Thanks for your impressions glassgannon, sounds great! Sucks that I can't buy this game at release due to other expenses.
Lots of HD gameplay videos showing up on Youtube now. Full playthroughs of chapter 1 too. The game looks really solid. Definitely not a Korra. Chapter 1 itself is over an hour long. There's a mix of brawling, shooting, platforming, racing, etc. Obviously the brawling aspect is the best, but the platforming doesn't look super annoying at least, lol. There are also audio logs, collectible artwork, etc all over the stage.
No commentary videos:

I'm a big fan of Platinum games and this game looks fun. But does anybody know how many chapters the game is? Or how long is it?
Do you like to replay this type of game? If so, potentially dozens of hours of fun.
Assume 7-8 hrs for a first play through, based on previous Platinum titles.

It's interesting that they didn't just put that effect over Frank Welker's speaking voice. He actually read Soundwave's lines in the same voice he used for Dr Claw in Inspector Gadget before they applied the effect. Might explain why it ofteb doesn't sound 'right'.I can't get over how giddy I am that they nailed Soundwave's voice. The vocoder effect since G1 prior to this never quite got it right.

terrible, but expected
Rock Band 4 might be delayed?Rock Band 4 is my most wanted game this year and looks like it might be delayed. This is my 2nd most and now it looks better after reading the impressions. Super hyped.
Llllllaaaaaaaaaaaawd

In fact, I'm sure Welker used the voice in the Bay movie where soundwave was a satellite, and they just didn't bother with the effect at all.
Watching the intro and wow Grimlock sticks out like a sore thumb when running alongside the other Autobots lol.
You have these ordinary looking cars and trucks and then there's just a random metal dinosaur behind them, haha.
While the director of the game is Kenji Saito, what's equally interesting is that the lead game designer on this is Hiroshi Shibata. Previously he worked as lead designer under many of Kamiya's games - Okami, Bayonetta, and Wonderful 101.
Seems like loads of people already have the game.

Guess Europe goes physical exclusively. Funny enough, the official website showcase it with an ESRB box yet there is none on the web.I actually bought the PC physical version on Amazon.de for ~$20
....................This really is Bayonetta x Vanquish.
I noticed that in the Our Way video actually.I was watching Shirrako's 30 minute video and at this part (18:49-18:50 in case the link doesn't take you there) Bumblebee seems to slide under Megatron as if he were sliding in between his legs (Megatron is slightly in the air, so I'm not sure if that's what supposed to be happening).
I can't tell if Megatron's looking down at him as he passes under, but anyways, I thought this was a cool little thing.

So any review? When the review embargo will be lifted?
Are they even sending out review copies?

Donzo.
And what a wasted oppertunity with Grimlock Daaamn.
The cheap PC physical version I ordered is still showing a mid-November release.
Oh well, that's the price of saving money...and playing at absurd resolutions.
