New War For Cybertron Video: 7 Things You Should Know About War for Cybertron

I am so looking forward to this game! I hope this opens the door for a Transformers MMO.

NERDGASM!!!!!!!!

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

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.

Here are 7 things you should also know about this game:
1. I'm phyched about this game
2. I will get this Game
3. I will religiously and obsessively play this game
4. I will lose all contact with the outside world because of this game
5. I will lose my job because of this game
6. My girlfriend will probably leave me because of this game
7. HOLY CRAP I CANT WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!!

wait...know that I read #4-6, may be I should hold off on getting this game...YEAH RIGHT!!! BRING ON THE FRAGGIN HEADSHOTS!!!

Sounds like me kinda, except the girlfriend and job part

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....

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

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!

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.

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

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.
