Oihan Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 New Transformers game coming out May 11th. Not sure if this is old news or what. ThE ONE thing I find BS about this game is that it's only coming to the PS2. ='( Here's the link Atari's Transformers Game I pray that they'll eventually bring it to the XBox!!!

Ladic Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 is it based on the good old transformers or that crap fest armada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GobotFool Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Game looks kinda crappy, but the flash annimation they are using on the site is really impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 (edited) I saw this previewed on Xplay. Honestly while I"m not fond of the Armada cartoon the game looks really good and I really want to check it out. Seems like the only voices from the show are Prime's and Megatrons. All the other voices are new. I actually like Hotshot's new voice to be honest. Starscream is kinda bad in my opinion. Cyclonous' game voice would fit Starscream better I think. Red Alert's voice is alright. I don't hate it or really like it either. Same for Tidalwaves. I wonder if there are other characters that are unlockable in the game. You seem to only be able to play as Prime, Hotshot and Red Alert. The site is pretty cool. Edited May 4, 2004 by Effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I tried this game at the Wizard World Convention this past March. The graphics are okay, but the controls suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakobi Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 The controls do suck and it also suffers from the typical PS2 crappy vaseline aliasing effects to hide the low res graphics and low poly environments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel's Fury Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Guys, this is kinda out of topic. Will there be a PS3? When will come out? Should I just wait for that or buy the PS2? Advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladic Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 PS3 won't be out until at least Q4 2005, so that is still almost a year and a half away at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueeyes Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 (edited) Instead of starting yet another TF thread, I thought I would ask my question here. Anyone bought or read any reviews of Simon Furman's (TF comic writer) new Dreamwave hardcover book Transformers: The Ultimate Guide yet? I noticed it is selling for only $24.99 and I am just wondering if it is worthy of being added to the book collection. Thought I would let someone else be the guinea pig before I wasted my money to order it. What think? Anyone have it or flipped through it? Please share your opinions. Thanks, Melissa Edited May 4, 2004 by trueblueeyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I got a free demo disc of the game, I actually like it it was alot of fun. You can transform at will, and you got a number of moves to put pain against decipticons. The graphics are very well detailed, I had no problems what so ever. Atari does seem to be slowly getting better at making games now. Also, prime and megatron are not the only voice actors, every autobot and decipticon they could squeeze in has a voice role. Sadly, the guy who played Starscream in Armada will not be in the video game, looks like it's played by someone else. The thing on the game is you play as 1 of 3 Autobots, Prime, RedAlert or HotShot. You go around collecting Minicons while fending off a clone decepticon like army. There are I guess over 150 mini cons from wha I understand, and before each level you can choose which mini con you want to take with you to battle.

Thanks, Melissa I flipped through it yesterday in fact. Nothing stellar really IMO. Is has a few pages for each season of the original and a few pages for subsequent shows, Beast Wars/Machines, Armada, and Energon. I don't remember seeing RiD in there. Space was also devoted to the comic (a lot for the original comic actually), the UK version of the comic, and of course Dreamwave's comics, inclusing War Within It's basically just a memory lane refresher. It only highlights a few episodes each season and such. One nice thing was they went into some of the contradictions, such as the multiple versions of the Dinobot origins, and the constructicons. Somewhat interesting, but not worth 24.95 to me. If dreamwave comes out with a TPB of More than Meets the Eye, I would be more inclined to buy that.

Agent ONE Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Though I am both dissapointed in what has happened to the franchise and un interested in most TF products, I might get this... I figure since the same voice actor is still doing Prime, I can at least relive some old memories. Of Prime kicking ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerwalk25 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I tried this game at the Wizard World Convention this past March. The graphics are okay, but the controls suck. I tried a demo of TF at the Le'Target yesterday. The only Autobot in the demo you could play is Hot Shot controling your character is playing like Max Payne or a console FPS except when you transform to your car form and I can't seem to find out where the damn accelerator is. All in all it's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 hi i have seen this new Transformers game play it does not look that bad, but I love the original Transformers. I do not want to start a new thread and it is a game for the PS-2 but does anyone know about this PS-2 Transformers game? it is out already, what do you think? I think it looks cool has anyone here played it? if so what do you think of it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8103700087&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Actually the original Transformers video game I guess was suppose to come out shortly after it's japanese release, but something about rights and how it just wouldn't sell made them say "no thanks" or something, I can't remember the details. Heard the G1 game wasn't that great anyways, but I really don't know... But the original Title, "Transformers: Aramda, A prelude to energon" was just changed to "transformers" few months back.

Solscud007 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 That game is crap. Saw the G1 transformers game in japan at a Hobby convention. It was awesome. Gonna have my friend get it for me in japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRock Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I played the JP TF game. The reason why it's not coming to the US cause Sony rejected it during its quality tests. Meaning it sucks worse than a three way with Manga and HG!! You are better off NOT playing it! As for the Australian/US production of TF Armada, it's pretty damn good. Too damn good to be a TF game. This'll surprise a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
