yeah i don't know why they even thought that was a good idea, they should have just immediately started production on the 3rd Transformers game (something that was guaranteed to sell) an MAYBE they company would still be doing ok. or maybe the Deadpool game would have been better (sold better at least) if they had, you know, actually waited for the movie to come out.

 

I'm pretty sure Deadpool was made well before the movie came out. And as for why it came out before a third possible TF game, they may have just wanted a break from Transformers. They'd already made WFC, DOTM, and FOC, so maybe they just wanted to do something new and spice up their portfolio.

 

High Moon's working on Destiny 2 what are you talking about? CoD is being handled by Tryarch and Infinity Ward. Though I do agree that its more than likely that High Moon is so dissolved into Activision's shitty money-making machine that their logo won't appear under Destiny 2 because Bungie's doing everything else with the name. Platinum Games on the other hand has gotten bigger over the years following past successes and with Scalebound cancelled (RIP) there's one slot open for a possible Devastation 2. Even Activision, who handed the project to Platinum in the first place, wouldn't leave us on a cliffhanger if it meant that they can cash-in on that nostalgia money.

 

High Moon if I'm not mistaken have worked on maps or something COD related. Just like Raven software has(They made Singularity, great game by the way). Yes they have their main three studios that handle the individual series releases, but they will farm out side work to Highmoon, Raven Software etc that are under the Activision umbrella of studios.

As to Devastation: I'd like to see a sequel just to continue the Nova Prime stuff, but I want to see actual sales figures and see if they amount to enough for Activision/Hasbro to green light a sequel. I can't seem to find anything concrete to a sequel happening. It seemed more of a vehicle to market Combiner Wars.

It did come out the year 2015 the year of nostalgia flicks. Mad Max(eh maybe nostalgic) Jurassic World, Star Wars: The Farce Engorges Ma-Rey Sue Strikes Back. I feel like I'm forgetting something of another nostalgia cash grab that year.

Here's a link: High Moon Studios | Home and see what the first game that pops up is. Has a rotating image gimmick on their site. So I wasn't exactly off on my information, just a little outdated with it.

 

Transformers: Devaswitchion?

 

I'm looking forward to the inclusion of BW characters. It's about time we get modern 3D models of these characters!

The PSX games just.....never looked good.

 

Crikey, I remember that first Beast Wars game on ps1 and how terrible I was at it. Can't even judge if it was good or difficult or what from memory. All I know is I had a lot of trouble completing missions and never finished it. Still found it cool to play as my favourite characters and transform at will though. That was enough to keep childhood me happy. I'll probably check this new game out just to see what BW characters are included.
