War for Cybertron Extended Trailer!

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-war-for-cybertron-extended-trailer-released/17654/

all i can say at the moment is OMG ot those last 30 odd seconds!

[5FDP]

This looks super-friggen awesome :eek:

[Lordy]

If this game is even half of what the trailers promise, I am going to buy it. Great to see some lesser used TFs getting a chance in this game

[Bartrim]

That looks freaking awesome. Hope this game can live up to the hype.

[mknell]

Looks awesome makes me wanna get an xbox now

[loophole]

thats looking good so far, although i dont know about megatrons voice sounds a bit too medievil

[Paulbot]

I don't think anything we've seen yet shows us what the game will be like, but the cutscenes look awesome.

I continue to be impressed with the animator's take on what Cybertron looks like. I particularly love the way the surface of the planet transforms to create roads and more.

[kup]

Wow! That was freaking awesome!

[SilverDragon]

TRYPTICON OH MY GOD

I want to see gameplay footage, because it looks FUN.

I agree! Im totally blown away by this preview! This is should be made into a animated series, i really believe it would make for awesome viewing!

Im wondering if TF3 should be set in a similar theme, unfortunately Michael Bay will just stuff it up anyway!

I absolutely love the version of Bumblebee!

[1AZRAEL1]

Stupid work, I can't see it.

Is there any other site that has it up for view yet? I don't want to have to wait to get home :o

[Sleeve]

I feel giddy, and I just watched that without sound. Think I may faint when I watch it again with some speakers attached.

[RageOnTheRoads]

mmmmmmmmmmmm niiiiice:D Though, I can't wait to see some gameplay footage!

[i_amtrunks]

Cullen does another top notch job. Love the way that the planet also transforms, it's a different take on the planet that could be an interesting (or frustrating) game mechanic.

I'd assume that there will be an Autobot and Decepticon campaign, so would the 6-8 main characters spotted in this video be the playable characters? (Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Omega Supreme, Megatron, Skywarp, Soundwave, Trypticon).

Anywho the game trailer is fantastic, lets hope the game measures up!

[Saintly]

looks awesome!

Dammit I still can't watch it:(

God I hate work.

[Robzy]

It looks so awesome!!

Bumblebee looks fantastic :o

[Scrapper]

I have been informed by my friends at EB that the optimus prime figure for this game will more then likely be part of the pre order limited edition because of the success the different series of transformers have been having of recently. Not only does this sound correct but my friend who manages the store is not a transformer fan at all but still wants to play the game and knew about the figure before I did through other EB sources.

That does sound logical - Having the toy as a 'Special Edition bonus' sounds right. It's very common for Special Edition versions of games to be released with scale replicas, toys, etc like the Batarang in the Arkham Assylum SE version of the game.

In a way that's kind of sad since it will not be a subline meaning that Prime is likely to be the only toy in the series and inaccessible to any fans who would rather the toy than the game.

But if in fact the game is the prelude to the new series, then we will see figures come out, and this may be a different version of prime that will be released. Just speculating.

Either way, I wil pre-order this game anyway :D

In regards to the toy line;

In this Q&A with Aaron Archer of Hasbro and Activision regarding the upcoming War for Cybertron Game:http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/seibertron-talks-to-hasbro-and-activision-about-war-for-cybertron/17547/

He says this about the toys:
I know you all want to know about this, but there's not much to discuss. They weren't allowed to talk about the product yet. However, things that they aren't allowed to talk about are still things that exist. So, we know that there will be corresponding toys to the story and game.


This is strong evidence to support a toyline and with lots of attention the the Movies, Hasbro/Activision has been able to keep this game under wraps for nearly 3 years as the project has been in development since 2007, hopefully this means they have more prototypes in production.

But would Hasbro really go to all this effort with the game and not create a toyline?

I don't know if Omega and Trypticon will be playable characters. I would say they would be boss characters like Tidal Wave in the Armada game on PS2

[SofaMan]

It doesn't look like they are:

http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=6577

(that is, they ARE doing a toyline)

And based on the toy and the trailer, they're drawing heavy influence from some of the old TransTech designs, at least for Prime:

[Bartrim]

Thanks for clearing that up. Damn double negatives:)

[Gutsman Heavy]

I'd buy that Bumblebee.
'Bout time Trypticon got some lovin'

[5FDP]

I would say they would be boss characters like Tidal Wave in the Armada game on PS2

That was epic! One of the best boss battles ever.

[1AZRAEL1]

I finally got to watch it and have to say, OMFG :eek::eek::eek::eek:

That looks so sweet. I hope that if they got Peter Cullen to do the voice over, that he will be doing voices in the game, as well as for a new series if this is to be a precursor.

[Lord_Zed]

That's some very nice cut scenes, not sure that translates into a game I want to play though. It's good to see Trypticon again though that much Im certain of. A new Trypticon toy would be cool if done well.

