I have soft spot for the CGI, but BW excels in its voice acting, characters and writing.
I don't have access to the game or a higher-than-1080p screen right now but both the devs and some people on the Steam forums are reporting the opposite. Then again, there might be some glitch because some other posters apparently can't go beyond 1080p.

Yeah, my max is 1080p. On other games I can go higher, it might just be the way this game is made that detects the native resolution and won't let you push it further, I suppose?

It's awesome to hear him do the voice in his standup routine.

Yes, Saito did not work on Korra though. Eiro Shirahama worked on Korra I believe. Plus I'm pretty sure the budget of that game was much less, hence the $15 dollar price tag.
It does in a lot of ways share similarities to Korra such as the linear levels and random driving/riding on beast sections, but overall I think Transformers Devastation has more polish and the combat is a lot more rewarding feeling.

OH MAN THIS SHIT FEELS SO GOOD
I'll upload some gfys in a second once I get to a save point, but goddamn, combat is great.

I agree. The tagline is 'Robots in disguise' for a reason. Not much disguise using Cybertronian designs. That Animated show looks about the fucking worst.
I keep on praying for a G1 Transformers fighter, somebody has to do that someday...
Something like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, massive combos, tag teams, finishing moves, the lot.
Have you actually watched it? It's the best non-CGI Transformers cartoon, giant chins and all.

I re-watched Beast Wars a couple years ago for the first time since the 90s. Season 1 I'll totally agree with you, it's not very good.
Season 2 and 3 though, those are fantastic.
Nah, just commenting on how it looks. I'll give it a go if it's on Netflix.

Thing the about prime for me was arcee. She annoyed me to no end and the cast was so small that I got bored with them. And miko was worst than Daniel. She ranks up there with the armada kids for me as worst humans ever.

I'm old so I'm very partial to G1 aesthetically, but animated was actually really great. My wife and I were super bummed when it's run ended.
I'd love to see G1 (IDW) designs with the animated series' writers.

It's cool that we're getting an adult-ish version of Combiner Wars on Machinima, but man, I would kill for a Last Stand of the Wreckers / More than Meets the Eye series

Lol he was one of my favorites. No one moves Lugnut!
Wow, I'm really enjoying this. Started in Commander, difficulty feels just right. If I mess up a few times, I usually die, but it's not too hard to manage crowds and boss patterns so far. Made it through I think half of chapter 1 so far. Taking my time, grabbing the collectibles and optional stuff.
I think one thing which sets this game apart from many other Platinum games is that it is a pure action brawler. The way encounters are designed are simpler, but still extremely fun. It's hard to explain exactly, but I would say character action games have added a lot of layers over the years, and this feels more like Final Fight or Streets of Rage. The characters control differently enough, have their own movesets, but it just feels fun to fight encounter after encounter because the brawling is satisfying. It also helps that it's awesome celshaded G1 style Transformers.
No. Sorry, this is totally a western-centric product. I don't think there are any Japanese options at all.

It somehow took me 2-3 hours to complete Chapter 1. I even missed a mission because fuck. I'm going to assume all the 4-5 hour playtimes are from people on normal. I've kind of gotten my ass kicked a lot on Hard. Maybe I'll be on the way up now that I can switch weapons since the first weapons did piddly damage. Second time fighting
was much easier since I could actually do decent damage. There's a lot of nonsense going on in the weapon crafting too. At least it seems easy enough to handle and isn't too insane.
The music is also great and I got too hype at
I also somehow avoided the knowledge of chapters being kind of super open ended? It's typical character action open ended so you can revisit areas for secret missions, but way more of that. I didn't suspect that all.

Devastator and his drills. He fucking does the gauntlet move of hitting them together to make sparks. It's great.

Cool from the gameplay videos, it seems to be way above Korra indeed.

I hope we get more dlc skins imagine hot rod jazz or sunstreaker in this.
Animated is a very goofy and lighthearted series, and after a while you get used to the animation because it fits the writing style. There are also a ton of references to earlier Transformers series, especially G1. One could call Animated a love letter to Transformers as a whole.

prowl sacrificing himself really got me bummed. Loved his character arc
I'm surprised how good the pre-order skins look. I would actually be interested in a costume pack for the game if they have good stuff lined up.

Same here. I'd spend money in a heartbeat

How dare you
Do they have the same grunts and voice clips as the base character? Download size seemed surprisingly big from people posting PSN screenshots.

Well I can't upload my other clips because I forgot Gfycat has a 15 second limit, so I'll find other sources for those. A shame because I really got my combo going on in those.

Oh come on. BW had local commercial grade cgi even when it was new. It's never, ever looked good.
Let's not even get started on the mech design.
my brother had the optimal optimus toy as a kid and he loved it so, so much
i literally can't even
I haven't tested it all out yet, but when you select them on the character select screen, they have their own unique one-liners, so there is probably more unique voice clips. I only just selected Sideswipe's Red Alert skin before I quit.

Huh, that's really cool. I'd definitely be up for packs of character+weapon+a couple of challenges. They certainly have plenty to choose from.
