Anybody know any details, or seen any Screenshots?

[WalkingDead]

Nothing yet...probably won't be anything about it until close to December or so.

[JediXAngel]

Maybe at Comic-Con?

[Dr Lee]

Hasn't Comic-con already happened?:confused:

[dr venture]

Got Info


As has been previously announced, Activision will be releasing a game based on the Transformers movie for many next gen and portable gaming formats. The "Establishing the Buzz for Collaborative Franchises" panel at the Hollywood and Games Summit provided some information on a more exact release date for the game and Activision's involvement with Digital Domain. Gamespot have written an article about the panel and here is the important bit:

Then it was onto more practical matters--namely, the problems that arise trying to develop a game based on a major motion picture. Kassoy offered an ongoing project as an example. The said Activision is actively sharing all assets of the upcoming Transformers film with Digital Domain, the production company Transformers director Michael Bay recently bought. Kassoy said Activision is shooting for a "day and date" release alongside the film on July 4, 2007.

I can see how you came to this conclusion considering all the past Playstation failures.

First details for you... Plus a playable version coming next week.

It's been exactly a year since Activision last said anything about its game based on Michael Bay's upcoming robot movie, Transformers -- and even then, explicit information about the title was closely guarded (specific consoles hadn't been named; the developers weren't identified, etc). But after 52 weeks of nothing, our contacts at Activision have finally come clean and given us a couple of details to work with.

Officially known as Transformers: The Game, the Traveller's Tales-developed actioner is scheduled for just about every platform out there (PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360) and will come out this summer with nearly identical content. Its storyline will follow the movie closely, giving players control over both the Autobots and the Decepticons as they choose to either protect the earth or pimp slap it.

The final number of playable characters is still unknown, but Activision has confirmed that Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, and Ironhide are among them. Each bot has their own set of special skills and abilities too, and gamers will be able to switch between robot and vehicle form at any time. Fully destructible environments (including entire buildings and vehicles) and the ability to use wreckage as weapons are also expected.

Combat mechanics still aren't very clear, but developers do say that each character's scale and weight affects how they fight. Both ranged and melee battles are possible as well, and there are a few other elements that haven't been expanded on yet.

Handheld fans should also take note that PSP and DS versions are in the works from Savage and Vicarious Visions respectively. No details about the Dual Screen edition were made public, wowever, we do know that the PSP edition boasts 20 playable Autobots and Decepticons and follows an expanded telling of the movie's storyline (complete with bot customization and ad hoc/ infrastructure multiplayer modes).

In addition to the info above, we also managed to uncover a couple of other tidbits when we spoke with the game's producer in an email Q&A session. To read it, follow this link and be sure to check back later today for hands-on impressions of the build that will make a public debut at the New York Toy Fair this coming weekend.

Check the link for the Q&A for more info.

sounds like a XBOX fanboy to me.

the system has been out for a little over 3 months. and 2 of those 3 months are slow for retailers, who use that time to do inventory and prepare for the upcoming year. now if it was a year from now and it still hasnt reached some of its potential, then you could be warrented in saying that.

seriously, what with playstation's history of failure and all...:whatever:

[nosebleed.]

Its going to be on the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, PSP, NDS and PC. I'm interested to see if it'll take advantage of the Wii capabilities as much as Madden did.
