TeamXbox writes: "The game based on the first Transformers movie, simply titled Transformers: The Game, suffered from a severe case of sucky-game-based-on-movie-license-itis. It's a common malady, striking down more video games than not that could potentially suffer from it. But Transformers: The Game seemed to have a particularly acute case, made worse by the fact that the movie it was based upon was universally considered a decent reboot of a classic intellectual property. The game connected to it, on the other hand, was pure dreck."
With the recent successes of Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, even Hasbro wants to see the classic Transformers games come to Game Pass.
C'mon MS find those games on whatever hard drive they're hidden on.
There's a few transformers games from Activision I missed out or didn't finish. Would love to come back to them at some point if they appear on GP.
“Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building. When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating.”
By Unicron’s beard, find them! 😳
Does Activision still have the rights? I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores.
I didn't really look into it at the time.
I thought so too, but these quotes come directly from the Hasbro panel. It seems Hasbro is willing and able to work with them again. At least in a retro capacity.
"Does Activision still have the rights?"
They do not.
"I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores."
This is correct. I dunno if MS can/ would go back to Hasbro and try and negotiate a new deal.
But even if they could I doubt they would, same with Spider-Man.
Game Rant Writes "Transformers has not had much success in the video game market, but the movie tie-in Transformers: The Game may be a diamond in the rough."
The Transformers have not had a great track record in games. Here is a terrible history of Transformers video games