I rather like how it's inherited some of the darkness of the movies (and comics too), it looks like they have a proper gritty war, not some cartoony laser battle.

[Sam]

The trailer looks really awesome. If the game lives up to the potential seen, it will be worth shelling out big bucks for!

[Tabias Prime]

Its just so full of Transformer goodness, I want more, give me more damn you......

Maybe this is the style for the new animated series too ,just a thought, maybe its goingto be a computer generated show just like Beast Wars.One can wish:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolle yes:

[optimus1]

Finally got to see the trailer and my verdict is: :eek:

I'm loving it so far, the character models look good so far.

And it has Trypticon :D

Now here's hoping for the Grimlock and his Dynobots :cool:

[Vector Prime]

Finally got to see the trailer and my verdict is: :eek:

+1 :eek: Wow!!! The trailer alone looks awesome!!!

[1AZRAEL1]

So good, I gotta watch it again :D

[kup]

So good, I gotta watch it again :D

I think that I have watched it like 20x already :o

What we need is a good gameplay preview - We have gotten very nice trailers and intro sequences in the past only to get a horrendous game so the next thing they should show us is gameplay footage.

[Lordy]

Does anyone know if this game is based off an existing engine like Unreal 3 or something like that?

[1AZRAEL1]

they should show us is gameplay footage.

That's the next step for what we want. Odds are it won't be too long off with the game coming out in 6 months.

Watching it again, I like the look of Ratchet, he has the right head lol. Bumblebee kinda reminds me a little of Animated BB but with the right head as well, but it looks good. And a quick shot of Soundwave in there for good measure, didn't look out for his minions, they should be there somewhere. I just hope we all get the game we are hoping to get. We'll know soon enough.

[Firestorm]

That Trailer was AWESOME!
i really hope this game turns out to be everything everyone is hopeing for ... and more!
seeing cybertron transform itself to make roads was kinda strange though, not sure i like the idea of the ground suddenly changing while i'm standing on it
for the most part i am liking the character designs so far, optimus looks great trypticon looks fantastic the only things i dont really like about the character designs so far are starscreams massive legs and how easy it was to do this to bumblebee ....

[Vector Prime]

I think that I have watched it like 20x already :o

I've lost count of how many times I've watched it already :o


Does anyone know if this game is based off an existing engine like Unreal 3 or something like that?

Dunno, but that would be very cool... something like Gears of War but with TFs would be awesome :D

[5FDP]

I have a theory that you could take any object and as long as it's coloured correctly e.g. red and blue for Optimus or yellow for Bumblebee, slap on the head, and you could make anything recognisable as a Transformers character :D

Come to think of it, They have already done this with Mighty Muggs :p

[k.wong23]

With trypticon and omega supreme as characters how can it not be great? haha

Here's hoping that gameplay is not a P.O.S and a fanboy game.

[Bartrim]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched it already :o

Dunno, but that would be very cool... something like Gears of War but with TFs would be awesome :D

Same I've lost count of how many times I've watched it:o. I like the idea of a TF game run of the gears of war engine. That would totally rock.

I could be wrong but I thought I heard somewhere that they were using the Unreal Engine.

[Bartrim]

Yeah I just read that on the wiki. I'm not too familiar with it. What is everyone's general consensus?

It's very good and flexible when it comes to implementation like all of it's predecessors. Arkham Asylum uses the Unreal engine for example.

Unreal Engine has become a bit of a standard in game developing due to its alleged flexibility. The Quake III and Doom 3 engines lost to it as an standard as they were much more limited when it came to large environments and multiple characters on screen.

Would be good to have the Unreal Engine, it works well. I recently bought the Unreal collection and haven't had a problem. Plus it's fun :p

I too doubt they would be playable characters, but it'd be a nice (and fairly awesome) change if there was a level in each campaign where you could be the city formers, with a goal to destroy or defend an area from swarms of enemies.

Must resist urge to replay TF game on PS2, trying to finish Assassins creed II!

That would be a pretty cool idea now that you mention it.

Give in to your urge... I already have. I'm also playing ROTF quite a bit too now:o

[griffin]

IGN website have posted up screenshots from the trailer here (http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/054/054928/imgs_1.html).

I was impressed by that as well. And the bit where cover for Bumblebee just flips up out of the ground. Could lad to some really cool level design going on there.

I think this may add some extra adge to the game. ALmost like destructable cover in way. It could force players to take risks. As I just finished Gears of War 2 the other day, as I thought back onmy experience, I realised that I spent most of my time a long way from the action with a sniper rifle, thereby missing out on the enjoyment that the chainsaw gun provides. That is until I was given a flamethrower!

Just think, how you would have to change tactics with a shifting landscape! Bring it on!

Excitement growing!:D:D:D
