Why does Activision keep giving Platinum money to make games if those games always sell like shit?
Maybe they dont have big budgets and sell enough to make reasonable profits and warrant more projects.
>>318456165
>Transformers Devastation only sold 9k on Steam
>while the two Cybertron ones sold almost 200k
Because they keep making them. Gotta have projects for the interns while the real team works on shit like Nier and Scalebound though those don't really look like much either.
Activision know what the want. We're going to get a fuck load of these.
>>318456165
because there is a god
and his name is gene
>>318456165
Probably the deal involves them making an x amount of games. Also both Korra and Transformers were incredibly low-budgeted and Platinum managed to still make broke
pls have local multi pls have local multi
>>318456275
>Steam is everything and all that matters
>>318456687
Did those games even have a physical release? Do console fuckers even know they exist, between the halos and cawadoodies and car games?
>>318456815
Yes.
>>318456165
They get reviewed pretty highly and are budget as shit, probably make a decent enough profit off them.
Transformers' major problem was being fifty fucking dollars.
>>318456815
I got Transformers on sale on PSN for PS4 for 25 dollars
>>318456165
>Activision gets rights to make games of properties.
>Contracts them out to a reliable developer for a small budget.
>Roll the dice.
It's just the modern equivalent of those movie games for the NES.
PICK YOUR TURTLE
>>318457004
I can't imagine the original voice actors for Transformers are cheap though
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES FOR SMASH
>>318458491
That could be the reason for the price hike compared to Korra.
reskinned transformers devastation
screencap for posterity
platinum is fucking hacks
>>318456815
I saw an Xbone version in stores and I'm pretty sure the PS4 also has a boxed version.

