    Default Transfomers Origins WFC Novel *Possible Spoilers*

    From Seibertron

    Developed in close partnership with Hasbro, this is a canonical TRANSFORMERS tale that also relates to, and expands on, the story being told in the upcoming video game, TRANSFORMERS: War for Cybertron, from Activision.
    Fans will not want to miss all of the details, that can only be told in novel form, the moment OPTIMUS gains “PRIME” status, MEGATRON becomes his arch enemy and leader of the DECEPTICONS and their great civil war begins.

    For me, it depends on how good the game is. My merchandise buying is more motivated by how much I enjoyed the parent product.

    The novel however doesn't sound as neither a prequel or a new story to complement the game. The Press release makes it sound as if it is basically the plot of the videogame itself but with more depth.

    Yea it does sound that way pretty much. Maybe there is just so much that they can fit into the game so they make a book that goes in more depth. I thought it would be more like the Soul Reaver comic that I got that was a short story as a prequal to the game. Oh wells, I will get it anyway

    Still, a videogame can be an excellent medium to tell a story. That's where between level cut scenes come in and through them you are told the overall story without having to only be limited by the player character's perspective.

    I'm buying this regardless of whether I enjoy the game or not.

    I have read many books that have turned out to be as good or even better than the other mediums they are based on.

    Ralph magazine was way better than Ralph TV ever was
