Transformers: War for Cybertron Interview

Transformers taking the shapes of Earth vehicles before they visit Earth...wut?

YEAH! 
 
 
Wait, no.

This interview has drinking game potential, right?

300 million units, let's go.

I like the look of the game, hopefully it will play just as good. As for earth like vehicles, what i saw of the video, the vehicles didn't look that much like modern day transport stylee. What did you expect them to transform into?

Looking pretty cool.

Looks alright, I guess.

This guy does seem passionate.

Looks pretty cool. I wasn't alive for the original cartoon but I still think this looks fun.

can't wait for the robot dlc. give me cyclonus, powerglide, sky lynx, ultra magnus, shockwave, ratbat and scorponok. thanks! :)) edit: oh and playable trypticon

Warpath? Wow, wasn't expecting that one. I hope we get a full cast lineup soon though

 "Big butts: preferable. Lying: impossible."

weird hand motions there ryan.

great interview Ryan!

Has potential I think...

the ones shown in so far are, autobots; optimus prime, bumblebee, ironside, warpath, ratchet and omega supreme and decepticons; megatron, soundwave, onslaught and trypticon. I think. well also some random plane, it's hard to recognise in the jet footage, probably starscream/skywarp/thundercracker. and I'm guessing omega and trypticon aren't playable, but just bosses. there are some random other bots in the shots aswell, but those are probably generic noname trash bots the levels are filled with. too bad they couldn't just fill the levels and whole game with named robots. hehe, that would have been something. insane amount of work ahoy. but that would have been amazing, and put some personality to the random fighting throughout. not just wading through trashbots to get to a boss encounter a couple of hours down the road to finally recognise a robot. of course, the comics had a ton of other robots never released as toys and whatnot on cybertron, but all of them were different from each other at least. and were mostly awesome enough on their own to warrant toys. straxus and scrounge! :))

When he said G1, I pooped.  It was nice.

I have far more interest in this game now.

G1 for life!
 
Loved how the developer clearly knew his stuff.  Makes me much more confident that the end product will be quality.

i had totally written off transformers especially after the movie, but after seeing all the trailers and coverage of this game i am very interested.

wasn't really interested in this before, but I've heard a ton of positive feedback, so consider me interested. plus it's G1, which is automatically good

This game actually looks pretty good.

Definitely day 1 pickup for me, looks great. Could be the Transformers' version of Arkham Asylum, in terms of reinvigorating that universe for video games.

Looks doooope.

I'm not getting my hopes up for this to be an excellent game. It's really nice that we get a seemingly more mature transformers, which has been long due.... but from a few shots of the gameplay, I'm not overly impressed. Though, being respectful to source material in many ways that they are doing is a very good practice. :) This game still makes me happy.

I don't like Transformers, but this game looks better than I expected. I think that they have at least tried to make this game good, and not just a cash in. Here's hoping.

At least these guys seem to know what their doing and not go fuck it up all Hollywood style like Bay did.
 
I'm really interested in it, but I will wait untill I get to know more about this game before I get excited.

Looks like a lot of fun. We shall see.

Looks like this should be a pretty solid Transformers game. 
Never thought I'd use those words in a sentence.

Will it have the Constructicons?  Devastator would make for a great boss fight.

Sounds like this guy knows what he's talking about!
 
I would love to play a Transformers game that did not suck. That would be so awesome.

Warpath isnt obscure ffs! :(

Has promise. But it depends on how the gameplay turns out. They also need a demo out a month before release to build hype.

You know what?  If we just blow up Cybertron with all the Transformers on it, our problems will be over.  They've proven they can't communicate and each side plays its underlings against the other.  We should just... oh wait, sorry.

 Why must there always be a comment about that they are in the shape of earth vehicles? Transformers had vehicles shapes before the came to earth. And is there anyone that would say that what the transform to into this game is a earth vehicle?! Yeah... it's a truck or a car but it's one hell of a spaced out truck!
 
Transformers Plank Units! Plankicons!  
Make it happen!

Sweeeeet! I thought this was gonna be based on the movies, but it totally isn't. 
I am now more interested.

I know Omega Supreme and Trypticon are in it, but honestly...
 
I need to see fucking Devastator. Devastator's always gonna be the best gestalt in my heart. No Devastator = no sale.

I want a Beast Wars: Transformers game. The TV Show still holds up.

It's very reassuring that they want to keep this stuff firmly routed in the older comics & cartoons. It's looking great so far.

So let's see...to all the people calling me out for criticizing the game because the vehicles look like vehicles on Earth. Even though this game is set before Transformers even visited Earth. The guy that designed the game even says that the vehicle types are; cars, trucks, and jets. All things found on a planet that no creature on Cybertron has ever seen. I can't be the slightest bit critical of that? After having to watch those two pieces of garbage movies, I think I have the right to be a little critical of anything that has to do with the Transformers. I was 9 years old when the Transformers cartoons came out. I am entitled to my criticisms of the franchise at this point. I was playing with Transformers before most of your mommies were even changing your diapers.

to everyone that thinks "earth shaped cars" bla bla blaa...
