Platinum Game’s Transformers: Devastation is less than 30 days away, and gaming website Game Informer has posted a preview video in anticipation of the game’s October 6th release date. The video features Game Informer staff briefly going through the individual Constructicon figures, then using instruction to put Devastator together in combined mode.
We are also treated to new footage of the mission when you face the Constructicons in a 6 vs 1 battle, where Game Informers staff calls it more punishing when compare Platinum’s other titles like Bayonetta. The footage shows off some great game play moments like Grimlock catching a drill missile fired from Devastator in dino mode. We also got to see Devastator’s size in game against your character, giving the original combiner a real sense of grandeur when you fight against him.
Thank you board member Smokescreen72 for letting us know of the article. Check out the video at the link above, and come voice your thoughts on the new game footage on the boards.

Wow, I must say the video looked great! I hope that a game like this isn't just one on one battles, but damn if that footage with Prime and Devy wasn't SWEEEEET!…great timing for the game, and I wouldn't be surprised with kids really wanting to find the toy on shelves for Christmas.

Oooooof……looks down at script @ 1min and 31 seconds as he forgets Scrappers name.

I love how the ads load but the video doesn't.
Well done, Game Informer.

God, watching them "converse" was painful… "he's like our baby!"
How do these guys get hired? I kind of wish MORE was scripted, to prevent such language atrocities!
Maybe Hasbro should make 3 versions (1-step, power battler, deluxe), not label the bubble-cards, and then sit idly as stores place them randomly on pegs!
Fighting a team of 6, at once, is suddenly "hardcore"? I mean, they didn't really elaborate at all, but kind of stated the bad odds made it harder than Bayonetta? I'm not sure these guys actually play video games.

It's even more Funnier since Optimus Prime & Kratos share the same Japanese VA.

Damn, the battle with the Constructicons, with the 6 , i feel something especial with that, a battle without clone cons, with 6 bosses, this looks really good!

I was sold when someone once said, "imagine God of War but with Transformers."

"Hardcore Platinum gameplay… actually harder than something like Bayonetta…"
Music to this gamer's ears. Hell yes.
Seriously, the fun of their stylized brawlers isn't huge open environments, lots of characters, or anything else. It's just pure mechanical gameplay bliss, trying to chain combos together, pulling off crazy attacks with perfect timing, and unlocking everything on all the different difficulty levels. It scratches an old school itch not many games go for today anymore.

They've still got Mixmaster facing the wrong way around! Do they really not know which end is the front?

Most of the video was about Takara's Devastator toy
Matt was totally reading from a cheat sheet

Check out the original mean green Gestalt Combiner in action below. Nothing withstands the might of the Devastator…NOTHING!
