Transformers Fall of Cybertron behind the scenes video

Is it August 28th yet? Okay listen .. I absolutely loved Transformers: War for Cybertron. I’ve said it many times that it was the best Transformers game of all time.

BPD 007 : good price
DeaconBlade : wow $18 for Halo 4 «link»
DeaconBlade : exactly
SugarRy : By the way, I agree with you on game prices Deac. Especially if they will restrict usage on consoles and gamertags. No reason for them to charge such high prices since they will make more money now locking it down. If they dont get boycotted that is. lol
SugarRy : I am holding out hope. Its all I can do. lol
DeaconBlade : i'm just ready to find out either way
SugarRy : Well, I got some info from Greenberg but he skirted most. Just going to have to wait and see how they address this concern. If it ends up tied to one console then I wont buy. I have a feeling to use multiple consoles the same house with multiple users it will be tied to the cloud and you must be online. That will suck, but better then not allowing games on multiple consoles and gamertags.
DeaconBlade : lol
SugarRy : LOL, He said once you get it in your home you wont have any questions or this wont come up. So you expect me to buy without knowing what all I am getting. Too funny.
DeaconBlade : i'm working on a new article that i think will be a good read
DeaconBlade : i hope so too
SugarRy : MS marketing irritates me. This greenberg guy is so vague. He is asked my specific question but skirts it with vague answers and switches to the Cloud. How are you about 5 months from launch and have no response to one of the main questions that is being asked. I hope they provide details soon cause I am getting really turned off. Hope E3 answers a lot of this.
DeaconBlade : the only thing they said was NO, you won't be charged or they won't have to pay to play the same game in your household on multiple consoles
DeaconBlade : they're not saying
DeaconBlade : i just don't know how they're going to do that though. will you have to sign in on his console? will you be able to distribute it? i don't know man
DeaconBlade : he won't have to pay
SugarRy : I am just at the used game part of the cast.
SugarRy : So you saying that If i buy COD Ghosts, install in on my main xbox, but my son or wife wants to play on their xbox he wont have to pay? Only I can play it on the other consoles is what I am reading. Listening to greenberg now.
DeaconBlade : after the reveal i got some information clarified .. Aaron Greenberg personally answered my question about the install thing
DeaconBlade : but everyone in your household will have access to your games still .. just not sure how they're gonna work that now that the damn discs are irrelevant
DeaconBlade : now if you want to play the game together versus each other online then obviously as it exists now you'll need two copies
DeaconBlade : i cleared it up in the response but basically you won't be charged to play that game on other consoles in your house
DeaconBlade : i was wrong about the discs .. theyre useless now really except to install or reinstall a game
DeaconBlade : yo i posted a response
SugarRy : TX, I have 3 360's in my current house. And if you want to use the TV features of the Xbox One you would need one at every TV. Not every household has only one gamer. I have 4 in mine and we all play different games at different times. So this has a huge impact on me.
SugarRy : Now if there is a way to tie a game I buy to my family account and it can be played by anyone on my family account on any console then I have no issues. Making me use all my games from one console is ridiculous. Hopefully Sony does not do this as well.
SugarRy : LOL @ Deac. I missed that. I am probably going PS4 depending on what is clarified for it. I have multiple games in my house on multiple consoles. If its true that they can only play it if on the same hardware that is a show stopper for me. I am not buying multiple copies of the game for the different consoles in the same house. That is stupid.
EYEGotcha : I listened to an interview with Aaron Greenberg from Microsoft over on GamerTag Radio and he promises that gamers can look forward to games,games,game s at E3! Deacon and I will be front row in 2 weeks at the Microsoft press conference. WOOO!
TXPaladin : I can't see someone buying multiple Xbox One consoles for the same home. So sharing a game in the house or not is mute to me.
DeaconBlade : for Sugar «link»
DeaconBlade : lol Sugar hasn't read Unscripted 360 recently I see
SugarRy : «link»
SugarRy : Same hardware it states. So I am screwed if I have multiple consoles. If true.
SugarRy : (Parental controls will allow you to grant access to other accounts on the same hardware.)
SugarRy : Not looking to good base on updates I am seeing from MS
SugarRy : Not seeing anything related to playing off disc. Sounds like game at friends or other xbox in the house still tied to gamertag
SugarRy : Another piece of clarification around playing games at a friend’s house – should you choose to play your game at your friend’s house, there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile.
SugarRy : Update: Major Nelson has issued a statement concerning used games. We know there is some confusion around used games on Xbox One and wanted to provide a bit of clarification on exactly what we’ve confirmed today. While there have been many potential scenarios discussed, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail. Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios. Another piece of clarification around playing gam
SugarRy : Love half information responses.
DeaconBlade : yep
Thumpthis : i know 8 gigs
Thumpthis : What type of memory
Thumpthis : Deac one question
Thumpthis : If not my 360 will stay the number one consols in my house
Thumpthis : E3 MS & PS4 needs to tell all thats all I will say
Thumpthis : Tried it
Thumpthis : But understand once the 360 goes offline you cant play them all
DeaconBlade : and technically you aren't losing any games, you're just not able to transfer them over
DeaconBlade : lol probably
Thumpthis : 2 hrs long
