The Starscream theme
Just seeing the video in my feed made me look up the theme. Karl was right, they had no right to go that hard on the theme. I love it.
Same
As long as karl keeps going on about it, I won't forget it.
With karl smallwood
I honestly want a sequel it really deserves a sequel this game actually left me on a cliffhanger
The same is also true for "Transformers: Fall of Cybertron".
I agree
@@Optimegatrongodzilla actually I believe the Transformers: Prime Tv series is a continuation of the games
@@laurensahanna5826 That was the original intention, but it ended up having a number of contradictions and being it's own thing.
@@Optimegatrongodzilla it still is, even if a few things contradict each other, one of the producers put it best " it aligns if you squint" henceforth aligned continuity
We need a sequel to Transformers Devastation.
Omega Maximus astral chain
Dvnbly X2 completely different games but I’m still hyped af for astral chain
I didn't get to play the first one but the gameplay looks cool and want to play something like this.
Transformers
Devastated
@@marcorizo1387 It has the best non-gun combat of any "Transformers" video game, and an entertaining story to boot. It leaves a lot to be desired for what I want out of a "Transformers" video game, which is something I can say for all "Transformers" video games, but it's a must-play for any die-hard "Transformers" fan, which is also true for "Transformers: War For Cybertron" and its sequel, "Transformers: Fall of Cybertron".
I never really was too harsh on the story because like G1, it's completely ridiculous and I can't really dislike it for that...
I hope someone makes another competent Transformers game based on the classics. There's a massive market for nostalgia right now so surely it's possible
Yeah. But I want another one.
Everyone loves nostalgia any time any day any second
I just wish for a crysis 4 a good one tho
Like crysis warhead or crysis 1 the graphics were amazing i still feel they are better than todays graphics bcs today nobody really tries to make good games instead copy a random game thats in trending
Siege war for cybertron trilogy is probably getting a game
@@Theonlyone-yy2hf If Highmoon studios and Hasbro decides to collaborate again.
@@tingpekang1087 too bad high moon got shut down
One of my favorite analysis channels! Glad you talked about this hidden gem! Since you talked about Devestation, I think it's only right for you to do a video on the Cybertron games! Both games are severely underrated and I feel like they deserve more love after their legacy was tainted by Rise of the Dark Spark. What a freaking tragedy....
That’s what greed-driven movie tie-ins will do for ya... I still play FoC but hardly anybody plays multiplayer (not Escalation) on Xbox One. Oh, and I watch your videos. Great work.
I really wish a miracle would happen and they would either remaster WfC or properly finish the trilogy.
Transformers PS2 mods when?
@Tyfurm
Replace the standard blaster with spider tank charge shots
@@EnderTitan We need a sequel! And, since the plans for those vid games to take place in the same universe as "Transformers: Prime" got derailed, they can go in whatever direction they want to.
The games being overlooked had a lot more to do with it than Rise of the Dark Spark. Because ya know, they're actually better than mediocre quality, so of course they were overlooked.
Downloaded it when it was free on PS plus and you know what...it was fun af. You actually feel like you're kicking ass when you find your Transformer to use. (Bumblebee can be unstoppable)
When was this free?
@@maegnificant years ago
@Tyfurm damn!
I used Sideswipe alot and Optimus
Sideswipe and Bumblebee are the best in the game, their combo cancel mechanics make this game super easy tho, but I love it. You can do so many infinites with them also
I'm gonna say it, Transformers Devastation is my favorite Platinum Games title and probably one of my favorite beat 'em ups ever made. There are so many nuances to the combat and advanced tech options, it's nuts.
So imagine my joy when I saw this video in my sub feed. :)
Wasn’t expecting see ya here
(Note, it’s cuz of your videos that got me to play Devastation in the first place :p)
@@ryon5174 I'm glad I made you give Devastation a shot. I really really like the game. :))
Completely agree
This is my all time favourite transformers game. And I think it’s a shame we will probably never get a sequel and a pay-off for that After credits scene of Nova Prime awakening from the depths of the proudstar
Never say never.
"There is no parry"
Me: Just unlocked the parry move
Imo, the parry move is kinda... pointless. I do more damage by dodging and attacking during focus.
@@letsgogaming8112it definitely isn't ad great as MGrs parry
@@JayPlusForerunner K so I have about 10 more hours of play time since my original reply and I discovered that the parry does have ONE minor use: When you're fighting against a melee enemy that hits multiple times (ie; Elite Seeker), you can parry to stop them from combo-ing you to death. Although I rarely ever get caught in situations like this.
@@letsgogaming8112 you can also quickscope with a sniper to stop a combo
It's a bit faster
Something funny, I actually killed Menasor in one hit as Wheeljack.
I was pinned in a corner in the air in vehical mode. I used his ultimate attack and my screen flickered black boxes and then Menasor was dead.
