WatchMojo.com have posted a new video for War for Cybertron that gives us a whole lot of new information and lets us get a peek at characters we haven't seen before and a longer look at those we've only had a glimpse of. The video contains some storyline elements so be careful if you want to avoid spoilers. You can see the video here or embedded below:

The Video lost me at #5. Gameplay and on look pretty bad. Everything before looks great. It seems with each new information the game looks less and less good.

Huh? No offense intended, but are you mental? lol THis looks to be the best Transformers game ever made and a definite boon to the non-movie fictions and toy-lines. I'm impressed by everything I've seen so far and praying it's as good as it looks.

From the 00:38 mark:

Once a soldier, he has been forced to lead a desperate bid to prevent THE MEGATRON and his Decepticons from finding the legendary Dark Energon power source.

The Megatron? THE MEGATRON? I can't believe he said that....

[NassaDane]

Oh yeah and Mega Spoilers if i ever decide to play this. The whole Dark Energon thing! No Spoiler warnings either.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

I kinda don't like the idea of the levels being seperated into flying levels and ground levels. However, that does not take away from the game enough for me to not say that it will be epic to BURN all you Autobots to cinders and scrap.

No, no. Not "The Megatron", *THE* Megatron!

Oh yeah and Mega Spoilers if i ever decide to play this. The whole Dark Energon thing! No Spoiler warnings either.

I'm pretty sure that the point of the plot comes up pretty quick in the game anyway. Besides, it was in a previous trailer/interview.

I caught that. You could argue that he meant "The one and only Megatron" but the way he said it sounded more like "The Fallen" like his name is supposed to start that way.


The poor fact-checking aside, this looks like a slice of fried gold. A better way to watch this video is without sound.

That's not a spoiler, that's the plot.

[NassaDane]

If I didn't know it, its a Spoiler. The main guy in psycho is his mother, thats not a spoiler its the plot.

Now I'm REALLY wishing for an XBox after I saw this.

I haven't invested yet, so can you tell me why, is it becuase the xBox has better online capabilities ie; being able to comunicate with others?

Now I'm REALLY wishing for an XBox after I saw this.

I haven't invested yet, so can you tell me why, is it becuase the xBox has better online capabilities ie; being able to comunicate with others?

The Xbox 360 has Xbox Live (or XBL) which allows gamers to communicate with other gamers with both a keypad, headset(both wired you plug it into the controller and wireless), and a video camera, you can also chat on Twitter and Facebook. You can also watch exclusive videos, download games, DLC, videos, music, movies, news, (it's clips from NBC and MSNBC shows only). You can buy classic and new games from the Xbox Marketplace with Microsoft points which you get buying "cards" at any major store for $20 for 1600 Points or $50 for 4000 Points or through XBL (it will cost you more than the cards though).

The PS3 has the PlayStation Network (or PSN) which allows gamers to communicate with a keypad that plugs into controller and a video camera (I don't know if there are headsets I haven't seen them) you can chat via Facebook. You do gain full internet access with a PS3 so you're not limited to the PSN, you can post a message here on PSN you CAN'T do that on XBL. You also get a Blu-Ray player as well.
You can also download videos, games, DLC, and buy PS1 games from it as well, from the PlayStation store for American currency (at least here in the USA in other countries I don't know) which you can get buying cards for $20 or $50.

I just got a PS3 about 2 months ago and have Xbox 360 for over 2 years and been on XBL for about 18 months so maybe I haven't figured out the PS3 and PSN yet.
But IMHO XBL is better organized than the PSN (and maybe it's just me but XBL downloads stuff faster than PSN) while the PSN has the added advantage of an internet browser (wonder why Microsoft hasn't thought of that) it feels a a bit weird for me to navigate through sites on my TV and with the PS3 controller though. I can't say that the PSN is awful but it feels like it's still in beta and needs to redesigned to be more user-friendly.

Finally thoughts: I would go with the Xbox 360 and XBL.

If I didn't know it, its a Spoiler. The main guy in psycho is his mother, thats not a spoiler its the plot.

So, if you're ignorant to it, that makes it a spoiler? It's not their fault you haven't been following news.

And that's a terrible example. "Luke has to train to fight Darth Vader" is the plot of Empire Strikes Back, "Darth Vader is Luke's father" is a spoiler. "Autobots and Decepticons are searching for the All Spark" is the plot to the 07 movie, "Sam uses the All Spark to kill Megatron" is a spoiler. You see what I mean? The basic plot of something isn't a spoiler. Who lives, who ides, how they die, is a spoiler.

"Megatron attempts to weaponize Energon through the use of Dark Energon in a bid to win the war" is the main plot of War for Cybertron. It's not a spoiler, you just haven't been paying attention.

[Ungie]

Ok... ok. here needs to be a spoiler warning. At 1:06 or so it shows THE MEGATRON smashing Optimus's head in his fist. What?!

[esclavo]

Excuse while I go change my trousers!

[NassaDane]

ah, i did miss that spoiler warming in the info for the video, i read it i guess just not closely enough. That was my bad.

And yeah that still is a spoiler. Luke fighting the dark side is still a spoiler if you don't know much about the series at all (but thats a bad example cause its very very hard to even find someone who doesn't know even a little on Star Wars, even people who hate it will know stuff like that) But if you had never heard about this game you wouldn't know about the Dark Energon. You can't argue about soilers, if it spoils something it is a spoiler, you can't change that.
