Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Video featuring Peter Cullen

Sabrblade wrote:He just completely skirts around the whole "two worlds" aspect of the game. Can he not tell us if there are two Optimus Primes in the game?

Sabrblade wrote:"Came from another universe" might be a little more on the nose than the game's characters may think.

Though, the question remains as to which universe it might have come from.

The universe of magical MacGuffins?

Maybe Shokaract's original future that was nullified at the Omega Point?

Heck, this design even looks a bit like the Matrix of Conquest with some of the spikes folded in.

Finally some explanation to Dark Energon and going deeper into this stuff other than saying it's just Unicron's blood.

If it's as cataclysmic as it's believed to be, Megs would be wise to stay away from something that could end up being his own undoing.

How do you know this information?

* Gameplay seems similar to the Transformers mobile game, Transformers: G1 Awakening, in which characters move around on a 2D landscape, and switches to 3D during battles between characters.

* Each character has seven different attacks of varying strength, each one needing an escalating number of points to use.

* Points are earned by a character each turn, with bonus points awarded for blocking enemy attacks.

* Part of the strategy sounds set to revolve around picking whether to employ low-level attacks to harass enemies, or to take a few rounds to stock some points to bring out a more powerful attack.

* Each character has a character-specific super move, which is activated by using a specific amount of Energon, limited for each mission, so strategizing when to use these moves are paramount. An example of this is Optimus Prime's Vanguard ability, which makes enemies focus on Optimus to give other allies time to withdraw or regroup.

If only I owned 3ds. hmmm *goes to amazon.om to check prices and see how much these things cost*

I just might have to buy myself a 3ds lol

No. The graphics on this are first-generation-DS quality at best. It looks more like a cheap iPhone/Android app than an actual video game.

Va'al wrote:Another trailer for ...wait, it's Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark and not the movie! And it's a big one, as Fall of Cybertron and Age of Extinction both show up their fierce brawling, metal chomping, fire breathing warrior: Grimlock. Check him out in the embedded clip below, courtesy of the GameStop YouTube channel.

Not bothered by the re-use of FOC models/anims. Hopefully they focus on the gameplay and not some high graphics standard set by the new-gen consoles.

End of this month, game time!

I'm not happy by no competitive MP, but I always get TF games day 1, gotta keep up the tradition.

And that's fine. Normally, I'd try to get it myself. But this year's a little different for me. My finances aren't as stable as they were a year ago. I know I'll get it one day, but 24 June isn't going to be that day.

Sabrblade wrote:Okay, so if FOC Grimlock is in this in his dino body... then I honestly don't see how the FOC parts of this game could possibly fit seamlessly into the story of the actual FOC video game.
