Speaking to the FiringSquad, Traveller's Tales' Callum Godfrey, producer of Transformers: The Game, revealed several details about their upcoming videogame version of the silver screen adaptation.
Okay, first up, game mode details. Godfrey says that the game runs two campaigns, one for Autobots and one for Decepticons. He adds that while the Autobots campaign follows the movie story closely, the Decepticons campaign is a bit altered.
He adds that the missions are themed for each campaign, so expect to do a lot of protecting when playing Autobots. The stage design of each mission also factor in the fact that you can transform into vehicles, so expect to do some driving around.
There will be 9 playable characters including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Barricade, and Blackout, among others. As far as the weapons the characters will be using, Godfrey says that it will be similar to the movie.
When it comes to using the weapons, Godfrey notes that they have a targeting system that should allow gamers to switch quickly from one target to the next. They use the same targeting system for melee and ranged combat.
As we've previously reported, the game features the voices of Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and Frank Welker as Megatron, so that's a nice nod to the franchise's history. Godfrey himself says that the inclusion of the voice actors makes them happy about their project.
Sadly, the game does not support online multiplayer .
Transformers: The Game should be available this June for North America, and this coming Summer for the EU region. It is set to come out for the PS3, the Xbox 360, the Wii, the PS2, and the PC.
