I would have to somewhat agree with this. The fact that they its not co-op or a switchable character base means that there is really no replay value. Unless if there is more going to be added, this game might be rental territory. The mechanics and animations do look better, but the environment look a little flat. They should have just called it WFC 1.5 because it looks like a test bed for WFC2. Even the sound library used is borderline identical. I think it will be decent at best, unless if the story is on EPIC status.

 

Wow, the Detroit setting looks exactly like it does in real life. Wonder what the 'cons are gonna do to it. haha  

 

As soon as I saw the gameplay, I knew it was using WfC engine. Seems that Engine might be the one thing we'll be seeing in most TF games from now on.

 

I still can't figure out why you can't switch characters like WFC. That means no team co-op which was really fun in WFC. This must be another division of High Moon.

 

Well, at least all the high-moon developed ones. if they have to put out one new TF game each year the'll necessarily stick to the formula they know works instead of experiment.

Either means the missions are really dependent on specific character abilities or they lacked time to author enough characters to have a different team per mission (which either means more missions or less characters).

 

Bumblebee's level looked silly. You run out into the middle of a field and get blasted from all sides? No thanks. Hopefully I can play all the levels like WFC and take a position behind cover. Looked like Ironhide's level was more like that.

Also, I wonder about the controls for vehicle forms. They aren't going to be floaty maneuverable objects this time around.

 

sideswipe! YES

 

On the contrary, from the way they move in the video they're gonna control exactly like the WfC ones.

 

already the critics are attacking everything they can

 

This game is so much like WFC it's not even funny...Ah well, if it 'aint broke don't fix it.

 

Yeah, the videos have shown that everybody has a hovering mode just like WFC.

RotF controls or bust.

 

Ya know, i'd have to agree. i'm not blown away or even all THAT excited after seeing the gameplay here. looks kinda boring. and i know they're pimping the whole "build a level around a certain character" and while i can *see* how that sounds good, like you mentioned, brings the replay factor down to zero. there's no options anymore. i'm stuck playing as bumblebee for the whole level even when i hate bumblebee or like another character more. i'll suffer through it but it seems more of a hindrance than anything to boast about [and the lack of any online co-op doesnt help too]

but then that all kinda hinges on the story and the set pieces they have planned for the game too. if they do some radical cool stuff [like the Omega Supreme/Trypticon centered levels in WFC] then i just might be surprised!


i'll be getting this day one, no doubts there, but im not really seeing anything new other than different skins [and less options!]

uh...no?

stop trolling. Its perfectly fine to form opinions around something touted as new and awesome when really its almost exactly the same as something from a year or two ago. its not like we're expressing criticism cuz we have some kind of anti-TF video game vendetta or cuz its the "kewl thang bro"

hopefully they're hiding some good surprises but so far it doesnt really seem like anything special


[not that i'm not gonna love it and have a good time playing it! but WFC was a good game. I was hoping they'd take that formula, use it, and EXPAND on it. so far my hopes feel kinda dashed]

 

Word.

Where transformation had an actual purpose in combat.

Reread his post, it's not attacking, he's giving his honest opinion.

 

It kind of looks like a update of the first movie transformers game... but it could just be I'm pissed off that its not coming out on pc... >=|
But it doesn't look as fun as the ROTF game, I use to play it all the time after all, but again.... It could just be those levels were not the best ones...  
Its just feels weird to see Movieverse mix with WFC in some sense.

Also the demo guy annoys me (I am not talking about Sean Miller).... Gamespot turned in to shit a long time ago, but I thought it wasn't that bad.

 

WFC with movies. Awesome. Gonna go preorder today soon.

 

Im sorry if my opinions upset you, but after paying full price for WFC I'm hesitant to do so for another High Moon game that for as little as makes no difference so far is a change of scenery with the co-op removed.

 

You DO know that wasn't the entire level, right?

Not a bad look at the basic gameplay, though the guy interviewing just had to go the "All critics hated RotF" route with those "Don't tell me any of those obnoxious little ones are in this" and "You play as the ones we actually like, right?" comments.

 

Gosh the WFC system sucks, miss the old system with the close-combat-combo attacks

 

Character-specific missions? No thanks.

 

Looks very fun, abit disapointed that you can't pick ur favourite character for each mission. But that wont probably be blocked in my way, i enjoyed the prievous 2 games alot and i think rotf was the best out of the 2 so far. With this new game coming out, i'm super excited! and the fact it is a prologue to the actual movie is a great idea.
