Why the next Transformers game should be Beast Wars | Throwing Digital Sheep

Beast Wars deserves more recognition, and after fifteen years since the last game, is more than overdue to Maxamize on screen once again.

Beast Wars got guud during the last few seasons when more of the story was fleshed out and they started to tie it in with generation 1 but other than that I found the characters and most of the stories extremely uninteresting. Not to mention I hated that they had to stay in their animal forms, it just seemed like an excuse to cover up the poor computer animation this series had.

P_Bomb2853d ago (Edited 2853d ago )

They didn't have to stay in their animal forms after season 1. They explained it story wise. Budget went up in season 2&3 with the show's success. Mainframe's work got better.

Beast Wars is arguably the best written TF series there's been. Forward and Ditillio made some great characters so I gotta disagree with you there.

Tarantulus scheming ala Starscream + researching the Vok, Inferno's glitchy loyalty, Dinobot & Rattrap's evolution as frenemies, Depthcharge vs Rampage, Tigatron and airrazor merging into Tigerhawk only to die vs the Nemesis, Cheetor growing up on the show, blackarachnia and Silverbolt connecting across enemy lines, the fact characters actually died and stayed dead. Then when they revealed BW Megatron's G1 master plan, it sealed the epic deal. Solid, solid series almost ruined by BeastMachines.

gangsta_red2852d ago

I'm going to have to agree with this. It has been a while since I watched the series.

Beast Machines I do remember being horrible but I did like the whole Optimus almost finding some sort of bizarre religion in returning to be organic.

ZaWarudo2853d ago

I would love that. Beast Wars was my shiz, liked how Megatron had a jacuzzi with a rubber ducky.

The follow up Beast Machines was okay, i loved the more darker cyberpunk theme, but they ruined Ratrap, Silverbolt was an asshole and Optimus Primal went crazy cult leader mode with Cybertron being techno organic. Also, Cybertron being techno organic is was stupid.
And the whole "I am transform" thing was lame.

Jinryo2853d ago

Imo the next Transformers game should be the one from HighMoon Studios, that will end the Cybertron trilogy.

P_Bomb2852d ago (Edited 2852d ago )

I'd be down with High Moon returning but I don't know if Platinum still has dibs on another game. Devastation hints at a potential future villain

Relientk772852d ago

Because Beast Wars is amazing

Always loved Beast Wars more than regular Transformers

Nintendo says Switch 2 will be officially announced before the end of March 2025

This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I'm excited for a switch 2 however I don't feel it will be coming this year as per the tweet in they are commuting to a reveal in this Japanese financial year in 2025.

Realistically we will get one last holiday season to focus on the switch because it would be madness for Nintendo to go into the holidays where the switch always performs well when they have announced a switch 2.

I'm thinking we see a announcement late Jan 25 personally with a release between March and June depending on when the software is ready and how strong the holday sales were if they need to boost those figures for the next earnings call or not

gold_drake3d ago

yea agreed. they'll probably match it with the new pkmn game they announced

VenomUK3d ago

So it begins!

Where one contender pulls out of the game, another comes back bigger and stronger.

Nintendo Switch 2 - let the games begin.

Cacabunga3d ago

A new Splatoon launch title for sure.. hoping they change the recipe and make it open world.

I think it’ll come out Q1 25. Let’s wait and see

H93d ago

There's a event in June for games on the switch and they said there won't be a switch 2 announcement so no way they will announce the console after june and still release it in the same year

Eonjay3d ago

So, I think they will shoot for another FYQ4 release (like with the first Switch) but I am confused by the headline:

'[...] Switch 2 will be officially ANNOUNCED before the end of March 2025' This implies that the Switch 2 isn't coming out till maybe holiday 2025 or maybe even 2026. I think they will be better served by NOT releasing when GTA 6 launches (unless there is some shocking reveal that it will run on Switch 2). Release early 2025.

Neonridr3d ago

I'd say it'll be released before March 2025 tbh.

Holiday announcement with summer launch

thesoftware7303d ago

It should be an interesting year; Sony, Nintendo, and MS all have new Hardware to show.
