Transformers Devastation (Platinum Games) - First gameplay from IGN

The only thing I'm kind of concerned about at this point is the environments. Everything we've seen thus far has been big squarish arenas, and this game in supposed to be coming out this fall. Unless they are holding a lot back, that may simply be the design they've chosen to go with.
 
A lot better than I expected, look forward to hearing hands on impressions because honestly, all Platinum games LOOK good, but how things are paced (aka Korra) matters a lot as well.

There are some screens from Platinum's site that show different areas.

I'm concerned Platinum will still have their 1080p lock on the PC side. Extremely short-sighted policy considering the platform.

Theybalso lock the framerate to 60, but that doesn't effect as many people.

I hate when I have niggling concerns on the port quality and I can't just get excited for the game.
 
I just don't get the complaints about the environments. It is 1980s cartoon city rendering. They may not have stayed true to the robots' depicted combat abilities (and for this I am extremely grateful) but what I'm seeing otherwise looks exactly like a G1 episode. We've also seen nothing in between battles either, so...
 
Steam page is up

Play again and again: 5 difficulty levels with overhauls in enemy composition, combined with a deep customization system, means hours of intense gameplay.

Platinum is one of the few companies out there who does difficulty levels right.

Also first I'm hearing about peter cullen, frank welker and FUCKING PLAYABLE GRIMLOCK. I'm glad I clicked on this thread.

Haha oh lawdy, I think your post just about summed up my feelings on that.
 
Is this a fighting game or something closer to Wonderful 101? I can't really figure it out.

It's an action game, I mean kind of like Wonderful 101, but I don't think anything is really like Wonderful 101 exactly. Think more along the lines of Bayonetta, DMC, Rising, etc. It's not a 2 on 2 fighting game if that's what you mean by fighting.
 
Can Platinum get the GaoGaiGar license? I want to see what they could do with ChoRyuJin and Gooooooooldioooooon hammaaaaaah
 
Kenji Saito just tweeted this stuff:
Demos of Transformers: Devastation will be available at the Microsoft and Hasbro booths at Comic-Con.

The Microsoft booth will even have a special Transformers: Devastation Xbox One skin. http://goo.gl/kqFY6W

We’ll also show a new Transformers: Devastation trailer.

Nice, with any luck we'll get to see all the chase/standard level stuff from the E3 demo and find out whether it's also like Bayo or more like Korra.
Also Grimlock
 
The insecticons and grimlock look great.

Environments are still clashing with the characters but nice to see some variety.
 
Cannot wait. That looks so damn fun. Also, it sounded like Frank Welker is back as Megatron!
Wait... Frank Welker was (and still is) the original voice of Megatron? I only knew him as the guy who could do animal voices insanely well and did most of the animal voices (as well as Nibbler's) in Futurama. Had no fucking idea!

No shit, mind fucking blown.

Fake edit: Checked out the wiki for the TF movie and he also voiced Soundwave. Guess it makes sense for them to get him in for this game.



On that note, while they're getting original voice actors, I'd love to see a cameo (hah, almost wrote "Camaro") by Hot Rod voiced by Judd Nelson. And Wreck-Gar with Eric Idle, because why not.
