Transformers: Fall of Cybertron - Behind the Scenes

Woo! Looks good.

Excellent!

Megatron: "No one leaves without my permission!"

Optimus: "I wasn't asking."

Little exchanges like this, especially with the way the VA's deliver them, are gold to me.

Lol, more gameplay than the "gameplay" trailer.

8/31/2012? What happened to the 28th...or is that the release date for Europe?

I'm a little sad that Fred's back as Megatron I was really hoping that Frank would have been brought on board...

At 0:47 is that a cover system I see...

There was cover in WFC, assuming you used the doors and walls.

I don't mean it quite like that.

What I mean is that he is crouching behind the wall leaning against it and hiding. So it looks like he may be able to pop up and shoot and go back down effectively still "stuck" to the wall. So is there a button on the controller that will make you take cover behind the walls.

I know its cliffjumpers stealth sequence but if this is used in the game when there's no stealth required I will dislike High Moon for it.

I hate cover systems

I just hope that they still allow Triangle to be used for Transforming. I hated L3 for Transforming. In the heat of battle it was too easy to accidentally transform.

So true. THAT was the one control I hated about WFC. It happened to me more times than I can count--screwed up many moments of play

Still don't understand why you'd give a NON Stealthy personality like Cliffjumper invisibillity and stealth missions that are TOTALLY out of character for how he's traditionally portraied, when you could have just used Mirage, who ALREADY has invisibillity and is a perfect match for stealth missions as a spy.

-ZacWilliam, it's just a really weird choice...

lol you get used to not pushing to hard eventually. lol.........eventually......

Looks great.
Aside from the lack of co-op, and no Dinobots in multiplayer I have nothing but good thoughts from what I've seen.

Apparently Vortex has two aerial modes -that was neat to see.

I was wishing they got Frank Welker to play Megatron, but I forgot how much I liked Fred Tatasciore's Megatron.

Well on the PS3 and 360 you could change it accordingly. But I triple-dipped on the PC and I had to download a remapping program, because the game didn't allow you to swap that button.

Holy shit on a fruit cake!

Great find, that vid is insane. That little conversation between OP and Megatron is gonna be a total golden moment in the game. Just hope that sword-fight that follows isn't the final boss. But wait, if the game is going to show the Ark going through the wormhole and eventually ending up on Earth, then is there going to be a third one? I think what they should do is go into that scene in the begining, THEN show us the events that led up to it. Unless that's what's gonna happen... I still want it as a trilogy.

That's actually what they're doing. In the GameInformer article, it is said that FoC begins at its end, with you playing as Bumblebee defending the Ark from breaching Decepticons.

Was that Vortex being a triple changer?
Looked like a jet and a helecopter mode to me

Wow..if its half as good as WFC mutiplayer ill have no life when this comes out.

This got me more pumped that the last trailer.

"No-one leaves without my permission."
"I wasn't asking."

OH NO HE DIDN'T!'

at 47 seconds in directly to the left of the guys head. Whats up with that robot design? Kind of looks like an insecticon or a type of insect with the airachnid esq legs on his back.

i find this absurd. cover is awesome. it helps you not get killed n stuff.

i was disappointed that we DIDNT have cover in the first game [especially since the trailer showed them using transformable cover and all that]

so if it happens, i'm happy.

I need this now

no man, it takes away the skill of you actually hiding behind cover instead of just pressing a button and sticking to a wall so you can't be hit. It drags out the gunfights to long. This should be fast paced not pop up, shoot, kill, pop down, repeat...

Dear High Moon Studios,
First off, thank you. I haven't even finished the first game, and i'm a fan. You truly seem to want to make a good game, and I think you have succeeded.

But now that you have two Cybertron games "under your belt" Please, PLEASE, release a book of art work. I see those giant boards of characters behind you, and I want closer looks. I know that probably isn't something you have done before, but I have a hard time believing fans wouldn't want to check that out. Throw in some comments about what you were thinking with some designs, and I think you are golden. I'm not expecting something as geeky and to the level as the Allspark Almanacs (but feel free to check those out, I think they are the best transformer books out there) just something with "pretty pictures" will be fine by me.
Thank you.

Randy!

Insecticon character...boss?

Thats what I was thinking. Maybe one of the big 3.

The huge claws above its head make me think it's Shrapnel/Sharpshot.

Rather see it as someone equally awesome and less used. Chop Shop would ROCK. The design is all wrong but I'd love to see Venom too.


-ZacWilliam, loves the show trio, but would love to see it mixed up too.

Way cool.

So who thinks that Vortex's level -> Bruticus' level?

^
This.

Their concept art and designs for both games have been AMAZING. Every time we see design art or battle sceens or any concept work it makes my heart break at the coolness.

-ZacWilliam, PLEASE a large size hardcover coffe table book of their art would be MUST OWN.

yeah peter is a bad-ass

This game looks SOOO much better than WFC. Honestly, this looks 10 times better at least.

And i LIKED WFC.

*yawn* Bruticus. I'm so tired of seeing them gush over that meathead. His combination sequence is so lame.

I'm more interested in Cliffjumper's stealth mission.

why did I like this trailer SO much more than the 'gameplay' one? this game will be epic. still not sold on prime's head, but who cares?! if anyone says that's a dealbreaker, they're on the wrong side of the blaster to champion that

THIS.

I can't tell you how many times that the game has forced me into vehicle mode at the exact second you press the ability button.

+40 for keeping Megatron's VO.

I really hated that almost unrendered look when Prime said "Leave. Now."

I can't wait to play Scream.

I point that out months ago on a different interview with that same guy, and NOW you talk about who it is?

Triple post incoming....lol

The games looking awesome atm. I wonder when the multiplayer trailer will be released?

It's a style choice.
Personally I have always preferred 'stop and pop' to 'run and gun'.

It seems to me that this game may have both.
In bot mod you jump behind cover and peer out and shoot.

In vehicle mode you zoom around as fast as you can and shoot.

I can't wait to knock heads online in this I may play wfc tonight now lol

My fingers are itching for some MP too.

Speaking of which, I really wonder when we are gonna get a peek at the MP for this game. I really want to see the customization options.

Honestly though, this game is going to blow the last game out of the water. WfC was a good base for a Transformers game and now they've made this it's ow.

They're not getting any of my money until they show that they know how to make a multiplayer game.

I tried throwing money at the screen but nothing happened...
So I threw credit cards at it, still nothing...
So I just threw an ATM at it...still nothing.

Anyone know how to get to Fort Knox?

Man, OP's line was the best. Even after hearing it before playing the game, that'll probably be one of my favorite lines ever. OP ain't some puny bot to push around!

Love Perceptor!

Any reveals from the background concept art? I can spot Soundwave and Perceptor clearly.

transformers forever
