Transformers in a sandbox?! Oh sweet lord, let this turn out good.
I have high hopes for this game, as I have always thought that the transformers would make a great video game on the right system. Here's hoping this is it.
The PS2 game is good.Quote:

It's out in a month, and we haven't really seen jack about it yet.
That's not good.
Looks cool. Kinda reminds me of Hulk: UD. Hopefully this doesn't wind up sucking because I wanna be Starscream and fuck everything up
I'm fired up about the potential as well. Out of The Darkness, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Overlord, and this on 6/25-26, I hope this is the best. I'm not terribly confident, but this has the most potential for pure fun.
The video makes it look awesome. My bet is it sucks.
Looks like a non-shit version of War of the Monsters with vehicle stuff. Nice.
New preview @ GameSpot, looking pretty good.
I saw a guy buy these in store the other day and had no idea they even existed:

Apparently they come in Autobot or Decepticon packs, and have about 6 randomly chosen bots per pack. The power button on the front has the auto. or decept. insignia. I think I want one. especially if I can get a pack with Soundwave in it.
edit: Soundwave confirmed. Im getting one. But I wonder why this one in the pic has an autobot button on it?

Heres the autobot one:

Jazz is very tempting.

I can't order them because they're doing some stupid orders are randomly chosen shit, and I don't want Autobots.
I'm guessing those are just the make-your-own-faceplate kit with pre-printed Transformers inserts, right? Pass, those things look terrible no matter how cool a design you put in them.
No way! I loved War of the Monsters. I just wish it supported 4-players.Quote:

I was gonna get it when I grabbed The Darkness but it wasn't in yet. Unless I hear about it being completely terrible, I'll just get it later today
I am waiting as well. Yoshi, be our guinea pig.
I tried to buy it this morning, but it wasn't on the shelf yet.
Walmart/Target supposedly has it.
There happens to be one where my G1 Soundwave is being held...
SOMEBODY ELSE FIRST PLS.
I tried Target at about 9am. I may head back this afternoon. I wish I had some idea as to PC/PS3/360 comparisons.
It also looks like the GS near the Target and TRU has the TF faceplates.
Fuck, it was nice knowing you Paycheck.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
So, I was explaining all of this to Steph while at work over emails...
I told her they're more than meets the eye.Quote:
Gosh, Transformers are serious business!
I saw the Megatron faceplate and didn't really like the look, so I passed.
Who thinks of this shit? What developers get hard-ons from purposefully ball-shucking characters in videogames?Quote:
For the majority of Prime's quests, he spends his missions driving around within time limits to seemingly-random points on the map, or he fights bosses that can't be hurt with guns.
Maybe it'll hit clearance after not too long, I still want to try it out.
FYE is where I picked up The Darkness and they had the transformers on the shelf there. A demo for this game would've been real nice.
5.7 = pass until a heavy duty price discount for me. The Darkness has been great so far.
Only 4 hours to complete each side's missions?
I'll see you when the price drops.....maybe
Holy shit am I glad Target didn't get this on the shelves early.
Yah I see this dropping to $40 in August, and $20 by the end of the year.
I'm not paying $20 for an IGN 5.7. That's like a 2 in reality.
Shut up you achievement whore! :D
As disappointing as it is, my wallet thanks this game for sucking and The Darkness for only being worth a rental.
Well, we still have the old PS2 TF Armada game. I love that game.
Well hell, maybe I'll get Overlord now.
Yes, do so. Then I can kill you with my minions... from across the sea! MWHAHAHAHA!!Quote:

Big suprise, it's a movie-based game after all. Considering the fact that 99.7% of them all suck, I don't know why you people bothered getting excited about this one.Quote:

I finally got mine in the mail today... kind of annoyed since it was a pre-order. Tried it out for a bit and it's kind of fun, but definitely not worth $60. While it is repetitive, the Decepticons side of the game is a lot of fun since you just blow lots of shit up.
Kinda like playing Bizzaro in Superman Returns, no?
I rented it. Its one of those games that starts off ok but gets worse the more you play it.

That's awesome.
Yoshidamus.
I wouldn't know, I never played it... but I'm going to have to say yes from what I've read.Quote:

Was looking for the darkness, lol.
Played it some at Best Buy while I was waiting for them to dig up GitS:SSS LE. It was kinda cool. not $60 cool, but maybe when it gets closer to $40 or less.
Beat it with the Autobots today, gonna start the Decepticon game.
These timed missions are pissing me off. I'm glad I only rented this.
I'm on the last decepticon mission and I'm flipping the fuck out just because I can't get to the last spot. It's on top of some building and Megatron flies WAY too fast.
Any tips on getting full Slide and Throw?
Hold the brake, and do donuts for slide. Haven't gotten throw yet.
Cool. ThanksQuote:
