IGN sits down with the director and producers to show off actual gameplay footage from the title. It's a full retail game, and draws inspiration from the G1 cartoon, the IWD comics, etc. The footage shows battles again Constructicons, Megatron, Soundwave, etc. There will be transformations in combat, and it can be used for charging up moves, evasion, combo extension, etc.

 

[BakkaGames]

Better than I expected.

 

[Tizoc]

Optimus Prime has a Shoryuken
HE HAS A SHORYUKEN
YOU CAN SHORYUKEN DEVESTATOR IN THE FACE

Shaping up to be among my among my GotY contenders X3

 

[Delio]

Looks like fun!

 

[duckroll]

My impressions of the footage from the previous thread:

Looks fucking great. The seamless chaining of transformations in the combos, dodging, etc is fantastic. I think the only concern left would be level design - everything shown so far looks more like a basic arena brawler rather than stages with proper interesting level design like Bayonetta and MGR. They've definitely nailed the combat and the animations. Even if it's just an arena brawler, the boss fights should be a lot fun.

Hey man, Prime already did a standing fierce to Megatron in the '86 Movie.

 

[Peff]

Roboyonetta...

Platinum show demos are usually arenas, so there's still the question of the level design but so far so great.

 

[MrBadger]

I'M TRUCKING INVINCIBLE

 

[E_Darkness]

I'm glad this is a full retail game. This could actually be pretty damn great. I'm liking the pseudo-witch time Bumblebee and Sideswipe have. I'm liking the vehicle combos and the firearms. It basically looks like Bayonetta. I'm interested to see some Grimlock gameplay. I'm a bit worried that because there's 5 playable characters that the combat might be shallow.

Platinum just needs to work their way up the Activision chain so we can get Spider-Man. They do seem to have given Platinum Games quite a lot of freedom in making this.

 

[Squishy3]

So what do we call totally not witch-time?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Yo this looks great.

 

[Baloonatic]

Looks like the vehicle transformations are kind of similar functionally to turning into a panther in Bayonetta. Except they've added unique attacks while transformed.

Don't know shit about Transformers but I'll play Platinum games for as long as they make them.

 

[Tuck]

It... actually looks pretty awesome..

 

[lovely ladies]

This looks awesome, it's pure platinum madness.

 

[robotzombie]

I was nervous after the really crappy trailer...

but this is a goddamn platinum game and it looks excellent! I'm all in

 

[Savitar]

Absolutely crazy looking!

Also kinda surreal to see Bumblebee who was always a tiny lil guy originally kicking ass as he is in the trailer.

 

[barneystuta83]

I love it.

 

[Grazzt]

Much better than I expected. I want it NOW!!!

 

[Narag]

OG voices? I'm in.

 

[CelticKnight]

It's the game my inner child always wanted.

I'm not sure that's possible anymore... they seemingly only have the movie license, and now that Marvel is involved they may not even be able to do anything other than strictly solo movie-based games.

Now TMNT on the other hand...

 

[grandwizard]

Too bad the game wasn't revealed with this footage. It's so much better seeing it in motion and how it plays than the stills that had people so worried. Looks great!

 

[Tizoc]

Well one of the Platinum people did say they'd like to make a SpiderGwen game

 

[weevles]

I am excite. Platinum games is taking on everything.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Holy shit this looks amazing! So in!

 

[barneystuta83]

My oh my. They have Primes voice and Bumble Bee's original VA too.

Edit: as well as most of the other original actors.

 

[Sayter]

Tranquish?

I'm down with that.

 

[lupinko]

My oh my. They have Primes voice and Bumble Bee's original VA too.

They pretty much have everybody who is still alive actually.

Ditto.

Guess I was wrong though in the other thread, thought it was more W101, definitely Bayonetta combat which is even better. Looking forward to see more of this.

 

[VeryGooster]

I'm not asking this from a cynical perspective, but I'm genuinely curious if characters like Jazz or Blaster or Jetfire make it in there via DLC.

If it is in any way like Bayonetta's combat I am more or less sold.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Thank you Platinum, thank you.

Edit: So they are going to combine stuff from IDW, Marvel/Hasbro G1 and the show. That is exactly the brand of over the top child cartoon I want Platinum to do, specially since Transformers was not that big in Japan compared with other shows so I am reallly interested for their take on it.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Doesn't look that great tbh but it's great they have the OG VA's back.

 

[Akiller]

Dat Witch time, dat Rakshasa combo.

 

[The Silver]

transformers witch time

 

[New002]

Better than I expected.

Agreed. Looks fun.

transformers witch time

Prime Time?

 

[machemachete]

I may be that guy but I dont like the fact that my G1 transformers are brawling each other in close combat.

G1 was all about shooting and beam rifles

 

[HORRORSHØW]

AUTOBOTS, ROLL OUT!

"Weapons are mapped to the d-pad, and you can have any four items equipped at one time, as long as at least one of them is melee and one is ranged. Prime’s ion blaster made short work of Decepticon jet seekers as they flew by overhead, while ground-based soldiers are easy targets for my energy axe. Platinum plans to include around 150 distinct weapons in the game, including everything from Wheeljack’s wrenches to sniper rifles, homing missiles, and weapons that fire slowing gel."

"I saw a turret sequence in which Optimus Prime took down gathering waves of Insecticons, much like certain old-school arcade games."

"Teleporting back into the city, I’m treated to one last action sequence to play, in which Megatron is fleeing while crouched in the back of the Constructicon Long Haul’s dump-truck bed. The running chase scene has me dodging blasts from Megatron’s fusion cannon as I race to catch up to him. After knocking out Long Haul, I continue to pursue Megatron after he has transformed into a massive silver tank with its turret pointed back at me. The fight ends as I finally catch up and tackle the Decepticon leader."

 

[Stone Ocean]

Bumblebee is fucking Bayonetta

Autobots, LET'S DANCE

 

[weevles]

Yeah my only bummer is that it's Autobot only. Maybe if this game does well, there'll be a Decepticon game in the future.

 

[ACH1LL3US]

Not sure anyone heard but its coming to pc too... sweet!!

 

[HoJu]

This looks good.

 

[Shauni]

I may be that guy but I dont like the fact that my G1 transformers are brawling each other in close combat.

You limited Transformers, you limit life

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Yo what? This looks really good.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I may be that guy but I dont like the fact that my G1 transformers are brawling each other in close combat.

G1 was all about shooting and beam rifles

Yeah this game is crying out for massive spectacle scenes like the stuff from The Wonderful 101.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Looked quite fun an I'm back on board again after that.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

I may be that guy but I dont like the fact that my G1 transformers are brawling each other in close combat.

There was still close combat stuff. Prime used an axe in the pilot.

 

[Regiruler]

Activision gets nintendo characters as syklanders but they can't be bothered to create a port of a cross gen game made by a studio beloved by the console's audience to it.

Fuck Activision

 

[Mellahan]

Sweet Primus.

This is the Transformers game I've always wanted.

I may be that guy but I dont like the fact that my G1 transformers are brawling each other in close combat.

I'll rip out your optics!

 

[F-Pina]

Looking great. And original voices too!
