OK, this looks amazing. They seriously need to finish this game. We are LONG overdue for a new Transformers storyline, villain, and game. Legion, huh? Was anyone else getting ROTB Apelinq vibes from some of those targets?

So far, so good, but let's hope there's no plump HR lady or "consultants" agencies that sabotaged the game from the inside since then.
I want a Transformers game, not ROBOT UNICORN ATTACK.
Check it out, it's a classic!

Now that I think about it, yes, but seeing them in gameplay immediately reminded me of those Decepticlones that would neutralize your weapons then use wrestling moves on you in the PS2 Armada game.First-Aid wrote:Was anyone else getting ROTB Apelinq vibes from some of those targets?

The visuals are beautiful. And great gameplay in all of this…
But I can’t help thinking about the original beast wars PlayStation game. Like that one, It feels like they just dropped the transformers, brand and character models into a game that has nothing to do with transformers.
It’s missing all of the characterization, voices, plot, and lore that come with the franchise… All of the things that put heart and emotion and gravitas into a show or game. While I think it would be fun to play, I can’t help, but hope for another game on the horizon that is more in the lines of devastation or fall of Cybertron that will have me cheering for the characters I love and draw me into the story.

Honestly, we don't know near enough about it to say it's missing those things. This is gameplay only, after all. What else do we know about this? Honestly, jack squat. We don't know the story. We don't know the characterizations. All we know is the figures we've gotten and this walkthrough with what may be a temporary voice actor.

Nice mix between High Moon Cybertron third person shooting and Devastation combat. Shame this isn't in the 40th anniversary while that one budget friendly racing combat game took its spot (if intended)

TFReaper has uploaded leaked gameplay footage of the game from 2020. It gives us an idea of the third person angle this game has along with the how the transformation gimmick is implemented along with what the enemies are. And we see that Bumblebee design that we are now very familiar with due to the toys.

DEVASTATION is a TPS because the shooting is stronger than the slashing.Even for scoring:headshot with a rapid weapon,beat'em alls don't have headshots,Columbo.The most distinct is the dodge+slow motion or the vehicule crash+it,the very strong drill shot that can be charged(logically not the same model as Devastator because of size).The two others are higly story driven,i can see why you would prefer the multiplayer over the playable cutscenes.BATTLEGROUNDS is a turn by turn TPS.

The game was announced in December 2022 with a cinematic trailer and promises of a beta that never happened. Their next social media update was a full year later promising "exciting updates" in 2024. Here we are another full year later with nothing. But oh hey look, leaked gameplay from nearly FIVE YEARS ago. lol this game is never happening.

If the game is one more online hero shooter à la Overwatch, it better be FTP with a kick-ass co-op story mode, and generous rewards, with a simple interface.
If they fail just ONE of these aspects, the game will be effectively DOA.

That's all well and fine if the game actually releases, which it totally won't.

Or maybe, just maybe, they need more time to cook so they can trash all the hero-shooter concepts (a genre where competition is ruthless and unforgiving) and go back to make a stellar single player experience like the Activision classics.
But I'm not holding my breath.

It's official, the live service game Transformers Reactivate has been cancelled. This comes to us from Splash Damage, the developers, who say the game is no longer being developed. You can read their whole statement below, which they posted on Twitter. We thank Sabrblade for letting us know of this unfortunate development. While a coincidence, this does happen at the same time that Hasbro will be doing games based on their properties themselves rather than licensing it out to third party companies. We will be giving you more info on this shift in Hasbro's business strategies in an upcoming editorial.

After the DOA Concord, and the failure of so many hero shooters, INCLUDING OVERWATCH, plus having to compete with Fortnite and the Marvel Rivals juggernaut, it's no wonder that it was pointless spending more ressources on that TF themed hero shooter.
Too bad the whole thing will be buried for a tax return instead of being redirected into a kick-ass single player game like the Activision classics.

I never needed a AAA Transformers video game with all the fancy shmancy (read: modern greedy crap) live-service, endless DLCs, pay-to-win crap. Just wanted a good single player TPS with decent graphics (WFC/FOC is still serviceable to this day) that moves the franchise forward. Cut the multiplayer aspect to save on development & support costs. A good game with awesome designs drives toy sales and franchise exposure to the general public. We had a winning formula with WFC/FOC/Davastation, is it so hard to get back to that basics?
I doubt I'll play Deactivate, er, I mean Reactivate even if it comes out because of its live-service focus. But I was interested to know how story driven it will be - even if the premise of human & Transformers banding together to fight some space snakes sound stupid/wasted potential on the outset. We are starved for more mature stories outside of Skybound comics.
Now it's all for naught. Oh well, I MIGHT get the two 2-packs as memoriam for what it could be... if they're on sale.
