War For Cybertron was pretty decent, I hope this is better! There is a lot of potential in a Gears of War meets Transformers hybrid - Hopefully this scratches that itch.

Looks good. May pick it up. The first one was a really great start. If they can only improve on that then it should be great!

As weird as this might sound, the versatility of these characters and the way the levels are designed kinda reminds me of Batman's abilities in the Arkham games.

Man! I love their commitment to showing all these characters but it means hella times spent in menus... Still looks so great though. I played the demo and it seems a bit jumpy but this seems to be way more optimized. Cool guys over at Highmoon though, let's hope they somehow save that Deadpool game.

I really don't care about Transformers, but this game has some lovely art design and I like a director who knows how to sell his game.

I enjoyed War for Cybertron, and this looks even cooler! Definitely seems like there's a wide array of characters to play as.

Dude from High Moon sounds pretty stoked about his game, so that's a good sign; I'm glad they took some of the criticisms from the previous game to heart.

That loading screen tip better be in the final game.

@SoulAssassin808: I agree it isnt the best looking game, but from the looks of it, its the best transformers game any fan will ever get.. Im pretty excited for this one.

I was kinda annoyed that Jeff was too starstruck to ask some real questions.

Like, is Grimlock playable in MP

are the stealth take downs in MP

any dlc stuff we can look foward to.

Looks pretty good & nice to see the folks at High Moon Studios is critically looking at the last game to make some improvements for this. Great to get these QL EX videos with the developers from time to time to get some behind the scenes development of the game that you might not notice otherwise.

I get a real genuine sense of enthusiasm from the Full Moon guys and even though the previous game had it's flaws I thought you could still really feel the passion that went into it.

This looks cool and potentially pretty fun, I haven't ever been a big fan of Transformers but I could se myself getting this if it turns out good.

I feel the same whenever a COD game comes out. It's just preference and what you like. I have been a fan of Transformers for 25 years so i am extremely excited for it.

Super excited for this. Some of the negativity, while not shocking, is harsh imo. To be fair, Transformers is something that I loved as a kid and hasn't been treated well by anyone since the Generation One stuff. Nice to see that the High Moon guys care about what made the Transformers great. The War for Cybertron was a flawed, but good game. Much like most first entries into a new series it showed a great deal of potential and it seems like this one expands/ corrects features as needed. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when/if this series heads to Earth (Transformers: The War for Energon?).

Looks really fun, never got to play the first game but always wanted to. Might check both of them out at some point.

I'd love to see them use this tech to make a Beast Wars game. I grew up more on Beast Wars than I never did with the classic Transformers.

This looks awesome from what I've seen here. I didn't play any of the 360 Transformers games but I might actually give this one a shot. I'm also somewhat interested in ze multiplayer which was not shown..

Can't wait to play this! I'm playing through War for Cybertron right now. It has its flaws, but it's still a fun game and tells the Transformers story really, really well. Kinda bummed about no co-op, but if that makes the levels better, then it's understandable. My only criticism is that I wish this was a bit more like Space Marine in the melee department. Being able to use Optimus' crazy ax more often, for example, would be awesome.

ofc, but when I mostly wanna play it for multiplayer, and it's sort of a niche title, the experience starts to wither pretty quickly. Starting up at level 1 when most people have moved on and the ones that are still playing are max level and know the maps and classes really well can get quite discouraging.
