The first major TF game in 10 years… and it amounted to nothing. We the fandom continue to take L after L. At least there’s the possibility of Cybertron remasters. The fact we have even 1% more of a chance of getting them back compared to 8 years ago is insane.
why...........why is every post I've seen about this news always blames hasbro. don't get me wrong, hasbro fucking sucks, but they aren't a game development company or even a publisher. they don't own splash damage. and splash damage has made it pretty clear in their statement that this is a struggle on their front that they may have to downsize their studio. literally where do yall think hasbro, the IP licensor, factor into this
@@honteebee Highmoon woulda had a trilogy of Games, High Moon an IDW tf games where awesome even Dotm was great. This just like TF Universe except we got a beta preorders an a refund why did they not make it they where Dumb decisions in gaming as long as Hasbro an splash damage f around.
@@shadowdouglas450 are you like, having a stroke I'm not even gonna bother explaining why ROTDS was the way it was again (tldr: it's activision) but I genuinely can't parse the rest of your comment
Reactivate is that one game that has a lot of potential, but it has everything going against it. Cancelation for it was inevitable, but it stings a lot.
@@PlayWatchViewKayden Wait seriously Hasbro is 🤬 stupid man this game would have been in hands instead of the trash but nope they spend money on splash damage and got nothing return. If I were them I'll be begging to High Moon Studios to save this game
This is just super depressing to watch and it looks like that we'll never see a another Good Transformers Game and it'll probably stay that way. The Transformers Games deserves better than this.
Why should they when they took over a decade to make it, and it isn’t even finished? So much time and resources was wasted with this game’s development. It seemed like they didn’t know where to take this game. If it was released it probably would’ve been an unfinished mess or disappointing.
@@Luke_Taggart it's a live service game, it's gonna be an unfinished mess AND disappointing by design lmao look I know it's subjectivity and all but I struggle to see how this is a "looked this good" situation. it has all the telltale elements of a very typical live service slop: yes the core mechanic of the gameplay looks fine (the shooting, transforming, character skills etc) but you're put in an overblown open world with barely anything in it, and the missions that exist are such stunning revelations as "defend 3 pillars" and "defeat a surge of enemies". with the live service structure I think it's safe to assume that we're gonna have to do those missions a hundred dozen times too just to get 5% more defense for a specific elemental damage or whatever. but TF fans are too starved of content that this becomes something that's worth fighting for ig
@@honteebee to add to that, live service games need to be constantly updated and given new content in order to stay alive e.g. Fortnite. However, it doesn’t seem like splash damage would have the resources nor capability to do this if this is what years of work amounted to. It’s probably for the best that Reactivate was cancelled
@Kyle_Hanson That’s why I’m tired of everything trying to be live service. Cause it encourages unfinished and lackluster games. It also gives off the impression that the game you made was made solely for money due to all the microtransactions you shoved into it.
Basically This Confirms Wee will never gonna get another Transformers video game and that's is the cruel reality wee all have to face 😢 I already lost hope for that to happen.
Man, this game had so much potential. *This gameplay is astounding!!!!!* The graphics aren't perfect but they were still in development. They clearly would've put some top notch texturing. But man, Bumblebee looked and sounded perfect. *The hum of that engine was awesome!!!!! Oh what could've been!!!!!!!!!* 😭
Transformers Reactivate had it not been cancelled, could have been the next Fall of Cybertron, or maybe it would have been bad. Who knows how things would have gone?
As a dev from this prject posting this older footage when the body of the game isnt even cold yet is wild, you could of let us morn before we get let go lol like geez The game its self is a casulty of Hasbro not knowing what they wanted tone wise and the upper managment and hasbro changing goal posts, it went from a destiny like game to a single player story with mass effect 3 wave survive multiplayer back to a destiny like hub world and semi open world all with a fe months. Hasbro wanted a mature game but that was still kid friendly so whilst all the humans are mostly dead and converted to bio-mass for the new aliens we couldnt directly mention it. You guys are missing out on boss fights against corrupted Optimus etc and a open-ish world to explore, I morn for the art work that has been lost alot of stress and late nights with minimal thanks are now wasted R.I.P my sweet child
This game actually look good, I always wanted to play as transformers again since the last time I play Transformers The Game back in late 2000s, I remember to love playing as Blackout
When I heard that it got canceled, I then IMMEDIATELY bought the action figures that were already made. I made it my mission to rebuild my Transformers Collection and I am so sad and heartbroken to see and hear that this game got canceled when it had so much potential.
This is just sad I loved the war for Cybertron games of transformers and this game could've been like the successor to it and it would've been awesome to officially have it
This game deserved a chance 😢. Seeing the gameplay I must say that this game was awesome. But it's a matter of sorrow that such awesome game didn't see the light 😢. It was done with care and you can see the amount of details it had, after the previous transformers game it could have been a game changer. 😔
This looks amazing you know think about the fans that are on the fence of getting a new game platform just to play this game. I honestly was either going to get a 5 or a series x just for this game! Like this would’ve been the best transformers games.
because when a game gets officially cancelled and the NDA stops being valid and stuff, only then are the devs free to release this kind of thing this isn't a marketing thing, this is just a "welp this is how much we managed to get done"
This project didn't need to be scrapped, It could have been finished with a smaller team and released, It was very stupid of Splash Damage to cancel it.
Sad to hear it's no longer in development. Sad that people might've lost their jobs. But at least it is at rest now and there is no more waiting.
Big true we finally get to put it to rest.
Do you think that they might go back into development later on?
It is being worked on still..but by a different team and company and director
@@roronoamakuro1301 Source? Because the official word is that the game is cancelled.

