Don't care. I loved Korra. That game + a budget would have been amazing for me. If this is as good as Korra, I'd be happy. If it's better, I'll be elated.

My childhood + my favorite developers = smiling all day.

 

[ArjanN]

Yep. I played the heck out of Robotech: Crystal Dreams. What was shown looks almost exactly like it - cell shaded and empty.

That looked nothing like this. At all.

 

[Uraizen]

Let's judge a game based on a trailer that doesn't show off what the game is capable of.

Mhm... mhm... it sucks.

 

[de_reddy]

Looks like the W101's colour palette was used for this one. It's always strange to see a very colourful game among all those gritty trailers.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Not really enthused about this but then again Rising wasn't my cup of tea either.

 

[Akainu]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Trash. Pure Trash.

 

[matmanx1]

Being a Transformers nerd and generally fond of Platinum Games' works I am cautiously excited. If nothing else, it looks fun!

 

[Sadist]

Still want.

Wanna stomp around with Grimlock

Yet I'm sure you have no problem with favorable judgments based on a trailer that doesn't show off what the game is capable of.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Trailer didn't do anything for me... well disappointment. And I loved the look of the screens. Didn't seem to translate well in that trailer anyway.

 

[Astral Dog]

Rising Director on this?

No MGR 2 confirmed?

This looks like it could be "ok", at least Platinum is getting work i guess, a shame we wont see Scalebound at E3.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Don't care. I loved Korra. That game + a budget would have been amazing for me. If this is as good as Korra, I'd be happy. If it's better, I'll be elated.

My childhood + my favorite developers = smiling all day.

My exact sentiment.

 

[Malus]

RIsing 2 is dead then.


FUCK

Any reason why a different director couldn't make Rising 2? Kamiya directed Bayo and Hashimoto directed Bayo 2.

 

[Green Yoshi]

Geoff asked him about MGR2 and he chuckled and said he couldn't say anything about that at this time.

Announcement at the Sony press conference?

 

[Instro]

Looks legit, but need to see more.

 

[Grakl]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Trash. Pure Trash.

tell us how you really feel

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Announcement at the Sony press conference?

If MGR2 exists, I don't expect anything before TGS.

Spoiler

It probably doesn't exist.

 

[Savitar]

We have enough salt in this thread to make a copy of Devastator himself.

 

[Mentok]

Still reserving judgement until more is shown...that wasn't a great trailer though.

 

[TheRook]

Seems like Gaf dislikes G1 transformers :/

I thought it was cool.

 

[digita1alchemy]

I'm in. Anything Platinum makes in an auto-buy. I don't even care about Transformers (or Korra).

 

[superbank]

This video is very low quality, like it was recorded from a stream or something. I think some of you might not be aware how it affects the look of the game. This is one of the released screens:

It looks really clean and more importantly faithful to the boxy shiny G1 look. The backgrounds aren't great though.

I'll wait for the gameplay demonstration but conceptually I think the hyper-fast character action style isn't a good fit for Transformers. They seem to have done it well here by going over the top with car combos but its still kinda odd. It can still be good but it's not what I'd prefer from a G1 TF game. When is the E3 demo happening?

edit: Oh yeah, its REALLY FUCKING AWESOME how this is a G1 Transformers game. The robots look amazing.

 

[Mizerman]

Transformers and Platinum, hmm?

Sounds cool.

Needs to watch some gameplay, but I'm leaning towards "want".

 

[Green Wiggly]

Not much of a trailer. Cell shading on Devastator at the end looked good at least.

 

[Zomba13]

Saito?

YOOOOO.

The music even sounds like Jamie Christopherson too.

This is the Metal Gear RIsing 2 we deserve.

If they get hype music like in MGR then this could easilly get bonus points just from that. Fighting a final boss to an instrumental of "you got the touch" and then the lyrics kick in would be sweet.

 

[Danneee]

Seems like Gaf dislikes G1 transformers :/

I thought it was cool.

And love MGR.
Myself, I love G1 Transformers and loathe MGR. Worst game Platinum made and I'm glad that they don't waste any time on a sequel.

exactly what i was thinking.

 

[HammerFace]

I want Unicron in here as the final boss.

I'm excited to see more gameplay tomorrow. Give it a chance.

To me, the characters and background styles clash too much. Devy and Prime look great, but the environment doesn't match.

I don't think they need to cell-shade everything, but they need to make the background not look like it came from a different game.

 

[Valkerionseven]

If they were given proper time to work their magic I'm sure this game will be great. If not, its not. Looks like the Wonderful 101 combat over something like MGSR or Bayo.

 

[Straight Edge]

That looked nothing like this. At all.

Actually it looks just like Robotech BattleCry for the 360.

 

[grandwizard]

Seems awesome. Platinum already made an amazing Power Rangers game with The Wonderful 101. Now they can tackle Transformers except actually have the license.

 

[E the Shaggy]

Platinum announces a cell shaded Transformers G1 game and everyone hates it?

Y'all some morose mother fuckers.

 

[MrBadger]

I felt like there was a bit of Transformers in The Wonderful 101.

Spoiler

The final boss was a huge metal planet that transforms into a planet-size robot, after all

 

[Supermanisdead]

Have you played Wonderful 101?

This guy gets it...

I think it's one of those days when GAF be with the bullshit.

 

[Pyramid head]

Having played a lot of all of those games, I have no idea which one you're trying to say has bad combat.

 

[KooopaKid]

Rising director makes it on my follow list even if it looks more Korra than MGR.

 

[Grief.exe]

Hopefully Platinum drops their ridiculous 1080p lock for their games. Extremely short sighted stance.

 

[ironcreed]

I love Platinum games, but ehh. This looks pretty budgety.

 

[jett]

MGR is literally the only PC game they've got.

[Monocle]

If they were given proper time to work their magic I'm sure this game will be great. If not, its not. Looks like the Wonderful 101 combat over something like MGSR or Bayo.

TW101's combat is deceptively deep, more so than MGR but maybe not quite on the level of Bayonetta. The mechanics take more effort to unpack, that's all.

TW101 is very much grounded in the world of old school game design where many hours of trial and error were needed to learn the gameplay mechanics and use them as the designers intended.

Why are you doing this to me?

 

[wild wild rice]

Meh is about all I'm getting from this and I'm a huge Platinum fan.

 

[digita1alchemy]

y u so negative people

Everyone wants MGR2.

 

[wild wild rice]

Everyone wants MGR2.

I didn't think there could be a Platinum game I would want less than MGR2, but here it is.

 

[Seven Force]

I'm excited to see more gameplay tomorrow. Give it a chance.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Kojirospath]

That was a really shit trailer. It barely showed anything and makes the game look Korra levels of generic Hope IGN reveal shows more of it to change my mind.