Fuck hopefully this will mean an actual good TMNT game for a change.
Is Donatello dead in this game?
>>318458709
Derek pls go
>>318456165
To keep the license.
>>318459565
That's awful art. These people actually get hired?
Activision knows Platinum is a good developer, but aren't giving them the budget and time they need
Korra was just bad
Transformers Devastation could have been a much better game if it was longer, had more time to make and a larger budget
either way Platinum is busy making like 3 other games
Nintendo had the right idea, they clearly saw Star Fox Zero needed work and pushed its date
who knows how good Nier 2 will be
Scalebound is Kamiya's new baby and has Microsoft money so hoping it turns out to be great
>>318457341
Donatello always and forever
>>318457341
Leonardo
>>318460098
At it's core, Korra had solid and fun mechanics. Yeah there was a bunch they got wrong, but at least it was a cheap downloadable title.
Transformers actually feels like a complete game with a solid amount of content for a character action game. Yeah, there are some filler bits and things that need work but it's definitely worth it as it is. It doesn't need to be any longer because there's tons of replayability.
I'm actually worried Microsoft will step in and ruin Kamiya's vision. Hopefully they're giving him full creative freedom.
>>318459309
he only died on the IDW series, he´s alive in the canon mirage one
>>318462553
I do wish TransDevas had more alt skins and cosmetics
>>318462571
He never died.
>>318462728
That definitely would've been a welcome addition. I know there were some black pallet swaps as pre-order dlc or something.
>first the batman crossover next month
>now this
yes
this pleases me
>>318459309
>>318462571
He never
fucking
died
I'm sick of people saying that.
His mind was in Metalhead for about 5-6 issues while his body recovered.
so THIS is the shit we get instead of aberserk game
FUCK ACTIVISION
>>318462571
He didn't die. He was just in a coma so they transferred his mind into Metal Head until they could restore his body so he could return to it.
>>318462992
.>dat buff Raph
Good art senpai
>>318463067
This is just to keep the lights on and the B-team busy while they finish up their other projects(Star Fox, Nier 2, Scalebound). Who knows, after this Activision business they may start doing licensed games based off of anime/manga.
>>318458487
>if I don't agree with it, it's bait
it's true though. Neither place has discussions about things that are mutually liked, with very few exceptions to the rule.
Everything else is just a circlejerk masquerading as a discussion.
So single player or co-op?
>>318462571
>he only died on the IDW series
Fuck you that was my current read.
It's a damn good series too
>>318456275
>Transformers Devestation only sold 9k on Steam
holy shit, I feel bad.
>>318464008
HE
DOESN'T
DIE.
>>318458709
HOLY SHIT! Fry and Bender confirmed?!
>>318464008
Keep going anon, just wait until issue 50
Also, do not open this spoiler.
>>318462992
They're really taking in Batman's buldge.
>>318462571
>the canon mirage one
IDW is canon too, m8. Just another universe.
My understanding is that they come in on time and under budget.
Even if they're only making a little bit of money off these games, they're still making money, and it arguably also serves as a good PR campaign because it makes Activision seem like they give at least some kind of a shit about their licensed games.
I imagine they'll continue working with Platinum until they start being unreliable or they somehow start losing money on underbudget projects.
So another Korra type game? Great.
>>318464208
They are a tag team for smash 5
>>318464246
Thanks anon now I want to open this so badly
>>318462992
Hope that we get a DD crossover eventually.
Remake coming.
>>318464991
more like remake of this
>>318464991
Who made this fucking art?
>>318462992
Platinum are big devs now
>>318465121
Dat Dooney's art. Perfection.
Obviously because they make money
>those games always sell like shit
Gibe proofs
>>318456815
You are a fucking idiot.
>>318465160
Oh for fuck's sake...
I still find it absurd that Platinum is doing random licensed games with Activision.
I'm not saying it's bad but I mean I didn't figure that would be something that would even be possible.
>>318457341
Donny always
>>318462553
>Transformers actually feels like a complete game with a solid amount of content for a character action game
not really it has very little content
I want Platinum to do a Mask video game.
>>318456165
>sell like shit
its franchise investment, they dont care if the game bombed at launch. Their aim is for the game to have sales each time a new transformer cartoon or movie appear.
>>318465785
Gonna be a long wait.
People still remember Son of the Mask was a thing.
So what are the chances that this will be one of the reveals at The Game Awards this week?
>>318464104
They charged too much for it. Is it really a surprise?
>>318462553
Scalebound has been in development for approximately 2 years by now, and they've been pretty quite about it.
I'm worried about it being a mess, it really is the first time Platinum has really done an Action RPG and it does seem its suppose to be an open world too
>>318465785
The mask terrified the fuck out of me as a kid. It still gives me this weird feeling today that I cannot describe.
>>318466168
This
I was glad to pay 20 for it, but wouldn't get it for full price.
They have me by the balls with TMNT though, i'm too much of a fanboy to not get it day 1 barring it looking like a train wreck.
>>318463630
Wait, have they made it 2D now?
>>318466023
Please don't remind me, but the mask is so over the top and zany, it's perfect for a game.
>>318457341

Hour long special promoting the preschool line 'Half Shell Heroes'. Pretty good for what it is.
/co/ is obsessing over a female Triceraton that has about five minutes of screentime.
>>318466242
its just okami 2.0 microsoft has said they wanted their own zelda and this game is supposed to be it, thats why there are no barriers in combat
>>318466539
It was a one off special to promote their Half Shell Heroes toyline.
It was surprisingly decent though.
>>318466168
There hasn't been any big movie dick to ride recently either, so outside hype has died down one hell of a lot.
The other games benefitted from Bayformers being an ongoing thing.
>>318459685
Archie'll hire literally anyone.
>>318463067
No gives a shit about Berserk. Not even Japan.
>>318464104
Don't. The game was awful and might have effectively killed the franchise.
High Moon did such an amazing job with the first two, what the fuck was Activision thinking?
>>318466916
Only in self-defense, usually.
And always quickly. Never pools of bloods or severed limbs or anything like that.
>>318459565
>those nipples
Hopefully it's longer than the Transformers game.
>>318467127
I cant imagine how hard it must have been to pull those moves in those suits.

