Im a big transformers fan, back to Gen 1. But I'm a little leery about this game. They seem to be putting alot of emphasis on the multiplayer, and we've seen time and time again that a shitty MP will hurt the singleplayer experience as well.
Transformers: War For Cybertron
Game » consists of 20 releases. Released Jun 22, 2010
A depiction of the beginning of the infamous war between the noble Autobots and the nefarious Decepticons, set on the Transformers' homeworld, Cybertron, long before they had even heard of humans or the planet Earth.
Anybody think this game will be a success?
I really hope not. I think it looks really good (I love that Omega Supreme is one of the bosses), but that doesn't really matter if there's nobody around to play the multiplayer, since it's the focus of the game. I suspect that it will be a flop. Might make for a good $20 purchase down the road, though.
Game looks like a sleeper. Hope it does do well.. Not to sound too much like a fan boy, Jazz Transforms like.. Jazz.. Small thing but I was like "Hey! That's how he does Transform.."
From playing the demo I think the game will be pretty good. It looked clean and I had fun playing the classes that they allowed. I find it weird that some of you guys are hoping it doesn't do well and are just straight hating. I am dying for a good TF game.
The demo had so little of the game to see that all it really did was show that you move and shoot stuff. I saw a video of someone who got it early and they said the campaign is quite short, saying quote " even if you play through both campaigns on the three difficulties, you would be done in a day". This was video of a dude talking, no gameplay, no proof he even had the game. So it might be BS or speculation on his part. He looked like a day to him literally means he sat in his room all day while growing his neckbeard and playing nonstop, so a day might mean 20+ hours.
The endings to both campaigns are already on youtube, both consist of huge boss battles reminiscent of the Armada game's Tidal Wave encounter.
I think the game will be a success, not a huge breakout hit that will be anyone's game of the year, but it will sell well to the TF fans that game. They chose a great time to release the game since Botcon (the big TF convention) is this weekend so fans are geared to get some TF action. The old Armada game was a success too, and it had far less going for it in terms of story and setting. Optimus was the only original character in it, everyone else was from later series.
Well, there's going to be a lot who buy it based solely on the name, but then a lot who WON'T buy it because they'll think it's a crappy licensed game (which it may be, I haven't played it).
After playing the demo... meh.
Seems fun for hardcore Transformers fans, but I just didn't have too much fun. It was definitely the best Transformers game I have ever played though.
I sure hope it does well since it's probably the most fun I've had reliving my childhood in a long time. My only fear is that if it does go well Activision will rape it to death just like they do everything else. Course the multiplayer is a lot of fun so I won't mind seeing some DLC.
It was an OK game. I didnt really care about the Deception campaign, it felt like it just dragged on. Other than having no cover system, my biggest complaint was some of the boss fights, especially the last like 2. It was basically drive around in circle, then shoot X-target on body as much as you can before you have to start moving. It was just to common, it seemed like every boss had a similar feel.
Yep i think it will for Transformers Fans...Awesome game,im loving every minute of it!
played about 40hours so far... Co op campaign was so much fun! took me and a mate about 12 hours
