      I remember I was top 10 in the world in team death match on PS3 leaderboards for War of Cybertron for a hot minute, one of my favorite online games playing with my bros.. we f'd shyt up in that game. I was a top Optimus Prime build, no one could touch me. I would die if that game ever got a remake. So underrated. Hopefully they make a new game that lives up. My brother was just talking about it the other day. Epic game.

    I’m an 80’s kid and G1 Transformers was hands down my favorite childhood toy. I was VERY jaded by the Michael Bay re-interpretation of the Transformers, so when War for Cybertron came out, I was overjoyed. It was the first Transformers ANYTHING since the 80’s that truly recaptured that G1 spirit. I cried the first time I played the game. Fall of Cybertron refined the formula to a sheen. Totally agree it’s the best Transformers game ever. I miss High Moon, and am forever grateful for them giving us those two special games.

    As an 11 year old that was always looking at the back of game cases to see the size of games back in the day, i for some reason thought the more gigabytes a game had the better it would be.

      That's funny because now I tend to associate great games with small file size. AAA games these days tend to be bloated and soulless monstrosities upwards of 150 gigs whereas virtually all of the modern creativity and inspiration comes from indie games which are routinely less than 1gb. Pretty impressive when you think about it.

    • @generalcjg
      @generalcjg Рік тому +6

      Transformers 1 on the DS is awesome (especially the Decepticons versions), I dare say it's even better than the home console version since you don't even need to deal with human characters at all (so those that dislike the main human characters from the movie will have a better time on the DS).
      Plus it was made by Vicarious Visions, the same guys that did the two excellent Crash Bandicoot platformers on the Game Boy Advance (Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure and Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced) as well as the great GBA versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2-4, and the two excellent remasters Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2.

    You should really check out Transformers for PS2. Not the movie tie-in. I think people forget about it because the movie game is also just called Transformers. It's unfortunate because imo it's the best Transformers game. It has some of my favourite boss fights of any game I've ever played. The helicopter boss on top of the Mayan ruins where he can literally throw you off the side and continue to fight you throughout the entire map blew my mind as a kid. Typically a fight like that you'd get thrown off and just die in other games but not this one. Then there's the giant ship that you infiltrate only for it to transform and chase you across islands as you run away and slowly chip down it's health. I'm rambling but this game deserves way more attention.

    • @statesminds

    Dark of the moon actually came out in 2011, after War for Cybertron in 2010. Activision split up High Moon into teams to work on Dark of the Moon and Fall of Cybertron. They were able to work on that using a lot of existing assists from previous games, while the main team focused on Fall of Cybertron in 2012, and then moved onto Deadpool.

One of my favorites growing up, and I'm so happy I got it from Fry's all those years ago.

    Something I wanna shout out that's not mentioned here are the DS games, specifically the first movie tie-in DS games. There was an Autobots and a Decepticons version, kinda like Pokémon where there's two versions of the same game, but I had a lot of fun with it. You had your own transformer and you could scan/transform into any vehicle within the game and I'd spend hours just pulling GTA style shenanigans as a Decepticon. No idea if they still hold up, but as a kid that probability didn’t know better and just loved Transformers no matter what I enjoyed them.

    The thing about the High Moon Studios driving controls is they made 2 modes for vehicle mode. Combat and driving and to be honest, driving is secondary. You're really just using it to either drive in a straight line or escape the enemy in multiplayer. When you're mostly in combat mode, it makes sense for RT to be guns instead of drive.

