Its Bayonetta with a Transformers skin and I just can't deal with how much that is everything I want in a Transformers video game!

We have the Witch Time. We have the Rakshasa. All I need is Sideswipe flirting with the Decepticons as he dodges the attacks.

 

Honestly, the only thing I could ask for is a multiplayer mode.
Other than that, this is perfect.
PERFECT!

 

I like what I'm seeing. And I appreciate them going out of their way to to give us something many have been asking from the get go, a G1-esque game with the original voices.

I apprecate the games that came before it--if it weren't for them and the movies too, we wouldn't have what we do now--but THIS is what I've been waiting for!

I hope it's successful, and inspires many more Transformers game like it in the future. Even if future games are cell animation, I just want the cleaner G1 look to somehow be represented. HMS designs, while nice, were rather squat with a bunch of moving parts that made them look more like machines than living beings and the movie characters, are just a different type of Transformers.

Anyway, I just want more Transformers games. Glad there's something for everyone

Looks like the game that all G1 fans could ask for, it does look a little basic though. The combo moves remind me of moves from Street Fighter games and Sonic the Hedgehog games with the combo and spinning dash attack. Hopefully we can play as more characters, and hopefully there's multiplayer!!!!!

 

Well said  

 

Glad you can play the whole game as a character of your choosing after level 1.

 

I'll probably have to pick this up since I never purchased Rise of the Dark Spark, but I'm hoping this has Multiplayer. That or at least some type of Co-Op play or something.

 

The game engine sounds awful to me. I'm NOT a fan of Bayonetta/NinjaGaiden.   And WHO actually played Revengeance all the way through?   That game hit the bargain bin so fast, it was silly.

WfC/FoC weren't perfect games, but I feel like their 3rd Person shooting mechanic worked better for the TF franchise than a beat-em-up-with-combos system. For example, when the hell has Optimus landed so many combos with his energon axe? The axe seemed more like a duel weapon, not a smash-Decepticon's-brains-in, normal-attack weapon!  

All that said, there's another looming issue: add-on content. This game sounds half-finished... probably because it will be released half-finished. Wanna play as Decepticons? ADD-ON! Wanna do some multiplayer? ADD-ON! Want to buy the same game in a few months with more stuff included? GOTY EDITION!    

I'll play a demo, if they deem it necessary to release one, but otherwise, it's a total pass for this gamer. I believe the only Autobot that should be punching and slashing THAT much is Grimlock!  

 

Seriously? Not into this.

 

This looks amazing. I don't see how any transformers G1 fan could hate on it

 

Up for preorders on Amazon

 

No pc version to buy on Amazon ? is the PC version only downloadable ? Sorry , these are probably stupid questions, but its been so long since I bought a game ( PS2 game at that )

 

Hmmmmmm...

Well, by far it looks and feels so much better than any prior Transformers game not made by High Moon. The weightlessness, fluidity of movement and agility as well as integrating the transformations in better are all welcome additions as is the cell shading toon look. I imagine I'm going to have a ball being an autobot badass (tho' I'd love to have had the option to play as Megatron in this game, especially given the tone and asthetics involved in this game).

That said, I disagree with the idea that just because HMS designs had more moving parts and mechanical bits showing that they don't seem as alive. They're sentient robots first and foremost and all of that mech reinforced the idea that they're living, breathing robots.

Also, I assume this is more arcade and straightforward so the story probably isn't going to be as engaging as FOC/WFC which is a minus in my book. So I hope to heck that the assumed streamlined story will be made up for with as much sheer arcade-OTT fun packed in as possible.

 

Okay, melee looks fun if over the top, but what isn't over the top regarding the very concept of TF itself? It's nice to get some good melee in for the first time since ROTF (and the brief segments of FOC with Bruticus and Megs/OP).

Still turned off big time by the apparently overly-slavish G1 love, only five playable characters, them being only Autobots, and the lack of multiplayer.

 

Yeah, essentially, if you don't enjoy games like Bayonetta, you almost certainly won't enjoy this game.

If on the other hand you're a Bayonetta fan AND a Transformers fan? Heaven may have just arrived.

 

The head of whatever at Activision doing the translating may be rather good at Japanese, but he seems to stuggle at translating in an interview rather from speed, infomality or being nervous. He is forgetting to tell us what the producer is saying and basically answering the question from his knowledge and not what is being said.

In this and the previous interview it is funny to see how the two Japanese men there are laughing a little at his translation as he struggles with words like "Freedom" and "Inspiration" he just repeats the question in japanese using the english words he forgets.

But the interview and the men got their points across while selling the game well.

I like seeing an American translating for a Japanese rather than bringing a paid Japanese translator... showing a good close relationship between the two companies...
They producer and director didn't have to come out and they showed the confidence in their product.
Well done... getting a good feel for this again.

 

It has no multiplayer

 

Waiting on a transformers movie game with characters like Rampage or Ravage.

 

Bayonetta, which is clearly the basis of this game, is famous for having deceptively complex and in-depth combos that are created through a very well-done and simple control system, I don't think basic needs to be a worry. Sideswipe is based on the Rakshasa weapon of Bayonetta, a lot of the moves are almost identical.

Seriously, guys, Bayonetta is one of the best games ever made and Bayonetta 2 is even better. If you want to get a feel for how this game will be I highly suggest you try them out. You won't be disappointed. Bayonetta knows what a game should be: insane and fun.
