Compared to the mediocre Transformers games currently available on Xbox 360 and PS3, War for Cybertron shares more in common with Gears of War than it does with its predecessors. It looks meatier, moves faster and has a much greater emphasis on in-your-face spectacle than the monotone, often-static gameplay of Revenge of the Fallen.
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.
Neil writes - "Granted, it was fully expected to contain rather poor deals in comparison to last week’s Spring Sale, but I’m not sure anyone expected it to be so lacking in both quality and quantity. But hey, there has to be at least one decent deal in place for Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners to grab doesn’t there?"
Now is a great time to catch up on these undersold titles.
