oh how I wish Michael Bay could have played this before allowing his writers scribbled out one page of the TF3 script with their coloring pencils or whatever it is that they use.

I'm pretty sure it's crayons.

They are owned by Activison... There are many Activision demos on PS3 its just Activision suckling Xbox 360 money asshole again.
butthurt and wrong. mp demos create a lot more traffic and the publishers need to pay for it (on psn).

TF1 and 2 writers were good writers lookt at Star Trek its Bay thats the problem.

Yeah, they have written some pretty fucking good pieces of entertainment, but on Transformers 2 and 3, Bay hired Ehren Kruger to "doctor" Orci and Kurtzmann's scripts, and in an interview with them, they denied writing most of the shitty/offensive dialogue in TF2. I don't know if I believe them, but when I see a script like Mission: Impossible 3 and Star Trek compared to Transformers, they seem like two completely different writers :lol
 
Holy crap, my kill/death ratio doesn't is actually almost decent. After all these years I've finally found an online multiplayer game that I don't completely suck at!

GotY confirmed!
 
I'm sort of disappointed in the MP after some podcasts hyped it up for me. Pretty average imo, not something I'm going to put any time into.

I will however get the game for it's single player game which looks like fun.
 
As someone else mentioned.. for us stuck at work.. youtube videos of some gameplay would be fantastic. All these positive reactions have peaked my interest.

And? Timeshift Lost Planet Burnout all had MP demos and the devlopers had to pay for that Activision have $$$$$$ it wouldnt put a dent in their wallet.

Even Bad Company had a demo of sorts..

PSN had the very first public Bad Company 2 beta.

And afterwards it had the normal demo that was also available on the 360.

Has Activition come out and said that this is definitely because of the money?
The Backbreaker demo is still not on the US PSN because Sony takes ages to certify that stuff. So maybe that's the reason?

The Transformers Demo was announced to be exclusive and its not because Sony require the devs to pay hosting its because Activision is getting fed money by M$
 
The game is great, really.

Graphics are good enough, great at times, the gameplay and gunplay feels excellent and fair, art direction is nice, multiplayer is very well done and the waiting times are minimal. It's just a very fluid game and much better than I expected. In the end, however, the greatest thing about the game is that I can have a fun Transformers experience without shitty dialogue, without Mudflap & Skids, without Simmons, without shitty college roommate, without jarring editing and adolescent cinematography, etc. Oh, and since Steve Jablonsky is doing the soundtrack, that's one of the few good components from Bay's film that has been retained. Thank god for that.

Really is wonderful when you find THAT game that your actually good at. It's like a revalation.
For me is was Killzone2 :D
 
Played a bit before work (got matched in a couple of games with Gowans!)...yeah it's pretty fun. The scout's weapons seemed really weak hopefully that was down to my shit aiming or something :lol though their still my favourite class out of the two. I just love driving off a ledge, transforming mid air and land cloaked:D

This can be nothing but the truth. And I know this because of your inside industry use of the $ for Microsoft.
 
Played a few rounds of this and it's pretty fun! Actually it kind of reminds me of the PS2 game only with ugly transformers and ugly Cybertron. Still trying to get used to the controls abit keep transforming when I want to melee and vice versa. Whirlwind is an awesome ability.

HAHA I started to get really good with the Scout in Vechice form it's a beast.

Shame max level is 3 in the demo.
 
I didn't realize it was a MP demo when I downloaded it. If it was SP I would've played it quickly before work. I didn't want to have to quit out mid match. I can't wait to try it when I get home though. Impression from you guys are pretty good so far.

This! This! This!

Except for me the only ones recently were Lost Planet and MGO. Two games that most of GAF hates on. haha

Looking forward to trying this out eventually. Wish there was a PS3 demo also...

haha, grow up.
Seriously think why is there no PS3 demo? Why is there no PC demo? Microsoft buy the rights to exclusive demos

Wow that guys sucks in the demo seriously doesnt show anything good about the game.

>.> sigh.. Xbox Exclusive gives more to Microsoft than having it Xbox and PC thats why they have exclusive games that are not on PC..

Ok dude, get over it. This isn't the first time something like this happened and it certainly won't be the last.

Cool, I didn't realize it was a class based shooter.

It's funny, when xbox games go to pc, ps3 fans declare xbox shitty because "I can buy all their games on pc anyways' but when the games are actually exclusive, it's stupid.

Xbox can't catch a break.
 
Xater said:
So this is an exclusive demo?

One of the most retarded strategies to come out of this generation.
Agreed. Shame too, as the game looks pretty damn cool. Going to check out that livestream now. But I'm not sold on the game till I see some proper PS3 footage and know it's in good shape.

I'm guessing it should be. 99% of games are identical nowadays, save for the occasional bad port/version.
 
PLayed one game during lunch.

Controls take some getting use to (i.e. I need to stop throwing gernades at my teamates :lol ) But it's a pretty solid game based on my 1 lost match. Still couldnt figure out to Zoom In, but maybe that was based on my weapon combo.

Heavy thumbing Transforming at the wrong times is going to get me killed....a lot.
 
The game seems freaking fantastic so far, but is anyone else having problems connecting to games? I couldn't even connect to a bunch of games and even when I did get in a game I got disconnected halfway through.
 
i think this game would be really awesome if it was on earth setting. with buildings and houses around.

maybe after transformers 2 they make it where they come to earth.
 
Just played a round and it seemed pretty solid. Playing as a scout with a sniper rifle is fun as hell. There's definitely some potential here.
 
It's not bad, but not great. Got in two games(Ended up getting kicked both times midway through)

I guess if you like Transformers, you may get a kick out of it.
 
The whole multiplayer setup is a lot like CoD. Hell, Payback +100 even popped up on my screen at a few points. I'm interested in what these killstreaks are.

Yeah, I noticed that too. There's also a pretty in depth class customization too.
