orange and blue!

I could have sworn I've already seen this cover somewhere.

I could have sworn I've already seen this cover somewhere.

First thing that came to mind was the Binary Domain cover.

Boxart looks really out of whack somehow....the spacing of it just looks weird and lopsided.

It will be a shame when Acitvision shuts down High Moon in a year.

I thought that at first too, but apparently they're working on a Marvel game now, so they've got another two years at least.

On the bright side, they can go to a publisher who isn't terrible.

Cover art is fantastic. Just mentioned in another post though, isn't it the same week as darksiders 2? I have the money, but I can't justify spending it on two games in one week and sadly I'd go for darksiders every time. Will play it for sure though, eventually.

Week after. Sleeping Dogs is the same week as Darksiders.
Transformers is now the same week as 3DS XL

Will probably wait for reviews on Transformers. I kinda liked the single player of the first one, but hated the multi.

 

[Noisepurge]

have this pre-ordered! just should finish the autobot campaign from the first game ;D

Hmm, maybe this is just a uk problem. Amazon uk is definetely telling me Darksiders 2 is the 21st also. Sleeping Dogs and DS xl are non-problems for me haha.

 

[Ponn]

Dammnit!! I was happy with the original release date because it gave me a couple weeks alone with Darksiders 2.

 

[Hero]

Not feeling the boxart.

 

[mjc]

I'll buy it at a high price.

 

[thetrin]

Man, even Transformers is succumbing to the "dude walking towards the camera" box art craze?

 

[divisionbyzorro]

War for Cybertron was one of my favorite multiplayer experiences this generation.

Hopefully this game can improve upon that formula.

Walk towards the camera box art or turn your back on the box art. Choose wisely.

 

[IblisGinjo]

How was the first game overall? May pick it up on PC.

Make sure you are aiming your one gun, usually on your right hand, either up or hanging down, no exceptions.

Awesome. One of my favorite third person shooters of all time, but I'll admit that it being Transformers was a big reason why

 

[Victrix]

It also had raw but awesome multiplayer

I'm crossing my fingers that they polished it, because with some tinkering, it could be truly amazing

 

[eshwaaz]

So excited for this. I was late to the previous game - just picked it up a couple of weeks ago, since the upcoming game looked so good. I've already played through it twice. It's a great shooter, and a great Transformers game. High Moon did a fantastic job of making both robot and vehicle forms feel relevant and useful.

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

Game has fuckin Metroplex. Bought.

 

[Sora_N]

Not bad, I kinda like it. Will wait for review first I think, I didn't like WfC.

 

[nel e nel]

Someone posted in the other thread that this one doesn't have co-op campaign. Is that right?

EDIT: yep, it has been dropped. Yeesh, this has moved to the 'wait for a sale' list.

Just be glad it's not Arcee's ass and tits focused on the reader in the same image. She's a robot so they could justify how silly that looks.

I'm optimistic, but cautiously so. I really liked the story mode from WFC, but the multiplayer had some real big issues.

[Team Klimt]

Are their known pre-order bonuses yet?

 

[RoboPlato]

Damn, great trailer.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Day 1 homies! cool trailer.

I hope High Moon gets to do a 3rd game, or something when they first get to earth.

Or they can do a straight up animated TF Prime game, with those models and styles.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Ok Gaf so here is the real question(nerd battle)...who is the better Voice actor Peter Cullen, Kevin Conroy, or Mark Hamill?

Tough Choice for me personally, but Peter Cullen always does amazing Voice work because of that awesome voice..but so do the other two.

Game looks amazing, I never gave the first one a shot because of my disdain for Activision, but I did play the demo and the multi was fun, maybe I should pick it up and give it a chance.

There's a TF Prime game coming out for Wii, WiiU and 3DS. Don't think it's by High Moon though. Graphics look pretty decent for a 3DS game though

Skins. Amazon is g1 Bruticus and Gamestop is g1 Optimus

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

This will be the first transformer game I might buy day one. Just looks really good.

Well that is a tough choice. But I have to go with Hamill. His Joker voice is just too perfect.

Going by diversity alone, Mark Hamill. Peter Cullen's IMDB basically reads Optimus Prime and Eeyore for the past 30 years, and Kevin Conroy is all Batman.

orange and blue!

check

 

[Ahasverus]

The last good orange and blue cover was The Witcher 2 EE, this is YAWN.
Oh Activision, why you look so retarded

 

[Scirrocco]

Also you get a couple of new guns via Gamestop as well as G1 Optimus.

Yea, know about that one. I want High Moon to get a crack at TF Prime though

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

Why moved up?
I would rather they move it back to November to include co-op.

 

[Hero]

At least Arcee can do that pose without having to worry about breaking her spine.

 

[desertdroog]

LTTP and recently bought a copy of War For Cybertron, finished single player and am now excited for Fall of Cybertron.

In doing so I have been hit by my nostalgia for G1 Transformers and started to watch the Prime animation series on Netflix. I'm glad the devs for this game are die hard fans and lobbied to keep the Dinobots from being retconned by Hasbro.

 

[malfcn]

no High Moon on the boxart?

 

[GraveRobberX]

Day 1, my body is ready, now which store has the best Pre-Order... Hmm....

Can never have enough Transformers Platinums

War for Cybertron was so much fucking fun
I got Plat before they gave everyone in MP the automatic x8 multiplier to get people leveled up

Worked a few weeks on that MP, so much fun, sucks no extra DLC stuff was added
Also Horde mode was intense after Wave 10 lol

 

[bryanee]

I paid off my pre-order today. I am ready to rock Grimlock and Metroplex.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Oh damn. That looks awesome. I so can't wait for the game at all without a doubt.

 

[Maximus.]

Box looks badass, cant wait to play the game. First one was solid.

 

[Femmeworth]

That looks kind of shoddy. I prefer the first game's box art.

 

[neorej]

Arcee is sooo fucking hot...

 

[G-Fex]

Arcee is sooo fucking hot...

The newer one is even hotter

 

[Staal]

Excited! I loved WfC, both single- and Multiplayer. Too bad I'll be on holiday on release...
