20th July – Transformers: The Game Release Date in the UK?
Many UK game retailers have put up listings for Activision’s Transformers: The Game for PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, XB 360, DS (x2) and the Wii. What makes this rumour possibly true is that all the websites have the same date, 20th July, which is a Friday, the day of game releases in the UK. This is also a week before the UK release of the Movie, so would also make perfect sense.
Game – PC, PSP, PS2, PS3, XB 360, DS Autobots, DS Decepticons, Wii
Gameplay – PC, PSP, PS2, PS3, XB 360, DS Autobots, DS Decepticons, Wii
Play – PC, PSP, PS2, PS3, XB 360, DS Autobots, DS Decepticons, Wii
New Transformers: The Game Screens
GameSpot have also received three new screenshots from Transformers The Game, all of which feature Bumblebee in action. In 2 of them, he is fighting Barricade and the other is against a red Decepticon.
Check out the screens here.
Welker to play Megatron
Well, unfortunately not in the Movie, but in Activision’s Transformers The Game. Both Frank Welker and Peter Cullen have agreed to provide voices for the game.
“As Transformers fans, we knew the importance of having the well-known voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron in the game,” said Activision head of production Laird Malamed.
Both actors took part in a Q & A session with GameSpot which provide very good (& long) reads.
Transformers The Game Preview
Computer and Video Games, the UK computer games, has previewed the new Transformers game, Transformers The Game, based on the upcoming Movie. The version played was the Xbox 360 version, and lets just say they came away disappointed.
Transformers The Game DS Rumours
During the past week, the Game Developers Conference has been taking place, and Activision and Nintendo have confirmed that 2 Transformers games, based on the Transformers Movie, are on their way to the Nintendo DS.
