IGN recently emailed producer Andy Burrows about the new and upcoming game Transformers.
"Andy Burrows: Yes, there will be two distinct campaigns for each of the different factions. The Autobot campaign follows the plot of the movie."
"Burrows: It is really important for us to convey a real sense of scale with the game and in order to do that we made everything destructible and interactive - buildings can be smashed, objects such as lampposts can be ripped from the ground and used as weapons, cars and buses can be picked up and thrown at attacking helicopters. It's quite easy to cause a massive amount of havoc, but you'll run the risk of ticking off the police, the military or other forces."
"IGN: Lastly, will the transformation sound be taken directly from the old cartoon? That sound is seriously awesome.
Burrows: You'll have to wait and see."
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
even when i was reading the post i was making the sound lol.
If its a completely destructible environ this should be cool.
I think the game sounds wicked and im totally hyped for the movie!
