Interesting.

I can forgive some of the design choices since it takes place on Cybertron and they are in "cybertron mode". I would still prefer an actual G1 Transformers game...nothing beats the originals

[BWPS]

Why would they look like vehicle from Earth if theyd never been there?

JK I don't care, if this game is good I reckon I'll pee.

I'm definitly getting this game for my PC once it comes out...  

Plus I'm sure if a company wanted to make a series of franchise games for Transformers then starting the first one on Cybertron would make the most sense. I'm sure that an easter egg at the end of the game probably is a variation of the Ark sequence where they end up crashing on Earth awaiting the next chapter of the story if the game is a success.

Well...if they hew somewhat close to that great comic series that covered the War Within, it should have an awesome story.  I have to say, I'm more than a little excited about this.  A game that has some possibility of being good and using the G1 characters?  I'm all over it!  However, I would REALLY love an actual G1 game.  Still, as CQ says, there is always the chance that if this does well that will be the next place they go!

If the gameplay is anything close I will be first in line.   Even more G1esque.

Now this is how the movies should have been.

[BentonGrey]

Awesome!  There is still a bit too much gray, but at least they don't seem afraid to give the characters some color.  I hope we see a good cast of characters.

[Podmark]

Nice, it appears Optimus has his ideal voice for this game. This could be very cool.
Not happy with Megatron's voice though.

If you order from Best Buy you'll get Jazz:

[gengoro]

Looks great. Really hoping they are doing like the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance where pre-ordering lets you unlock certain characters from the start and the rest through GAMEPLAY. 

[BentonGrey]

Hey, look at that!  Jazz actually looks like Jazz!  I really hope this game is as awesome as it should be....also, I echo Gengoro's sentiments.  It would really annoy me if you couldn't get all the characters eventually, no matter when you ordered.  I'm really glad this is coming out for PC.  I'd be heartbroken if it wasn't, because I will DEFINITELY buy this.

It is. And at 20 bucks cheaper.

But I wish Jazz was a Pontiac Solstice. It's the awesomest looking car ever made ever.

Watched a couple videos about this game tonight... I'm sold. My only hope is that the mulitplayer is >close< to the video provided. This game looks sweet.

[BentonGrey]

Howdy guys, here are a few new things, which seem sorta' cool:

I hope they draw plenty of inspiration from the Dreamweave books.

How many of these guys do you recognize?   I've got all but two.

[JeyNyce]

Starscream, ThunderCraker, SkyWarp, Iron Hide, JetFire??.  Sideswipe.  That's all I can tell.  What do I win?

Soundwave looks hardcore!

[BentonGrey]

Man....I love this!  The characters actually look like themselves.

Which one is Starscream?  This guy?:

Good job picking the others out.  I can't figure these guys out:

[RTTingle]

Hmmm...

Which one is Starscream?  This guy?:
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/transformerswarforcybertron/images/0/17/

Red, gold and white w/ an Autobot insignia?  No, thats Jet/Skyfire.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/transformerswarforcybertron/images/0/19/

Going by the yellow coloring and the intakes on the side of the head, Sunstreaker.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/transformerswarforcybertron/images/0/18/

My best guess is Skywarp, based off the purple color scheme.

[BentonGrey]

RTT, I'm pretty sure that this guy is Jetfire:

And that this guy is Skywarp:
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/transformerswarforcybertron/images/0/15/
Sunstreaker was my only guess for the gold guy too, so I'm thinking you're probably right about him.

As for the first one, remember, this game is supposed to detail Starscream's joining of the Decepticons, so that MIGHT be him early on in the story.

[gengoro]

Yellow guy is Demolisher. One of the exclusives. Never seen him before.

[JeyNyce]

They must have change the pics.  Where Jetfire is Starscream was there.  He looked just like SkyWarp & ThunderCracker, but had his Red/White/ Blue colors.
Red, White, Blue? - Is StarScreamer American? LOL!

War for Cybertron PC System Requirements

[BentonGrey]

Anyone tried the Xbox Live demo yet?  I can't WAIT for this to come out!

[Podmark]

I haven't but that's because I don't really play multiplayer, if it'd been a single mission I'd have been all over it. It's out in another week or two isn't?

[BentonGrey]

The game is out in two days, and I got a chance to play the demo on my friend Kurt's 360 tonight.  How can I sum up my experience and first impression of the game?  IT WAS AWESOME!  Ha, I was a little wary at first, but it really is an absolute blast.  They actually made transforming important, fun, and every bit as awesome as it should be, plus the basic gameplay, being largely cribbed from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, is a blast.  I converted a roomful of my friends, all of whom were thinking I was just being a nerd and that this game wasn't going to be particularly good, and as they got a chance to play one by one, they all sang its praises. 

I've got a question for y'all, though.  Does anyone know if there will be any mode that will allow you to play with four guys on the same machine?  It just seems stupid for it not to have a way to do a single XBox four player match, but I haven't seen anything about that.  I think that MAYBE the escalation mode might serve that purpose, but I can't find any definite answers.

Anyway, the game is awesome, try the demo, and buy the game itself to support people making GOOD products out of those 80's properties!

[JeyNyce]

Target had the PC version for sale on Saturday.  I was tempted to pick it up but decided not to.  I'm getting the 360 version, because I want Jazz and I can play with you guys online.

[BentonGrey]

I'm getting the PC version, but I imagine my friend will get the 360 version....although I am really beginning to wonder if the only way we'll be able to play together on his 360 is with co-op....

[gengoro]

Only online multiplayer for 360, PS3 and PC. No offline at all sadly.
