I love it. The music is so emotional. I can actually feel pain and suffering. I love this trailer.

So its just the non gameplay CGI trailer.

What a shitty way to show off your game.
Demonss
I've heard this song somewhere before..
Where have I heard it? Another movie trailer?

Anyone know what it's called?

*edit*
AHA! I figured out where I heard it before! AN AWESOME mass effect 3 tribute video someone made! I'll add the link but spoilers within if you haven't played the game

The Song is called "The Way" by Zack Hemsey

The video I first heard it:

Why do they need to keep showing off gameplay? They showed us alot of gameplay and you can play a demo.
What more do you want?

Cool trailer, they really combined the CGI scenes well.

Yeah... I thought most game companies show cinematic type trailers like this vs gameplay trailers..

Definitely play the demo if you want to mess with gameplay...

Because the demo doesn't show you everything about the game. Showing off what your game offers in a launch trailer is sort of expected. I'm not buying a movie. On top of that its the same CGI we've seen before with dramatic music acting like its dramatic.

Also PC players got screwed out of the demo.

Why would you want the demo to show you everything about the game?
IF it did that.. why play it?

The demo shows what gameplay is like and things you can expect.. I wouldn't expect it to show you everything that the game has up it's sleeve..

Otherwise.. it's like a movie trailer to a comedy movie that shows all the funny parts in the trailer..
Rarely do you ever leave feeling satisfied when that occurs..

Not like that. More like showing off its different modes for multiplayer, some character customizing, some singleplayer, some escalation, and bridging it all together to show you the complete package the game offers.

Going full CGI makes you worry the game doesn't stand on its own merit. Its a common tactic in the industry.

Is this the launch trailer they were talking about? I was expecting something new.

P.s. I think the music in this is from mass effect

It sucks you missed out on the demo but that shows off pretty well the customizing, some single player. No escalation, but we know it's there and if you played the first, I'd expect it to be the same if not better.

I'm quite ok with launch trailers being full CGI things to excite you for the upcoming game.

To each their own though.

Will the PC players be getting a demo? Know anyone with an xbox or ps3 that you can hang out with for a few hours to sample what the game offers?

It is not.
It's from a mass effect tribute video someone did and used it. But it is not a mass effect song. Though that was the very first thing that popped in my mind as it sounds very much like an ME song.

Oh God that music sucked so bad. Stop trying to make Transformers deep and soulful. It's giant rainbow-coloured robots fighting a made-up war in space.

Jeez, remember when Transformers used to be fun? Before the only way you could be taken seriously is if you showed how harsh and painful war is? Because we didn't know that before. I miss the wit and upbeat tone. Everything today needs to be so depressing. It's boring.

FWIW (we all have opinions and yours is certainly valid, this is mine) I liked the music (though I liked it better in a different context I saw previously better) but I find transformers more interesting when there's more grit to it.

G1 is still fun, but the deeper story appeals to me who's 28 years older than when I first started watching the show.

I still appreciate the giant rainbow-colored robots fighting an imaginary war. But I can equally appreciate some attempt to add depth.

The harsh and painful stuff you're talking about is just for the trailers and stuff just to attract the creepy Dark Knight fanboys.
The game itself obviously is upbeat and witty. You can tell just by the dialogue.

And us who don't want TFs to be a watered-down version of The Dark Knight are left out in the cold?

That's nice, but I'm not talking about G1. Just because I don't like one extreme doesn't mean I want the complete oppositte. I'm thinking more like Animated or Beast Wars where is was fun and colourful but still serious with depth and emotion.

Everything today is so depressing and melodramatic.
MindChamber
I love the chances they take with music. Even though its the same cinematic we've seen before, the choice of music really pays off in this trailer. We all know the battle, and this war, I dont think Ive felt or emphasized with the notion of their pain of that war as well as this trailer conveyed.

bravo.

Again an opinion.
I don't think it's a watered-down dark knight.. Nor are you left in the cold.
It's a matter of personal opinions and taste.
Just like some people can't stand animated (no I'm not one of them) because it doesn't fit with their tastes.

Unfortuantely (or maybe fortuantely as it's what makes us all different) is something that appeals to one person doesn't appeal to others. That's just life.

That's EXACTLY what it is! What, did you have your TV muted when you played Vortex's level?

meh. we had 20 years of corniness, (which I loved) and the last 5 years of movies full of hump jokes, masturbation and spitting transformers..

I think Im ready for a little grit in my coffee. Aside from the 1986 movie, I dont think transformers ever had a chance to be melodramatic. And judging from the gameplay, the melodrama seems to be kept to a minium. so really I dont see what the fuss is. If some of us get a few solemn trailers.. so be it, I enjoy them.

that gave me goosebumps

You summed up my feelings exactly.

Here's a 30 second spot to go along with the 90 second spot

This trailer is extremely well made. I loved it. The music is perfect.

I like the music but it doesn't fit the game. The second trailer we saw had an awesome rock song. Why make a non-deep game deep ? Also, why doesn't any of the critics read the friggin' comics ? That's the Transformers we were waiting for, not watered down Dreamwave.

The trailer was good until they threw in Grimlock for no reason other than the fact that they could.

It was emotional and then it made me scream "You better make an Earth-based game!" after I saw the "decided our fate part". Then we have space t-rex.

This feeling of "why do this!?" is justified by it being in two trailers/spots in a row. It was fine in the spot but personally I felt there was no need for it in the trailer.

What we need is a trailer with "Prelude" in it (the track from the DotM trailer).

This probably doesn't need to be front page news now that the videos are removed.

That music is amazing! I know we're all looking forward to the art book (myself included), but am I the only one who wants a soundtrack album? With the songs from the three trailers ("Humbling River", "Cities in Dust", and this one "The Way"), as well as the music that plays in the background in-game?
Starfire22
Wow, the music did not fit the trailer at all.

Then go watch Rescue Bots, pick up the TF: Prime or Animated games, or read MTMTE. The rest of us will have fun with this game and some material that's a little darker than the rest.

There are individual trailers for some of the other modes. A single trailer that shows off everything would either be too long for a trailer, or would showcase each mode for too short a time.

That's why I ignore him. He's just doing things to get a reaction out of people. As long you enjoy the game who cares what Split has to say.
