High Moon Studios, the creators behind the popular and successful Transformers Fall of Cybertron game stated in a Q&A Thursday that they are not planning any future downloadable content for Fall of Cybertron.
The statement is as quoted below:
Can you add more colors and characters?Unfortunatly not. Each color, new character, or really anything that gets added puts demands on what the game can support technically. At this point with the largest roster of Tranformer characters ever and dozens of colors we have reached the limit. Sorry Sludge fans!
Will you be adding any DLC maps?
A number of our fans have expressed an interst in buying DLC maps, however we feel this will have a negative impact a player’s ability to quickly find a full match. This is a major learning we made from War For Cybertron. The addition of paid DLC maps splits the player community between those with the maps and those without.
This is obviously a huge disappointment for those who have been playing the game on a regular basis and enjoying it, but have started reaching the end-game limits. Many fans have questioned if games such as the Halo franchise can release map packs for over a year after the game is released, and Left 4 Dead 2 can continue to release new campaigns and multiplayer maps years after the game was released, why can’t High Moon Studios do the same with Transformers Fall of Cybertron?

sequel to transformers foc
i think they can easaly make a sequel to tf foc the end wasent relly an end and they never show them make it to earth (i think itd be cool it thet took the transformers to unicron )let me know your thouts
MindChamber
I don't know why they ever changed physic systems, I believe the first one was "PyhsicX" and for some reason they went to havok.
which By most standards is pretty bad. In WFC I used to jump through pathways and windows with ease in vehicle mode. Even did so why doing 90 degree hops. Now my vehicle wigs out if I go anywhere near the geometry. Even when Im not near it, and just driving down a ramp Id sometimes smash into invisible barriers connecting the ramp and the floor. Flipping my car head over tail. (its much worse when youre a dinobot). this didn't happen all the time, but it happened enough to force me to play safe and slow, and that wasn't fun for me.
And who's the genius who thought they could save money by not giving the dinobots a strafe animation? Making your dinobot strafe by using the run animation sideways, obscures your view, and gives your opponent a bigger target.
Face it HighMoon, is a low tier developer trying to make triple A titles. Their past record proved they don't have what it takes, so Im not so sure why we are so surprised now.

I honestly thought that when the dinobots dlc was announced that they would bring them too the escalation mode. After I got it and found out they are just multiplayer skins i was severly disappointed. They could of easily given them a escalation mode, and i really wouldn't of cared if it was on a old map. I just want HMS to develop a game and keep with it.
Soundwave2
Well, that sucks. I was so happy getting this game and was hoping there'd be a crapload of DLC out by now. Looks like I'll be trading it for Colonial Marines now. Thanks, Barricade

Sadly, that is the case. You only get four levels. FOC had a lot of potential but I was dropped to quickly. If High Moon had listened to the fans more instead of claiming that they were "working to make FOC the best it can be" they could have actually listened to the peoples feedback.
Soundwave2
Sorry if these are dumb questions, but are the 4 Escalation stages all there are and you can't even use the Dinobots? I feel like playing ths game again but the reason I stopped in the first place was I got tired of the same 4 stages.
Shizuka
Like I've stated before, what pisses me off the most is how HMS were acting like they were so excited for this game then 3 months later they abandon it. I wish that a few people could remain behind to support this.
Ultrawave
I think we can all agree that the problem was this:
During development, HMS was like SPPPAAACCEE T-REX! FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE AND ANYONE WHO CARES!
And thus Fall Of Cybertron was made.
Autoboticon
Ooooh
vatarian
It's not right to present your opinion as a fact either.
Onslaught24
i agree. although i love FOC, i was just more addicted to WFC's MP. not entirely sure why but i remember looking forward to playing everyday. i just wish FOC's MP was more like WFC's while still utilizing FOC's customization options (with the exception of the current color system that is)
Shizuka
The MP just isn't fun enough for me to want to keep playing and even when I do play I can't find good matches because HMS are too idiotic to have given us AI controlled bots which is a must in every MP game for obvious reasons.
If the maps were actually good then I wouldn't mind playing but the're so bland that the fact that we're not getting new ones is disheartening.
Wikkid
I'm still playing FoC. I just don't find it as addicting as WFC was. I'm okay with the sprint and can get by without the massive loadout WFC offered, it's just the horrible flow (Sticking to everything in MP) of the game that's keeping me from loving it.
Sso02V
It's not right to lie.
transformervic1
Same here. The fact that tf fans are abandoning such a fun game over a few changes to the multiplayer is disheartening.
scoobsterinc
I wish more people said this
transformervic1
No map packs or DLC huh? Oh well, I don't give a sh*t. The game is still extremely fun with or without more DLC.
vatarian
Huh. Perhaps it's an issue specific to the afore mentioned console, seeing as I've never had the problem.
Wikkid
PS3.
It's the vehicle mode that gets stuck. Aircraft are really bad for it but the tanks, cars and trucks do as well.
vatarian
Stuck in door ways? I haven't lagged AT ALL in that game. ever. Are you on the PC?
