Q: Possible to re-release the Activision TF games to coincide with Gamer Edition?
A: Sadly, apparently 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. Hope is that now that the deal is moving forward with Microsoft and Xbox that they’ll go through all of the archives and every hard drive to find it all, because it’s an easy Game Pass add. We want those games back up for people to have a chance to play.

That sucks. Those games were awesome

 

[Puscifer]

Still want devastation to make a reappearance

 

[Red5]

Type transformers in the Windows search bar and let it run for a few days.

 

[Gojiira]

Game Pass…Right these were multiplatform…Better fucking release on Switch and PS5 when they find them the fucking assholes…

 

[Zathalus]

Game preservation is in the fucking toilet.

 

[Sorcerer]

Weird, I'm sure they are paying a license fee for these games if they can immediately throw them on Gamepass. Oh, yeah, there lost in a closet somewhere, we will find someday, (maybe).

 

[violence]

So.. like square, it would be easier just to reverse engineer the games rather than sift through all those porn torrent hard drives?

 

[adamsapple]

This is so disheartening. And dumb.

 

[DGrayson]

M+A data rooms, not just for acquisition docs and Financials.

LAME!

Woops

 

[ManaByte]

More fake news. Hasbro says it’s not true. Which makes since as they’ve already remastered one of them.

Activision losing Transformers games comments an "error," Hasbro says

Hasbro's recent comments regarding Activision having lost a number of Transformers games "were made in error," TrueAchievements has been told. [updated]

Phil Spencer needs to put the foot down on Bobby K so he tells him where he hid the source codes.

"Where the fuck are the Transformers-games Bobby? Where's the source codes Bobby? We need ammo for Game Pass, CoD ain't going live until Sonys damn contract is up!

 

[A.Romero]

As an IT professional I'm surprised that these things happen with such valuable products. I mean, HDD? Cloud storage is like a fraction of a dollar per GB...

 

[Skifi28]

Cloud storage is like a fraction of a dollar per GB...

Yeah but both games are like 20GB combined. That must be over 7 dollars, not worth it.

 

[RoboFu]

War of cybertron was awesome… fall .. not so much.

 

[A.Romero]

Yeah but both games are like 20GB combined. That must be over 7 dollars, not worth it.

You know? Going for the fastest object base storage on AWS it would be a whooping $ .46 USD per month. That's right, not even 50 cents.

You could go even cheaper ($ .08 USD per month) if you are willing to wait up to 4 hours for a download to be ready which would be the advisable solution in this case given that they are not accessing that info very often.

But who will pay for it? Bobby? Bobby already poor enough.

 

[Skifi28]

But who will pay for it?

Most likely Mexico.

[Beechos]

See now this wouldn't have happened if they backed it up in the cloud lol.

 

[Ristifer]

Activision… what a bunch of fucks. Someone get these games out again. Literally the only reason I still have my 360 laying around on the floor.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Iconic Transformers games?

 

[Dice]

I have Fall of Cybertron on Steam. Better than all the movies.

 

[Unknown?]

Game Pass…Right these were multiplatform…Better fucking release on Switch and PS5 when they find them the fucking assholes…

It's okay, this ACTUALLY adds to gamer choice and is pro-consumer!

 

[Hudo]

I mean, look at where the tapes with the raws for the cutscenes of Command & Conquer and Red Alert 1 were found:
EA/Jim Vesella thought these were lost, too. Turns out there were literally in some "catch-all"-storage room at the EA studio in Los Angeles.



He filmed it with his phone. It's pretty sad that no one apparently gave a shit. No wonder the source codes of Tib Sun and RA2 were lost.
