Q&A with Callum Godfrey, Transformers The Game Producer
We managed to catch an interview with Callum Godfrey, producer of Transformers The Game with Activision.
What type of game is being developed?
Transformers The Game is a free roaming action adventure which draws upon racing, flying, combat, shooter and exploration elements. It�s a game we can�t really fit into any one category, as when you think about all the amazing things Transformers can do, it naturally leads you down paths that mean pushing the gameplay little bit further.