@@JoseP564 bro, its an unfinished game. And its Unreal Engine, they can upscale the graphics even more better than this on the final product.
Its like hasbro does not care about us, i have hopes for the cybertron games returning tho, they were my child hood
One of the devs on Bluesky stated Hasbro had nothing to do with this. The cancellation was Splash Damage's call.

Unfortunate timing. Hopefully, another project will rise for us all to enjoy.
Dude are you serious. This exactly why he posted this😂
@@somerandomhater490so a another company to step in to revive this game is that you saying or something?
@somerandomhater490 Not gonna lie, I have not watched this. If they said something about it here, I missed it. My bad.
It’s not happening anytime soon by the looks of it.
@@Beysportz man you right but I wait for nothing I really to play this game for so long
Another TF game cancelled. So sad😢 thanks for releasing this gameplay tho man
We yearn for a new Transformers game. They should have let them cook with this one.
I usually wait for games to go down in price but this was a game I would purchase on the first day, disappointing it got cancelled
This is just super depressing to watch and it looks like that we'll never see a another Good Transformers Game and it'll probably stay that way.
The Transformers Games deserves better than this.
Rip transformers reactivate
The gameplay looks nice, but the game was cancelled. That's what's I heard
Yeah it was. Splash themselves announced it
Honestly, I don't see any gameplay improvements compared to the Fall of Cybertron.
@@nikiter6685 fall of cybertron was already amazing
as FOC megatron said, "Never improve upon perfection, Soundwave."
It is clear that it was in an advanced phase, I wonder what happened for the game to be cancelled and the company to have to restructure.
Hopefully hasbro's in-house development team has been cooking something up to replace this with.
Its a shame that this masterpiece got cancelled.
lol
4:28 My favorite part :)
If us fans could get our hands on this build maybe we could do something with it

What are you looking at?
Now just Imagine MEGATRON's Gameplay, damn it, why did it have to be cancelled!?
This game would be so perfect
It’s sad that it’s cancelled but we saw potential greatness
Oh god, it hurts to know it's gone it's a literal homage to the Cybertron games
Reminds me of the game Starhawk on the PS3 😢😭😭
This makes The Suicide Squad game look top tier.
Bring back High Moon
AT THIS POINT WE NEED TO START MAKING FAN GAMES
RIP Reactivate, sad to see it get cancelled. But atleast we now have some closure. So long Cowboys 🤠.

