Pure Xbox:

Back in 2014, Activision released the so-so Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark for Xbox 360 and Xbox One and, since then, has been relatively quiet about the direction that the videogame versions of the franchise would be headed.

However, a source has revealed exclusively to Pure Xbox that the company is set to announce a cel-shaded brawler by the name of Transformers: Devastation at E3.

We've nabbed a handful of screenshots for you to check out but at the moment, all we know is that the game will definitely be coming to Xbox 360. We're going to assume that an Xbox One release is on the cards also, and have reason to believe that it'll launch this year, but outside of the images themselves, there's very little else to go on.

Tonnes of screens at the source. Looks hot.

Dunno if Xbox exclusive or if the PlayStation and PC versions aren't mentioned because it's an Xbox fansite.

Spoiler

What if this is Platinum's game? :O

UPDATE: Best Buy Canada has a listing up for the game:

[Creaking]

For crying out loud these leaks...

All those folks talking about how tight E3 news was two weeks ago jinxed the whole thing.

 

[Shin Kojima]

If this is the Platinum game and it's MS exclusive I'm gonna fucking cry.

Edit: Multiplatform, fuck yeah.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Spoiler

What if this is Platinum's game? :O

NOOO
NOOO

Well, maybe it's going to be good but I dunno, not a Transformers fan.

 

[Diggeh]

Looks fantastic! Harkens back to that Unicron Trilogy art style.

 

[AmyS]

They nailed the G1 look,

 

[Tizoc]

Would rather it isn't exclusive to one console/brand.
Cel shaded looks cool, and I really want them to add some of the characters from the comics too XO

GIMME DAT OVERLORD ACTI!
GIMME!

 

[MadmanUK]

So that's what that Shia green screen was for. Shia confirmed!

 

[Corto]

Platinum Games?

 

[Sagroth]

Jesus, leaks errywhere all of a sudden.

As for the game itself, it might have promise. Let me play as Grimlock and it'll have my interest.

Edit: why do people want this to be Platinum's game? They do best with their own franchises(well okay, Metal Gear Rising was good). Korra was..not great.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Platinum?

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Brawler. Activision.

Yeah, this is Platinum's game alright.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

grimlock where?

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Wow looks goood.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Guys, I am adequately hyped.

 

[Frostinferno]

They got my attention.

 

[Guymelef]

Yep, sounds to Platinum's game.

 

[NippleViking]

Platinum online Transformers brawler, with comic-book style cell-shaded graphics.

I never knew how badly I wanted this until now.

 

[Corto]

How was Legend of Korra? I reckon it will be that team doing this?

 

[Chobel]

This looks amazing!

 

[Stilton Disco]

This had better not be an Xbox exclussive!

Looks incredible, and if it's the unannounced Platinum game I'll weep with joy!

I really hope they include as many characters as possible. Let me play as Grimlock, Swoop, Bludgeon and Overlord and I'll be there day one.

 

[Qurupeke]

Platinum game? So many leaks.

 

[duckroll]

If this is the Platinum game and it's MS exclusive I'm gonna fucking cry.

There's no indication that this is a MS exclusive. It's Activision, so it would probably be on every single platform there is. Obviously a site called "Pure Xbox" is not going to mention other platforms.

 

[PaulExcellent]

what
WHAT

WHAT IS HAPPENING
THANK YOU BABY JESUS

E3 IS GO

 

[Tain]

That... looks a bit like a Platinum game. As much as Korra did at least. And it's Activision.

I'll assume this is the unannounced Platinum game for now.

 

[tbd]

Hope this isn't the Platinum game that got hyped, though.

 

[EatChildren]

How was Legend of Korra? I reckon it will be that team doing this?

Fighting system was better than it had any right to be. Suffered as a whole from pretty drab level design.

 

[popyea]

I feel like this could only be Platinum. I don't even like Transformers but this looks promising.

 

[Usobuko]

Spoiler

What if this is Platinum's game? :O

Gross.

 

[Tain]

Hope this isn't the Platinum game that got hyped, though.

Same. I'll take it, either way, but I'm not particularly a Transformers guy and I was hoping for something wholly original.

 

[T.O.P]

Could be cool D:

 

[Necromanti]

Hope this isn't the Platinum game that got hyped, though.

Better to be disappointed sooner rather than later.

 

[ZeroX03]

Has Platinum written all over it. Please do not be true. Give me Rising 2.

 

[dh4niel]

Looks awesome.

 

[Toki767]

Fighting system was better than it had any right to be. Suffered as a whole from pretty drab level design.

I kind of imagine this game would be the same in that aspect.

 

[2+2=5]

Well it looks really similar to korra and they are both cartoon games so i would say that's platinum game.

For some reason when i read the title for a second i thought of a 2.5d beat'em up

 

[CryptiK]

OMG. Platinum's new game please

 

[Sadist]

My god that looks amazing... graphicly!

 

[Kane1345]

Ye I'm pretty sure this is Platinum as others have said

 

[Shin Kojima]

There's no indication that this is a MS exclusive. It's Activision, so it would probably be on every single platform there is. Obviously a site called "Pure Xbox" is not going to mention other platforms.

You're right. Thanks for calming my nerves a little.

 

[Hurley]

They nailed the G1 look,

Yep, that G1 prime is the sex.

 

[kurahador]

If it's the Korra team that's making this....blerghh...

That picture looks like it's a budget game.

 

[cutmeamango]

Wish they'd give the scenario a closer treatment with drawn textures.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

So if it were Platinum game, would it be a full priced game or just another downloadable game like Korra?

 

[GnawtyDog]

Can't dig the art.

 

[Oregano]

There's no indication that this is a MS exclusive. It's Activision, so it would probably be on every single platform there is. Obviously a site called "Pure Xbox" is not going to mention other platforms.

Poor Wii U not even considered a platform nowadays.

 

[Milennia]

a platinum games transformers brawler? the fucking dream.

 

[TheGreatLugia]

This art style practically feels like it was made for the Battle of Autobot City.

 

[Toki767]

So if it were Platinum game, would it be a full priced game or just another downloadable game like Korra?

This is probably going to be a $15 digital release.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Holy shit, yes please.
