Revenge Of The Fallen Video Game Impressions

Looks slightly better than the old game, but it's worrying that Starscream and Bumblebee are the in EXACT same poses in several pictures. That implies that the animation is pretty crappy, or that you will see the same poses all the time.

Why does Bumblebee's weapon look like a smaller representation of that space bridge thing we saw earlier today to me?

Maybe... but then again they're only promo shots.

Who is the robot with purple colour? Jolt?

I doubt it's Jolt, looks nothing like a Chevvy Volt to me

A new Drone maybe? Or another new in-movie bot.

Nice. But then so were the shots for the last game, and look how that turned out.

Sigh...

Can you please put a link to where these came from?

EDIT:

I will say this. Those shots are a big improvement over the first batch we've gotten. The models seem to show a lot more detail. My main graphical gripe from the first one is still there though. The environments looks lifeless and uninhabited.

It's all about crappy timed missions for me. If they can do away with those and balance the game a bit more, then I'll support it, especially if the online game is even half-decent. I've ALWAYS wanted to play a TF game online with people, but I wish you could somehow design your own character and vehicle, even if the transformation sequences weren't logical.

Wow the aircraft carrier battle with starscream looks nice. Until I saw the jaggies from the ship's deck I was assumeing this was a snapshot of a prerendered starscream for a cutscene. The battles are going to be huge. No more battle containment circle!

-bumblebee's axe makes sense do to vary the first game's focus on melee combat.

-Hasbro needs to make those missle carrier drones into toys. I want to troop build them right now.

here is their impressions here if not news disreguared

Joystiq impressions: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

It actually looks like they held a gamer conference where all the sites could mess with the game.

Kotaku - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ? Double Feature - Screens

They did one for the TF fan sites last time. Wonder if they will do the same this time around.

atleast they say it will be different

Timed missions again. Ugh.

What's the article say it's blocked at my work.

Yeah right. Like the last game.

Total waste of money.

Can't they make it like the Armada game? That was soooooo good!!

Added the IGN preview link.

they were wrong about Sideways in the article they say Sideways is the one who hunted down Decepticons in their play through of it. They still said it was the Audi R8 but they must have been wrong about the Autobot/Decepticon deal. Oh well nothing big

Tformers it seems got to go looking at their news (I wont link in case I get banzorz)

I like the sounds of everything so far... apart from the Taxi mission

Well, it sounds like it'll be good. I'll be buying the game regardless, but I really hope it's a big improvement over the first one.

What do the other articles say? I'm blocked at work

Dammit, timed missions AGAIN.

Yep, it'll suck.

neat

i know i'll play it

Apparently Sideways serves as a sort of sniper in a recent Kotaku article I read. The author got to view a demo and mentioned:

"The demo master showed off a new Deception called Sideways that takes the form of an Audi R8 when he's not a sniper robot. In one smooth motion, Sideways sped down a street in car-mode, transformed, shot down a helicopter, vaulted part of a building, and then popped back into car-mode to drive off down a different street two blocks over."

So I guess he's going to be a good shot at least, right?

So can any of you guys mirror all the Kotaku pics? I can't see 'em.

On the plus side the DS versions look almost exactly the same as the previous ones, which IMO is a good thing, since I enjoyed them both. Way more than the main console version.

it has live co op. how could it suk agian?

Looking at the new screens from Kotaku, I was about to slam it for looking like a PS2 game graphically. I'll hold off for now as it seems those are from the Wii version.

The return of timed missions makes me believe it wont be more than a rent for me.

Eh i am still going to get the game esp if we get to play online

I need an X360. >.<

I'm pumped. It sounds so much better than the first one (which I actually liked). Having timed missions sucks, though. Is there like a free roam mode where you can then pick missions to do? Or do you never get to stop and smell the roses because it's always timed?

Can anyone post pics here? My work blocks the site. What's it say about the DS versions?

Hell yeah! Who do you think the red bot is? It looks like a homage to G1 Powerglide

Already posted the pics in another thread

Maybe a repaint of the Universe mold into the movie line.

Suprise, Suprise...

Starscream is flying. In robot mode. While shooting. ZOMG.

Bumblebee has an Energon axe?

He does now, apparently.

At least it sound some of the things from the first game were addressed. Being able to jump and transform at the same time was something that is definitely welcomed. None of the reports mentioned anything about enemy shields or useless weapons, and performing combos sound like it will be hella fun.

The Bad. Time missions....again. Babysit and defend Sam for mission? Please.
These types of missions are just antiquated. They really need to try to be a bit more creative with these levels.

Multiplayer from the sound of it with the improvements should be a damn good time.

Is anyone else quite taken aback at how amazingly poor the Wii version looks compared to 360/PS3?

The wii version looks horrible

when they say multiplayer.... does that mean multiplayer just online or actually getting two controllers with your friends and killing eachother??

it actually sounds like a pretty awesome game... although the timed missions suck, it has some more good things that back it up... im soo gonna get it

I didn't get the first game because I heard it sucks, but I'm thinking about buying this game because I heard that it will have online multiplayer game mode. Being able to fight other players as Transformers is something that should be alot of fun.

Bumblebee had an axe in the first game, it popped out of his arm during his melee combo, but this one looks much better.

We need to exchange game IDs with everyone on these boards getting this game. I'm getting it for PS3, ID is Enop80

Judging from what I read on the official site...

PS3 & 360 = Online Multiplayer only.

PS2 & Wii = Offline Multiplayer only.

DS & PSP = ? Unknown ?

Crud can anyone post pics, I'm stuck at work.
