Botcon 2009 Activision Transformers Video Games Panel - Transformers News

I hope good things come out of here.

Love the live coverage feature. Thanks!

What do you mean "you can't play as Devastator?!?!" I am like 99% sure I heard before that you could. Meh. That is a dispointment. Unless he is one of those unlockable characters...but...they came right out and said that he isn't playable, so I don't think so. Humph.

Booo to no playable devastator, i want to step on buildings.

I sent in like 3 questions, lol

There was never any confirmation about playing as Devastator in the first place. It was only a "perhaps....maybe".

There's really only one thing I've been wondering. That's if the multiplayer for the PS2 version of the game is the online-only, or if it's the normal multiplayer that I vastly prefer. Online isn't all bad, but I'd rather be able to sit down in-person with a friend of mine and play a game. I'll probably get the game eventually anyways. Probably later this year when it and the HP-HBP game have gone down in price a little bit.

sounds interesting.

Sigh, none of my questions have been asked.

I would expect a Devastator versus the military/Autobots DLC.
Would be nice thought.

did they elaborate on the similarities between the new PS2 version and the armada game? is it basically the same engine?

is it just me or have both today's panel's not really given us much new info?

praying to god for playable sideswipe...

Man I hope the twins are unlockable and Sideswipe, it'll be pretty weird if they've left out a huge chunk of the new characters from the movie.

You can't play as Devastator.

...

You can't fucking play as Devastator?!

...

Sigh. Oh well. Everything else sounds... pretty good.

Sooooooo...did anyone bother to ask what their "other" transformer game for later in the year they have listed is about?

Hey guys, in the panel, where it says, Coop, players can jump in and out, are they talking about Coop campaign in the PS3 360 version or is this the PS2 version?

Can't wait!! I hope Sideswipe is unlockable.

How about if they put Devastator as playable character in multi-player where it would be possible only if there was one player for each transformer that combines to make Devastator, and then they could merge together and each player would control only his part, making it difficult to control the massive transformer and thus having a better balance for both teams?

I bet the 5 unlockabels are:
Sideswipe
Soundwave
Skids
Mudflap
Fallen

Yeah, cause that totally sounds like it's not gonna be a pain in the ass for the players.

it doesn't have to be multiplayer, just have a special "devy vs everybody" battle royale/horde kinda thing in the bonus material

I'd call it more of a challenge . I think it would be great.

Pound to a pinch of shit that Devs gets a DLC release at some point down the road.

Because it's Activision.

And they want your money.

They didn't really specify if it was 5 TFs total across the whole game, or 5 per campaign side

I suspect it's the latter, since only 5 unlockables would most assuredly leave one side with more choices for multiplayer than the other. And that wouldn't be right.

Hmm good point. Maybe it'll be like this:
Autobots
Sideswipe
Mudflap
Skids
Jetfire
Arcee?

Cons
Soundwave
Fallen
Ravage
2 contructicons?

on the 360 co op mode can you play co op with two players on youre system opposed to online? i am going to freak out if you can. go fan gamemakers

They should have Devastator for Campaign only, since his presence is Multi would be ridiculously overpowering.

People plan on buying this game, we should all exchange PSN ids.

Jump-in-and-play is multiplayer for the PS2 version.

Also, this panel REALLY helped calm any remaining fears I had about the ROTF games. Unlike when Activision first came to Botcon for the first TF Movie game, these guys are REALLY enthusiastic about their game and really seemed to have poured their heart and soul into it as opposed to just towing the company line. I can't wait.

I hear a fair bit about PS3/360 TF. But I want to know about the DS version(s). I know it's technically inferior, but it does feature an improved create a bot. If that's combined with a WiFi multiplayer as I heard roumered.
The DS could provide a surprise treat.

This is just an idea I said before.
Imagine a TransFormers BattleFront game. Like the StarWars Battle fronts.
Like or hate StarWars those games were a joy.
Imagine, there could be a level like the Hoth levels. Only instead of the ATATs someone could pilot a BIG TF like devorstater.
And imagine 16 players either side, Shooting, TransForming and teaming up...
'Sigh' Surely a game like this would be well received and not impossible to assemble?

Well I'm going to play Battlefront2 now and cry lots.

Come my TF brothers and Sisters if we all agree. Maybe some nice programmers might make this a reality?

I'm getting the DS and PS3 version. Don't know when I'll have time to play the DS version. Really looking forward to the multiplayer on PS3. I want to know when DLC will be released.
