Transformers MMO - 2012

[Abubakr]

Jagex have just announced that they’re working on a Transformers MMO. The UK-based company are best known for their browser based, free-to-play MMO Runescape, and specialise in free-to-play online games funded by microtransactions. Beyond the 2012 release date, no details have been announced, but a massively multiplayer Autobot vs. Decepticon war is a pretty exciting idea. What would you like to see from a Transformers MMO, aside from robots?

I wonder how this will turn out.

That 'cus most, if not all, of their games are made using Java....
Gonna be keeping an eye out for this, Jagex IMO are one of the better companys.

Edit: I wonder if they will be scrapping steller dawn for this.

Yeah, I know, which is why I'm sceptical about this project if it's non-Java and going to be an attempt at a more updated graphic style and such.

Companies where you're used to one thing, rarely succeed as well with titles where they dabble in other genres/styles, like Nippon Ichi with their Disgaea/Zettai Kingdom titles and trademark pixel art and when they stemmed into 3D games some of them lacked the usual charm of their titles (Last Rebellion fail).

Anyhow, I won't knock it until I've at least seen development videos and see how they actually take this on - they haven't actually confirmed whether this'll be a browser title or not, after all.

Robot customization is going to be the key to this game, I think. People like Transformers because of the Transformer part, and if they give us some garbage customization options the game is gonna suck.

Jagex is a big enough company and they have enough resources to make a good game, I wouldn't count on them doing something stupid and making another game using java.

Don't worry, it'll go through the onrpg process.

But yeah, I'm very skeptical too about them making it.

Then I atleast hope they'll input some runescape elements, like the leveling system, but then with weapons. Like you get gun mastery and all those things, and just lvl it.
