You shouldve really played FOC instead, tons of that stuff happens in Primes levels alone..

As for people dying,theres definitely a few more knowns to die in FOC,but you must remember its a prequel. Its kinda hard to kill off known characters of story in a prequel. ..

 

You have to look at the environments in the background to know that this game is completely copied, if you pause the trailer at the part when Grimlock eats the screen you can see the same health and ammo pick ups from FoC. All of High Moons games have had different health systems, but this one is just reusing FoCs, which is a shame as I think DOTM had the best health system. All the character models in the AoE sections look low-res and unfinished. And the mulitplayer in this game will be very hard to balance, and seeing how High Moon could not balance DOTM or FoC, as both games had OP guns and chases, I doubt this new company will be able to do it. Will I still get this game? Oh yes. It could still be very good, I am just a little worried.

 

At the end of the day...

....this Transformers game is better then no Transformers game.

 

Not nearly enough. And what the hell is that supposed to mean? People're asking for a game to happen, as a matter of fact, it did, and yet they're not happy. If you wanted that sort of game you could just look it up and find G1 Awakening.

 

Nope. I love videogames. Been playing since I was a wee lad. I'll happily play a poop story if the gameplay is fun. Borderlands, Bulletstorm, London 2012.

Hell, I beat WFC twice, so it falls in line with "Meh story, decent gameplay." I was just hoping for something better.

I have not played it yet, but from what I've see? I do like FOC more than WFC.

I get that, but by the time WFC was out, was is a prequel to anything? I know it turned into a prequel to Prime, but did that come later? Is it confirmed it was a planned prequel since the beginning?

If so, they could have used a really minor no-name character from a past generation and give him more of a personality, or even make up a new one.

Besides, if it was planned prequel to Prime....Prime didn't really use any characters from it. Sideswipe, Jazz, Ironhide, none of them ever showed up, but in the toyline. Though, I guess that's more the fault of Prime than WFC.

Because people didn't know about the game.

That, and its a cell phone game. Most people, I'd assume, would want to play on a console or handheld such and such.

 

Is this a Shattered Glass (or whatever that weird alternate universe is called) game? Looks cool either way 

Here's some new news from Superherohype.com (click here to read the full story):

 

Now not Shattered Glass, Just a universe mash.

 

Yeah IGN has their story up too:

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Details Revealed - IGN

 

So it is a sequel to FOC which im happy about. However not sure on the new developer. I tried loadout from edge of reality on steam and Im having a lot of fun with it. So hopefully they can do something awesome with transformers.

 

all i need to know about this game is how its multiplayer experience is going to be. if it's still going to be more of the same, no improvements, and not building on the qualities that made WFC a good game and FOC a decent game (which unfortunately was a downgrade from WFC in terms of taking out abilities and weapons, but an upgrade in certain aspects like host migration, weapons switching, controlling glithces, preventing cheaters), and doesn't really introduce anything new (hint, hint, make some of the characters for MP have certain abilities that are unique to theirs - for example you people buy Grimlock, we expect that to at least be able to breathe fire. or maybe the fliers/seekers should be able to do aileron roll and barrell roll.. or introduce combiners. we should be able to play in a combiner team/clan), in all likelihood i'll probably wait until it is cheap to buy..

 

Edge of Reality also ported the first three Tony Hawk games to N64, and those ports were said by some to be even better than the Playstation versions. That gives me a lot of hope.

 

Yeah their game "Loadout" is pretty fun, just downloaded it.

 

No... I don't think WayForward is in any way Intelligent Systems. Intelligent Systems is a first-party Nintendo developer. We agree that WF are a competent developer.
I only said Fire Emblem, and not Advance Wars because FE was the last TRPG of note to release. I don't like Fire Emblem. I don't like Advance Wars. I don't like tactical RPGs. I don't like the time they take to play, and I'd rather spend it playing through a typical RPG. I don't mind playing a light TRPG with familiar characters and a fun story (such as Project X Zone), which is what this will likely be, and as I said, permadeath would spice things up a bit.

I don't like shooters either, but I enjoyed WFC and FOC because they were competently made, showed love for the franchise, and had Transformers in. All of which are likely to apply to WayForward's Transformers game. Perfectly reasonable. I'm sorry if my anticipation of this game offends you. Are you possibly overreacting because secretly you think this 3DS version sounds better than the main version but you don't have a 3DS...?

