    FOC is probably my favourite tf game simply because of how faithful HM was to the source material when making these games. It's such a shame that activision basically kneecapped them as a AAA studio by forcing them to make a rushed deadpool game and then dismantling the studio when that game ended up being a financial disaster. WFC was the very first AAA game I ever played and FOC was everything I could have hoped for in a sequel. As for multiplayer, I did not play WFC's multiplayer when it first came out but I got seriously addicted to FOC's multiplayer back when the game was released. The controls just felt so smooth and switching back and forth between modes to traverse the maps and fight your opponents was ceaselessly entertaining. I remember begging my parents at the time to help me buy the DLCs because it gave me character models that weren't in the main game, like wheeljack, ultra magnus, the other dinobots, the insecticons, etc etc. It made customising your character extremely fun as only the upper body dictates the alt mode your character turns into, which means every other part of the character was free game to mix and match.
    I remember going to a small game convention (the first in my country at the time) and seeing a demo of WFC which was set to release that year, and instantly falling in love with the concept of it. I didn't play games outside of the occasional ipad game before seeing and getting to try that demo, so I owe WFC and FOC for getting me into my second favourite hobby/passion, my favourite being Transformers. Without seeing WFC being advertised and being able to try it, I don't know if I would be as big into video games as I am now.
    Thank you for finally covering this game, I cannot express how nostalgic this video made me feel even though I recently played the campaign again for the millionth time. It also sucks to hear that amazon has FOC in stock since it wasn't when I bought the steam key. I had to pay double the price amazon is asking for but I don't regret it one bit.
    This game was a love letter from HMS to the fans, and I fully blame activision for taking away the chance to get a third instalment to this series. As for continuity, WFC and FOC are in the same continuity as Prime in name only. Hasbro forced them into a single continuity without putting much thought or stock into how these stories play out. Prime only slightly works since it's based entirely on earth and uses characters that the games did not, but you'll have to squint hard and move past the personality changes of characters that were in both show and game (ratchet being a big one) and the flashbacks on cybertron not lining up with the events of the games themselves.
    These games were intended to be their own thing, and at most be a prequel to the G1 cartoon or a variant of G1's sequence of events, and I envision it as such in my head. The "Aligned Continuity", which is what hasbro called the continuity they retroactively created to include these games as well as Prime and other media at the time, is as misaligned as they come so I refuse to acknowledge it as such.

    • @VirtualLegacy
      @VirtualLegacy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      Thanks for letting me know more about the continuity! There's so many iterations of Transformers it's hard to keep track of everything. It makes sense that Hasbro threw the games and prime under the same umbrella for marketing reasons even if they didn't fit that well together.

    So while the cybertron games and prime are both apart of the aligned continuity , that mainly means that they share mostly the same backstory, characterization and lore so that way adaptations felt similar enough that anyone can pick it up and understand. Prime actually has quite a few discrepancies from the games. Also the ending of fall is a more dramatic version of the beginning of G1.

    In all honesty my first interaction with the Cybertron games was FoC, I didn't know War was a thing until years later. I just remember back when I found the game I found it in a pawnshop for PS3 (one of my favorite consoles despite its flaws) I was around 12. Back then I was slowly falling out of my transformers phase. I saw it and was interested and the game was what reinvigorated the franchise for me. I had put the games down for a few years until hearing the servers were shutting down then I picked the game back up. Now I'm turning 20 in a few months and Transformers is still a comfort rock in my life. I like to think that Fall and War(to a lesser degree) were the things that cemented the franchise as part of my life.

    The Cybertron games have had such a profound effect on me, beyond just gaming. I have craved this level of respect for the franchise since before they came out. The IDW run and the new comics have done it, and Bumblebee during the cybertron scenes did it. Hopefully Transformers One and it's sequels can even touch these games, and bring the franchise back into the spotlight.

      I feel FOC has a darker tone.
      You have Grimlock shanking cons like they live in London. There is the whole shotgunner trap area in Prime's missions where you see a much darker area where bots died compared to WFC. The oil splatters everywhere and then the room you get to after the trap just has Autobot heads everywhere.
      The general moods are different too. WFC sounds like there is a lot of hope to fight for Cybertron while FOC sounds more somber because that hope is now gone because the core shut down.

    Here the thing : we don't have that many transformers games.
    We got a few from the movies, a few old beast war, a couple of mobile one, and few others adapted from the various animated series. And most of them are decent, but ultimately done by contractual obligation rather than genuine passion.
    Fall of Cybertron is one of the few that were made with passion. So its only real rival in being "the best transformers games" is Devastation and War for Cybertron. So yes, it is most likely is the best Transformer Game.
    Hope one day Hasbro and Takara-Tomy will let a new studio run wild.

    The Dinobots were originally introduced (on screen) in g1 being built on earth by wheeljack around seseon 2 after they saw a museum with dinosaur displays. Their next actual appearance on screen is in Transformers Animated, where the allspark brought 3 animatronics to life, grimlock swoop and....snarl i believe was the triceratops name. Grimlock at least is also in 2015 rid, and in cyberverse. I dont know about the machinima or roosterteeth transformer shows if theyre in it or not. Also in 2001 RID there is an autobor named grimlock but hes not a dinosaur,but part of the autobor build team. Basically autobot constructicons that have a fun combination. The dinobots also are a main focus at the end of Transformers Age of Extinction and appear the first part of The Last Knight living in kades junk yard.

