Cel-Shaded Brawler Transformers Devastation Leaked

Yeah it looks like it's the same engine, and same crappy environments (Low detail buildings).
Sadly this is a more likely scenario. Which is a shame because I would love a G1 Transformers game with the kind of explosive set pieces the bigger budget Platinum games have. Heck, TW101's final boss
is basically Unicron

I would not be surprised if this was Platinum's game. It looks great visually.

Even though I'm not big on Transformers and if this isn't PG* I'm still interested it looks nice.
I disagree, but there you go.

Wow, that looks pretty awesome! If it was by Platinum, what a surprise it would be and that basically means the combat is gonna be f'in awesome!

Honestly, at this point I'm actually going to be disappointed if this isn't actually Platinum's new game.
Everyone is jumping to platinum but to me it looks like a musou game

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I dunno, nothing about the leaked shots scream "large scale battles", which I assume they'd want to if it were a musou.
Shots like this:
Look almost exactly like a scene from Revengeance. Enemy types and everything.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think this is Platinum

Would it hurt if they toned down the shinyness a little bit? It looks great but they don't need to look like they are polished to a mirror finish.

I liked the mechanics and visuals in the Korra game, which was enough for me. Return of mid-tier games is a good thing, IMO.
Looks awesome.

I have one of those stiffies I keep hearing about.
I wouldn't call the combat great. It's pretty much "Platinum light"... And it ends up being too simple for my tastes. You also don't have a large variety of enemies (and they aren't particularly exciting to begin with), the pacing is uneven, the story is extremely forgettable and the level design just screams "budget". The Naga parts are downright terrible too (and you have a couple of them).
I played through it once and was completely done with it. This never happened with any other Platinum game I played (and I played most of them — apart from Anarchy Reigns, MadWorld and Infinite Space). I love all their other games to varying degrees (8-9.5/10 if I were to quantify "loving"), but this game is just... not very good (5 or 6/10).
I was excited for that game before it came out and bought it day 1 but it was a real disappointment.
That slash arc reminds me of the Murasama's slash arc in MGR, too.I dunno, nothing about the leaked shots scream "large scale battles", which I assume they'd want to if it were a musou.

Also, is that bot in the background friend or foe? The red and white one.

Tears of joy? It would be potentially the first Transformers game that didn't suck.
And in the Decepticon campaign, you fight Omega Surpreme.
It's Sideswipe, so friendly.

Mind, not keen on the cut and paste Decepti-creeps.
What? War for Cybertron certainly didn't suck.

This being a Platinum Games project is plausible given Activision published The Legend of Korra. Also that team would need another project presumably.
Yup, looks like the better looking intro art for G1. Whatever it is I'm buying it if only just to look at dope Transformers graphics.

I liked Transformers on PS2 (Armada) and War for Cybertron was pretty fun.
Damn this looks awesome.

there's bound to be a ton of trash mobs in between the interesting set pieces, that's just how brawlers work.

Except for the terribly repetitive gameplay and boring levels yeah. It was fantastic. It's almost like it reviewed as well as it did simply because it wasn't as bad as all of the other previous Transformer games. Not because it was good.
Ever play any of the Armored Core games?

Aye I know, just a shame they couldn't piecemeal them together with some randomised parts, just to mix up the individual models.
I'm nitpicking of course. I just love Transformers.

Hot damn, those screens look great, and being G1 makes it look like a dream Transformers game.
I thought for sure Activision was going to axe their Transformers licence at the end of the year after they relegated High Moon Studios to the COD prison camp of development and the latest Transformers game dropped.
The problem with Activision licence games is they tend to just phantom drop their ownership when the property doesn't suit them anymore, then the games permanently disappear from digital storefront.
Just a word of advice, I would recommend picking this up before January 1st 2016.
