Transformers Devastation

Platinum means it "should" be good, however.. it doesn't look good in its current form. Same director as Metal Gear Rising though, so pedigree exists. Also, retro 80s Transformers means we have to now all listen to the greatest montage song of all time! Yes even better than Rocky 4

I really hope they get Dare and Touch in or really any of the songs from the movie soundtrack...Except Dare to be Stupid.
 
Ha, I agree, it would be great to have the soundtrack from the animated movie. I would also like if they got together with IDW and used some of their material for dialogue in the game, such as Hot Rod's incessant use of "Til All Are One" and so on. Definitely cant wait for this one.
 
I'm so getting this day one, I'm a die hard Transformers G1 fan. To me G1 is the only true transformers, but I can tolerate the others. It would be bad ass if it has the movie soundtrack. Hell I'm ok with dare to be stupid especially if wreck-gar was playable.
 
Day one purchase especially since I loved the animations and fighting in Korra even though it lacked a budget. This title should have a large enough budget to flesh the game out completely.

I really, really, really liked Beast Wars. I think it's vastly superior to G1.
 
A cartoon fighting game?

Sorry but no Michael Bay + no Shaya Le Boof = no sale

Really? The writing is SO GOOD. Especially in the second and third seasons.

It was one those things I was so engrossed in transformers with G1. For me the idea of Transformers not being cars and planes pissed me off at the time. So ultimately I can never give beast wars a real chance.
 
Can't wait for this one, although I'm not to sure about what the quality of the PC version is going to be like considering Legend of Korra.

I thought Armada was pretty good, too. I'm just disappointed I didn't get into it until the last 2 seasons where there was a lot of fan service. The comic book series from IDW was amazing. The game based on it on the PS2 was also pretty good. Being able to infiltrate and fight Tidal Wave as an aircraft carrier the size to accomodate giant robots was a highlight of the game for me, as was fighting Starscream. As a diehard G1 fan, myself, I can approve of and recommend both Beast Wars and Armada.

You misspelled Beast Machines :p. I just caught a glimpse of that series one morning and checked out just as quickly when they mentioned "bringing nature" back to Cybertron :rolleyes:.

Eh, the ones I hated were the crappy anime ones that came out after Beast Wars, but before the most recent show with Peter Cullen back as Optimus.

Beast Machines wasn't THAT bad once it came out of DVD. The show didn't work too well in the standard weekly format because not a lot happened within the 22 minute episode. However, the arc was kinda solid and it gave Beast Wars an ending. Still didn't care for how that villianized Rhinox.

The biggest problem with Beast Machines is coming off of that great cliff hanger ending for Beast Wars is just never felt right. The first I don't know half of season 1 I watched was terrible and I couldn't keep watching it. I was also 15 when Beast Machines started airing so I was already well into a point where I stopped caring about most American cartoons and got super heavy into anime. Even by the last season of Beast Wars my interest in that stuff was waning, I think I missed like half of the last season of Beast Wars as it was airing.
 
Hmm... Anime/Ninja game? I dunno...

I love the cartoon style and the G1 builds. I think it really captures the "real" Transformers universe.

Having been disappointed with every other Transformers game out there I gotta keep my expectations low.

The last season of Beast Wars was only 13 episodes. HAHA. However, that showed aired in an awkward manner. Most shows did and keeping up with them was tricky.

Beast Machines definitely wasn't that great. Though, I still think it was greatly improved upon DVD release. Being able to binge watch it helped its arc show.

I've been an animation fan most of my life. Never put one countries output over anothers. Mainframe was doing really good work during that time period. Timm/Dini were still pumping out DCAU material. It was a good time period for American Shows. I still think WB dropped the ball with Invasion America. The show was solid.

One of these days I intent to pick up the Shout! release of Beast Machines and give it another chance. I did manage to go back and rewatch all of Beast Wars about 5 years ago though.

Teen Titants got me back into the DCAU but I completely missed JL and JLU until 6-7 years ago. After Batman TAS shifted to the much less dark Adventures of Batman and Robin and especially The New Batman Adventures I kind of drifted away from the DCAU for a few years. I even missed all but the first few episodes of Batman Beyond. That is one show I wish I could tell my past self to just sit down and give it more of a chance. I didn't find out until much later how damn good it was.
 
Justice League is amazing. Especially, JLU.

Batman Beyond was the shiz. Loved that show and was bummed they didn't make it into a film. Would prefer that over this Batman V Superman bullshit.
 
Transformers: War for Cybertron & Fall of Cybertron were both based mostly on G1 Transformers and were pretty fun games.

As far as the lore is concerned it took place prior to G1, but I get your point. I had a great time with WFC and its multiplayer. I never got around to playing FOC, though. It's too bad there is going to be no multiplayer in Devastation.

Ah, true.

You should play FOC. Improved over the first game in almost every way. Each character feels unique. Plus who wouldn't want to play as Grimlock!
 
I didn't play much of this. I might enjoy this if I had a controller. It's great for the nostalgic memories - looks and sounds great, but too much of a console port for my tastes.

Never really cared for Beast Machines. Beast Wars had some cool characters like Dinobot, Depth Charge, and some others; they died in glory as well. Beast Machines didn't have much.
