das Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Comments from transformer toy boards.Hopefully it'll look better than Runescape does. *Shudder* Jagex has that funorb thing. Full of what I guess they consider to be "online" games. they're a reletively modest independent game maker known for (reletively) cheep and free online games.If this project had someone like Bioware behind it I might rate an even speculative possibillity of it even competing with WOW, but this company? No. it should be pointed out one more time that Hasbro did NOT say MMO, they said "online game" the two are not the same. Also hope its not like runecape cause that games not that great.

@Dan3HitU Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 One year to develop a full MMO? I highly doubt it, even the best companies in the world with thousands working on a game could barely pull that off. I wouldn't expect anthing like it until 2013 at the earliest. I'm not to good on what happens when a country acquires a new licence like this, does Hasbro give Jagex he funding for it? If so, it's great news for Jagex indeed. (Please for the love of god I hope nobody comments that they are selling out or something along those lines) EDIT: What is with the sheer hate on Jagex here by the way? Hoping the game crashes and burns, thinking it will destroy RS? Where is the basis for these opinions?If it's going to be web-browser based (like most Jagex titles) then 1 year is more than enough time. They'll probably base most of it off SD layout and/or designs. [-- DYNAMIC SIGNATURES FOR RUNESCAPE 3 & OLDSCHOOL 2007 RUNESCAPE --] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer_Jesse Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 it should be pointed out one more time that Hasbro did NOT say MMO, they said "online game" the two are not the same. The powerhouse Transformers IP will next year get a brand new MMO following an agreement between casual behemoth Jagex and rights holder Hasbro. Lol, DERP. anyway, i agree with dax. it dosent really seem that theres enough of a MMO market for transformers. and Im not really sure what the fianl game would look like, so i cant really judge it yet. (coughunlikeotherpeoplecough) But i am pretty skeptical. is it java based? Is it gonna be a download game? There really isnt enough info at this time.

Utopia Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hmm.. Transformers. I enjoyed the first two movies, and I am anticipating the third, but a MMO? I don't see how it will work. Is there enough content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping the game crashes and burns, thinking it will destroy RS? Where is the basis for these opinions? They announced it today. Doesn't mean they started production of the game today as well. I'm sure it's been in the works for a while now. Jagex is good at keeping things tight to their chest until they want other people to know. Here is the Gamespot article about it as well: http://www.gamespot....nes%3Btitle%3B4 And I just noticed they didn't capitalize the "S" in RuneScape! I played the last transformers game, War for Cybertron or something like that. It was really fun, and I even played the multiplayer for a bit. After putting quite a few hours into that game, I just don't see how someone could play as a transformer for hours on end in an MMO. Looking forward to see how this plays out.

aspeeder Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Is it possible that Hasbro is planning another Transformer series and this mmo is a way to promote it? Because the old series would be very touchy to adapt, the new series wasn't very successful for the target audience of mmos, and the new movies were total [cabbage] and have too little mythology behind them. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 32 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 9 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patr1ck Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 SELL OUTS. La dee da da, I know there a god damn company and need to get bigger an all that jazz, but a transformers game from hasbro? Honestly that's the lowest of the low, do people actually believe there is a big market for games like this? These games are just created with short development times, and low budgets just to squeeze every ounce of revenue out of the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golvellius Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'll hold my tongue until I see some results, but judging by the fact that Transformers is a kids TV show... well - that already speaks volume to me.A "kids" TV show that's original fanbase are now in the prime 25-35 age band that spend the most money. Its an optimal group to market for. I think this game will be more than meets the eye and am looking forward to hearing more about it. They were action figures first and foremost.Just like GI Joe and He-man.It's what kids played with before video games caught on. You know before nintendo or sega master system.Once the toys caught on, then Hasbro decided to cash in big by having somebody make a cartoon about it.Thus the old 80's cartoon which was decent until they made that movie with Lenord Nemoy.Been utter garbage since.Unless the Gower's make it like the action figures or the old cartoon that we used to watch, then it will be utter crap like the two live action "movies".Anyway, this signals the beginning of the end for runescape as Jagex tries to become the next Activision.

Even though the RS online users has gone up since Free Trade, the overall traffic visiting the website has consistently dropped since 2007 (except for a small spike right after Free Trade). This game has been doomed for a while now. Why do you think the Gowers bowed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