The game might’ve accidentally teleported you inside menasor and glitched out your damage Numbers.
@Spider-Man hey I’m not a programmer I was just saying what came to mind
I wish we got a sequel. My favorite TF game.
Yeah i wish they made TF2
All we want for Christmas is another good Transformers game. Rest in peace Fall Of Cybertron.😢
They should release this on Nintendo switch
Decepticons have deception in their name which would explain Menasors actions
This… RIGHT HERE… is (my humble opinion) the VERY BEST of Generation 1.
I see War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron and Devastation as the a Transformers I’d ALWAYS wanted.
I play this game * to this day * (farming, uograding weapons, etc), and got it on day 1 release 6 years ago. The artwork, gameplay, script/story, voice acting and overall presentation make this (again, in * my * opinion) the very BEST version of Transformers.
I’m still surprused at how many haven’t played it yet… it’s an absolute masterpiece.
Cheers, all.
This game is severely underrated. The boss fights are so goddamn fun too, they did my boy Soundwave justice.
One of my favourite games ever. As a massive G1 Transformers fan, I loved everything about it, still like to crank up my PS3 for the odd game of it from time to time.
... And still, all these years later I'm yet to find an SS Prime's Axe.
Played this on Hard Difficulty and I had a blast man. Definitely the best Transformers game since the Cybertron games.
When I first saw that combat system I definitely got that game. I still have it to this day. And also the music is a godsend. Of course when I first heard Blitzwing's theme it made me feel like I was in combat mode.
I really, really like Devistation, such a kick ass game.
And yes, FOC is still the best Trasformers game. Such a shame we don't get any now.
Louis Belmont because it’s all on mobile now, sadly
But since Activision no longer has a license to use the IP, you can't get any of their titles digitally and will need to find a physical copy.
So?Physical games are better anyway
High Moon Studios Cybertron series review when
They had good stories and voice acting, but i could never get past the Bay inspired character designs
@@whodatninja439 i personally think they look fantastic. The characters designs are a nice blend between the G1 design and the 3d nature of the game. And the transforming animations are second to none. Also I personally don't see the visual connection to Bay's Transformer design.
@@whodatninja439 They're more like the idw comics-verse designs, which are a good blend of new/old
@@whodatninja439 Bay had really nice looking character designs so I don't see how that's a problem. Plus, the game looks closer to the G1 designs than Bay's designs.
@Adrian he could have been talking about rotds or dotm.
I really need to give this one a try. My favorite TF game is definitely Armada on PS2, so many hidden gems like that one during the era. I like WFC and FOC too.
Honestly one of my favourite games
Way too underrated
Adrale4gotten Agreed. The cybertron games and this were extremely underrated and it’s a shame that you can no longer buy any of the games cause activision didn’t renew the license.
@@NutsorSomethingBerserk Walmart still sells the physical copies
They need to have a squeal where you get to play as the decepticons and the final boss is nova prime
The fact you’ve actually played most if not all of the “modern” transformers games just amazes me.
Some sort of brief overview of all of them with your review style would be amazing, but admittedly probably wouldn’t be very popular.
the story in my opinion was very interesting the fact that optimus has to choose btw preserving his culture or sacrificing it for the sake of earth the twist with nova prime those were some good plot points
War for Cybertron, that was one of my first games ever played, never managed to finish it. So many memories from that game. Rock on Whitelight!
It will never be forgotten. I literally just reinstalled it yesterday for "research" purposes for the game I might be making. Thanks for the vid.
Your explanation on Transformers was superb. Can you do a review on the Devil May Cry franchise?
This channel is amazing, I love your reviews you definitely deserve a lot more recognition. After your Darksiders 2 review I was completely hooked on your channel and now I watch every single video of yours, keep up the good work mate.
Pretty sure there is a parry mechanic you have to buy it though
There is.
It's a platnium game of course it does. if they made a sims game, they'd find a way to put it in.
I’ve never forgotten, because I’m still waiting anxiously for it to be put back on steam, especially with Hasbro reconciling with Activision after the merger, for a lack of a better term.
Someone uploaded a video about 10 XBOX 360 games that he feels should be sought out for a persons library and Transformers: Devastation was one of them.
I have a document in which I (try) to keep track of all video game purchases, but when I looked through my list, Devastation was nowhere to be found. I knew I had it so I searched through my collection of games starting with the PS4 and there is was, the PS4 version. I clearly remember after finding it that I got the very last (gutted) copy several months after the game launched. Even then, the game was difficult to find, especially a new copy.
I say that to say that I hope you find away to play it or a physical copy if that is what you are looking for.
License games are always tricky, because there is a high probability that the rights of the game switches hands which could mean bad news for a reprint after being on the market for a few years, a remake, or rerelease.
Lesson learned for me is to add all remaining games I own to my documents so that there is no question whether I own a physical copy should I need to know without having to search through my collection.
