rotfl are you serious? There were WAAAY more than just 2 buttons for BOTH games. No the characters DON'T play the same. FoC in particular had so many more features with it's controls.

 

You're forgetting Multiplayer and Escalation were a thing...Another thing this game lacks. and Multiplayer had 5 Dinobots, 3 Insecticons, 4 of the Stunticons, Silverbolt, Air Raid, 2 Optimus Primes, Megatron, Quake, Wheeljack, 5 Combaticons, Starscream, Jetfire, Zeta Prime, Warpath, Demolisher, Scattershot, Cliffjumper, Bee, Ultra Magnus, Hound, Perceptor, Sideswipe, Ironhide, Ratchet, Soundwave, and Shockwave. all of which were able to be customized with color, body parts, voice, and symbols. Customizable loadouts were a thing too.

But please, do go on.  

 

lol, now you know how other people feel about your previous post.

 

But all those things you just rattled off were window dressings and had little to no impact on gameplay. It was all aim and shoot and that was it. Multiplayer was also horribly tacked on and I'd rather they bolstered the single player a lot more.

Platinum's emphasis is on making a challenging game and appeal to the g1 fans, not about playing dress up or selling out with bad multiplayer modes in order to pander to the masses.

 

Its a platinum game. Platinum games have the most in depth multi tiered skill based fighting systems of any third person character action titles in existence.

If you're seeing people spamming the same attacks it is because they suck real bad at the game and don't know how to chain attacks and switch between moves seemlessly and explore the greater depths of the combat system. Which if it is anything like their other games rewards skill in these areas.

These are literally the guys who invented this genre as many of them are ex employees of Capcoms Devil May Cry team. This game could not possibly be in better hands.

 

Well, time to go change my pants

 

Ooooooooo. *brandishes pink handbag*

 

Anyone know if that is Michael Bell's voice?

But either way, I don't know... I'm sure the first play through will be loads of fun but I can't see myself playing it over and over.... It ain't worth the $60 with what we've seen so far but I can see myself picking it up in the future.

 

Seeing as I have over 100 hours on games like Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, El Shaddai, Killer is Dead, Dmc, viewtiful joe, God Hand, Lollipop Chainsaw each I think 60 bucks (even if it's being sold for 50 bucks) will be very much worth it.

 

Okay, having played the demo on the convention floor and talked to one of the developers/reps their about the dynamics of this game, let me say this:

To anyone viewing this as a one dimensional button masher, read the 3 quoted posts above. If you viewed and played Bayonetta as a one dimensional button masher, then stay away from this game; you won't like it. This game's combo system, while maybe(?) not as deep and layered as Bayonetta's, will reward players who play with timing and precision.

My complaint with this game is that it was modeled after Bayonetta and not Vanquish, lol! Oh well, maybe the sequel!

 

Well shit,they just put 2 copies in my house.Showed my son and his first words "Is this on the 360?".I see no reason to get it for my PS3(or anymore games for that matter)and just wait until i get a PS4.

 

Basically, games that are actually fun to play.

 

Wfc and foc were both gow clones that weren't that great as clones. The transformation element didn't really add much to the game IMO.

This one looks great but I'm not liking the gameplay. Such a shame, it should have given you the option the choose whichever fraction you want. Combat isn't bad, but don't like the over the topness bayonetta vibe from it. Same for the slow motion time. Not liking the direction this game is going in honestly.

 

The only negatives I have about this game so far is the fact that you can only select 5 autobots and no decepticons.Going with cel shaded graphics was a genius move,this game looks absolutely beautiful.

 

Michael Bell was confirmed as coming back to give his voice for the game

 

this^^


as of now the only issue I take with this game is lack of roster....which if activision is involved will be rectified with DLC..hell wouldn't surprise me if its in game locked from the get go.. :/

 

Game looks good but way the way it plays looks like a Dragon Ball Z game and not a Transformers game with the super flashy attacks. They didn't battle like this in G1.

 

And you think G1 fighting would make for a fun game?

It undoubtedly will be. There's very little chance that it won't be far, far better then any of Transformers other offerings; Platinum Games make amazing, fun games and this game is based on Bayonetta, which is one of, if not the, funnest game franchises ever.

I mean, if you seriously think this looks worse then Armada, WFC or FOC... Well... I guess we all have opinions, but that's silly.
