Now they are just trying to use the Dinobots for sales. Anyone who knows about Transformers knows they were made on EARTH and never part of the CYBERTRON wars.

aPerson4405d ago

The story in this game is that the Dinobots are created by Shockwave after he discovers 'Star Bridge Technology', which he uses to find a world he can "suck dry" of Energon to save Cybertron. Shockwave finds Earth, sees the dinosaurs and decides to capture some Autobots and rebuild them as powerful dinosaur robots to use as his personal protectors, but things end up going wrong.

@NotSoSilentBob

aPerson is spot on. This isn't the G1 Transformers. Go and do a little research on the game. You'll be suprised at just how good this looks.

This game (like war for cybertron) is being made by people who love the franchise. Matt Tieger (the head of high moon studios) had to fight for Grimlock and the Dinobots to be included in this game. Hasbro told him they were officially retired from the Transformers franchise until he and the lead writer created this amazing backstory to make them relevant again.

aPerson4405d ago (Edited 4405d ago )

Bingo! This isn't G1. :)

As for Hasbro "retiring" the Dinobots, that isn't completely true. If you read what Hasbro is quoted as saying, they just wanted the developers to come up with a good reason for them to be on Cybertron, before the Transformers discovered earth.

We had Dinobot Powercore Combiner toys last year. We had a MP Grimlock toy last year. The Dinobots were in TF Animated in 2009 (and we got toys for them), we got a Classics Grimlock toy in 2006, and we know the Transformers Prime team are quoted as saying that they plan on using the Dinobots too at some point in the show's future. They weren't being swept under the rug. All Hasbro wanted was a good reason to use Dinobots in FoC, rather than have them in the game just for the sake of it.

As passionate as Matt Tieger may be about the Transformers franchise (which I am thankful for), he is distorting things to try and make himself out to be a hero to Transformers fans.

StanSmith4405d ago (Edited 4405d ago )

I did find it strange after being able to pick up a MP Grimlock last year (which stands proudly in my game room), that Hasbro were keen to retire the Dinobots. Glad that isn't entirely true.

I'm liking Grimlocks new direction in this game. I'm loving that he is intelligent in the game, but has a distinct stutter that causes him to talk like G1 Grimlock after Shockwave screwed with his brain.

It's looking to be one hell of a game. I can't wait to see the interactions between Optimus and Grimlock.

this game should be coming to pc,bad move

Zha1tan4405d ago

I agree, Il hate having to play it on Xbox but they obviously believe piracy was to prevelent on PC and would be counter productive.

Shame as WFC was a truely great game, only pricks pirated the game and didnt support it.

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

skycaptin52326d ago (Edited 2326d 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.

Krysis2326d ago

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

ChrisW2326d 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.

firelogic2326d 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.

spektical2326d ago (Edited 2326d 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?

Skuletor2326d 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.

darthv722326d 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_D2326d 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.

rainslacker2326d ago (Edited 2326d 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

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_K2326d ago (Edited 2326d ago )

This game is still in my backlog :(

gangsta_red2326d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood2326d ago

You can still download and play it.

ZwVw2326d 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...

darthv722327d ago

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

BlackTar1872327d 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

Knightofelemia2327d 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.

jukins2327d 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.
