yeah.. that's definitely the new camaro.
also.. it just doesn't make sense to me that their designs would be so much different.. if the fall of cybertron characters came to earth, i'd think they'd look more G1 like rather than obtaining more complicated designs..
i REALLY hope this doesn't ruin the chance of getting a follow up to FOC where they crash on earth or something.
i mean.. they could do the next one with them crashing to earth and what not.. then the last game could follow the '86 movie story line and you'd have to destroy unicron at the end.

Why would you want them to skip the thousands of years of space exploration that take place after the ending of FOC but before the TFs' arrival on Earth?TimothyR wrote:i REALLY hope this doesn't ruin the chance of getting a follow up to FOC where they crash on earth or something.

I know that the vehicle modes aren't the same. Like I said before the concept Camaro looks a lot different than the 2010 Camaro. I just don't understand why Bumblebee's stealth mode looks similar to the DOTM Bumblebee. If Transformers: Age of Extinction is supposed to be fresh and new, why not new stealth modes?

It seems to me like they're trying to do this cheaply in time for the movie. Of course they're going to try to design as little as they have to and reuse as many assets as possible in order to put out this product. I just hope that they don't change the mechanics between this and foc. God forbid we have to deal with a cover system

Thats what I dont get. Why are the films using random characters that were made up last year. Lockdown? Really? From TF Animated?
Why dont they use from the bible of iconic characters that have been written in stone and time already.
Theres a whole slew of G1 comics and cartoon characters to use and that must be used first.
Thats what irks me about when ever we get a new Superman or Batman movie they all pretty much stick to the main-roster of characters and they pretty much stay within their iconic looks and appearances. When we get a TF movie we get a mix mash of new made up characters while the while other main characters hold little to no resemblance of their iconic look.
Sorry if this is off topic but Im sorry when I think of the next Transformers movie I dont think of the Lockdown character.
budmaloney wrote:I'm confused. Is this the sequel to FOC? I may have missed the news bit, but why isn't High Moon involved?
Good question. Who knows.
My feeling is that maybe they wanted to go a different route in terms of mechanics.
WFC mechanics were very tight and clean but then of course there were the infamous glitches that took place and I think High Moon decided to switch up their style of mechanics. So then we got to FOC and the mechanics were very loose and all over the place. At least the Destroyer role was and the Dinobot forms were very slippery.
Not to mention their MP menus and matchmaking system were not the best. You spend half your time starring at loading screens and not knowing if anyone is actually online playing or not. Then you get put into a empty lobby that you never asked to be in or a match thats nearly over and then everyone quits and leaves.
Story aside though (stories have been spectacular), there just hasn't been a decent consistency with the gameplay mechanics and functions and with the glitch debacle maybe Hasbro decided to try to go with manufacturer.
But just my theory.

This has nothing to do with Sabrblade's question.

Lockdown is one of them.

I don't like how Age of Extinction Bumblebee got more of a spotlight than War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron Bumblebee. Maybe I'm just bitter from all the waves of Bumblebees from the live-action toy lines, I dunno.

It looks like the game is going to keep the two worlds separate, but the titular Dark Spark will act as portals that will enable the characters to jump back and forth between worlds as part of the level gameplay.Doubledealer93 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Is that a yellow version of the gun Generations FOC Starscream's toy came with?

Not only that but we can probably expect to see the Generations product line littered with lazy repaints and half-assed retools of shelf warmers with one or two obligatory new molds. Basically pick up any peg warming DotM/Prime/Generations figures now and start mixing and matching parts and you'll be ahead of the "new" RotDS product releases and likely get better versions than Hasbro comes out with. That's IF they decide to put any figures out for the game.
Personally, after FoC I have no desire whatsoever to see the games or the product lines tainted with any kind of "movie" crossover. The Bayverse should be it's own separate entity and NEVER touch the rest of the TF continuity as far as I'm concerned. These idiots trying to align it into the regular continuity should have their asses kicked. It's like trying to promote an incestuous relationship with that creepy relative everyone tries to avoid at family gatherings.

FoC had horrible graphics? If you only play games like Battlefield 4 and Planetside 2 I guess they're terrible, but the graphics were pretty good compared to most games.

It's the latter. The titular "Dark Spark" will act as a portal between universes that lets the playable characters crossover back and forth per the level gameplay.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:So, wait, is it a FOC game where they turn into the movie characters? Or are they separate universes that are crossing over? It can't be the first one, because the FoC and WfC games tie into the Prime universe, not the movie universe.
For more info, I'd suggest backtracking through this thread to see more videos, trailers, images, press releases, etc., as it all seems to be within this thread.

Wasn't the Aligned universe meant to be separate from all the other Transformers multiversal streams? I thought they weren't meant to interact with the larger collection of continuities, so Hasbro could come up with a new mythology and not deal with multiversal singularities or Rarified Energon or any of the other McGuffins floating around that allow for these crossovers in the first place.

For 14 hours I could play another game and a half to completion. These days, I really only go for trophies if they aren't a total grind fest. 14 hours for trophies? No thank you.

Well, it's too late, now, since we've already had cases with Aligned Slipstream winding up in Axiom Nexus and BWII Lio Convoy going into the Aligned continuity as Leo Prime.Henry921 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It's the latter.

Though the Aligned continuity remains outside of the mutliverse, travel between the two is still possible (but perhaps a lot harder to do).
Not to mention that the guys who came up with the Aligned continuity's rules that set outside of the mutliverse are no longer with Hasbro, so the new team is free to do what they wish with the previous team's works.
Still, though, with Alpha Trion and Optimus Prime being among the original Thirteen in the Aligned continuity, there's no way on Earth that the Aligned continuity can be a part of the multiverse, so that still keeps it separate.
And, depending on how this game plays out, it's possible that the WFC/FOC parts of the game might not be the actual, main Aligned universe that we've been seeing in the main games, cartoons, comics, and novels, as it could possibly be an alternate universe only based on WFC/FOC, like how "Tales of the Beast Hunters" and Transformers Go! are separate from the main Aligned timeline.

That is all that I've ever hoped for when it comes to WFC/FOC. Let it be cut away from the rest and stand alone.
Posted by Sabrblade on April 23rd, 2014 @ 8:36am CDT
I'm saying the WFC/FOC parts if this particular game might not even fit with the actual WFC and FOC games. The WFC/FOC parts of this game are said to take place after WFC but before FOC, meaning that the FOC Dinobots can't be in this game in order for it to work. But if they are, then ROTDS's WFC/FOC parts can't fit with the real WFC and FOC games, making ROTDS WFC/FOC parts into a separate WFC/FOC from the real WFC and FOC games.Henry921 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And, depending on how this game plays out, it's possible that the WFC/FOC parts of the game might not be the actual, main Aligned universe that we've been seeing in the main games, cartoons, comics, and novels, as it could possibly be an alternate universe only based on WFC/FOC, like how "Tales of the Beast Hunters" and Transformers Go! are separate from the main Aligned timeline.

Sly 2 and The Walking Dead are the only 2 games I have platinumed. And all you have to do in both of those games is just beat it.
Both WFC and FOC felt lacking to me. They could have been much better. The addition of a cover system would have made them more enjoyable. I hate when third person shooters don't have one.
