Activision doing more Transformers News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC PlayStation 2 PSP DS Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii

Another film means another game.

Activision plans to release another Transformers game to accompany another Transformers film.

The movie is titled Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and launches across the UK on 29th June. Activision hasn't offered a date for the videogame adaptation, but a simultaneous release would make sense.

Revenge of the Fallen will grace all platforms: PC, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS. Luxoflux will create the 360 and PS3 games, Beenox will make the PC version Vicarious Visions will handle the Wii and DS games and Savage Entertainment will focus on PSP.

Players can be Autobots and Decepticons, and flip between biped and machine while smashing the the scrap-metal out of each other. Online multiplayer for those platforms capable will be in, although each SKU will vary slightly to fit the relevant system.

Hopefully this Transformers movie tie-in will be better than the previous shambles. Head over to our Transformers: The Game review to see what went wrong.

God forbid this turns out like the last POS Transformers Game...mind you, could it be any worse, really?

Mind you, high hopes are riding, especially if you can kick ass as Soundwave (the daddy of all Transformers)

I want a proper Generation 1 Transformers game where Bumblebee is still a VW Beetle and Megatron is still a gun

Or alternatively, why don't they put 50 Cent in it and it'll automatically be good?

I'll get back in my box now.

kungphu- Quite right! Melbourne House , now called Krome Studios Melbourne, made what is hands down the best TF game ever IMHO.

@dirtysteve and kungphu

That wasn't a proper G1 game though, if I remember rightly?

Only the Lego games/film tie-ins are any cop.

@schnide: No, it was based on the Armada line, I still hold out hope for a G1 game, but it's not likely.

Luxoflux did a pretty solid job of kung fu panda, this could be OK.

Whereas last time it was pretty easy to write it off as soon as the name traveler's tales was mentioned.

(was the gossip from the time that a sequel to the melbourne house TF game was cancelled due to the first movie game true?)

However it turns out, it can't be as bad as the films.

Bay is a close second behind Uwe Boll when it comes to lack of any talent whatsoever.

Here's hoping for a one more like the Armada game was for PS2. Of course what we REALLY want is a G1 game using those mechanics. Preferrably with a script by Simon Furman.

Ah, another colossal steaming turd ready to spasm its way from Actiblizzard's rancid sphincter.

Sunyavadin: Too right - I'd be all over that!
