Sorry, Transformers didn't do anything for me. Actually I couldn't stand the linkin park rip off song playing. Where I come from Transformers has screming 80s guitars playing.

 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? 
when did people rip off Linkin Park ? i thought Linkin Park did the ripping

you haven't heard of Tool and A Perfect Circle before haven't you?

Ive seen both of those bands live ...there is very little linkin park is able to rip off from those 2 even if they wanted to.

so uh.. is that good or bad? lol

I am very excited for Hitman and Mass Effect of course...The movement in ME has improved drastically and Im happy for that. And Hitman is going to be playing like Arkham City which should make it more accesible for newcomers.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Who else saw the Last of Us trailer and immediately thought 'I Am Legend'?

(pssst--that's a good thing )


I DID!!!!! I was hoping for something that gave me the same vibe as I Am Legend or The Walking Dead...an apoctalyptic setting that focused on the relationshops between people in that kind of setting.

i'm very excited for Hitman, i just wish they shown more of the nonelinear style gameplay like the older games... so far they only shown linear stuff, and this stupid trailer

if you have played the older Hitman games you'd know about the nonelinear stuff.

Im just saying that they dont have the talent to rip off tool, so i never saw them as a band that did that. linkin park aims low...hence why they end up in end credits for transformers movies.

Unfortauntely I haven't...during my younger days I thought that Agent 47 looked like an idiot and passed on the games, and by the time I was ready to jump in the games I couldn't find the time.

but that song in this trailer is by Pucsifer  its a band by James Keenan the lead guy from Tool and A Perfect Circle
so in other words, you just said is that you can't stand the lead singer of tool because he is ripping off Linkin Park

 

looks like your arrogance of modern day music, bit you in the back this time

They're released recently all of them as a bundle on PC ,so it might be a good time to jump into the series.

Shit, nothing wrong with that universe. Probably the most interesting to ever come out of the Transformers, when you get down to it: it's a big part of why I enjoy Transformers Prime, though it's not something that will make me read the books. And yes, I will accept most kinds of gameplay because gameplay is only one component of experience, and I've been waiting to play as Grimlock since I was two Christing years old. There's more to experience than a single metric against which to measure things.

There is nothing ridiculous about my reservations concerning MGR. Ooo, we got some really quick cut-aways between Raiden attacking enemies unimpeded! Ooo, no hint of how the combo system works or if it exists! That isn't gameplay, it's about as illustrative as a cutscene is but it isn't as dynamic. The most exciting thing about the MGR trailer is its tone, and what that suggests about the direction of the game, because the gameplay just isn't there as of yet.

And I'm sorry but I listened to the Transformers Movie soundtrack, growing up, more times than you've eaten chicken. That album was great when I was ten, but it failed to do one thing and that was age gracefully. The only track that still stands up properly - it's been a couple of years - is the... I think it was Lion doing a metal cover of the Transformers theme.


Stan Bush's songs involved little if any "screaming metal guitars", since it was almost all synth (like the entire cartoon was nothing but cheesy 80s synth music, though I still love it for nostalgia's sake). The only metal songs I can recall besides the main theme are "Hunger" and "Instruments of Destruction", and both of those songs were awful. Awful.

In my post I said 80s screaming guitars. Any music that i associate with old transformers has the 80s guitar rifs and solos...synths too...80s is the key word. Main theme, Dare, The touch...anything stan bush pretty much. I must hae replayed the end credits song to the first high moon studios transformers game 30 times. I dont think those types of songs aged badly at all especially when considering actual musicianship involved in playing them. Yes they were cheesy but they were willingly cheesy. Current transfomers soundtracks are just as cheesy but dont realize it and are serious in delivery and tone which is rediculous to me.

I am not sure what kind of a gamepla showcase you wanted to see in a 2 minute trailer for MGR. At least gameplay was shown and it looked like it has potential. Works perfectly fine as a sample showcasing the greater things to come. I liked the trailer as a standalone entity as it had these little things which appeal to me. The 80s guitars for one... :D

 


Nobody in the whole world is defending the soundtracks of the recent Transformers movies, but I think you need to go back and actually give the original movie's soundtrack a listen again because except for one or two pieces (and the main theme was by Lion, not Stan Bush) it is a shambles. Now that isn't to be taken as acquiescence to the idea that Transformers soundtracks are somehow worse than they used to be: like I said before, the Transformers Prime soundtrack is completely suitable and will stand on its legs in a few years in a way that the original show's failed to do.

Seriously though

Seriously

Try listening to that soundtrack again, and then come back and tell me how cool all that synth is
