Transformers: War for Cybertron

Post by Sapphire Wolf »

For those who are interested, I found out about this game on tfw2005.com. IMO, sounds like a pleasing Transformers game (even though it's still a work in progress). The style is a mix between Generation 1 and War Within.
Here's the link to the game's site:

Hopefully it'll be better than the other TFs based games.

keypoints from the podcast for Transformers: War For Cybertron @ tfw2005.com wrote:* The game is a 3rd person shooter, with gameplay like Gears of War.
* Cover can be destroyed, fully destructable environments.
* The backgrounds and backdrops will not be static. (Things will happen in the NPC world, such as energon being transported, machinery working, maybe even cameos).
* Story missions and Co-op are confirmed--a team of at least three other characters is confirmed. There will also be both multiplayer and single player modes.
* Three vehicle classes: Tanks, Jets and another unmentioned class. Depending on the classes and your abilities, the levels will be multi-tiered and have different paths. For jets, this means multiple vertical levels to explore.
* All characters have two different time-based skills (e.g. Shield, invisibility, teleport, etc.).
* Storyline is one story broken into two interlocking parts, Decepticon Campaign (first half) and the Autobot Campaign(last half). It is an origin story.
* Second level is set to explain Starscream and Megatron's relationship. (The first level was previously confirmed as being the tale of the first meeting of Megatron and Starscream).
* Many of the G1 actors are coming back to reprise their original roles. A formal announcement will be made at a later date in 2010; however, Peter Cullen is confirmed as Optimus Prime.
* Hasbro has said this game is canon.

Look, the change of style for Transformers is NOT something new, it's old. Take Transfromers Armada (~2003) for instance or at least Beast Wars (1996), the character designs look different. The change of style's been around for a long time. The designs are gonna be totally different from the Movie designs. take Megatron for instance, he now looks more like a evil robotic overlord (e.g. Transformers Animated) rather than a terrifying beast (Bayformers). And he kinda reminds me of Animated Megatron (just slightly).
And you guys never seen the War Within style of Transformers?! here they are

Looks like it's gonna beat the crap out of ROTF (or the 1st Bayformer)

Website is pretty cool, I like the initial transmission dial that you have to decode.

Except for the fact when you finally get 100% recovery it doesn't do anything!!!??