Let us fuckin play as him for once
>>318467323
HE'S NOT DEAD.
And if they try to match the Mirage comic it means they have to shrink him down to the size of an action figure.
>>318467270
wait rip my mistake, I was thinking of Rise of the Dark Spark. My bad. I actually kinda like Devastation.
>>318466649
I blame the scene showing her in her underwear
>>318466916
>I've never read the comics before. Do they actually kill people?
In the original yes, the others not so much. IDW walks a middle line where they fuck people up but they rarely actually kill
>>318468209
I blame the fact that the internet is depraved.
Also, bitch is huge. She was tossing Steranko around like a rag doll.
>>318456275
The Cybertron games were great. Devastation is the usual Platinum trash with a Transformers skin.
Who should be playable:
The Turtles, obviously
April
Casey Jones
Splinter
Fugitoid
Mona Lisa

Who should be boss fights:

/co/ here, you can have Platinum back. we don't want them. High Moon Transformer games are way better than Devastation. I guess it's to be expected that weebs and their shit taste would like Platinum games though.
>>318467443
Explain. This had be fucked up since the day I saw it.
They probably don't cost that much too make. Which is cool by me, even if the games themselves aren't that great it's nice that someone is realizing that B tier games are still a worthwhile investment. The fact that it's one of the biggest publishers ever is even better.
Any sane person would welcome the return of the PS2 era of games
>>318470356
>>318472345
Can someone explain why we should hate Platinum so much, and what exactly was so bad about Devastation? I've had no problems with it bar it being a little too short.
>>318472345
>/co/
leave and don't come back.
I went on /co/ once and its the closest thing to tumblr on here. even /lgbt/ isn't as faggy as you guys.
>>318472742
Because people like to pretend like Platinum is capable of so much more than what they usually release despite their low funding.
>>318456165
As long as the art style isn't based on the 2012 cartoon or movie and we get playable Splinter and Casey Jones, I'm good.
>>318472852
That doesn't answer my question. I don't hate something because of what OTHER people think about it. Tell me about what Platinum itself did to deserve this hatred.
>>318464246
The page before it was better.
>>318456165
Another shitty hack 'n slash...
Well, I'm happy you guys like their work.
>>318473312
Do you dislike hack n slash in general, or only when they do it? What genre would you rather they make?
>>318473046
Fuck you 2012 series is awesome
>>318473450
>it's awesome because it makes references
it was a show that was all over the place, and only found what it wanted to do rather too late
>>318472742
Because the Cybertron games were pretty much what the Transformers fanbase wanted. Devastation is a glorified Bayonetta reskin.
>>318473557
I agree season 1 was pretty weak but after that it became an amazing show
>>318456165
Let's hope it's based off the 80s cartoon or the Archie comics
It's our only chance it'll actually be good.
>>318473247
Fuckin'
Radical
Is this from that new Image run?
>>318473631
The Cybertron games were ass though. Ugly bloated scrapmetal robots covered in neon ricer lights were what nobody wanted.
>>318473631
I don't mind that, especially as it's the first game... the first anything, really, to pay any kind of homage to the G1 show which was cheesy and camp as shit and I loved the show for being so charmingly bad in that way.
>>318473867
Tell me again how much your beloved Platinum shit sold and compare them to the Cybertron games.

>>318473631
I didn't know I wanted a Transformers game like Devastation, but I'm happy they made it, it's fun as hell. Who cares if the Transformers didn't go all melee-crazy in Gen 1, they didn't do much of ANYTHING in Gen 1 thanks to the limited budget, limited animation, and the fact it was a half-hour toy commercial.

>>318473917
Love how I simply ask you to explain yourself and you go on a ranting tirade about nonsense. You're also really angry over a video game company making a game that you didn't like, do you act like this towards all the games that didn't happen to tickle your fancy?
>>318473450
why does his stomach shell move like that
>>318456165

