Could Transformers: War For Cybertron Be This Year's Batman: Arkham Asylum?

GameXplain Writes: "Batman: Arkham Asylum surprised just about everyone in the gaming industry. Deciding to eschew traditional licensing paradigms, the team at Rocksteady based the game on the comics rather than any current movie. In doing this Rocksteady Studios successfully replicated what made Batman and brought gamers along for an incredibly fun ride. It's not like there was no indication that this would happen, but gamers everywhere were still caught off guard by the quality of this title. Arkham Asylum had shown potential in all of its preview builds, but no one was willing to believe that it could actually back up its promises. When it did, the game ended up being one of the bestsellers of 2009 and appeared on countless Game of the Year lists. Flash forward to the present and the same kind of pre-release buzz is being leveraged around Transformers: War for Cybertron."

whhaat? the demo was just bad. so many head scratching moments with the controls, with the feel of the weapons, with the damage balance...i just felt terrible after playing a few rounds of it.

Are you serious? This is one of the best demos I've ever played. The only problems I have with it is I shot up to max rank after like 2 matches and the sniper rifle is worthless because the games frame rate seems to dip when scoped in.

Otherwise the controls are tight, the class abilities are fun to use. Using a melee attack to kill 4 people at the same time is hugely satisfying. It took me literally 2 minutes to learn the controls.

I cant bring myself to buy games like this as the lifespan isnt too good, so i'm renting it tomorrow to see how it goes. From the reviews though, this is sounding good.

Blaze9295061d ago

I'd have to agree with @Alcon Caper. Multiplayer wise judging of the demo - its terrible. The single player must be awesome if people think it's anything like Arkham Asylum.

Shang-Long5061d ago

well alot of people didnt like the Batman demo and look how that turned out

FreeFalling5061d ago

I had a blast with the MP demo, I keep going back to it even after I maxed my rank. I'm definitely gonna get this game

Alcon Caper5061d ago

Judging from the mixed comments, I'll give it another try. Maybe it just takes some getting used to...

and I'll have to check it out, but this game is sounding better and better.

dirthurts5061d ago

It's ok. Not as good as Batman.

NecrumSlavery5061d ago (Edited 5061d ago )

I haven't played a Comic Book game as good as Batman, ever. Last great one I remember, was Spiderman 2 on Xbox/PS2. Funny how Batman was referred to as 2009's Bioshock....

I am going to have to take a look into this game. Demo at least

"Could Transformers: War For Cybertron Be This Year's Batman: Arkham Asylum?"

No. Also: the only people who liked Batman: Arkham Asylum were people who loved Batman to begin with.

"the only people who liked Batman: Arkham Asylum were people who loved Batman to begin with."

You are about as correct as 1 + 1 = blue

zireno5061d ago

agreed, you don't have to be a batman fan to like it, at least I know I'm not a huge batman fan and I really loved it, it was a lot of fun!

BYE5061d ago (Edited 5061d ago )

This is just plain wrong.

I honestly couldn't care less about Batman, or comic book heroes in general...but Arkham Asylum was an awesome game.

The same could apply to Transformers. I don't care about kiddy metal robots but if they are in a good video game, why not?

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia659d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest659d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo659d ago (Edited 659d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2659d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.

I wonder how many already have them.

gamefreaks365880d ago

Yeah, that's a good point. Still, if anyone missed out on them, this is a great deal.

Jeriphro880d ago

Wow. That is so cheap, but I know I personally already have all the games in the list. haha. I guess I should have waited.