    Great vid!
    About the continuity stuff... Basically Hasbro was really trying to push for a ongoing continuity back in the day and tried to assemble teams to create a universe. Every show, book, game and some comics were supposed to tie into each other.
    But the supervision was kinda lacking and the developers of both TFP and the games said that if the story made sense if you squinted a lot, it was good to go.
    So basically, each developer told the story they wanted to tell and Hasbro kept telling themselves that it was all connect when everyone knew it was off.
    There are A LOT of inconsistensies, specially with the History of Cybertron, the Primes and how Orion Pax became Optimus. They tried to their best efforts to explain some of the plot holes, but in the end of the day, just face each thing as it's own.
    Either way, Transformers: Prime is a great show and while not tied-in with the game 100%, it's definetly worth checking it out for the quality alone.

    Idk if you're going to see this, but I installed the PC versions of the games off of internet archive. probably not the safest option, but it works. War for cybertron ran at 30 fps (as it was capped) but ran smoothly without any hitches really. Fall of cybertron ran extremely well, 60 fps minimum. Some weird bugs happen like not being able to interact with anything or advance any further into a level if its required by a NPCs action. Weirdly, if you alt-tab the game seems to fix itself and you can continue playing.
    They weren't emulators, just the cracked steam versions of the games. I had way more fun in Fall of cybertron but war for cybertron was also really fun and memorable. the jump in quality between the two is pretty noticable.

    I played both games back when servers were active, and I prefer the multiplayer of FOC and the escalation of WFC. WFC multiplayer was kind of restrictive when it came to character customisation since all you could change was the paint job, unlike FOC, where you can swap out whole body parts. Otherwise, it feels the same.
    Escalation in FOC lets you choose a limited number of characters in specific levels. In WFC, the maps are faction based, as in one map only lets you pick Autobots and other only Decepticons. This makes FOC escalation feel a bit more difficult since each character has specific powers and you need to cooperate properly to get somewhere instead, like in WFC, where everyone just picks a character with good abilities and sits in a corner.

    17:15 That was a Hasbro decision, they wanted to make series of unrelated media linked with eachothers for marketing purpose.
    While Transformers Prime itself is nice, it simply is just too much of a stretch to be able to link it correctly to WFC and WOC

    Great video! I'd say both War and Fall are a tie for me when it comes to the best Transformers game. I think FOC had a better story, better graphics, music, character customization, and climax moments. But WFC for me has the better multiplayer and escalation. Revenge of the Fallen had an amazing multiplayer though.

    And speaking about continuity with Transformers: Prime. It's not a good idea. There are lots, LOTS of plotholes if you compare them. Starting with Sounwave and ending up with dark energon. It will be better to consider them as different universes with some similarities in details

    A fan group has resurrected the servers. It's called the Transformers Reengerized Project. Though it's been out a year or 2 now and they've modded it a bit so it's not a true revival anymore. I abandoned it after that but may be worth checking out.
    The Aligned continuity follows the "squint test" as someone at Hasbro stated, the different media stories do fit together if you're not looking hard enough 😆

    Fall of Cybertron was an absolute blast to play. I definitely would say its the best Trasnformers game I've ever played. I don't remember having any issues with performance when I played, but I had an XBox 360 Slim and it was about a decade ago that I played consistently. The campaign was amazing and multiplayer was a blast, I remember really loving capture the flag because I was very good at it. I would love to see a third installment that is an actual sequel, I really don't think transformers Prime or the Live action series are a good follow through for these games and they have so much more value to potentially bring to the table.

I don’t feel alone when I’m playing. I will say the missions in FOC and the fun upgrade system is really fun which I do like more, but at the same time I love the gun variety in WFC. The combiners and dinobots were the highlight for me. That being said I also found Grimlocks mission to drag on a bit to long. Overall I get why people prefer this one, but for me WFC takes the win. Also, multiplayer has Arcee. Who is my favorite transformer otherwise if they had more female customizations I’d definitely prefer multiplayer in FOC.

Not that WFC's multiplayer was bad, but it simply didn't hold my attention for any substantial amount of time, I would always return to WFC's campaign. But FoC's multiplayer........was just so addicting. I can't remember the specific differences between them.....only that I have since DESPERATLY felt the urge to play FoC's multiplayer again, and was deeply saddened when I found it wasn't available on steam (though thanks for letting me know about the amazon thing, i'll look into that atleast). if there was a game with the co-op WFC gameplay loop, and FoC's multiplayer experience, i'd easily nolife it for years.

    Okay, I'm not sure if anyone's said this, but the "Aligned" Continuity is not very aligned as it claims to be. There are so many issues and inconsistencies with it. For example, 2015's Robots in Disguised (RID) has Grimlock and Sideswipe in it. Now, at first, you might think "oh, that doesn't sound that bad, it's just those two returning." Well, that's actually quite wrong, as these two are NOT the same ones we see in both War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron, especially for Grimlock, as he starts off as a Decepticon in that series. Again, the whole Aligned Continuity is so messy that this is only one of MANY issues with it

    PC FPS is still locked, and unusually too. Reportedly its "60 fps" but if it is it sure doesn't feel like it. Some physics are FPS based so going beyond can cause issues though there are easy methods to unlock the fps. I choose 90 and it's generally pinned there and the gameplay and shooting feel incredible as a result (except for a few vehicle parts getting funky with mouse control)
