A flying gun, you mean an A-10 Warhog

 

I know there's been leaks for the cast already, but I really hope more characters are planned to be in the game at launch, cause in this apocalypse the game is setting up, and with the modified alt modes out of a mad max movie, you know who would work amazingly in this game? Those war time styled transformers, those who look specifically like they were made for war, like Roadbuster or idk WARPATH

 

Can you link me a source confirming it’s in 1st person? I’m genuinely wondering if it’s confirmed because I haven’t seen anything stating that.

 

I can answer some of these.

1. When Certain Affinity was leading development their creative lead noted they had worked with Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Jeffrey Combs, Steve Blum and David Sorborov, I may have spelled that last name wrong. Anyway, the general assumption is that Splash Damage kept most of not all of the cast that CA acquired.

2. Again, Certain Affinity used mixed media for in game cinematics. There was a combination of full fledged cinematics, and the more common “motion comic” cinematics. The leaked cutscenes were the final versions at that point in time.

3. Those vehicles match very closely to designs that Certain Affinity had so I would say it is certain that Splash Damage is using a significant amount of what CA built.

As an aside, I wouldn’t hang on the FPS perspective too much. Certain Affinity designed a third person game in the vein of FOC, if anyone wants a comparison. Splash Damage was also hiring for a licensed AAA third person shooter. I do believe that Reactivate is still a third person game.

 

Yes.

 

Welp, I\'m excited. Loving these designs.

 

If they cannot even do cutscenes with the in-game animation, that is not a good sign. Budget titles from small developers like Paradox do cutscenes like these with non-moving artwork...
That aside I like the plot, Starscream plotting even as both sides unite against these monsters is interesting, and I like Shockwave\'s design.

 

Yeah I prefer when they look different, BUT priority is they sound right.

To be honest, aside from Ratchets voice and hopefully Ironhide having his tough grizzled US southern voice, I'm very happy with what I see so far.

 

Considering he had tank threads on his back in the cutscenes, you can guess he is a tank here.
I never thought the flying gun was unrealistic. He was basically a cybertronian gunship, with a super powerful main cannon. And he never cared about disguise when he came to Earth since he was pretty unsubtle about his plans of conquest. (And in the cartoon, he NEVER came to Earth at all). So him keeping that alt mode makes sense.

Thanks for the info! I wish they had made that game. It will not feel the same playing a Transformers game in the first person, especially when driving a vehicle mode.

 

I'd want Megatron as a gun if he was one of the in-game weapons, stuck in Gun mode, and he complains and vows revenge at you the entire time you're using him.

 

... Like Potato GlaDOS.  

 

I do dig the designs. Yep, that\'s the comment. 

 

That Bumblebee looks awesome. Offroad VW Beetle.

 

Optimus and Megatron look very decent. Bumblebee looks fucking atrocious. It offends my fucking eyes.

 

I feel like that could be a placeholder voice (or meant for Ironhide but that day he doubled for Ratchet) since it seems Jeffery Combs (Prime Ratchet) is casted for the game.

 

I totally understand people not being on-board with Bee, but I kinda dig it... The thinner proportions just remind me of Animated Bee.

Though something to note: clearly his hands / arms aren't the same one we see in the trailer, so it's very possible his final design will look more appealing to you? Possibly.

 

For me its how skinny his thighs are.

 

Possibly has potential, but proof is in the gameplay. I’m not keen on Ratchet being voiced by Ironhide, though.

 

For those just now finding the cutscenes I want to point out a few things,

These cutscenes are from when Certain Affinity was the main dev, and with that said, has a decent chance of not being in the game, or at least have been modified in some way. From what we have seen so far, yes Splash Damage is using a good deal of stuff from Certain Affinity, but I think is changing more stuff than we think, so these may or may not be current or even in the game still.

As far as this being an in engine cutscene, we don't have an answer yet. I fully imagine they will 100% have in engine cutscenes, and the only reason this won't be in engine is because they want to have more of a book telling design for introducing the past backstory of characters you can play as, kinda like an introduction. Again, may or may not have changed.

This game is still not confirmed to be 1st or 3rd person, so we will have to wait and see on that.

The reason the cutscene may look unfinished is well because it might have not been. The cutscene is around 2020 or so, just right before they gave the game over to Splash Damage.

 

Thought I was having a fever dream when I realized it was a Bon Jovi song, ill wait for gameplay to make a real judgement but the premise sounds cool at least.
