Transformers: War for Cybertron

Is it possible to rename your .exe with the Steam version? Steam tells me the game's unavailable when I do that. I'm sure there's some config file within steam that lets me use a different .exe name?

I was wondering this too as I also have the Steam version of the game.
 
No Frank Welker means I can't enjoy playing Megatron. Also, what's with all the machine guns? There's no classic Transforming sound, just that lame movie style clink/clanking which is totally weak. The Decepticon/Autobot weapons should only have the classic laser effect associated with each faction too. Maybe I can replace all the game resources if I'm clever but I'm probably not clever enough. Otherwise, I'm not enjoying it very much, it's better with the old soundtrack on it rather than the uninspired orchestral subdued music and jungle drums.

The guns have no oomph, they have no sound to make me feel like I am firing a fusion cannon. When I Transform, I don't feel like they are Transforming. None of that stuff is there and it bugs me every moment I am playing.

I am really regretting the purchase and you can't resell Steam games. Character designs are pretty ugly. The Unreal engine is pretty ugly too. Everything is just badly textured gray metal with some color highlights.
 
Someone just posted this on the Steam board, the devs for T:WFC are going to be playing online on Thursday night via xbox 360 and xbox LIVE. If you have the console version, this would be a great time to ask (ambush) the devs on some PC related questions. 30fps cap, graphics and control customization and some sort of online anti-cheat would be at the top of my list of would likes.

I'd have preferred Frank Welker providing the voice for Megatron and while I agree somewhat with the comments concerning the weapons, I can't say I agree with you concerning their transformations and the engine/graphics being ugly. As for the gray texturing well. Cybertron is gray and was always portrayed that way outside of its golden age.
 
Music is an easy fix, mute in-game music and play The Transformers: The Movie sound track, nothing like fragging to "Dare to be Stupid"! You can find it just about anywhere online for less then $10.

Of course, I recommend something and Amazon breaks (website you request is unavailable), but here is a link for $9.99 download it in DRM free MP3 from Amazon.com:

Do not forget: There are two soundtrack versions I'm aware of. The original version and the "Till all are One" version. It gives you the actual synthesized music from the film rather than the vocal / rock songs alone. It also has a "Live" version of Unicron's Theme and the Death of Optimus Prime theme.

Good luck finding Till All Are One. It was a very, very limited release. I believe it was only available at one of the BotCons in the 90s. Pity too. Seems like it would be an awesome release.
 
I had a chance to buy the Botcon '97 Soundtrack once but I passed up on it stupidly. Luckily, I have the whole thing in mp3 anyway.

The gems that I do actually physically own are the little known counterparts to the Botcon '97 soundtrack, Vince Dicola's Transformations album which is TF:The Movie themes played on piano and also the album of songs that were made for the movie but didn't make it into the final cut or were prototype versions.
 
I just finished the first chapter of the Decepticon campaign. Wow, this game is FUN.

I've actually got it so I don't have to look for it. :)
 
Just got my copy of this on PS3 and am loving it so far in terms of gameplay and action. It is basically what I have always wanted in a transformers game.

Yes yes, its the console version, but at least there are plenty of people to play online with. :p

OK, if you guys are enjoying this, I'm not going to say your opinion is crap. I'm happy you found a game you like, but as far as I'm concerned OMFG this game sucks ass. The camera is horrendous, it hurt my neck and made me sick after about 5 minutes. The lack of control customization is horrid as well.

I'm betting if I could get past the nausea the interface induces I would find a fun game, but I'm just not that much of a masochist.

100% agreed. Single player was ok, multi is just horrible.

I agree with you. The console over the shoulder and to the side cameras always make me sick. I hate these console conventions.
 
As a die-hard G1 Transformers fan, I am a bit disappointed with the game but awash in nostalgia at the content. I don't find myself desiring to play the game in earnest but I'm rewarded with another tidbit of Transformers goodness when I do. I guess it's almost a love/hate thing but I'll continue to trudge forward hoping for a 1986-like payoff somewhere.

What's with the camera angle? Gross.
