Transformers:dark of the moon

WAR FOR CYBERTRON Developer High Moon behind the wheel

I know its a movie tie-in and the last two were bad but this could actually be quite good with High Moon involved, War for Cybertron is a decent game

Despite the less than kind reception for the last Transformers film, the most recent Transformers game, War for Cybertron, was pretty well liked around the office. With that in mind, I was excited to hear from Activision this week that Transformers: War for Cybertron developers High Moon will bring the official game for Transformers: Dark of the Moon to Xbox 360 and PS3 this summer.




We had a chance to speak briefly with High Moon about the upcoming game. Game Director Sean Miller explained why War for Cybertron fans will be comfortable with Dark of the Moon."In terms of similarities, we think people will be excited to know that we're sticking with a similar control and gameplay scheme from War for Cybertron," Miller said. "We want you to be able to play in whichever (transformation) mode you want - you're never without your weapons, but you've got choices."

Transformers: Dark of the Moon leads in to the events of the movie and takes players through High Moon's versions of Earth-based locations like Siberia and Detroit. Dark of the Moon also introduces a new transformation mode called Stealth Force, though the jury's out on how sneaky you can be with it - it looks a little heavy on the force, if you know what I mean.



Online multiplayer is also making a return, though High Moon is being cagey about announcing particular modes outside of War for Cybertron's slick competitive component. There was no mention of the Escalation mode, which is similar to Gears of War's Horde mode, or online co-operative play, but Activision mentioned that more details will be available in the coming months. Fans will be excited to hear that online play will feature actual named Transformers this time around, rather than palette swapped look-alikes.

When asked about the apparently short turnaround time between the release of War for Cybertron and Dark of the Moon, Miller assured me that the latter began development before War for Cybertron's ship date last June (just after E3 2010). Also, since the game plays the part of prologue to the film, it's given High Moon the ability to design around the game's needs rather than rigidly adhering to a movie script.

After the poorly reviewed previous film adaptations, Miller said that Activision chose High Moon for the Dark of the Moon game "because of our love of Transformers - we have a great relationship with Hasbro and really love the universe."



We'll have more details on the Transformers: Dark of the Moon game in the coming months. The teaser trailer for Dark of the Moon will debut at tomorrow's Toy Fare, but check back at IGN Saturday afternoon for the exclusive online reveal of the teaser

I too enjoyed War for Cybertron so I'll probably pick this up!

[Bageara]

Yeah i cant think of one single decent movie tie-in game but the fact that High Moon is behind this is quite exciting plus its actually a prequel to The Dark of the Moon.

I still miss the WFC multiplayer there was something very satisfying about zooming into a battle situation as a truck or plane and smoothly transforming into a robot, blasting a few enemys then the smash of metal when you meleed someone then smoothly transforming back into a vehicle before anyone new what was going on and zooming off! all in the space of a few seconds, Awesome! i must go and pick a preowned copy up for cheap very soon
Would be nice to see an multiplayer of the same standard in this game

[G1ggs]

Yeah the Transforming when you want was brilliant. I thought the being a plane was good as you could fly in top speed, transform into robot, kill a few, and then jump, transform into plane and zoom off. SUPERB!

Anyone who enjoyed WfC this looks like it plays very much the same

WFC was one of my favorite games last year. The only thing I'm worried about is the short window between games. Is this just WFC with movie transformers?

I loved the last Transformers game and this is being made by the same people. Me want!

Probably. But that's still better than most quick turnaround video game adaptations of movies where they try to fit a movie into an already-established game engine that doesn't mesh at all with what the movie is about.

I never picked up WFC but after reading these posts I'll probably pick it this week and give it a try to see if I'll want Dark of the Moon.

[Bageara]

Glad to see Conquest mode in the MP I played the hell out of it in WFC

Bumblebee's melee looks awesome, really looking forward to this now!

[SideEffect34]

I enjoyed WFC very much, but I'm not sold on this game yet. I'll have to wait for the review. I'd much rather see a WFC2 then a movie tie-in.

Don't worry a sequel to WFC has already been confirmed.

I never have anything to do with movie tie- ins and never played the last two transformers movie games but I'm optimistic about this game as it's from the same devs as WFC on the same engine. Even if the campaign sucks I'm hoping the multiplayer has the same appeal as WFC

I could have swore there was a thread for this but the search didn't work.

I was thinking of getting this because I LOVED War For Cybertron.

Anyone play this? If so how is it?

[Ite]

Nobody?

You may run into a slight problem since Dark of the moon is a movie tie in game while War for Cybertron was a stand alone game. Movie tie in games don't have the greatest track record. At least it is high moon studios again

True. All movie tie-ins suck but since this is made by the same devs on the same engine I'm hoping it might br good

[blu-mike]

I got it.While its a fun game i give it a 7/10 its a downgrade from WFCT but its still fun but not as good as WFCT.
