i actually bought this game twice. ps4 at launch and ps3 version later at a discount. maybe get the pc version later to complete the set! decepticon sequel must happen. i'm fine with any approach.
The core gameplay is so good they don't even need to change anything, just add more characters, weapon types, enemies and settings (and yes, make the Decepticons playable too).
I think it would benefit from having a deeper combo and weapon system. Something like Bayo.
Aside from that I completely agree.
Where do people find games sales numbers? I have tweeted Platinum asking about a sequel, got no reply though.
Hasbro wants games made as tie ins to their annual themes
Like this year the the theme would be optimus' predecessors
Especially considering the end of this game.Nova Prime boss battle when, Platinum?
I'm also hoping for a sequel; would love to see more direct IDW influence, bring in Prowl, Arcee and Windblade and just expand on the foundation here. Maybe even a playable Combiner sequence; taking control of Superion for a couple fights would be a really neat thing.
It already has a ridiculously deep combo system, very much comparable with Bayo. Check these out!
...
Really, the only thing Bayo has over it is more amount of stuff (different combos, especially thanks to being able to combine hand and feet weapons), and bells and whistles (transformations, torture attacks, etc.). The core is already rock-solid.
I am only saying that, in the sequel I would want more bells and whistles, over changes in the art style and controls. You know? Like improving the speed of the weapon quick swap and not having that graphic appear in the middle of the screen when switching. And like you said more weapons, characters etc.
Well, then we agree, keep the core, add more content. I didn't notice any delay switching weapons, but then again in Prime I always roll with one melee + three ranged, so I never switch mid-combo.
Yeah we are on the same page. That delay could be my recollection playing up, but that graphic would often get in the way and I couldn't be sure exactly if the swap was delayed or my eyes are getting too old for this shit ; )
You went 3 ranged? I usually went with 2 of each and often would switch out to 3 melee. I felt the gun game was a little weak. Could be just my Platinum prejudices though. I know melee is their jewel in the crown.
Very impressive.
I feel like I missed out there. I might try more gun game on the next story playthrough, maybe with Wheeljack?
This chat we are having inspired me to try the challenge mode a bit more. Got my first SS rank, albeit on Warrior difficulty. Was amazed to be honest, I felt like I got hit way too much to get SS.

This the one Decepticon team that are worthy of a Decepticon centric campaign
Decepticon Justice Division.
Well that is if you want a 'serious' shooty bang game with some GoW3 Kratos brutality.
Everyone loves the DJD but I think they work best as antagonists. Too grimdark for my tastes for anything but the complete monster moral black hole that you can point at in a comic full of moral gray and say "yep, those are the bad guys". Plus they can take down phase sixers like they're grunts, so they might be too overpowered to be controllable characters, even for a P* game.
But by all means, stick them in as bosses, then throw in a crazy challenge where you face all five of them at once. I'm aware this seems to contradict what I just said about them being overpowered, but in TF Bumblebee can take on Devastator and Menasor at once, so...
Yeah, I'd much rather see the DJD as boss battles than as playable characters.
Though unleashing sick electric chair combos would be pretty awesome.
No, aside from directional inputs for certain attacks, if that counts. You won't have to abuse your controller.Random question - can anyone tell me if there is much "stick waggling" in this please?
As there was loads in Metal Gear Rising and i'll probably get it on 360/PC rather than subject my PS4 controller to the abuse if it's like that haha

I'm like 2 hours in playing on commander and my gawd this is good. I'm finding it better than Bayo 2 wich i got kinda bored with how easy is in the hardest dificult you can play on your first run.
The way P* has adopted the concept of witch time and offset combo, and even wave attacks to fit transformers is pretty cool.
Platinum games game's almost always make my day.
is just fun and badass.
Besides, i started playing it on a saturday morning so it feels just right.
Edit: If you usually get stunned on this games then there is some wiggle. enemies can inflict stun states on you.
This game is so fucking cool. I'm not even a transformers fan ( but I watched the series) but the gameplay...the damn gameplay is so smooth and fun. I love Platinum Games. I can't wait for the new Turtles game.
And please....Platinum...just make a Looney Tunes game....I need the old cartoons, I miss them. Looney Tunes + Platinum combat? Give it to me now.

The lack of explanation is typical of Platinum. They're old school to the point of absurdity sometimes, and it's kind of endearing.Just finished. This game really needed to explain the dozens of features available to you and be about two hours longer. I didn't even realize some of the things I could do in the Ark until the last two chapters. Also, what an amazing game. So fun. I need to know what Kenji Saito is directing next because between this and Metal Gear Rising I have all the trust in him. And I wouldn't mind if it was a Transformers sequel.
Saur has started a video guide series on this game!

Cool! I played this game a ton on Xbox One, but just started back over on the PC since it was on sale a while ago. I love the game, but I kinda suck at it. I should try to get better.Part 3 is out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGUAB2jR-kw too.
I think this video series is worthy of its own thread.
You can't really have those guys without Kup, though...Was watching TV The Movie last night. Man, I really want a sequel to this with Rodimus, Arcee, Galvatron, Cyclonus etc.

EDIT: Allow meIt's kind of funny how I knew a lot of the things in these videos at an intuitive level, simply by having played the game to death. It's like attending a grammar class for a language you're already fluent in, if that makes sense. Of course, the class still helps you understand the underlying principles, rules and exceptions.
I fully agree. Want to do the honors?

Watch the first 5 episodes of Season 3: The Five Faces of Darkness. They're a single story that serves as sequel to the movie.
In my mind, there are a trilogy of animated G1 Transformers movies. The first is Desertion of the Dinobots. Not up to the quality of the 86 movie, obviously, but DotD and TFFoD have significantly better animation than most of the other TV episodes, and form cogent full length features when edited to play back to back.
I think he meant a sequel to the game with those characters, which i'm totally on board for. After seeing that Bayformers thread and how theyre ruining my boy hot rod, having him show up in devastation 2 would make up for that.
Better yet, make a game with these mechanics based on MTMTE. With an original story written by James Roberts.
Yeah, a man can drean...
