* Gameplay seems similar to the Transformers mobile game, Transformers: G1 Awakening, in which characters move around on a 2D landscape, and switches to 3D during battles between characters.

* Each character has seven different attacks of varying strength, each one needing an escalating number of points to use.

* Points are earned by a character each turn, with bonus points awarded for blocking enemy attacks.

* Part of the strategy sounds set to revolve around picking whether to employ low-level attacks to harass enemies, or to take a few rounds to stock some points to bring out a more powerful attack.

* Each character has a character-specific super move, which is activated by using a specific amount of Energon, limited for each mission, so strategizing when to use these moves are paramount. An example of this is Optimus Prime's Vanguard ability, which makes enemies focus on Optimus to give other allies time to withdraw or regroup.

I wouldn't get a 3ds for this game. If you want a Turn based strategy game, get the 3ds for Fire Emblem:Awakening, not this. A transformers TBS on the 3ds is a waste of potential.

I know right? The DS could handle 3rd person and first person shooters and the 3ds does those even better. Why not a shooter? It could be because most people aren't conformtable playing shooters with the 3ds without an additional circle pad and i'm sure no one will go out of their way to get that and a 3ds just for this game. I won't even do that. We can look at KidIcarus:Uprising and the wide criticism it received for awkward controls. I know you weren't specifically meaning a shooter, but that's really the only other genre I can see this game as (and prefer it to be). What would you rather it be?

Am I the only one who thinks the 3ds can handle better graphics than this?

No. The graphics on this are first-generation-DS quality at best. It looks more like a cheap iPhone/Android app than an actual video game.

I'm not sure. The graphics in MGS3d and KI:U looked better than this. Maybe it's the size of pic.

Another trailer for ...wait, it's Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark and not the movie! And it's a big one, as Fall of Cybertron and Age of Extinction both show up their fierce brawling, metal chomping, fire breathing warrior: Grimlock. Check him out in the embedded clip below, courtesy of the GameStop YouTube channel.

Looks like it,

Not bothered by the re-use of FOC models/anims. Hopefully they focus on the gameplay and not some high graphics standard set by the new-gen consoles.

End of this month, game time!

Reuse of models isn't a big deal to me. I imagine they did try to optimize it for next gen/ PC.

I'm probably not getting the game but I'm happy to finally see some form of AOE Grimlock's robot mode other than the toy. Hopefully it's a good enough representation of what to expect should he transform in the movie. AOE Grimlock's head looks a bit different from the figure though. Looks like he has some kind of visor.

Okay, so if FOC Grimlock is in this in his dino body... then I honestly don't see how the FOC parts of this game could possibly fit seamlessly into the story of the actual FOC video game.

Until now, I was thinking it could fit after Megatron's resurrection but before the launch of the two starships, yet Grimlock's dino body activities in the FOC game were so tightly-knit and time-constrained that I honestly now cannot see any way to possibly squeeze RotDS's FOC parts into the main game.

RotDS looks like it'll have to be considered its own separate continuity from the main WFC/FOC games continuity, but still inspired by the continuity of those game.

What's up with AOE Grimlock's face? It's a completely different from what we've seen on the toys.

Once I saw the gameplay of Grimlock I had the same question.

But so far all of the WFC/FOC characters have been on Cybertron. And remember that Grimlock didn't get on the shuttle at the end of FOC. So as long as FOC Grimlock's gameplay stuff happens AFTER the shuttle leaves, there's a chance it might still fit.

I know it's been said that this is all supposed to happen before FOC, but that's all I've got.

Unless there's time travel involved, which I really hope isn't the case . . .

Based on how Skywarp and Thundercracker acted in the WFC game I can't help but think that they reversed the character readouts, since Thundercracker was more of a scientist and Skywarp a warrior.

I may end up getting the game for PC since it's only 49.99, and in Canada every other platform has raised it's prices because of the Canadian dollar failing (new games are 69.99 instead of 59.99.) While Steam hasn't changed it's prices because of the dollar failing.

if i didnt know this was dark spark id swear it was footage taken from WFC & FOC. The graphics dont even look next gen ,yeah its a low quality condensed video but still the lighting and particle effects look like the previous games. Only way id run out & buy this day 1 is if they can guarantee me that the campaign is 10-15 hours or more not including cutscenes & has replay value. If its just FoC with bayformer stuff thrown in then ill wait til its around $10 or $20. Plus sniper elite 3 comes out the week after so they'd really need to do something grand to get me to pick this up instead of that.

You're gonna be waiting a very long time and some fairly high expectations tbh.

Activision games almost never droip in price under the first year it's out (Steam sales being the exception), FoC is still over $40 in stores.

A 10-15 hour campaign is pretty rare to get, A lot of recent games are only 5-8 hours. Every CoD games in 6 or less, same with every BF game, even the most recent Tomb Raider only took me 8 hours to beat. Doesn't seem like a realistic expectation.

I am cautiously curious about this game. I did not like FoC very much but I adored the first. In Foc they butchered Escalation. The same 4 maps and only a handful of maps and the same characters each time really blew away any re playability the first game had. I only could tolerate and handful of matches

I may wait and see some reviews/ character and map rosters before I bite.

I totally agree with you bro.

To add to the why Escalation is bad compared to WFC:
- Characters almost don't talk at all anymore
- Enemies don't transform anymore
- Way to easy, with the gun upgrade and "set dificulty" option
- Limited amount of only 4 characters! Why?
- Only 4 maps, they should've spammed that mode with at least 8
- Wave limit of 15, you should always end in defeat in an Escalation game
- Ammo beacon is kind of overpowered, as is heal beam
- Maps should've been bigger

I still play WFC Escalation, I love Brawl, Thundercracker and Arcee.
Why isn't Arcee in FOC anyway?

FOC has a better singleplayer and multiplayer. Everything looks better and
the controls are better. But Escalation should've also been better, it's my favorite
game mode.

Possible spoiler alert, though.

Excited to get your mitts on Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, to be released in three days? How about to go view Transformers: Age of Extinction, to be generally released in six days? Can only afford one of the two?

Why not both?

Video game retailer GameStop has you covered!

So after watching a video that contains all the cutscenes of Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark's story, I'm feeling a little mixed.

The Fall of Cybertron components are good, but the Age of Extinction component felt thrown in there just because the new movie's coming out in three days. Not to mention that ten of the fifteen missions take place in the Fall of Cybertron setting. Also, it doesn't really explain how the Dark Spark is able to traverse between dimensions. I was also expecting some inter-dimensional shenanigans going on, like having both Optimus Primes meet and team up to defeat their common enemy.

Overall, I feel this is more of an expansion of Fall of Cybertron with a bonus "this is what an Age of Extinction game would look like if it were made by High Moon Studios" scenario than an actual game. I'll still get the game, but it won't be anytime soon.