>>318474030
>There will never be another Cybertron game
>>318474496
I wasn't even mad atUtrom Shredder, I thought it was a nice twist on the character and it led to interesting new arcs and character moments.Like that episode where he finally tries to leave Earth and Karai's all "good riddance" but then literally EVERYONE, including Bishop, gang up to try and stop him from leavingAnd fail
>>318474401
I explained it to you the first time but you're fucking dense or you were probably just baiting.
>You're also really angry over a video game company making a game that you didn't like
What the fuck are you even talking about? I didn't say anywhere I don't like Platinum games. Bayonetta 2 was one of my incentives to buy a Wii U and its one of my favorite games on the platform.
>>318474804
I got a wii u for Wonderful 101, still one of my favorite platinum games.
I hope these two are in it and are actually scary and tough.
>first movie was suitably dark and violent
>parents threw a shitfit over it
>second and third films were shitty light-hearted garbage
>only mutant opponents in them could have been awesome but were the typical brainless lumps with no ferocity or challenge
Why do they insist on making villains and henchmen who are so dumb and incompetent that by all rights they should have lost and been imprisoned/killed in their very first appearance?
>>318472742
Platinum has 3 teams. There is the GOAT A team, the GOAT B team and the shit tier C team. Guess which one was in charge of Devastation.
>>318474782
I never understood why people hate that aspect.And in many ways it gives a nod to human shredder being ultimately crap. The only time human Shredder is good is because of the movies.
>>318474908
You do realize Tokka and Razar were made not because of that though. No, it was because Laird hate Bebop and Rocksteady.
And even then the people you should blame are those TMNT80's fags.
>>318474804
This is what you said the first time.
>Because people like to pretend like Platinum is capable of so much more than what they usually release despite their low funding.
That answered NOTHING about why you think Devastation is bad, that's you ranting at the fans for liking something you hate.
>>318474950
Maybe you can explain why Devastation is such a horrible game.
>>318456165
Damn, they're shitting out games left and right with Activision. In the span of a year and a half they've released Korra, Transformers and now this. No wonder these games are some of the worst Platinum products ever released to market and short as fuck, with an average completion time of 4 hours.
To answer your question, OP, they probably had a deal with Activision to develop X~ games to be released soon after each other for the next 2 years or so. Activision, right now, is probably pissed off that both Korra and Transformers sold like shit, but it's locked in contract with Platinum until TMNT is out (and any other yet to be revealed game that was part of the deal).
People joke about it, but this is probably the work of Platinum's E-Team, since they're already working on Scalebound (A-Team), Nier 2 (B-Team), Star Fox Zero (C-Team) and just released Transformers (D-Team). They're not even a big company, it's a shame they're spreading their talent and resources like that...
>>318475145
Laird is the worst. Just the absolute worst.
>>318475212
It a reskin of Legend of Korra which was a reskin of Bayonette. It was basically a platinum combat game with a transformer skin.
>>318475145
>Laird desperately wants to avoid them using those idiots, Bebop and Rocksteady
>designs them ALL NEW mutants
>They're even BIGGER comical idiots
It's like pottery
>>318457004
>They get reviewed pretty highly
Yeah, no.
Transformers Devastation has 75~ metascore and Korra has 55~ metascore.
>>318475387
>>318475262
personally I hate having mutants period, it screams BUY OUR TOYS
it's why I love 2k3
>>318456323
I'm thinking its something like this, mixed with Activision CEO actively enjoying Platinum Games products.
CEO's make bad decisions sometimes, wew lads
>>318458902
So it'll technically be reskinned Korra, since Transformers was just that + MGRR menu font.
>>318475538
At least there are CEOs out there that aren't solely profit seekers if what you say is true.
Like Squeenix's new CEO.
He's a genuine video game lover which is why Squeenix has been improving lately.
>>318456165
I'm excited. Platinum makes adequate beat em ups, and TMNT hasn't had a good one of those since Turtles in Time.
>>318475350
Now you're not even trying.
Character action is a genre Platinum specializes in. Of course it's going to have similar gameplay elements, but all three games have had details that wildly distinguish them from each other.
>>318475387
>>318475262
>>318475145
Even if Bebop and Rocksteady had been in the movie, they'd have been just as moronic and useless, thanks to both the legacy of the 80's series and the parents whining about the first movie being too dark and violent. Batman Forever and Batman & Robin were lighter and wackier because in part because of that, too.
This is one thing I really like about the 2012 series, for the most part the villains and henchmen aren't just bumbling retards who lose to a paperclip, the turtles have to work for their victories and often its a close scrape. Hell, Bebop and Rocksteady's first episode as mutants had them handing the Turtles their asses constantly.
>>318464208
They better not forget those fucking Power Rangers too.
I'd totally main both Megazord and that ranger who used to be a porn star.
>>318475538
I refuse to believe old Bobby is a fan of Platinum.
What do you think they'll pick for the turtles' voices?
87? 2k12? Or a new cast?
>>318475639
It happens. Some people are satisfied with their lot in life after making it somewhat big
>>318475969
Who fucking knows what his personal life is like?
>>318475858
But at its core, all 3 are literally the same game. Not to say that the game is bad, it is just that the game doesn't suit every skin they put it on. Transformer games don't strike me as the beat em up type and even if it did, it won't be the combo based combat that platinum does.
>>318475350
Bayonetta is a reskinned Devil May Cry, which was a reskin of earlier hack n slash games. And except for Korra they've all been good and fun.
>>318474876
I don't know how you get this
>that's you ranting at the fans for liking something you hate.
from that. I'm saying people's expectations are too high and the shiposters always use it as a crutch in explaining why Platinum is bad.
Also are you fucking serious. You reported me for arguing with you? Did I offend you?
/pol/ was right. The SJW boogeyman is real and now we're probably going to end up getting banned for calling people faggot niggers. /v/ is dead.
>>318475948
Megazord would be a final smash
They need to keep making games to keep the licenses.
Platinum supposedly always delivers on budget or under budget.
For platinum, they get to keep making games.
>>318475874

