Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Needs To Get Better | It's A Gaming World

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is the sequel to High Moon’s fascinating story of the epic war taking pace on the Autobot’s and Decepticon’s home planet; War for Cybertron. While receiving quality reviews across most of the internet, many people stayed away from the title, and rightfully so with numerous flops on the 1980’s cartoon and toy line brand. Yet War for Cybertron turned out to be a sleeper hit with its multiplayer, horde mode, and completely cooperative campaign.

Kyle takes a look at the demo for Fall of Cybertron. Does the demo make him want to play it? Find out in the full article!

Complaining about not being able to party up? really? they took that out of the demo because they didnt want teams of friends going in pub stompign the crap out of new players who are trying to check the game out.

I regulary get upwards of 30 kills and so do my friends, id hate to think what it would be like for the other team if we could all party up and use teamwork when they are all just trying to check the game out.

I find the aiming to be suited to being a giant robot....im not a puny spartan or human, obviously my aim isnt goign to be as responsive, if it were there would be something wrong...

brb judging the graphics and presentation of a downloadable demo that is barely over 1GB which has 2 10 min long SP missons and a good load of multiplayer content to boot.

And please dont ever compare this game to Halo or COD, it is far far better than either.

The lack of a cover system in a 3rd person shooter is a little ridiculous imo. Especially for a sequel that should look for ways to improve on the original. You could argue that giant robots don't have the need to use cover or whatever, but the enemies don't have any problem using it.

Zha1tan4275d ago (Edited 4275d ago )

Not every TPS needs to be a gears clone and have cover, thats a stupid idea and would never in a million years suit this game at all, the fast paced nature leaves no room for a cover mechanic and its not a cover based shooter, its a shooter which focuses on movement and mobility and im glad it does as it actually inovates instead of pulling an inversion.

And there is cover in the game, why do you need a button to bind you to the wall? and how on earth would a cover system be an improvement?

noobs and their misunderstanding of game mechanics.

Gamehard4275d ago

lol insults for stating an opinion. I guess it makes you feel cool on the internet. And how would using cover hurt the game exactly? Like I said, the enemies in single player even cling to walls, so it just feels a bit out of place that you can't do the same.

Captain Qwark 94275d ago

gonna have to agree with zha1tan here lol. optimus prime running to cover behind a wall would be retarded lol. granted i have seen them do it in the show but once in a while is fine, constantly would just be odd. plus you can just walk behind a wall, switch your shooting arm as needed and use cover the traditional way.

BlackTar1874275d ago

yea cover system sounds dumb. Big giant robot ducking behind cover sounds ridiculous. Cover system is not a way to improve on anything but campers lol.

Zha1tan4275d ago (Edited 4275d ago )

If you take noob as an insult then I feel for you bro.

If you had played the game for a length of time you would understand cover has no place in it, its fast paced, enemies do not bind to their cover, they simply stick their gun out from cover.

It would hurt the pace of the game and I know for a fact it would entice camping round corners in the multiplayer like it does in gears of war 3 because its slow paced.

Id rather have the ability to change my weapon hand which is something that has been missing from most TP shooters and the right hand camera shoulder is an issue with gears of war they had 3 games to address but never did.

Gamehard4275d ago (Edited 4275d ago )

I have played the original to a great extent, as a matter of fact. I probably put more time into the MP than any other shooter I've played this gen. And cover would not benefit much or hurt the multiplayer aspect of the game, because of how fast paced it is. People that would rely heavily on cover would get punished fast. But in the single player, it would only be an improvement. I never said it was a game breaker that it's not present, I just think it's weird to be absent from a third person shooter. And yes, the enemies do cling to cover in the demo for FoC.

But whatever dude, it's my opinion. The game is gonna be good, but I doubt I'll rush out and get it day 1 like I did with the first one. Not because of lack of a cover system btw lol. Just because Darksiders 2 and Borderlands 2 are coming out so close to it.

I have maybe 150 hrs in the original and I know for a fact Cover would kill the feel of the game/. It would hurt you want 5 people hiding behind cover right outside the spawn? no matter which way you look at this game would not benefit in anyway from a cover system and it would encourage alot of camping. i play Competitive MP and i know you give someone cover most people will use it to camp and overall just make the game slower.
I respect your opinion just think nothing good comes from cover system in this game.

so about that digital """future" ""...

skycaptin52303d ago (Edited 2303d ago )

It's a real shame, Fall and War were truly remarkable games.

Cobra9512303d ago

You can always redownload titles you already bought, even delisted ones. And while the digital future may bring downsides like this one, it is inevitable nevertheless.

