Where to next for the WFC/FOC games and storyline?
Where should High Moon Studios go with the Transformers Brand after Fall of Cybertron?
Whether you loved it or hated it (for the record I LOVED it), Fall of Cybertron and its predecessor have made a significant impact of the TF world. Two games, a couple of dozen toys (some great, some not so hot), online comics, an art book, T-shirts and so on. Hasbro has even said that the events portrayed in the games can be considered official cannon.
So the question is – Where to now?
I will list some of the more obvious ideas that have occurred to me and most likely you as well. These are ideas that would continue the storyline already established in the first two games:
•Transformers Exiles: Following the events of the book ‘Transformers Exiles’ where both crews encounter different planets on their way to Earth. There are already some parallels such as Trypticon being converted into the Nemesis. Would be great to see a level on Junkion in particular, and it certainly would open up a multitude of options for level and enemy design with an entire galaxy to choose from.
•Transformers Beast Wars: Following the adventures of the latter series of Beast Wars, the game could show the Ark & Nemesis crashing after coming out of the wormhole they entered at the end of FOC, then start at the point of the story where the Maximals have discovered and are defending the Ark while the Predacons try to invade it, all as our G1 heroes slumber offline. Could make for a nice ending with the reappearance of the Nemesis, as well as placating all the Beast Wars fans who have waited a long time for a game.
•Transformers G1: 1984, everyone wakes up, everyone gets Earth alt-modes, everyone begins to fight – nuff said! Toywise this could be a dream come true and let’s face it, who wouldn’t love to hoon through the desert as Jazz, speakers blaring as Sunstreaker, Tracks, Sideswipe & Smokescreen drive beside you! Or flying through the air as Starscream with his 5 Seekers, waiting to rain down destruction on the Autobots! The downside of all this of course – humans.
So do you think that the next game should go down one of these three paths, or can you see another path that the game could take while still continuing on with the storyline of the first two?
Please bear in mind, this thread is to discuss this series of games in particular. If we just open it up to discussing possible games based around TF4, other genre’s such as the Unicron Wars, or what you think would make a cool Transformers game in general we could be here a long time.