>>318476146
Devastation isn't a bad game, it just wasn't a transformer game.
GMG had it for $20 and I thought that was the perfect price. I haven't played it yet though.
>>318456165
Because Activision are more focused on developing games, even if they don't sell, and improving the state of the medium, than just making money like some other publishers.
>>318476201
What the hell made you make that assumption? I've watched the 2003 series, and it was good, it was the Beast Wars to 87' Turtles' Transformers Gen 1.
>>318476424
It's an odd time when the publishers of Call of Duty are the ones focusing on improving the medium
>>318456165
Platinum gets payed a lump sum to develop a game in a pretty cheap budget so I'm pretty sure as a whole it's a net gain.
>>318476340
This is a Transformers game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB2ITVhSrj0
>>318476432
the way you worded your statement made it seem like you never seen 2k3
>>318464991
There was already a remake of the arcade version and it was garbage.
>>318476152
Who are you responding to? No one reported you for anything, are you confused with a different thread?
>>318476340
Why not? Because the robots use melee attacks? Did you forget about Optimus' energon axe and Megatron's energon mace in the series opener, and how Grimlock would often bite and stomp Decepticons? Heck, in the Dinobots' debut episode he grabs Starscream's wing in his mouth and throws him against a cliff.
>>318475530
2k3 had a whole arc about random-ass mutants everywhere that even came along with the obvious BUY OUR TOYS "mutant-catcher gear".
>>318476709
Maybe he thinks it's to fast paced for Transformers?
I dunno.
>>318466916
I remember a page in which Donatello gets knocked on his ass defending April in her apartment, then scrambles to grab a Foot uzi that fell on the floor, then riddles the last one with lead.
>>318476709
Transformers just doesn't come across as a heavy combo game well. Maybe a more meaty beat em up in the veins of GOW.
>>318476045
I'd be fine with 2012. That show has a lot of flaws but the voice acting thankfully isn't one of them.
>>318476709
I got a notification saying I was barred from commenting. I'm not currently in any other threads. Maybe a mod thought my language was too harsh which is even worse.
>>318467215
The actors were practically blind in the suits too.
>>318476432
>liking dirty ape optimus
>>318476127
By your logic, Call of Duty and Splatoon are the same game as well. You go around and shoot things. One has killstreaks and the other has paint stuff.
Korra has style switching, Bayonetta has witch powers, and Transformers has, well, transforming. Also, upgradeable weapons.
Are Axiom Verge, Metroid: Zero Mission, and Axiom Verge the same game?
FAST Racing Neo and F-Zero?
Forza and Mario Kart?
This is how genres work.
I can see the merit in what you are saying. Yes, they are very similar. But, on the flip side, that similarity is worthless as an argument. Say that you don't believe character action fits G1 Transformers if you must, but don't play it off like it's some big world-shaking revelation that games in the same genre, particularly when developed by the same studio, are similar.