Krysis2303d ago

I grew with you but you will never convince idiots they are wrong, that's what makes them idiots.

ChrisW2303d ago

Exactly, they can always be redownloaded!!!

I just downloaded Transformers: Devastation and War for Cybertron to check.

The article said it's because of Activision's license expiring. Unless there's a huge nasty internal disagreement about that sort of stuff, this delisting will hopefully not be permanent.

firelogic2303d ago

If you bought it, you can still redownload it as many times as you want. They're just not selling it anymore. We'd be in the same situation if physical copies ended their print run.

And yes, we are moving to an all digital future. All doesn't mean "all or nothing." You can still buy LPs in 2018. That doesn't mean the majority of the population hasn't moved onto MP3s and streaming music.

BluRay/DVDs are still sold but have been steadily decreasing year after year as people have moved onto streaming and digital downloads.

Physical books are still printed but are in decline because of e-readers/tablets/cell phones.

PC gaming has been basically 100% digital for some time now and you don't see them proclaiming that the sky is falling. It's just console gamers that are reluctant to accept the inevitable. I don't understand why.

spektical2303d ago (Edited 2303d ago )

"It's just console gamers that are reluctant to accept the inevitable. I don't understand why."

You arent a true gamer then. True money value for a game is in the physical copy. Digital is much more anti-consumer at this place in time. You cannot lend games to friends, and sure there needs to be a middleground. At this point I can go to my friends houses and trade switch/ps4 games like mario/zelda/horizon/gta5, which i cant do with digital. The needle is too far on the anti-consumer side. Steam tried it with family sharing, but its bs i have to sign in to a friends pc for "family share", why can't I decide which 5 friends can view my library from the my home?

Skuletor2303d ago

Same situation if physical copies of a game ended their production run? Don't think you can buy many preowned digital games, especially when they've been delisted.

darthv722303d ago

@spektical: Digital is not anti-consumer. if anything it is pro consumer as digital is much easier to obtain. And really a true gamer is someone who plays games no matter where or in what format.

Sounds to me you are more of a shelf collector than a gamer if you are worried about physical vs digital.

Sunny_D2303d ago

Physical copies that end their run still have the benefit of atleast having a used copy you can find for said game. There’s no such thing as a used digital game.

rainslacker2303d ago (Edited 2303d ago )

Pretty sure u can still easily obtain almost every game ever made physically. It's not like it's terribly hard to find people selling stuff. It's rare that I have to wait it out on something. Just last week I brought over 40 snes games all new, and their print run ended well over 20 years ago.

Otoh, my digital copy of r-typres which I actually paid for back at the start of last gen I'd no longer available for sale, nor is it available to download.

Digital has it's advantages sure, but this is one place where physical trumps digital, and the 2nd biggest reason why I prefer physical. The first is I actually like havi my something of value, which digital games don't beyond my own account

narsaku2303d ago

Yea yea, 1 or 2 games get de-listed and can still be downloaded by people who purchased and nobody really cares about them anyway and the retards come out laughing at the future of gaming, all the while they can't find 3/4 of their games they bought in the last 10 years, half of them probably don't work without skips/glitches, several, "disk 2's", are gone, several of the cases you opened, led to cracked games cus mum dropped your old collection while playing etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

I swear console gamers here are 200 years old.

Professor_K2303d ago (Edited 2303d ago )

This game is still in my backlog :(

gangsta_red2303d ago

Same, got it from PS+ and I was determined to finish it because I am a huge G1 fan...sadly I never did.

LucasRuinedChildhood2303d ago

You can still download and play it.

ZwVw2303d ago

Legend of Korra has been delisted from all marketplace stores as well. The rights expired with Activision.

These games as very close to me actually liking them...

darthv722304d ago

Both 'War for' and 'Fall of' are really well made games. Much better than any of the movie licensed ones.

BlackTar1872304d ago

i just wish the MP in #2 was better and more inline with #1.

I put like 200hrs into MP on #1 and was one of the hidden gems of last gen. Whatever they did to MP in #2 was awful IMO of course

2304d ago
Knightofelemia2304d ago

I love these games way better then the movie crap that was put out. Too bad the third game Rise of the Dark Spark sucked they had a great franchise going on with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron.

jukins2304d ago

1st one was amazing. Second was so sloppy technically was near unplayable

"It’s not all bad new for fans though, because there is a new animated TV series based on the original Generation 1 series and toyline coming too."

I'd never heard of that. Would be interesting to see, tho.
