Could go both ways. Remaining optimistic.
It's not hard to understand that a $60 retail release will have a higher budget than a $15 downloadable game though, right?
You have to readjust your sample size. Keep in mind you are on a hardcore gaming forum with people who share similar interests to your own.
In the wider scheme of things, this actually represents a very small share of the whole.
it's a cartoon about non-existent robots
I think we'll need a full- fledged G1 support group if this game turns out badly lol
Oh I misread what you typed, my bad. I thought you were referring to G1 movie when you meant "can't remember first or second", upon reading you meant the bayformers.
...so why didn't they make another G1 movie back then? Was it because it was made around the tail end of G1? (not familiar with release dates and my country gets cartoons late back in those old days)
wasn't speaking solely of here, chief. in general including IRL over the last 25 years or so.
Hasbro's ad agency set up a studio called "Sunbow" to make the original GI Joe and Transformers cartoons. They outsourced the animation to Japan (mostly a little company called Toei Animation), because that was cheaper and delivered more quality than American companies like Filmation (who made He Man and She Ra).
Sunbow lost money/didn't make much money, but Hasbro didn't care because they were making half hour long toy advertisements. Losing money is what the advertising budget is for. Sunbow was super-successful so they moved on to making stuff like Jem and My Little Pony.
In 1986, they were working so well that they tried to take a shot at the big time, and bet that they could make movies. They decided to make Transformers the Movie, My Little Pony the Movie, and GI Joe the Movie. Transformers and MLP bombed, so they cancelled GI Joe the Movie (and sent it straight-to-video). That's why there were no more movies.
Then DiC offered to license GI Joe (because it was so successful in the TV market), and would essentially pay Hasbro to make toy commercials, so Hasbro gave Sunbow the boot and shook hands with DiC. The DiC version was delayed by several years and not very good and it killed GI Joe.
Nelson Shin (the director of Transformers the Movie) had started his own animation studio in Korea, and he said he could make Transformers cheaper than Sunbow/Toei could, so Hasbro gave it to him. And then he killed Transformers by making it too cheap.
These shows worked great when they were toy advertisements. They died when people got greedy and tried to make more money off them.
My childhood is screaming at me to buy a PS4 for this game (if it's not available on X1). My inner child wants to scream at producers to make the next Transformers animated series with this engine/art etc.
The art is perfect.
It's on Xbox One for sure. Don't spend the money if you don't have to.
Made just to kill off the 1st wave transformers to introduce new toys. It's pretty bad and the new bots are worthless
Please don't be a toys to life game
How did Beast Wars happen?
Two Canadian guys named Gavin Blair and Ian Pearson became pioneers in computer animation, and they made stuff like the Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" music video (and actually worked on it's Weird Al parody) and created the mascot for YTV (the definitive Canadian kids channel). Eventually they formed "Mainframe Entertainment", and made "ReBoot", the world's first 100% CG televised cartoon.
Hasbro found Mainframe, or Mainframe found Hasbro, and they said "This is a match made in heaven, because CG is perfect for robots." Of course, then Mainframe decided to show off and tried to make organic robots (or that idea might've come from the toys).
Mainframe/Hasbro got Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio to run the show, and Hasbro told Bob Forward to study up on Transformers lore, and Bob said "Bah, Transformers died ages ago. There's nobody left to care about lore." And Hasbro said "Have you seen this new thing called Usenet?" After they saw how crazy and committed Transformers fans were, they figured they shouldn't let these people down so they hit the books and started studying Transformers lore.
they should have seen usenet fandom wars with GEEWUN vs TRUKK NOT MUNKEY

Ah, cool. I was a massive Beast Wars fan as a kid (especially the toys). It looks quite bad today indeed (moreso than some other CGI series from that time I think).
Sidenote, Transformers G1 was before my prime, but I did watch it a lot because it was still broadcasted (thankfully).
even people who aren't should be glad that Platinum games remain gainfully employed in an increasingly boom-or-bust environment
So many salty kids in here.
