Transformers: War for Cybertron anyone else psyced ?

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I would buy it if it turns out to be as epic as the trailer looks. but remember folks, it is a trailer. It is supposed to look epic. I refuse to dig into my shallow pockets until I have seen a finished product.

Showing me a video of epic, real, gameplay will seal the deal for me.

Do those giant robots have giant robots?

Aside from the game essentially being a new take on Dreamwave's fantastic "War Within" comics, this was the main selling point for me.

Really? I loved those comics. This makes me even more keen for it!

Check out post #44 in this very thread, that's your best bet.

Well, yeah, I do see elements of War Within in there. The bot design is the most obvious, but there are more subtle similarities as well, like some of the character backgrounds (Megatron is an ex-gladiator, Optimus is a data clerk, etc). Most of the little details seem rooted in the classic G1 series, though... I found out that in this game Optimus's former name was Orion Pax, for example.

I'm not psyched at all, I didn't even like the transformers as a cartoon.

Update:

I've found a podcast that reveals a lot about the game, and the team's aims while making it, right here [http://cdn2.libsyn.com/majornelson/mnr-060610-3598-Transformersandtheonebefore32010.mp3?nvb=20100607130405&nva=20100608131405&t=05da08a510e6364bd87d4]. Just skip to 37:55 for the interview. It's about half an hour long, but I found it really interesting.

Sorry but that looks awful, I can just see horrible game-play and control's..
Too much tying to happen not much succeeding.

However I'd love to see this game prove me wrong.

Is it just me or is the dead robot on the right flipping us of off

The developers have said that their first and foremost focus from the beginning was on (literally) "gameplay and controls".

They've got a similar control scheme to Gears of War, and have said that if you've played Gears, then you should only have to think about the controls for 'about 10 seconds', before it all feels intuitive. They really wanted people to have strategy and tactics on their mind, rather than the controls.

Well that told me.
If it plays like gears i'm sure it'll be a pretty good game.

Still probably won't buy it though.. just doesn't appeal to me..
If there are more real guns than lasers then maybe ill be a little interested.

I know what you mean, I've always found lasers to be quite a turn off in games.

Yup, they just don't feel good to shoot.
Fallout 3?
A big green blob flying at like 100mph towards a guys head and turning him into goo is nowhere near as cool as a bullet flying at 700mph and blowing a guys head off or exploding it.

Update: Some more info on the game and demo has been announced here [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/transformers-war-for-cybertron-questions-answered-on-kotaku-talk-radio---demo-date-revealed-169918/], courtesy of Kotaku.

Most importantly IMO, the 360 demo has been CONFIRMED for tomorrow! (10th June)

 

[Lizardon]

The trailer looks good, but what trailers don't?
I'll probably get it. I heard that the plot has more in common with the original cartoon than the films so thats one gold stars right there

 

[JIst00]

Right for the uninitated, the Multiplayer Demo is on the 360 Marketplace, couldnt find it on the PS3 equivalent. Its AWESOME, lots of fun once you get your head around the controls. Only Scout and Solidier are available right now, but the scout owns, think a rogue, with a sniper rifle. Backstab all the way baby. Not so keen on the solidier, but I've alwys prefered small and fast over big and strong. Plus the Autobot scout is pretty much Bumblebee ^^. Absolutely loving the game so far, looking forward to the singleplayer and more multiplayer modes, plus the ability to customize my transformers.

If your interested go check it out.

Roll on 25th, or 22nd if your in the states. I think.

 

[UnwishedGunz]

theres a demo on the xbox marketplace...download it

i find that its...alright the way the cars can move side to side is pretty cool

 

[TOGSolid]

Ill try the demo. If it's bad I won't buy it. Simple as that.

There's a demo out?! Where did you find it?!

-EDIT-

I might be a little late to reply, but I don't think I said anything about the demo being out.

I must admit, I'm abit pysched for it now I've seen the gameplay trailers. But I need a demo before I commit to it.
