Should be up this morning....7-28 he has an update on the blog post.

 

Listening to the podcast now.

 

... and?

 

It's like an hour long... it may take some time to get to the good stuff!

 

Matt Tieger said the colors will stay the same, cause they did all this testing and stuff >.>

 

Here's the link to the podcast (I think) it's at the bottom of the story titled: A Decepticon Apologist

One of Swords Podcast 027: A Decepticon Apologist ? One Of Swords

Edit: the link is correct. Matt speaks from the 31-minute mark.

 

HE ASKED MY FUCKIN QUESTION   AND EVEN SAYD MY NAME  

about zeta prime and dead end , pretty much confirms there will be a dlc 2 with zeta prime and dead end

 

He asked mine too. Hopefully High Moon and Activision will work out a way of offering the DLC pack (and possible future ones) to us PC gamers. Maybe not right now, but at least it's something they're working on, and hopefully will be able to offer soon.

 

Matt states wants again that this game is pre-g1, the CARTOON! 

 

ehh the color questions has a pretty lame response pretty weak if u ask me.... we know who is who based on the name tags or curor colors which is rolled over the character so i could careles if bots colors are similiar on differnt factions.

 

1. Flat out NO! on the more colors question. Color choices will not change "at all".

2. Dead End & Zeta Prime: "Stay tuned to see what we do next"/non answer.

3. A second DLC likely? Depends on sales & feedback. Duh.

4. How do you feel about preorder exclusives, what motivates them? "I don't make the decisions on what character goes where", not up to Tieger, who apologized to anyone who was upset about it.

5. Why didn't more iconic characters get to fight each other? "In the Decepticon campaign, key Autobots don't come onstage until later in the Autobot campaign", most fans played through chonologically, so adding major characters during the Autobot campaign added a feeling of escalating the story. Nutshell: it's a function of the time frame of the game.

6. DLC on PC: It's HM's first PC game. The delivery of DLC content is different on PC, and they are working with Activision on a way to deliver it but running into technical problems.

7. Patches on PC needed to stop hackers, any plans to make them? HM is looking into the matter, but again, the PC market is new to them. They are working toward both a patch and the DLC.

8. Why choose Barricade instead of any of the other Stunticons as a Decepticon scout? First of all, they liked Barricade's design, and second his personality in the Bay films as well as in Cybertron. Third, Stunticons are basically similar, nondescript thugs. "Subtle shades of each other". Tieger wanted differences in personality.

9. Will we get to play as any of the Constructicons? Will we get to play as a Gestalt character? Tieger did not want to spread the game too thin, doing so would take away from each idea, all of which being worthy of proper development. Thus, a narrower focus on the game was necessary. No particular answer on the Constructicons.

10. Is this a G1 game or a prequel to TFP? Tieger expresses some hesitation to make that distinction. In the beginning it was G1 driven, and he feels that TFP is "independent, but in the same continuity". Basically he says "ask Hasbro" about the TFP issue, but in HM's view it was a prequel to G1.

11. Will an online mp patch be released to address host migration? No. Not supported by the game engine.

12. Will there be a double XP weekend again? Yes, plus another game with developers.

13. Will there be sequels/is this a new TF game franchise? "I think we're doing well", obviously this question cannot be definitively answered, but Tieger would like to continue.

 

So was that about it? (thanks for the summary BTW!)
Nothing too exciting, really.

 

11. Will an online mp patch be released to address host migration? No. Not supported by the game engine.

the big issue and they cant do anything about it that really pisses me off!!

 

Thanks for posting a summary.

I don't get the roid rage here. I mean yes it's a nuisance but you don't lose your experience anymore when the host pusses out and at worst you have to wait 45 seconds for a new game to start :shrug

 

welll lets see when almost every game played has this happen exp in games where its 370 380 even 390 - like 50 and the host hast o decide then to leave it gets annoying. almost the fact that on occasion having this happens freezes my game and or others playing games it dosent help.

unreal engine is cool and all but i dont get the point of using somthing if you can implament a host migration system. even a game like Red Faction had somthing like this... thats where the anger comes from!!

its a cheap way to keep your wins above your losses its a cheat really.

 

FTR, I don't know about PS3 but it's not that prevalent on the 360, however there is a small group of PS3 players over at TFINO and they aren't complaining about it so........

 

well then dont complain...
... ive yet to play one day without being disconnected less then 10 times! thats pretty rediculous! on top of lag, game freezing and other bs.
everyone i play with expresses the same frustration. and i know multiple players that have stopped playing the game all together becasue of it.

if its not the lag its the DC because the host is a little kid who cant take a loss! or cant take getting there ass kicked! if you dont like stay the game and then leave after exp if yoru the host of the game.


the whole point of this is that these are things that i dunno wernt ever tested or just fell to the waste side for being such a awsome game these are huge problems that jsut wont get fixed and thast frustrating to allot of players.

 

I play on PS3, and while the host leaving does occur and it is frustrating, it does not occur so often that its worth stressing about.

 

well then i guess this is what happens when u play with top players i dunno...
