Just got the new Game informer Today and Didn't think much till I looked at the top corner.
"Transformers: War For Cybertron, A six page exclusive review. PG 48" And Holy hell we are getting a new TF game! Sad part is it's not tied to any continuity. As the name suggests it's pretty much War Within but the Video Games on telling it seems. It's taking cues from Gears of war as a 3rd Person over the shoulder shooter. Will have a Autobot and Decepticon Campaign. They keeping quiet on Multiplayer but it will have some sort of Online modes. Like the Armada game you will be able to choose which bot you want for a mission but the other bots not chosen will be your teams AI. Enemies will drop weapons which is interchangeable. And like the movie games we won't be confined to land vehicles only. And transforming plays a good deal into gameplay. Not a lot of vehicle mode pics, about the only one is Megatrons which has him as a less pointy version of Animateds Cybertron mode though he looks more tankish than flight capable. Most bots seem a mix between G1 and War Within with a few more influences here and there. Prime looks like they took the War Within model and just added his normal dual windows, Megatron is a more angular version of Classics (Gun) robot mode. I see an Ironhide which looks very slimmed down almost like a red Kup. I see a bot that I'm guessing is Blitzwing (closely based on his Animated form) holding a giant spiked mace weapon. Soundwave is ... well Soundwave. Like every other Con in here he is a tad sharp around the edges but He retains his classic head, chest and shoulder weapon. Another Bot is shown fighting Prime (who is holding a giant dual bladed axe) in what looks like a CR facility or holding cells in the background) All in all it looks pretty sweet. Release is for 2010 for 360, PS3, and PC -------------------- |

QUOTE(Remilia Scarlet @ Dec 8 2009, 04:50 PM)  Scans please! gb2 /r/ Obligatory, sorry. Kind of curious how they got a game with no major media tie-in off the ground, but good for the fans, so long as it plays well.

I am interested yet skeptical. This concept sounds amazing, but I will wait to see the execution before making judgment.
I'm hoping for spacious environments and maybe some Ultra Magnus.(even as an alternate skin for Prime) -------------------- I may be lying

Google isn't bringing up ANYTHING about the game. No press release, no development announcements, nothing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-screamer.gif)

High Moon Studios, responsible for...two games.
But apparently they were pretty good shooters, so all is not lost just yet! -------------------- Don't worry, it's fine as long as you don't get hit. |

Hmmm, a brand new Transformers title, taking cues from various franchises, with some redesigning....
Maybe this is the new Transformers theme for next fall? We don't have another movie on tap for at least a year, no cartoon has been announced, and Halo has done pretty well with its toy tie in. Not only would a high profile game help toy sales, but Activision is basically going to get a good 6-8 months of free publicity for its action game title. Y'know, that unknown grey proto from a few months back DID look quite Cybertronian.... Edit: Just saw Optimus....HOLY JIVE!! Tell me that does NOT look like the grey proto from a few weeks ago!
