kind of like the Dreamwave art style? Slightly disappointed that there's no chance of High Moon making this since War for and Fall of Cybertron are still 2 of my favorite games.

None of that is remotely true.

High Moon is working with (Most likely for) Bungie on Destiny and its future games.

The High Moon Transformers games age is over for good.

So you have a 360... and want to play the game (correct?).... but won't because you hate the big M?

Not saying it won't eventually be released by other systems, but why miss out? They've already got the bulk of your money from you buying the system.

If I were forced to choose, I'd go Nintendo (because I'm a nostalgic idiot) but I have no real loyalty to any of them. I buys what I wants.

It looks awesome. Will need to see gameplay before I jump though.

Thank god. I never tried FoC cos War For Cybertron was such a huge boring waste of time and money with terrible floaty altmode controls and blocky models and oh god the tediousness of fighting the large bosses like Trypticon. I want that thrill from hurtling down a mountain in vehicle mode dodging trees and then transforming into robot form and blasting away. The PS2 Armada game may have had some faults (like the annoying physics when knocked or killed) and was based on a bad series but I always thought it deserved a sequel with improvements. Also I'd like them to put that game on PSN so I could play it again on my PS3. I don't have a PS2 anymore.

I was gonna give FoC a try to see if it had been improved but friends told me it was pretty much the same as WfC.

Visually it looks good. But visually it also looks like a walky, punchy, waves of bad guys game. If it's just that, I'll wait for the sales. We'll see.

MORE? Yeah. Because the market is positively flooded with G1 Transformer games. >:oP

That is so Dreamwave-esque it hurts.

Hey now, G1 PIONEERED the Transformers brand. You insult it, and you insult all the TRUE Transformer fans, the PIONEERS, the ones that helped poor little countries like mine experience the joy that is Transformers.

Okay, now these new pics are straight up Studio Ox-esque instead of the Dreamwave-esque first pics.

Sat Jun 13, 2015 6:03 pm

I must say, every screenshot of this looks like a panel from Dreamwave. (which isn't a bad thing)

Yes!!!

"and more" = Michael Bell (Sideswipe) and Gregg Berger (Grimlock)?

I hope they figured out how to process Megatron's and Soundwave's voices like in the original series.

This is too cool.

Thank Primus this game is being released on last gen consoles. I don't hate Activision yet. Shouldn't be too much nickle-and-dime-ya DLC.
I haven't bought a new video game in at least a year and already want this as much as the exclusive to Japan PS2 game, The Transfomers.
I really hope it's at least as good as WFC and FOC.

Sat Jun 13, 2015 6:23 pm

Im not into video games, but if Hasbros gonna make a toy line for a game, make one for THIS game.

News Credits: 2 · Sat Jun 13, 2015 6:24 pm

Glad it's coming out on PS3 since the only next gen console I have is a WiiU and the last TF game that got wasn't very good. I may not be a Die hard Geewunner but even I'm pretty excited about this.

Visually, It's jewel to marvel at, especially for the G1 fans. The only games I've paid full price for in the last two years were Batman Arkham Origins, WWE 2k14, and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix...out of all three of them, I feel that the my money was only well spent on the latter third. My point is, I really hope Activision doesn't screw the fans around with DLC, or buggy controls. I'll wait for the price to drop and watch a couple of gampeplay videos before making a final decision.
