G.I. Think it could be interesting if done the right way.

I think it could be a great idea if done in a style more like the original cartoon series, and NOT trying to be a CoD or Battlefield. Like a slightly more serious Team Fortress. Instead of picking classes, you pick characters. Like Tanks would be like Roadblock and Destro as an example. Multiple costumes for each character based on cartoons and comics. The only question is.....Do I use metal face Cobra Commander or Rag face Cobra Commander?

Edit- Pre-order bonus character? The Viper. Comes fully equipped with bucket and squigee. (I wonder if anyone is old enough to remember that)

*YAWN*

Honestly, why are such a good developer using such a boring license. I hope this isn't true.

Majin-vegeta4958d ago (Edited 4958d ago )

I love G.I Joe.

guitarded774958d ago (Edited 4958d ago )

G.I. Joe is a great franchise, but I don't know if it can handle another raping after the horrible movie and even more horrible last video game. I wish they would let someone who understands the franchise give it the treatment it deserves. Also, I think a TPS would be better. What if they did something like Star Wars Battlefront with G.I Joe... all the vehicles, and the environments with the Terror Drome. You can play as standard Cobra infantry and Joe infantry... and if you hit objectives you can play as main characters.

Easy to switch to TPS view in the Brink engine no doubt. Seems a good fit to me - the factions/characters easily fit a Brink scenario. Solid shooting already built - win/win

Hasbro Plans to Shift 1-2 Titles Annually, Wants to Redefine Itself as "Games, IP, Toys"

Toy company Hasbro is seeking to release 1-2 video games per year as soon as 2025, and is looking to invest $125M per year on gaming.

autobotdan322d ago

Shift Transformers Devastation 2 please

Sciurus_vulgaris322d ago

I like collecting Hasbro’s Star Wars figures, they are generally of good quality. I would like to see Hasbro make figures from my favourite game franchises, if they can get the licenses.

just_looken321d ago

Guess you forgot the skylanders/disney day's

TheColbertinator322d ago

I welcome Hasbro as a new competitive publisher despite my concerns about how they treated Larian

just_looken321d ago

larian is nothing in the last 4 years

-90% of wizard of the coast fired

- my little pony changed into a dei nightmare is now on skeleton crew all og's gone story/direction destroyed

- transformers has 2 universe no proper marketing and there cartoons are now bob the builder dumpster fires

- go joe is still a dead franchise

-nerf dead nothing like before

- laser tag gear have not seen that in forever

- Monopoly go is doing great because its like crack to some people very casino like game.

- power rangers/pepi peg anyone?

They have lost 2 billion dollars in profit sense 2020 it keeps going down so far this year they only made 700million

They are taking everything that made them cash then flushing in down the crapper for chasing trends/esg score.

Michiel1989321d ago

Larian was treated fine, it's everyone else at Hasbro that wasn't.

just_looken321d ago

They wanted to make dlc but had to cut ties right after the wizzard mass layoff's does that sound like a great relationship to you?

Michiel1989321d ago

Larian refused to make an expansion partly because of how other non-Larian employees got treated, Larian is in such a good position that they had all the cards.

excaliburps321d ago

I think they are going to try and bank on the Baldur's Gate name to try and squeeze some money from it. I mean, if they can't get a good developer behind it, they will drive the name into the ground, no?

jznrpg320d ago

More companies making more games the better. Not sure how it will turn out but you never know. Sometimes they improve sometimes they don’t but I want companies to keep trying either way. Preferably single player games

Hasbro Developing A "Really Cool D&D Game"; Will Follow In Baldur's Gate 3 Footsteps

A Hasbro executive has said in an interview that it is working on a D&D game. He credited Baldur's Gate 3 for showing demand for the genre.

phoenixwing446d ago

Their greedy hands won't be able to make a game without it. Then they'll blame anything but themselves.

Inverno447d ago

As predicted, and so it begins. As with every great game before it, many games will be made thanks to executives that don't really have the understanding of why it was great, only that it was popular so it must be copied.

anast447d ago (Edited 447d ago )

Yeah, I doubt that. Has anyone tried to play NeverWinter Nights F2P game?

Daeloki446d ago

I have tried multiple times, each time only because I somehow always end up forgetting how bad it really is...

Runechaz446d ago

Will fail if its not BG3 quality and deep.

-Weird:

“To clarify, comments that suggest Transformers games have been lost were made in error,” Hasbro’s official statement reads.

“We apologise to Activision and regret any confusion – they’ve been great partners, and we look forward to future opportunities to work together.”

-So I guess the Transformer games will eventually come to Gamepass?

P_Bomb681d ago

Hasbro seem open to working with Activision. I’m optimistic now.

Soy681d ago

Hasbro just released new figures of the WFC/FOC game designs and they're doing well, so.......

--Onilink--681d ago

Given their comments on the topic, it seems very likely

ZwVw681d ago

The initial claims of lost source code didn't make much sense anyhow. The Cybertron titles were re-released for PS4 and XB1 digitally back in 2016. So Activision/High Moon lost the source codes after just seven years?

FinalFantasyFanatic681d ago

I would love a new Transformers game that was like the Cybertron games, really miss that series (still have it on my Steam account).

Knightofelemia681d ago

War and Fall of Cybertron are classics the shitty movie games are the ones that should be lost.
