Man, this sucks, I don't have Gold atm, so I can't download it. =(
There will probably be a download link later. Burn it to a CD/DVD. Also, I'm sure there are a few people who can give you a 48hour trial code once you download it.
 
Seeing it on new arrivals, but when I click on it I only see the three trailers. Netherlands.

EDIT: Hmm, can see it when I select All Titles and then sort on Title, strange.
 
I'm a bit disappointed this is an 360-only demo. I really wanted to try out the game, even if its only multiplayer. Well hope to hear some impressions from people later.

So this is an exclusive demo?

One of the most retarded strategies to come out of this generation.

I thought I read that somewhere, that it would be exclusive. But now I'm not so sure anymore. Gotta see if I can find the site where I read it on.

It's definitely exclusive as the demo was announced on Kotaku's podcast by the director of the game.

Oj, alright. A shame. Oh, well its not long until the game is released. I guess I'll just have to hold out a little longer before I can try it.
 
impressions after 2 matches:

-controls feel great. gunplay is very solid, hit detection seems fine, transforming and moving around as a vehicle feels good too. and yes, you can transform in mid air.
-graphics: looks pretty good. animations are nice, the maps look great. one of the best looking ue3 titles.
-there are 4 classes, you only can access 2 in the demo (scout and soldier). every class has a level, when you reach a higher level (you do that by getting xp like in modern warfare) you can customise each class: new weapons, new abilities (hover, stealth, dash...), upgrades (reduced spread).

game is pretty fun, i am impressed.

How does if feel to run around with the characters?
Does it feel like they are a few tons heavy or are they a bit lighter/faster to move around with than in previous games?

Do you select a class and then one of the Transformers or is there no choice which one you play as?
 
Exclusive demo's now?
That's not cool.

In that case I cant play the demo, only have Silver on Live. Still, it will be good to hear of some impressions though.

THIS IS 360 ONLY! Dont hope for a PC/PS3 demo it aint coming.

Platform exclusive demos for multi platform titles makes no fucking sense.

None at all.

Though I imagine this is partially Sony's fault for having a half-assed approach to demos on PSN.

How is the dog fighting? How involved is the air combat and can you run into Warhawk like situations with flyers hassling ground forces?
 
-running around feels great. the characters have weight but they dont feel too slow/heavy. scout class is much faster and "lighter" as the soldier.
-no dog fighting in the demo
-you only select a class, no specific character. but you can customise each class. its limited in the demo but it looks like you can change the charactermodels as well.

Sound great! Thanks for the info.
Can't wait to get a hold of this game.
 
Okay, this is fucking awesome. So far everything feels right. I had a nerdgasm during the first game where I jumped over this bridge, transformed midair and killed a decepticon. My autobot then yelled "Another decepticon offline!"

The transformation sound is different but they nailed it I think. Game looks way better than it did in videos and there's a lot of cool little idle animations where parts of your robot move like fins etc.

Will say though, it does have the UE3 "texture hasn't loaded in yet" problem.


Also, Peter Cullen is the multiplayer/matchmaking announcer. Fuck yes.

What kind of gameplay are we talking about here?

MechAssault? FPS? MechWarrior? ....

Mechassault but faster? It's a TPS but of course transformers are a lot more nimble and agile than battletech machines

EDIT: Announcer seems to change depending on what side you're on. Optimus for autobots and Megatron for decepticons (duh)
 
I only played one match so far but yeah, this is pretty fun. I was on the Autobots side and we got trampled. :lol

That trend of exclusive demo's is the stupidest fucking shit I've seen this generation. Demos are meant to give you a chance to try a game and see if you like it...but you can only do that if you pre-order, or have a gold account or only want the 360 version. No one gives a shit about a demo except to TRY the game!
 
Awesome going to downl it right now thanks for the tip!

I feel sorry for people that have ps3/pc only :( I hate it when stuff like this is exclusive :(.
Its a goddam demo ................
 
Just checked this out on my Lunch, can't believe I'm going to buy a Licences Transformers game.

It reminds me of a fast Gears with vehicle with COD's leveling up and party system.

It really has a great feel and seems to have plenty of depth in customisation, looking forward to the variety that will come in the full game with the different models and maps.

Hope I can get in some more sessions tomorrow after work.
 
Good to know tha tthe MP seems to be decent. That adds some value. The real deal for me is SP though. I guess I will have to wait for reviews to know how good that turned out.
 
UNEXPECTED! And Before E3! Very surpised!

For people complaining about non-PS3 demo... Sony announce a while back that they'd make developers pay for bandwidth usage on downloads. So you can't really blame them for not releasing every single little free thing on PSN, especially not the sizeable stuff.

PSN is free for users becaus Sony passes on the cost of things onto the developers. XBLA is paid because the cost to developers is offset by our payments.

They are owned by Activison... There are many Activision demos on PS3 its just Activision suckling Xbox 360 money asshole again.
 
Played couple of matches. Game is surprisingly fun.
There's a lot of customization which is nice.

I'll probably have to get this. Probably not day 1 since Im short on cash.
 
oh how I wish Michael Bay could have played this before allowing his writers to scribble out one page of the TF3 script with their coloring pencils or whatever it is that they use.
