Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Demo Impressions | ChronoGamers

With the release of Transformers: War for Cybertron back in 2010, High Moon Studios established themselves as a developer that truly ‘gets‘ the Transformers license, and gave it the respect and care it deserved. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is the sequel many of us have been waiting for since then. A short, playable demo hit Xbox Live earlier today, and I jumped at the chance to check it out.

Will Fall of Cybertron live up to the hype after it’s top-quality predecessor? If this demo is anything to go by, it may just.

I hear a lot of people are looking forward to this and really it has been under my radar for a while. I think its time i start looking into it to see if its a game i would like :)

TitanUp4310d ago

after i get dishonored,darksiders 2,borderlands 2,guild wars 2 i will see about transformers and dark souls.

AusGamer4310d ago

Yeah the first game was awesome. I've just been replaying it recently on hard to brush up on the story and its alot of fun. The only thing that I hope is that the next game has a little more variety in enemies. High Moon Studios used alot of the same transformer classes as enemies for both Autobot and Decepticon campaigns, just with different colours (red for Autobots and purple for Decepticons). Other then that its great. The multiplayer is fun as well. I prefer it to traditional multiplayer shooters because of the many options that being a transformer presents.

Plus, you should be able to find it for pretty cheap now, seeing as the next one is going to be released soon. :-)

This series is what rocksteady is to batman. It completely brings it back on it's feet. It's for sure on my radar.

Captain Qwark 94310d ago

agreed. i played the first and was pleasantly surprised by its quality. looked forward to this one, not hugely anticipated becuase it is activision so i expected it to be solid at best, but still wanted to play it.

gave the demo a shot and holy sh*t. game is near perfect imo. the campaign levels were crazy fun, story seems like it will be good and for once, i tps multiplayer is actually good, really good. graphics are very good but could be a little better, the usual texture loading issues associated with the unreal engine are present here but otherwise it looks great. overall a must buy.

the only issue with it is that it releases only a week after darksiders 2 which is without question my most anticipated game this year. however as soon as i finish DS2 this is most certainly my next game.

BX814308d ago

I've never played dark siders. My bro said it's a really good game. I think I might pick it up this weekend.

leogets4310d ago

played the demo. i was gutted when i see the unreal engine logo.low and behold the game sucks fucking balls,visuals r ps2,jaggies,blury,total shit.deleted it after first 5 mins of bumblebee game play. utter wank.games meant to be looking better,not going backwards ffs

so about that digital """future" ""...

skycaptin52329d ago (Edited 2329d ago )

It's a real shame, Fall and War were truly remarkable games.

You can always redownload titles you already bought, even delisted ones. And while the digital future may bring downsides like this one, it is inevitable nevertheless.

Krysis2328d ago

I grew with you but you will never convince idiots they are wrong, that's what makes them idiots.

ChrisW2328d ago

Exactly, they can always be redownloaded!!!

I just downloaded Transformers: Devastation and War for Cybertron to check.

The article said it's because of Activision's license expiring. Unless there's a huge nasty internal disagreement about that sort of stuff, this delisting will hopefully not be permanent.

firelogic2328d ago

If you bought it, you can still redownload it as many times as you want. They're just not selling it anymore. We'd be in the same situation if physical copies ended their print run.

And yes, we are moving to an all digital future. All doesn't mean "all or nothing." You can still buy LPs in 2018. That doesn't mean the majority of the population hasn't moved onto MP3s and streaming music.

BluRay/DVDs are still sold but have been steadily decreasing year after year as people have moved onto streaming and digital downloads.

Physical books are still printed but are in decline because of e-readers/tablets/cell phones.

PC gaming has been basically 100% digital for some time now and you don't see them proclaiming that the sky is falling. It's just console gamers that are reluctant to accept the inevitable. I don't understand why.

spektical2328d ago (Edited 2328d ago )

"It's just console gamers that are reluctant to accept the inevitable. I don't understand why."

You arent a true gamer then. True money value for a game is in the physical copy. Digital is much more anti-consumer at this place in time. You cannot lend games to friends, and sure there needs to be a middleground. At this point I can go to my friends houses and trade switch/ps4 games like mario/zelda/horizon/gta5, which i cant do with digital. The needle is too far on the anti-consumer side. Steam tried it with family sharing, but its bs i have to sign in to a friends pc for "family share", why can't I decide which 5 friends can view my library from the my home?

Skuletor2328d ago

Same situation if physical copies of a game ended their production run? Don't think you can buy many preowned digital games, especially when they've been delisted.

darthv722328d ago

@spektical: Digital is not anti-consumer. if anything it is pro consumer as digital is much easier to obtain. And really a true gamer is someone who plays games no matter where or in what format.

Sounds to me you are more of a shelf collector than a gamer if you are worried about physical vs digital.

Sunny_D2328d ago

Physical copies that end their run still have the benefit of atleast having a used copy you can find for said game. There’s no such thing as a used digital game.

rainslacker2328d ago (Edited 2328d ago )

Pretty sure u can still easily obtain almost every game ever made physically. It's not like it's terribly hard to find people selling stuff. It's rare that I have to wait it out on something. Just last week I brought over 40 snes games all new, and their print run ended well over 20 years ago.

Otoh, my digital copy of r-typres which I actually paid for back at the start of last gen I'd no longer available for sale, nor is it available to download.

Digital has it's advantages sure, but this is one place where physical trumps digital, and the 2nd biggest reason why I prefer physical. The first is I actually like havi my something of value, which digital games don't beyond my own account

narsaku2328d ago

Yea yea, 1 or 2 games get de-listed and can still be downloaded by people who purchased and nobody really cares about them anyway and the retards come out laughing at the future of gaming, all the while they can't find 3/4 of their games they bought in the last 10 years, half of them probably don't work without skips/glitches, several, "disk 2's", are gone, several of the cases you opened, led to cracked games cus mum dropped your old collection while playing etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

I swear console gamers here are 200 years old.

Professor_K2328d ago (Edited 2328d ago )

This game is still in my backlog :(

gangsta_red2328d ago

Same, got it from PS+ and I was determined to finish it because I am a huge G1 fan...sadly I never did.

LucasRuinedChildhood2328d ago

You can still download and play it.

ZwVw2328d ago

Legend of Korra has been delisted from all marketplace stores as well. The rights expired with Activision.

These games as very close to me actually liking them...

darthv722329d ago

Both 'War for' and 'Fall of' are really well made games. Much better than any of the movie licensed ones.

BlackTar1872329d ago

i just wish the MP in #2 was better and more inline with #1.

I put like 200hrs into MP on #1 and was one of the hidden gems of last gen. Whatever they did to MP in #2 was awful IMO of course

Knightofelemia2329d ago

I love these games way better then the movie crap that was put out. Too bad the third game Rise of the Dark Spark sucked they had a great franchise going on with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron.

jukins2329d ago

1st one was amazing. Second was so sloppy technically was near unplayable

"It’s not all bad new for fans though, because there is a new animated TV series based on the original Generation 1 series and toyline coming too."

I'd never heard of that. Would be interesting to see, tho.
