From an Allspark (transformers fansite) member, who got his hands on the latest Game Informer:

"Transformers: War For Cybertron, A six page exclusive review. PG 48"


Sad part is it's not tied to any continuity. As the name suggests it's pretty much War Within but the Video Games on telling it seems. It's taking cues from Gears of war as a 3rd Person over the shoulder shooter. Will have a Autobot and Decepticon Campaign. They keeping quiet on Multiplayer but it will have some sort of Online modes. Like the Armada game you will be able to choose which bot you want for a mission but the other bots not chosen will be your teams AI. Enemies will drop weapons which is interchangeable. And like the movie games we won't be confined to land vehicles only. And transforming plays a good deal into gameplay.

Not a lot of vehicle mode pics, about the only one is Megatrons which has him as a less pointy version of Animateds Cybertron mode though he looks more tankish than flight capable. Most bots seem a mix between G1 and War Within with a few more influences here and there. Prime looks like they took the War Within model and just added his normal dual windows, Megatron is a more angular version of Classics (Gun) robot mode. I see an Ironhide which looks very slimmed down almost like a red Kup. I see a bot that I'm guessing is Blitzwing (closely based on his Animated form) holding a giant spiked mace weapon. Soundwave is ... well Soundwave. Like every other Con in here he is a tad sharp around the edges but He retains his classic head, chest and shoulder weapon. Another Bot is shown fighting Prime (who is holding a giant dual bladed axe) in what looks like a CR facility or holding cells in the background)

Names dropped in the article as playable...

Autobots
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Ratchet

Decepticons
Megatron
Thundercracker


I'd wager Ironhide, and Soundwave as playable too. One Autobot Mission has Optimus, Bee, and Ratchet Defending Iacon, While one Con boss fight will be Omega Supreme. Also it seems each transformer will have a unique transformation noise created by using real machines and appliances through an amp.

All in all it looks pretty sweet. Release is for 2010 for 360, PS3, and PC

LOL, yes... just the fact that this game has Trypticon and OS makes it worthy of a purchase. Gimme some Metroplex as well.

too big to control though, must be boss battles

would be cool if you could play from both sides

i thought you could...? most TF games allow you to play from the Autobots and Decepticons sides of things.

dunno yet details sketchy

 

[bagelsncheesey]

well, boss battles would b cool for me!

 

[Karma]

depends how story driven the campaign is

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

looks great ! real pumped !

 

[Ra88]

From what I gathered, the story will be split into two campaigns. You start off with the Decepticons and set up their grand plan, and then in the second half you play the Autobts and have to stop what you as the player set up. Omega Supreme and Trypticon will both be boss battles, in which you will have to fight them in an interactive, multi-layered enivroment, like in the first level of God of War 2. 4-player co-op has been hinted at as well, but nothing is yet confirmed.
