Activision has released a transforming fact sheet on Transformers: The Game. This fact sheet covers the PC, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, PSP, Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the game.
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
I originally stated I had no high hopes for it. I mean after all it is a movie based game and we all know how those typically turn out (exception Spiderman).
That said, the recent video I have scene along with a recent trailer for the game actually has me starting to think they actually make this a good game. Graphically while its not the best game I have scene, it certainly is much better than I thought it would be. And gameplay from what I have scene so far seems pretty decent.
Well here is to hoping this game actually comes through!
Until we see the actual gameplay videos ( not screenshots, trailers ) comments should only be based on how the graphics look. Still hoping though that this game will deliver the goods and not just ride on the back of the movie... Because most Mech-games ( anyway ) never had a very long shelf-life but with this is, the overriding factor that would make or break this title is it's popularity with the masses.
