New Transformers Film Getting Tie-in Game
I am ashamed to say that I own the Transformers tie-in game that was released along with the film. The only reason it’s still lying in my games drawer along with much better titles is because its resale value is virtually nil. It seems that despite its poor quality and low review scores the game made a profit, because along with the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen film Activision is publishing another tie-in game.
It’s being developer by Luxoflux for the Xbox 360, PS3 and by Beenox Studios for the PC. Krome studios is developing for the Wii and PS2, while Vicarious Visions is creating separate Autobot and Decepticon games for the DS. The PSP version is being developed by Savage Entertainment and is described as a ‘fast paced arcade action’ game. All the versions of the game will feature the various abilities of the wide range of robots in disguise including brawling action, vehicle combat and flying. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game will feature multiplayer modes as well, although if the game is as poorly crafted as the original it’s likely to be hard to find people to play with.
