Fall of Cybertron - a Transformers game to rival Arkham Asylum?

OXM - Transformers is the elephant in our particular room, an elephant composed of a million billion shiny, sinister mechanisms. To the man or woman who tames the beast, exposing its secrets to the world, shall be awarded mighty web traffic increases, as legions of fans around the internet focus their adoration.

NastyLeftHook04262d ago

there two different types of games.

mafiahajeri4262d ago

Yes obviously. I didnt even read the article and I know that he means that Transformers is a licensed game to rival Batman. Basically Transformers FOC is the Batman AC of the Transformers brand.

Read the article next time which Im sure you didnt...

OneAboveAll4262d ago (Edited 4262d ago )

tentsonsoftube, I think you missed the point.

They are both sleepers.

Irishguy954262d ago (Edited 4262d ago )

He means,

Batman AC had crafted a perfect 'batman' game. And has realized the potential of the batman franchise in gaming.

Transformers FAC has crafted a perfect 'Transformers' game. And has realized the potential of the Transformers franchise in gaming.

Really, there isn't much times when a 'movie/tv series etc' series is not just a waste of time cash in. Arkham **** series has caught what a Batman game should be like. Transformers is the same

There's just something smooth as **** when you are a taking on a small armada in a tight room online, then transforming into a jet, whizzing through their formation and narrowly escaping through an opening in the wall. You can just hear the other team "****, we missed em!!"

Mike_Tha_Hero4261d ago

This is a reach of a comparison, at any capacity.

Two completely different franchises, the impact won't relate at all.

mafiahajeri4262d ago (Edited 4262d ago )

@OneAboveAll Well he missed the point by a country mile and hes still not getting it so theres no point taling sense into him. The first Transformers was a sleeper hit, a true hidden gem. FOC is a sequel to capitalize on War Of Cybertron.

I was hyped for AA ALOT! So were alot of people. But with Transformers it literally came out of no where.

I still think he means that these are the two best liscensed games out there , not sleeper hits and hes right...

OneAboveAll4262d ago

The first game surprised me. I have FOC pre-ordered. Can't wait for Tuesday!

My poo rivals arkham asylum...

GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME4261d ago

thats some pretty fine poo you've got there

jjb19814261d ago

Yes indeed, you should see its investigation mode.

FreakyFox4261d ago

High Moon Studio and Rocksteady Studio have done very well with turning a comic/cartoon francise into fantastic gaming experience, and done it on Unreal Engine 3 that is about 7 years old.

Very impressed.

Zha1tan4261d ago

Rocksteady & High Moon are two of my favourite developers! both know how to do a great fan service and it seems they actually listen to the fanbase.

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

skycaptin52298d ago (Edited 2298d ago )

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

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.

Krysis2297d ago

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

ChrisW2297d 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.

firelogic2297d 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.

spektical2297d ago (Edited 2297d 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?

Skuletor2297d 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.

darthv722297d 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_D2297d 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.

rainslacker2297d ago (Edited 2297d 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

narsaku2297d 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_K2297d ago (Edited 2297d ago )

This game is still in my backlog :(

gangsta_red2297d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood2297d ago

You can still download and play it.

ZwVw2297d ago

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

Revisiting Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

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

darthv722298d ago

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

BlackTar1872298d 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

Knightofelemia2298d 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.

jukins2298d 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.
