currently in development and will deploy in North Africa, Asia, Russia and the Middle East
There is no word on Australian, European or North American versions of the game."
its gonna fail
I read this and posted on it earlier I think but I just read the list that's getting it in comparison to the list where it's not going and almost died laughing. I'm not sure this is worth an announcement. Btw is Transformers that big in those places?
but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....
yeah, i bet theres tons of Transformers fans in Africa, the Middle East and Russia... tons even
...and i'm totally seeing all of them subscribing for such an MMO...
So basicly it will be a F2P with endless grinding (F2P = Grind, Asian = Grind, end result is Grind + Grind = UberGrinding fun game), and i can totally see African + Middle East + Russian all taking in English ingame
Originally posted by korvass I thought people in Africa were starving. I guess I don't need to donate to charities if they can afford to play MMOs... ...or am I just being naive?
I'd think the later. Since North Africa is mostly Egypt and last I heard, they are doing reasonably well.
Kinda pathetic of them to release a game (based on a IP created in the U.S.) in damn near every gaming country but the one that spawned it. But you can bet it's because Activision has the rights to publishing Transformer games in the U.S. and Hasbro is forced to outsource it's IP to make a buck or two.
I'm sitting back on this one and hoping for a huge fail. It's not like we will get a chance to play it as it will definately have IP blocks for both the U.S. and Europe (in sticking with the no US/Euro games agreement)
actually this IP was made by the japanese.
Eh actually maybe it wasn't , i better double check.
Looks like it was created by an american and japanese toy company.

The Tranformers was created by a Japanese Toy Company. Which was bought by Hasbro. So it is Japanese, and American.
"The Transformers toyline was originally created and produced by Japanese company Takara Tomy (Formerly Takara) and branded as Diaclone and Microman. In 1984, Hasbro bought the distribution rights to the Diaclone and Microman toylines and rebranded them as the Transformers for distribution in North America."-Wikipedia
I kinda don't like the sound of this company making a TF MMO. I played Eademons, and I didn't like it too much. So I'm a little skeptical this company can make a MMO that can fit this legendary universe's stature. I hope Activision instead makes a MMO out of this series, because of their experience with this universe.
Is this gonna be another IP sent down the pooper for the good of earning a few $$$?
Why won't it be getting a NA/EU/AUS release but it's getting a North Africa and Middle East one?
Oh I see...maybe it wasn't licensed for the US/EU/AUS to keep the option open for another developer to pick up in the future?
At least I still have hope for a Masters of the Universe & Smurfs MMO somewhere down the line.
Dont' count on a Smurf mmo my wife wouldn't let me have my computer back be happy with your movie.
I thought North Africa was a typo but it gets me thinking, does that make South Africa to Western?
Don't coun't out a Smurf mmo. You could ban pvp and have it interface to your Facebook page so we could all see what cool stuff you are doing in Smurf Village, Yay!

Transformers MMO announced initial reation YESSS!!! AWESOME!! After reading the artical it might as well have been Hasboro has granted the IP to two guys with a box of crayons and it will only be released in Antartica.

This is probably the first and only time you'll see me type this : "LOL!"
Seriously? Transformers MMO? The series has a crap on story line , everyone would probably pick Optimus Prime , will most likely fail as STO ... I'm gonna have nightmares . It's one of those bad ideas like the flying cars that were approved not long ago , can you say Al-Qaeda? lol ... transformers mmo , can you believe these guys ... oh sorry was typing to a friend of mine and he too finds the idea pretty lame. I can already see it coming ,to sale the game, the only female character available : Megan Fox...LOL .... allright enough "trolling" .
LOL a f*kn transformers mmo...ain't we got enough crap available from Asia already...?
I don't even wanna know about it's release , so with that said : Sweet dreams!
P.S.: This announcement has giving me back the "LOL" syndrome. Also I was a big fan of the 80's/90's Transformers. The movies : meh , good for kids which I got no problem with. Seeing it as a MMO? It's like viewing my grandma getting out of the shower without her towel , so you get the general idea.
LOL to the people who think it is arrogant that the game is not going to be released in North America, well get over yourself.
When you release all over the world except where the IP is most appreciated, then something is fishy.
What am I talking about? I am talking about that in order to get the original movie take on VHS you could not get it in the US. The only place who had it was Austrailia. They love Transformers over there as much as the US. And the Canadians. To say that HASBRO has officially branded it, and HASBRO has no marketing going for it is... odd.
The whole thing sounds fishy from the start. Much like the Terminator Online game, which was a FTP with microtransactions and completely webbased and no shooting. Ripoff of my time.
I can only hope this will be something like CosmicBreak (action/shooting MMO), rather than the industry-standard MMORPGrind. Then it could actually be fun. Kind of.
well this seems like a ok idea i dont see why not i mean theres a big enough crowd that likes transformers and mmorpgs i think or mabey not we will see but i think it will do fine as a mmorpg
While I do agree with some posters that this IP has massive potential with character customization and so forth! I also have to agree with the posters that either say it's gonna flop or be a massive grind fest with little to no character customization there are gonna be a bazillion bumblebees floating around in game! And not releasing to to the top MMO markets first is not gonna help this at all.
I've always liked perceptor (transformed into a microscope in the cartoon) or that one autobot that turned into a tank......i forget his name. But really all we can do till it comes out is hope, maybe if we all wish real hard itll turn out a great game........... lol. A Transformers MMO would be very awesome indeed if it is done correctly.

Just goes to show you how out of touch I am.
I thought everyone would scoff at the very idea of a Transformers MMO!

Knew it was coming sooner or later.

Wow, such potential. Too bad it'll probably turn out to be a F2P browser based P.O.S..
I hope I'm wrong, but I'm still pretty disappointed by the news about the BSG mmo.
Name one succesful game based on a movie, tv or cartoon ? You right there is none, they all failed and this one will be no different.
I thought North Africa was a typo but it gets me thinking, does that make South Africa to Western?
