Freedom Force + MGR:R?
Edited: Edited back in. Not a double post. Phone being double dumb?
Only the second one I think, on PS2. Don't remember too much about it except that I had a blast. I enjoyed the hell out of War for Cybertron and I haven't played any of the other Transformers games (aside from maybe renting the beast wars game once) so it wasn't an OH MY GOD IT'S NOT COMPLETE crap kind of experience for me. Sorry you didn't enjoy it, but it does seem like generally most people did.
I hope you enjoy this one more. This franchise deserves quality games.

Amazing art style. Only little hitch is the top of the centre-right building.
As someone who dug the game and got all the acheivements, I felt like it could have used more enemy variety. Pretty good game though considering it probably had a shoestring budget based on some of activisions other licensed games
This thread made me wanna watch the movie. Did a search on Netflix and it's there no more

Don't see a reason to be disappointed over fucking Platinum making a fucking Transformers game! That's hype!
The artstyle looks striking as well, I can't wait to see it in motion.

In Bayonetta, W101 and Korra you can double-tap the dodge button to have your character transform into a fast-movement mode. Bayo turned into a panther, the 100 turned into a ball, Korra summoned the air scooter from the show (actually had different ones depending on which element she was using). Transforming into a truck would be the perfect thing for this game.

Im sorry there are only three of you. Clobbering less than four Decepticons at a time is boring.
Dinobots, destroy Devastator!

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.
Oh, good.
Look at the guy on the left?
Remember the soldier grunts on Rising?
Remember how the move to the sides?
It looks like the same animation.
Edit: Beaten? Damn you.

Ahhh, I see. Thanks for the info. And considering that and the similarities to MGR people have pointed out I must say that it does seem to be more than
If it is a G1 Platinum Transformers game then... day one for me.

Me Grimlock love challenge.
That is great to hear! Although I'm still a bit worried there won't be any transforming.
They can't possibly have the rights to all those licensed vehicles. G1 transformers turned into real world vehicles. For instance, the red and white transformer in these shots turns into a Lamborghini, do they have the cash to license that brand?
It was only post G1 movie that they started inventing vehicles so that they wouldn't have to pay licensing fees.

For a PC port, sure, but 1080p/60FPS locked would be fine on the consoles.

I thought there was a fine amount for how short it was. I mean it's like a 5-6 hour game at most and has more enemy variety than most non-platinum character action games. There was the enemy grunt dudes, robots, demon things, and enemy benders that use the same magic as you. And all those had their own variations within those groups.
It also had a pretty solid final boss fight. Game gets too much hate just because it didn't have any spectacle.

It's a Transformers game. There will be Transforming and it'll probably be the game's double tap dodge as that poster suggested
They of course aren't going to license any real vehicles for this but don't worry, I doubt they'd say "oh we don't have the rights for real trucks???? guess they can't transform" haha

Transformers are minuscule compared to most mecha, anyway, so they have much more of an excuse. Even Devastator would be smaller than many mobile suits, let alone any super robot! Furthermore, they're autonomous beings, which means no lag from pilot reaction / input times.
Yeah, but that'd be really strange for them to look exactly like the G1 transformers in robot mode and then transform into vehicle modes that are completely new.
If that was the case, I don't think they would go for G1 at all. It'd be easier to do one of the newer cartoons that don't have real world vehicle modes.
So either, they found a way to get the vehicle modes in... or there is no transforming. That's my guess anyways.
HNNNNNG
I still wish Fall of Cybertron was getting a proper sequel.
But still, if this is Platinum, then holy shit, there literally could not be a more perfect list of things I like distilled into one thing.
Combiner Wars hype train, let's. Fuckin. GOOOOOOOO!
IDW bases their robot modes on G1, and creates new, relatively non-licensed generic versions of their vehicles, and no one notices. As long as Optimus Prime is a truck, and Bumblebee is a buggy-looking car, it doesn't really matter what the brand or exact model of vehicle it's supposed to be.

For consoles, that's a given, but I'm referring to their PC versions. Locking resolution is extremely backwards thinking on a platform with inherent backwards compatibility and with a demographic that is already pushing for 4K.

Hmm, hope this isn't another low-budget mediocre licensed game like Korra. I guess you just gotta pay the bills in-between Bayonetta and Scalebound, huh.

Where are people getting that this is an exclusive game?
a fan site like pure xbox would not say it is on another platform and since this is activision is will be on every platform except for wii u

At the end of the day it's a licensed Activision game. I'm sure the artists were inspired by G1 but most people would probably not bat an eye if Optimus just goes "whoosh" and wraps up into a generic red and blue semi truck
I've never been hardcore into Transformers so I wouldn't notice something as subtle as licensed vs. unlicensed, and I'm probably not alone in that. I think the only time they'd worry about that nowadays would be a movie tie-in if there's a deal with the new Camaro or something
The vehicle modes in the cartoon were never exact copies of their real life counterparts so afaik Hasbro never paid any licensing costs for the vehicles in the cartoon. As long as the vehicle modes look somewhat cartoony they can easily get away with the G1 vehicle modes.
I always put the vehicles looking slightly off model in the cartoon down to poor animation quality. But maybe you're right. Maybe it's just the toys that were replicas of actual cars.

If Rockstar can get away with that without infringing copyright, I'm sure Activision/Platinum can mock up some convincing almost-but-not-quite Lamborghinis and Freightliners.

A lot of people found the game combat mechanics worth it, which is basically the main reason you buy a PG game.
I find that metacritic overly harsh, but understandable, since most people appreciate games as a whole.

Lets hope this breaks the streak of low-budget, low-effort licensed P* games, cuz if this shit is another Korra AND no Scalebound, they might as well just cancel E3

Metroplex.
Trypticon. (LOLLLLLLLLL)
Fortress Maximus.
Scorponok (G1).
Size can be inconsistent, but these four were pretty much autobot/decepticon bases.
edit: speaking of size inconsistency, Sky Lynx and Astrotrain should have been massive, but were always portrayed as the same size as everyone else in robot mode.
double edit: also this.
I have no idea how big omega supreme is. no one does.
triple edit: anyone who can figure out this guy wins the thread

Looks awesome.
It does, and it has the Generation 1 style, which is the only Transformers style I personally enjoy. I am a child of the 80's and grew up playing with the Generation 1 transformers. This is right in my wheelhouse.
Ok, so where is Soundwave with different cassette tapes? That would be pretty awesome.

can't believe that Nickelodeon kids show licensed game wasn't really a secret deep action game :^)
