Transformers: Devastation Review I Hey Poor Player

Hey Poor Player's Francis DiPersio writes - "Being a child of the ’80s, few television series stole quite as many hours from my formative years as Transformers managed to. Hasbro’s line of hulking, shape-shifting machines dominated my toybox, as they did countless other kids of the era. So when Activision and PlatinumGames revealed they were working together on a beat-’em-up set against the backdrop of the G1 universe, they had my attention.

Boy, was I not disappointed."

I think the addition of a Witch Time-style element is huge. It definitely adds a whole new level of depth to the game.

3-4-53867d ago

One of the most beautiful looking games of 2015.

BlackTar1873867d ago

i will be trying this game out. I really liked Transformer fall of cybertron last gen the sequel was kind of a let down. But this i hope can give me that same feeling as cybertron

dead_pixels3867d ago

If you're a fan of PlatinumGames' previous brawlers and Transformers you're in for a treat, so long as you don't mind a brief campaign.

camel_toad3867d ago (Edited 3867d ago )

Yeh very brief, maybe 4-5hrs at most. It's fun while it lasts - but even being so short the repetition of enemies and lack of variety in the scenery wears on you quickly.

Id suggest waiting till it hits $20.

BlackTar1873867d ago

Is there MP?

The 1st Cyberton game MP was awesome and super underrated. The 2nd was pretty bad.

dead_pixels3867d ago

@BlackTar187 - I wish there was. It'd honestly compliment the game quite well, as there are many areas where you're accompanied by other Autobots.

Izalith3867d ago

Yes. I do love the work from Platinum Games, and I love Transformers. I preordered the game for like 5 weeks ago!

dead_pixels3867d ago

Enjoying the game as much as we did in our review period?

Izalith3867d ago

I haven't got the game yet.
But from recent games from Platinum games, and have simply loved them all and Im a huge fan of war for cybertron and fall of cybertron, so my guess I can't go wrong with this title

oasdada3867d ago

4-5 hrs campaign, repetitive enemies, repetitive environments, 50$, 4/5? what a load of baloney

dead_pixels3867d ago (Edited 3867d ago )

Our score falls in line with the vast majority of other publication's impressions of the game.

As for repetitive enemies, that's' wholly untrue. Devastation constantly introduces new enemy types and villains from the series' history which remains one of the game's strongest points throughout the eperience. Furthermore, our playthrough was roughly six hours - not including the the time we spent in the game's wide array of challenge mode courses.

20 Rarest & Most Expensive PS4 Games

The rarest and most expensive PS4 games you can find. That is, if you can find afford them.

Many of these are available on other platforms like the PS3, 360 XBO... so no need for the PS4 version if you want to just play it.

If you want to just have it for the sake of saying you have an expensive piece, then.... sure. I will say though, anything LRG I dont count as all they do is re-release other peoples work. They used to do their own games, but found it more lucrative to re-press games with their own name on it. That is just glorified reproductions / bootlegs.

Activision's Transformers Games Have Been Relisted On Xbox And Steam Stores

Activision's Transformers games have been relisted on the Xbox and Steam stores, suggesting they could be available in the future.

Inverno674d ago

Aw snap, i pirated the first game since I couldn't get it on steam but couldn't get it to work. Guess i don't gotta go out of my way now. Now if only SONY worked with em to port over Edge of Time or remastered Shattered and Edge.

The bots have returned!

*slow dramatic falling to the floor*

Inverno674d ago

"please add .com" what a well mannered bot.

CobraKai674d ago (Edited 674d ago )

WTF? I’ve been wanting to replay Fall/War games. So bummed they didn’t make em backwards compatible. I think imma have to dig out my 360 out of storage

P_Bomb674d ago

Really wish they’d finish off the Fall/War run as a trilogy. The IP’s being wasted on mediocre games.

CobraKai674d ago

Yeah. Didn’t they try and merge the movie game and the Cybertron game for Dark of the Moon or something?

P_Bomb674d ago

I think they tried, but that’s one game I never played. Which is funny cuz I have the other movie games. Last TF game I bought was Devastation.

FinalFantasyFanatic673d ago

I really loved those games, I have them on my Steam account, but I wish they made more games like that.

ActualWhiteMan674d ago

Definitely don’t see them on steam…

The Best Games You Can't Officially Buy Anymore

From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."

Terry_B1816d ago

You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.

CorndogBurglar1816d ago (Edited 1816d ago )

Its not about games you can't play. Its about games you can't officially buy anywhere.

Terry_B1816d ago

The author changed it actually

Army_of_Darkness1815d ago

Who needs to buy these games anyway? Most of them are average at best and won't really be missed.

littletad1816d ago (Edited 1816d ago )

It says buy, not play though. You can't purchase Deadpool or the Simpsons game anymore. Unless you have a 360 for the simpsons or a physical copy of deadpool, or purchased it before it was delisted.

shuvam091816d ago

Look at his comment. It's from 9 hours ago. Article goes back 4 hours. Title might have been changed after realising the mistake

isarai1816d ago

One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.

NecrumOddBoy1816d ago

The original memes to the moon game. Loved NNB on PS3.

FreeckyCake1816d ago

I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.

Knightofelemia1816d ago (Edited 1816d ago )

Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.

CorndogBurglar1816d ago

I had the X-Men arcade game on my 360. I don't know if Xbox Live is still a thing or not, and of it is, I don't know of they still sell X-Men. But it was deinitely on Xbox Live at some point.

Knightofelemia1816d ago (Edited 1816d ago )

If you had X-Men before you can redownload it from your transaction history on the 360 Microsoft did not castrate the 360 from online. That is how I was able to redownload the old TMNT arcade game to my 360 you can't play it on XB1 or Series X but you can still access it for sure on the 360.