Janitors are iffy as fuck. I got banned once for saying nigger in a E3 thread.
>>318476127
It would be if they knew the first thing about Transformers. Have Bludgeon Giant Skeleton Samurai Tank or Drift the super special snowflake weeaboo complete with super special sword that kills him. Platinum could make a kickass Transformers game, if they just knew about Transformers and didn't have Hasbro and Takara telling them what the characters were going to be, who the bosses were, how to insert Nova Prime for "synergy" with the comics.
>>318476785
yeah but that's more subtle than mutant of the week shit whose existence was to sell toys
at least on that arc, the mutants themselves were not being shilled but the equipment, it only happened as an arc, and it had the best love story (Don x Leather)

>>318456165
Because sometimes companies want a game they can brag about. These companies aren't retarded, they know they make shit games. You make ford trucks and shitty mom and teen cars all year, and every now and then you make a Shelby. Something that will be amazing. A vanity piece. This is the best thing that has happened to TMNT since TiT.
>>318477157
Considering all of the nods and homages and Easter eggs in Devastation, especially how it's canon to the series and takes place during Season Two, I'd say platinum does know about Transformers.
Also, Drift isn't a cartoon G1 character, which the game is most heavily based on with a bit of the new Combiner Wars series added. And you cant get upset at a company for following the rules set down by the people they're licensing the material from, if Hasbro says they have to do it a certain way they have to do it that way.
>>318477321
I feel that only Raph needs a HEAVY BROOKLYN accent. It doesn't really suit Leo or Don and Mikey always had a faux-surfer accent.
>>318456165
Why has Activision been going to Platinum for licensed shit like this, Kora, and Transformers, don't they own like a hundred no name dev studios to pump out blatant shitty cash grabs en masse?
>>318477696
Maybe someone from Activision really likes the way Platinum's games play?
>>318476956
>there are still TRUKK NOT MUNKY people existing today
>>318457341
Always my man Raph.Unless it's one of the games where Donny's staff has an actual longer reach
>>318477503
But why not have Jazz who could have a breakdance styled moveset instead of tying movesets to weapons leaving the characters kind of generic besides Grimlock who is almost halfway interesting.
The Drift isn't G1 argument falls apart when the whole story revolves around Nova Prime a character just as "IDW's OC donut steal" as Drift.
>>318477157
>posts Drift
>complains about Inserting Nova Prime for "synergy" with the comics.
kek
>>318477881
I'm really sad that beast machines was so shit
>>318478319
Drift at least works with Platinum's gameplay style. Nova Prime reeks of "catch the latest issue of IDW's Transformers to find out more"
>>318457341
Slash
>>318478418
It had good ideas and some good moments, but overall, yeah it did fall short. The animation was very well done, though.
>>318478319
And this is why Grimlock is king.
I kind of hope they keep letting platinum make sequels to korra TMNT and transformers, they can keep having their team learn from their mistakes reuse assets and make some of the best budget ip based title games in a long time
>>318478319
I just wish you got to fight Nova Prime in Devastation since they teased it.
Devastation was fun and all but the final boss was weak as fuck which is weird for a platinum game
>>318474030
Now lets compare cybertrons sales to CoD. Cus you know, sales = Quality. Fucking faggot.
>>318477503
>it's canon to the series and takes place during Season Two
its not it is the beginning of a new IDW comic line that takes place in a universe where G1 happened thats it
>>318478627
>The animation was very well done, though.
yeah the studio got really used to the 3d
personally I didn't like many of the design choices though
>>318475350

