Transformers: Devastation trailer emerges from SDCC

Continuing the flurry of media from SDCC 2015, is a new trailer for Transformers: Devastation, which will launch on 6 October for the PC, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3.

The third-person hack ‘n’ slash brawler from Platinum Games will feature five playable Autobot characters – Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Sideswipe and Wheeljack – with the option to unlock new abilities, create weapons and upgrade characters. Switching between vehicle and Transformer modes will also be present.

The fast-paced combos and the stylish cartoony look is bound to make fans of the franchise drool; is this the Transformers game we have been waiting for? Given that Platinum Games are arguably masters of the hack ‘n’ slash genre, I have no qualms that the combat is bound to be impressive or at least entertaining, but I am also cautiously optimistic about the rest.