 

Hold on: God Mode got taken out for no reason at all. I remember (vaguely) certain games that disabled Trophies when you activated a cheat. Trophies and cheats can coexist, but not every developer wants to bother. That's no reason to blame Trophies. Furthermore, don't you remember all the Game Genies of yesteryear??? Those devices existed for the express lack of cheats! And this was BEFORE Trophies/Achievements.
Now, if you went on to add how Trophies require collecting random crap or playing the game in an outright frustrating manner (i.e. Insane difficulty, use just one gun, use no ammo, etc.)... I'd agree wholeheartedly!  

Contra 4 was TERRIBLE. IMO.
You sort of jumped from WayForward into other companies, and then talk about how WayForward will make a great game. I'm not sure they're going to make an awesome Tactical RPG, even though enough of us would enjoy such a thing. Wanting it to be true, and comparing games like Contra 4? I haven't played Godzilla Domination, but maybe that's a WayForward Tactical RPG you are referencing? Cause then I understand the enthusiasm. If, however, a bunch of you are being enthusiastic about a genre WayForward has not touched...  

And then you read the release date, and your opinion nose-dives!   Movie tie-in game FTW?

You made a lot of great points. But I just want to add: since when do TF characters die? I don't read the comics, I'll admit, but then does that mean they die all the time in the comics?
Cartoons? No/Seldom deaths.
Video Games? Seldom deaths.
Toys? Ahhhh... I see where you're going: when a toy snaps or gets otherwise demolished... TF DEATH!  
But I agree that a "war" should be treated with more reverence and respect than the silly Autobot/Decepticon conflict. No one is allowed to die because everyone is TM'ed and valuable. Makes me appreciate how much better MANGAS can be: they have a beginning and end, and characters die all the time.

Good point.

Remember killing Ocelot in MGS3?
"SNAKE!!! SNAKE!!! YOU CREATED A TIME PARADOX!!!!"   Best game over screen of all time.

Just like an ugly, fat wife is better than no wife? I mean, dude, raise your standards a little. You can't be so depressed as to think that crap is better than nothing. Just. Don't. Use. That. Argument. Again. Bro.  

No, I'm not offended; I'm sorry if my reply seemed a little aggressive. I didn't mean to sound offended or rude!   Thank you for the well-spoken clarification: I agree with a lot of your points. I can even agree to your tastes in games (but you can imagine my confusion to hear you talk positively about a genre you don't care for). Ahhhh, I guess you're saying your TF fandom overcomes even "bad" genres?
Incidentally, I HATED the Project X Zone demo's! Ironically enough, I thought that game felt more tedious than any SRPG I've played!   Something about mashing buttons during fights... the game melds the fighter genre with RPGs, and I don't think it works that well at all. But it's not the first game to have that combat system... I vaguely remember a similar game with a red cowboy main star, and a green haired party member...
Anyway, WayForward is kind of meh, IMO. Mighty Switch Force lacked story and purpose, despite the fun gameplay, for example. I'd expect something similar here: decent story, crap gameplay; great gameplay, crap story/purpose. Just feels like their games are missing something, despite being correct in a technical sense.  

 

...I may just be dealing the mental scars of losing my X-Brawn and Armada Red Alert figures...Sniffle.

Ahem. In the comics, since you don't read them (Which is totally fine, your choice, I think you should consider since they quite good, but again, totally fine), in Last Stand of the Wreckers, most of the main heroes are dead by the end of the story, killed by the brutal Decepticons, while at least one is left ambiguous. I was hoping for that, but in a slightly bigger scale.

To put it into a manga perspective....

I want characters to die like they do in Attack on Titan.

I want Optimus to make friends with a bunch of cool, nice Autobots...and one by one they start dying off horribly by the Cons.

Is that too much to ask?  

 

Optimus Prime AOE: Who Are You?
Optimus Prime FOC: I Am You.
Optimus Prime AOE: ?

 

So far looking pretty good. I hope they continue with a good Multiplayer like the last few games. Can't wait and only four months out it will come quick. 40 playable characters this time and individual paths. I hope that means classless as far as weapons and moves. Individual customized for each character would be bad ass.

 

Yeah. Imagine Lockdown's gun face with Drift's Alt mode/body, optimus prime's legs, bumblebee's arms, and galvatron's big blaster thingy. Oh, and if possible, Crosshair's trench coat.

 

Drooling.