It looked AMAZING as Hell. I wanted that. But I never had the ability to play on multiplayer. So I just was forced to watch people transform, fight other players, travel around the map. It made me cry at some point. I never even finished the game. Very sad.
    Transformers Dark of The Moon: It was. Eh. I finished the game for sure. But I just felt like I was playing Transformers Fall of Cybertron or War for Cybertron. It was just the same so I acted like it. I beat it once. Came back to it for a few missions like Starscream's and Megatron. But after that. I just stopped playing it.
    Transformers War For Cybertron: This right here. This was Perfection when I was a kid. My first Transformers game. I played it and beat it. Once again no Multiplayer. But the Campaign was still top tier enough for me. Playing Megatron felt amazing. Playing Optimus Prime felt Perfect. Everything was really good. It could only get better.
    Transformers Fall of Cybertron: Once again I missed out on the Multi player. But the Campaign made up with that. The beginning did it perfect on introducing us to the whole thing. Then Metroplex. Do you know how many times I rewatched the 1st and 2nd trailer to this game? I have those two songs on my playlist now. Humbling river? Oh my god. Cities in Dust? We were born lucky to even get to hear it grace our ears while we et to see in the trailer. Both sides just fighting each other. Bruticus, The Dinobots, Bumblebee, Jazz, Optimus, even Godamn Metroplex! Do you know what I felt when I saw Metroplex? I was speechless. Because words couldn't describe how little me felt. Going from War For Cybertron to Fall of Cybertron. It's a perfect sequel. And I'll tell you this. The Trailer's for it did put more emphasis on that sad tone. Which under selled how bad everything actually is in the game. Somehoe the awesomeness, the sadness, the pain, the war. In the trailers it was all underselled. This Game quite literally made the perfect Sequel. And I also found a great UA-camr because of this game. JohnnyFlash. The first video of his I watched was Project Goliath. After that I just fell in Love with his content. It was about Transformers. Transformers and humor? Watching Johnnyflash? My Favorit things.
    Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark: This. This is where things just fell down. It has plotholes which I found each one in a script I tried to make for a video. I did but never got all the audio recorded. But yea. This game wasn't good because it TRIED to be a tie in ge AND a sequel to Foc. Can't do both. So it just ended up being a mess that doesn't fit with either of the franchises. I still have it because my Xbox 360 disk tray scanner hasn't been working for years. So I'm forced ti just like this. Overtime thr love I had for this when I first got it. It was because it was Transformers and hearing the idea of the Dark Spark. I LOVED it. Just the execution and time hurt the game for me.
    Transformers Devastation: Transformers Devastation. This game. Let's say. It made me have hope again. I do wish I could have kept the gamefly version or bought it. But I didn't and just played it a lot. Too be honest it was competing with other games i wa splaying at rhe time like the Arkham games, the Master Chief Collection. It got the rut of the litter. But I'll say for sure. I'll buy it and play it again. I want perfection of no damage on that game. And I want to fight Megatron again. The theme hits SO hard

    Fall of Cybertron was lightning in a bottle and they friggin’ fumbled the formula down the drain because Activision had to Activision.
    According to my extensive knowledge of the 1986 movie, it’s Energon like John not gone. Somehow.

    One of the first games i ever played was the First Movie tie in on the Wii, the camera was a nightmare, but i still enjoyed it. My dad had the 2nd movie tie in so i played it out of bordem. Then you get to the High Moon Games. I remember getting a broken copy of Rise of the Dark Spark, where you could never get past the loading screen when you find the first weapons terminal. Fall of Cybertron was the best yet, i had a copy at both my moms house and my dads, spent a lot of time on the Escalation modes. Devastation was a departure from what i was used too but i still enjoyed it. I wish i could turn back the clock as the Multi-player modes are now shut down, and the consoles i played them on are now outdated and either didn't stand the test of time or are now buried in a storage room. Hopefully the new game Transformers: Reactivate will recapture that Spark (no pun intended) that i felt playing the old games, they've been quiet since they revealed the trailer at the Game Awards last year, so perhaps well be get some news on that soon.

      One of the two hardest parts of the game, alongside Trypticon. Those two parts were quite hard even on Medium difficulty.

    • @docsavage4921
      @docsavage4921 6 місяців тому

      @@mallow2902 I honestly have to idea how I ever beat this on medium, I was a pretty bad gamer then. Now I'm upgraded to middling (I can beat Nightmare King Grimm in Hollow Knight after a LOT of effort but no way am ever doing the pantheon challenges)
      In my last play I actually had fun with Trypticon, but I think that's only because Omega defense desensitized me to getting crushed over and over again. That and I picked Bumblebee who's by far the most mobile, and learned I could leap over the spiders in car form.

    Kind of funny Matty brings up Animorphs in this review considering Hasbro was making the toys back in the day.

    Great video. The Cybertron games were some of my favorite games as a teenager. So much fun. Playing as Grimlock and Bruticus was such big highlights. Not to mention Metroplex. Sad the series never got the conclusion it deserved.
    I wouldn't be too hard on Edge of Reality for Dark Spark though. I put all the blame on Activison. The BTS on Dark Spark was horrible. High Moon wanted to make a third Cybertron game, but Activision forced them into making a movie tie-in. The crunch sapped all the passion out of High Moon and development got shifted over to EoR. After Dark Spark came out, EoR was dissolved.

  • @docsavage4921
    @docsavage4921 6 місяців тому

    I'll say this fpr War, the Autobot campaign is insanely difficult cpmpared to Fall. It's all about the Horde mode like gauntlets, culminating with Omega Supreme's defense from some 10-12 waves of enemies. Tbh it was almost frustratingly difficult at times.
    Fall is definitely the better experience as a completely package, with Grimlocks chapters standing out as clearly Warhammers Space Marine influenced, from the way Grimlock shakes the ground as he moves, the melee focus, the tons of mobs swarming you. Very fun.

    God the first movie game was my childhood, i just love free roam as the transformers in the open world. I love the first one and still play it, it ain't perfect but i still love. War of Cybertron i remember playing at a family members house and love playing as bumblebee. I recently got Transformers Devastation and i love the hell out of it even if it's short, i wish we got a sequel especially since we got a sequel bait in the end credits 😢.