>TMNT game made by Platinum
Is it based on the 2012 cartoon that's actually good, or the 2015 Bay movie that's complete asscheese?
>>318479232
Knowing Platinum it might be 'classic hardcore' TMNT
It could also be the recent CG one though, who knows.
I like my turtles edgy but how edgy is too edgy
>>318478936
Nice try, idiot. We were talking about what people want in a Transformers game. Guess what? People buy what they want.
>>318464991
Re-release this for 3DS with online co-op.
>>318479037
It makes a lot of references to Transformers: The Movie and Season Three, especially if you're playing as Optimus or Wheeljack and listen to a certain communication from the ship's computer. The plot also borrows a lot from the S2 episode "City of Steel", where Megatrom wants to cyberfom New Your City into a Cybertronian city by replacing the the human buildings with Cybertron buildings. The Constructicons and Devastator also play a big part in that episode.
>>318479061
Rattrap's technorganic robot mode was what I disliked most. Silverbolt going emo was also pretty bad. I also wish they explained why Megatron went from "conquer the universe" to "make Cybertron a mechanical paradise".
>>318479751
And on the Wii-U with online co-op. I'd pay the original price for it if they did that.
>>318479837
Wasn't it that his beast form for some strange reason was tied to his emotional state, so he viewed it as being lesser, as being a part of him that was not under control, impure?
>>318479682
So every dev studio should just make CoD and AssCreed. The games suck but everybody wants them.
>>318479679
That extremely casual dismissal in the bottom left.
>>318479061
Rattrap went form interesting to "oh yeah uh he was supposed to be disabled so here's some wheels for legs and also a fuccboi face"
>>318480090
Yes, no reason to abandon a working formula. You keep making these moronic arguments, this is akin to releasing a CoD RTS instead of an FPS. They're welcome to try and make that RTS but don't abandon the FPS.
>>318457341
Always pick Mikey.
>>318468209Pics?
>>318480059
That was just part of the mumbo-jumbo of BM. After he escaped from the Maximals and wound up on Cybertron before them Megatron had a complete change of plans for life, going from ruling the galaxy to being obsessed with mechanical perfection. He relished his dragon beast mode in BW.
Of course, a lot of the problem was the producers telling the writers to ignore BW for some reason.
>>318456165
>nobody will make another Turtles game in the style of the arcade games
I'm sure Teenage Mutant Bayonettas will be better than the last 20+ years of shitty TMNT games, but it would be better if somebody just copied this perfectly good game design.
>>318478450
Except that Devastation is more of a Hasbro tie in than anything. The game was pretty much a Combiner Wars advert leading into Titan Wars who has Sentinel Prime front and center.
>>318480059
In Beast Wars he did anything to press the advantage and admired his new forms in contrast with hating his dragon form in the next show. Everyone got sort of fucked by a characterization switch.

they literally said a month after release it is a prequel to the new comic story arc.

maybe the gameplay won't be "le action game with cel shaded graphics", but I'm not getting my hopes up. what nickelodeon property will they do next, bella and the bulldogs?
The whole "Platinum should make every game" meymey is coming true.I'm more than ok with that.Platinum Evil Dead game when?
>>318479942
Hell yes, I'd buy both. Also include the oc remix album
>>318480882
It can be both, especially if this is one of the universes where G1 and Combiner Wars happen sequentially.
>>318481180
I am not saying its not part of G1 I am saying its not specifically a G1 game its an IDW comics game
>>318457341
Original comics they do a bit but mostly in self-defense but there's some random one-shots where they kill a ton of people
>>318480458
what the fuck when did they ever use this design?
>>318482719
In Beast Machines. It's actually a nod to Rattrap's original Beast Wars idea where he was a crippled robot with mismatched limbs, exposed brain, and other problems.
>>318480840
I just want a ps4 and xbone port come on konami don't be dicks and activision be smart and rerelease it with bonus cocnept art and shit what ever you can find.
>>318482841
I thought the sequel to beast wars was that beast wars metalix thing? I used to watch beasy wars all the time how did I miss this?
>>318483017
Beast Machines is the cartoon sequel series to Beast Wars. The TF Wikia has more info, but it's a direct sequel that occurs after BW, continues the conflict between the Maximals and Megatron, and has a lot more philosophical material in it and gets pretty dark at times. Problem is it also changes a lot of the characters' personalities out of nowhere. If you're a fan of Rhinox, Rattrap, and Silverbolt, you will likely not like Beast Machines.

Not only time but also budget I suppose. This games certainly don't have a AAA nor a Bayo2 budget, so what they've been delivering look good enough for what I expect from a licensed game
>>318489171
>Not only time but also budget
Budget and time are two sides of the same coin.
The primary expense in game development is paying for your staff. If you want more time to work on the game your staff isn't going to do it for free and as such the budget is increased. If you have more money than you have time left before a deadline you can hire temps to pick up slack.
Budget is time and time is budget. Unless you're a one man band doing it for free no one works for free.

>>318474908
Tokka and Rahzar were just stand-ins for Beebop and Rocksteady to get around Laird saying they couldn't be in the movie. Oddly enough, Rahzar is in the 2012 cartoon with a creepy zombie wolf motif, but not Tokka (he probably would have been way too much like Slash).
