A question for anyone that has read The Covenant of Primus. Is the Dark Spark covered in the book and therefore canon or is it something Activision came up with for the game?
No, there is no Dark Spark in the Covenant. They do go on about dark energon being 'The Blood of Unicron' since that ties into War for Cybertron and TFPrime but no dark spark is mentioned if memory serves.Quote:

Normally as a publisher you would delay a game instead of needing such a massive patch on day one, but if it's a movie tie in you can't normally move a launch date without getting hit with fine thats written into the contract.
I'm not holding high hopes for this game. Do we know if it has a multiplayer mode other than escalation? And is escalation co-op, as in split screen?
I'll have a look when it finishes installing, I'm at 26%.Quote:

Escalation in FoC was a 4 player co-op mode where you fight off waves of enemies. I never checked but I'm pretty sure it isn't split screen.Quote:

Our PlayStation network is based Europe not the US or locally (rolls eyes) so it gets updated by Sony Europe when they get around to updating their network.
Got my copy today on ps4, I'm enjoying it however I thought visually it would be more impressive. And the AI keeps getting stuck in random locations which is really annoying.
If you pick games up before the release date, usually the codes won't work as they won't allow them until after the official release.Quote:

Yesterday was the official release date, the codes should have worked for the PS3 users.Quote:

For those wondering about the multiplayer it is Escalation mode only. A 4 player co-op "Horde Mode". Sorry no WFC death matches.
EDIT: So now that I've played some of it I'm really glad I got it from EB Games. I'll make a finally decision after I see the movie but I think I'll be taking advantage of their 7 day return policy to get my money back, this game is a crap movie tie-in, not a sequel/prequel to FOC. In fact the WFC/FOC sequences seem to be set in the movie universe which is just going to add to people confusion over what universe WFC/FOC is from.
The PS3 version is scanning at $44 at BigW!:)
is the ps4 version the same price?Quote:

Would have been on last night, but given that I have had a few late nights watching AoE I crashed, and my wife didnt wake me up like I asked her to :mad: :mad: :mad:
At $44 it's a pick up tomorrow for me. I'm on holidays w the family so I will bring my ps3 w me on holidays ;)
And it sounds WFC/FOC enough for me. With only traces of bay....
Don't pay any more than $44 for this!.....trust me.;)
is it that bad? I know it's not done by high moon studios (the guys who did war and fall of cybertron)Quote:

This game is not canon for the Aligned Continuity which is what WFC, FOC, Transformers Prime, Rescue Bots and the 2016 RID series all belong to. It's also not canon for the Movie Universe. This game explains nothing.Quote:

Does the ps3 version need a big patch update? Reason I ask is we are on holidays without wifi or internet as of tomorrow . Don't want to buy an unplayable game for the 2 weeks off :p
I've had since day one on ps3 and no update as of yet;)Quote:

Aside for story/canon stuff, is the game any good? How would it compare to the movie games for console, and the WFC/FOC games?
I'm enjoying it. It's below WfC and FoC but it's better than the Dark of the Moon game for sure.
A little bit more effort in cutscenes and extra detail in level design would have been a big improvement, but it's still enjoyable. A death match multiplayer would be great too...
The game has been noted on many sites as "the prequel to foc" this I assume refers to the "foc" sections of the game. I havnt read anything from Hasbro as of yet stating it is not (if they have said so please point me in the right direction)Quote:

I own the covenant and I am aware there is no such thing in it. In Saying that though the covenant shouldn't be taken as the be all and end all of the aligned continuity. As Alpha Trion says at the start of the book " this volume will be an editing/arrangement of Covenant intended for a human audience, to help them learn about their galactic neighbors."
the exclusive dlc from ebgames is able to be downloaded as i just downloaded it tonight
It's basically a DOTM/FOC game hybrid. It's not good but it's not bad either.
I love some of the music. I 'Shazammed' a few tunes and bought them on itunes.
I got the game on Wednesday for PS3 and finished it last night, was rather lackluster but am getting in to escalation mode :) just wish I had some reliable partners??? (hint hint) :D
