Official Press Release
And the game website has another countdown. Right now I cant be bothered to work out how long until it reaches zero.
Also another tidbit is Amazon says the release will be July 22nd.
This is the part that's interesting:
TFwiki has also updated their article but I am not sure where they are getting their info.Quote:
“For the first time, Hasbro is working with Activision to drive the TRANSFORMERS fiction forward into new story arcs, demonstrating pivotal moments in Transformers history that defined who they are,” said Aaron Archer, Senior Design Director, Hasbro. “This remarkable video game helps us to tell a critical event in TRANSFORMERS lore that will be used as canon for future storylines in a way we could have only dreamed of a few years ago. It is a testament to the success of the TRANSFORMERS brand and a key element to the story we look forward to telling in 2010 and beyond.”
This too is also interesting.
At least it is being developed for the Wii as well and even DS.Quote:
Transformers: War for Cybertron is in development for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Windows PC, Wii™ and Nintendo DS™
This causes a bit of concern. The DS and possibly the Wii will not be able to handle the same identical game as the PC, PS3 and 360. Which means that there will be 2-3 different games being developed simultaneously scattering resources instead of the developers focusing on making a single good game.
Most of the time Wii & DS games are handled by a different dev team for that reason.
They had to do the same with the TF2 game - splitting up resources and budget to make 5 different versions. I think that one turned out okay, but would have been a lot better if development was focused on just the one game.
I concur there Mr Griff. Its a shame, but I guess it has to be done in the current market situation.
I like the idea of online co-op mode. Hopefully its some sort of story mode, as opposed to team based "capture the flag" etc etc.
Wonder if this will be a new story or something like the work-up to G1 More than meets the eye, ie the struggle of the Autobots to find energon etc etc or something epic along the lines of the fallen and the origins of the battle?Quote:

Looks like the game may well be related to other media as well.
My main concern though is the levels. Most of the time Cybertron has been seen as metallic and at night. Does Cybertron have a sun and are there going to be varied levels (eg a mecha jungle-esque level) or is all going to be urban Cybertron.
