That varies from person to person. I honestly couldn't care less about length, as long as the content itself is good enough to justify the price.

I don't think Platinum wil compromise anything to dumb down their game for kids. Korra didn't and many people that reviewed and played that game didn't understand the depth of the combat system and on the first play-through enemies were tough in your weakened state.
Best Buy had it listed at full retail (at least I think, if $64 canadian is retail there).

Retail.
I'm well aware that the overall quality of the game itself has to match its selling price but the poster I quoted seemed to imply that criticizing platinum's games for their length is somehow 'wrong'.
Korra is basically Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae tier action game, the problem I have with the game was that the first playthrough has most of your skills locked and made the limiting enemy variety stand out even more, but the combat system and controls are pretty decent and fun, if you have problem with content then just wait for it to drop in price. I feel like those shit design choices are made because they wanted to pad the game into a "full length" game, and to have some kind of character progression except it's dragged out and made it look worse.
Transformers seems to be a full priced game so I'm going to expect more from this one.

I am sure the mechanics and difficulty of the game will be designed to appeal to those who watched G1 Transformers as kids.
Exactly, I think that the target audience will be for those who grew up with G1 Transformers.
I hope they release this game on PC

Maybe DLC...
Eh I suspect as much. I miss the old days of playing games and unlocking more stuff.

There's a lot to do in a Platinum game. Some people just don't want to play past the 5-10 hour campaign each game gives you and that's totally fine. Its not wrong to criticize the games for being short, but I personally think the quality of the game would be severely hurt if it were stretched to 20+ hours. These kind of games can wear their welcome really quickly, which is why they're usually on the shorter side.

I hope Platinum doesn't end up like Bizarre, taking on these deals with the devil.

Hey now, Deadpool was surprisingly good. They nailed the character and the mechanics were pretty solid too.
The less said about Survival Instinct, the better though...
The guy from Arcsys said during the GDC presentation that limited animation with a free camera looks really fucked up. I don't think P* are going to do anything that drastic but it will probably have pretty nice animation anyway.
That's true.. PG has never disappoint in that area.

Hopefully
we all know the real draw is being able to play as starscream, shockwave or merging to form bruticus
I hope soundwave's tapes are in the game

While I'm sure the budget will match the price point, I wouldn't get my hopes up too high. I'm not expecting much more than a longer and more fleshed-out Korra; glorious Platinum gameplay in what amounts to long corridors dotted with enemy encounters at steady intervals. Something that I'd be absolutely excited to buy day one and pump hours and hours into, but that I also wouldn't expect to set the world on fire with stellar reviews and crazy sales figures.
The main improvements I'd like to see over Korra would be the obvious ones: more enemy types, more bosses, and a better camera. More polish to the basic gameplay wouldn't go astray, either; it was so easy to get stunlocked in Korra and just watch your health bar rocket downwards, especially on the highest difficulty when they started populating all the fights with bolo and electro-glove guys up on platforms where you couldn't reach them. All things that I have no doubt Platinum could fix with a bigger budget and a longer development time. We just have to hope Activision will play along.
I'm so conflicted I love Transformers,but at the same time I have been waiting eagerly for Rising 2.
In regards to the game, it looks great with the cel-shaded graphics but only 5 Autobots playable. Why can't we play as the Decepticons? I still remember how awesome it was playing as Megatron in the Cybertron games. I honestly feel Transformers would be better suited to a musou style game considering how many characters there are. Hopefully the combat will be at least as goodness Rising.

Playable Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, or Shockwave would shatter me into thousands of boner shaped shards.

Gen 1 + P* + Brawler = Day One
We can only hope the game received a Little higher budget because the Development time Will be the same as Korra if Transformers comes out in October( even less if they didn't start it JUST after Korra).

I just had to find out who this cutie is. Her name is Sooyoung of Girls Generation.
Back on topic I want this game bad. Will pre-order using Gamers Club after the e3 announcement in case they have special pie-order bonuses.

They should have a Starscream mode where you don't try to beat the autobots but instead try to stop Megatron from beating the autobots
Haha, sounds great! Backstabbing Starscream is best Starscream.

It doesn't look particularly well... and comes from Platinum Games, so it's going to bomb hard easily

We haven't learned anything about it at all, officially, so we have no idea who at Platinum is working on it.

Can't believe there are so many people in this thread whining about a G1 Transformers action game, made by Platinum.
Even complaining about those graphics.
What's wrong with you guys?
They're worried because of Legend of Korra
I remain hopeful because I'm a huge Platinum/G1 fan. Hopefully there'll be a playable build next week
