Transformers Fall of Cybertron PC Version Up for Preorder on Steam

Posted on 07-31-2012 at 12:34 PM by Sol Fury under Video Games

Good news, PC owners - you too can now join in on the pre-order party and get in your prepurchases for Transformers Fall of Cybertron on PC through Steam! Today, Steam has added Fall of Cybertron as a preorder, due for release in just three short weeks time like the console versions.

Also, if you are a PC gamer and never got a chance to play the original, more good news, because Steam currently has War for Cybertron on sale with 75% off of the original asking price - so what better way to pass the next three weeks waiting for the new Fall of Cybertron than playing the prequel again?

Interesting to me is the lack of High Moon being mentioned anywhere.

Probably a good sign that Mercenary's doing a somewhat involved port. At least I hope it is.

For any who are interested in getting this game for PC, it is available for pre-order today.

Pre-purchase Transformers

activision promises to support this game, unlike war for cybertron

WFC is also 75% off if anyone still needs to play the campaign!

I never got to play WFC because I do not own a PS3 or X360. But I recently read the PC version is just as good? Can anyone atest to this? If so I might pick it up.

Personally I loved the PC version. Make sure you download the FPS unlock tool otherwise the PC version is capped at 30 fps:

The MP has more cheaters, and less players, and you may lag more than console if your computer isn't mega hyper amazing, but it's the same, save for the lack of DLC.

Just bought WFC. Figured it's about time I played it

I've never ordered from streampowered before, but it looks like you pay them and you download the game? How does that work with a 9gb game? Does it install the game to your hard drive or give you a file you have to burn to DVD?

Great news.

As for WFC, PC version is very good port. Never play it in MP mode, but SP campaign is really good + no bugs.

Well, I was glad it was going to be available for PC gamers, but not like this. Bummer.

robvega214

tan locos.

Mmmmmaybe if it was a 3rd party game...

The Rage

At least we're getting the G1 pack without dealing with GameStop!

xanthax

I hope they add Steam achievements and Steamplay. I thought they already mentioned both but its not on the game's page.

Scaleface

Okay, I downloaded Stream, and just to test it I'm getting the Quake II demo and installing it. It that works, I'll try something more ambitious.

Scaleface

hmmmm. tried Quake II and Quake III demos and they didn't run.

Edit - They worked after a reboot!

B.F.

Quake II may not work on modern PC.
It have some limitations with OpenGL drivers.
Quake2XP or BerserkerQ2 engine mods can help, but I don't know about how it work with demo.

At the beginning of the trailer it says in big writing High Moon, but the info on the side says developer is Mercernary....
