Transformers: War For Cybertron (Multiplayer Preview Trailer)

May 052010

It’s not often that both Transformers fans and gamers have something to celebrate together. In fact, the last time was NEVER. The more info that pours in about Transformers: War for Cybertron, the more I allow myself to dream the little dream of having good, if not great, Transformers game.

What we have here is a trailer showcasing some of the online multiplayer versus modes such as the always popular Team Death Match and what appears to be an explosive version of hot potato, Count Down to Extinction. A dose of extra happiness comes in with preview reports stating that the game controls rather well especially the Uncharted-esque, over the shoulder, 3rd person shooting.

To all the sharp-eyed, Transformers nerds out there (your author included), you might notice everybody’s fan favorite fem-bot, Arcee toward the end of the trailer as well as the surprising addition of what appears to be the evil fem-bot Slipstream, from the criminally cut short Transformers Animated. Even with the insistence of using a movie-like voice for Megatron, you have to appreciate the fan love going into this thing.

Transformers: War for Cybertron rolls out for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Windows and DS on June 22, 2010