This is just sad I loved the war for Cybertron games of transformers and this game could've been like the successor to it and it would've been awesome to officially have it
THEEEE HECK THIS GAME IS COOOL WHY????
It was a nice concept 😭
All of the gameplay scream's 2017 remaster version of Stan Bush - The touch
Can't wait to see what each of the other characters do
Hasbro should release the entire cast of TF Reactivate as figures. The four they did release were quite good if not excellent.
Thats what im thinking cuz then they can still make money off of it
Hasbro BYE, Highmoon studios, BYE ,everyone involved in the making of this game...........BYE
Remember What The Took Away From Us.....
I can't believe this was cancelled. This game would have been my life
This looks absolutely incredible...Mechanically very rich
Not as good as wfc. Not even near it actually
forget about the game , hasbro itself is dyeing day by day ...
This game deserved a chance 😢. Seeing the gameplay I must say that this game was awesome. But it's a matter of sorrow that such awesome game didn't see the light 😢. It was done with care and you can see the amount of details it had, after the previous transformers game it could have been a game changer. 😔
I like how Hasbro announces they’re done working on movies to focus on video games and then this game gets cancelled
Damn. This looks fun actually.
So unfortunate, will the other transformer games be released?
This looks like helldivers 2 with transformers, we definetly got robbed
They should have released this
now this is just salt in the wound
Are there going to be more gameplay of different characters
My spark shattered and angered when I heard the news, so angered in fact I'm now making a friggen comic about what it could've been!
Can we download this as a playable build?
There needs to be more weight to the animation, the car needs to have less resistance, it’s almost annoying, how was the old footage better?
It was unfinished dude
@ it is, but the fact that the old footage looked better tells something about the company…
It's giving Transformers Universe (died like Universe did too)
If only some company or game dev has the will to finish this it would've sold well
This looks amazing you know think about the fans that are on the fence of getting a new game platform just to play this game. I honestly was either going to get a 5 or a series x just for this game! Like this would’ve been the best transformers games.
Man its sad that this game is no longer coming
We live in a timeline where Concord was Greenlit and not Transformers recactivate.
great engine noise
RIP sweet angel
Geeee i wonder why it was canceled 😢
Laserbeak, Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy, eject.
Operation: Cancellation :(
It’s sad but I knew the game was gonna be cancelled especially when nothing happened at the game awards.
reactivate really got the 1313 treatment
No offense, why are we getting this if the game was just cancelled?
because when a game gets officially cancelled and the NDA stops being valid and stuff, only then are the devs free to release this kind of thing
this isn't a marketing thing, this is just a "welp this is how much we managed to get done"
@ thanks for the sum up
@@honteebeewell I don’t think they got that much done since they had old assets to go off of from like 2017

This project didn't need to be scrapped, It could have been finished with a smaller team and released, It was very stupid of Splash Damage to cancel it.
I still have hope for this game
It would be better if all the efforts and resources spent went to a new game from High Moon Studios about Cybertron.
no surprise TRANSFOREMRS ONLINE - CLOSED / TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE - CLOSED
TF Galactic Trials made small profit for worse, ugh!
Press f to pay respect
wtf it would of outsold any game war of cybertron foc. ok we need to do as a fan I'm pissed 2nd game last was tf universe it was awesome too.
If only there was a way to get Digital Extreme to pick up the torch (They made warframe)
They might as well just salvage all those assets and make it into a single player
This looks interesting wtf
It's a pity that the development of this game was cancelled ;( 😢
Someone please remake this!
So much hard work just gone
oh my god it was transformers helldivers
All I see is high hopes for this game with this test. I am pumped