It’s actually criminal that not only can we not play any of cybertron nor devastation games anymore but that we ll likely never get a decent sequel for any of them spiritually or narratively
Blitzwing is still such a horseshit bossfight. And that soundtrack....sweet merciful lord it is beautiful.
Is it copyrighted
Thanks for doing this video. It needed to be made for this game. I bought it recently and I feel like it is very underated. It’s a near perfect Transformers game. And I was surprised by the story too. I expected this game to be more arcady without an interesting story but it was actually preety interesting.
I love this game, the combat, the music, the graphics, it's all so awesome. I wish there would be a Devastation 2 but the chance is likely just as much as we would get a Revengeance 2 at this point.
Nobody cares about good games anymore
Im trying to learn how to develop games etc
I dont care about money
Only fun
So if i succeed some day i will give a try at making a game that gives nostalgia
One of my best memories from this game was battling starscream while being teleported to the con’s base. My health was at it’s lost point, point somehow I managed to carry on to dodge every other attack and kick his ass. It was beautiful, intense, and breath taking.
I LOVED THIS!! Totally bought it on a whim a few years ago and was so pleasantly surprised
Holy shit, thanks for this video. I recently started playing Devastation because it's one of the only Platinum Games titles that I haven't played at that point and it quickly became one of my favourites. That fucking OST, man.
I love the game, one of the only things i didnt like though was
A: the lack of playable decepticons. Seriously, i need to get dlc just to play as any form of Decepticon.
B: lack of co-op. There are 5 autobots to play as in every chapter. So why not a splitscreen mode?
Agreed. Instead of having the other 4 bots suddenly disappear even though the previous cut scene had them all together, why not let other people jump in to play as them?
Well, 30 seconds into the video, I'm glad someone still remembers this game. It might be a bit repetitive, but the soundtrack is incredible and the fighting system is very solid and rewarding if you're good enough. Like that game, and thank you for remembering it too.
FYI, being Captain Pedantic here, but you mention in the video about only being able to take out guys with shields with rush attacks. There are actually quite a few other ways to do it too. Laser guns can shoot through them. Reversals with any character will work. Optimus's trailer slam special move breaks shields and Bumblebee's special lets him slide behind them and back attack. Grimlock's Dino form shove attack will smash shields and all his grab counters (and grab special move) will also work on them.
this was wonderful going back into this game with you and on a whole you have to be the best reviewer on youtube hands down and if i wasn't not old enough to get a job i would totally be a member of your patreon,i hope you do more videos like this you can really make this a series and if you do i think you should do a kinda old stealth game called aragami to me it's a gem of a game but it got swipe under the rug so i think you should check it out this isn't just for whitelight if your reading this check out the game you can find the game for around 20 dollars and its well worth the price to me keep up the good work whitelight
this game is going to be remembered as a slept on classic
holy FUCK i love you even more now, first prototype and now devastation? holy SHIT you're on my top 5 favorite youtubers now.
we need a proper transformers game like the 2007 movie based one and the revenge of the fallen xbox 360/pc game, but with it's own story and maybe even in the G1 designs instead of the movie ones, you have no idea of what i'd do just to see Sideswipe and Optimus Prime in today's graphics.
How can I forget a masterpiece
Their is a parry mechanic and it's pretty amazing to pull off
I thought I was the only one who knew about this game. It’s in my top 10 best games to this day.
My dying wish is that Platinum makes a DBZ game with this love.
Perfect timing, I thought yesterday "What happened to that G1 Transformers game?" and went looking for this. Unfortunately it seems like you can't get this for PC anymore due to licencing stupidity. Glad this turned up in my RUclips feed though, so thanks.
So does this mean I can expect a lovely War/Fall for/of Cybertron video
I need a sequel to this game, probably won't happen but if only.
TAKE MY MONEY
This was a great first effort. Art style was superb. Combat did get repetitive after awhile but I was SOOO confused by the loot system that let you scrap a weapon to upgrade another. The Nova Prime tease at the end really had me jonesing for a sequel. Would want a lot more combiners like Predaking, Momstructor, Abominus and the Seacons.
I got this game for free via PS Plus years ago and it surprised me to no end how great it was; and how big of a nostalgia trip it was. The only downside was how few characters were playable. When guys like Shockwave, Blitzwing, etc show up, I want to play them. But, still great stuff.
Awesome. Like good childhood memory. Thank you.
Man I had a blast with this game. One of those games I couldn't put down and I played it consistently until I beat. Usually I lose focus of a game and start playing a different one but this game had me hooked. Beautiful visuals, music, and fun fast paced combat.
Imagine if the underground segments were in a subway and one of the times you were forced to go down into the subway, Astrotrain appears and you have to fight him. It would be a great surprise boss that takes a clever twist on the tunnels because you expect it to be just another boring trek through a boring tunnel and boom, bossfight
Played it when it came out. LOVED it! Just ordered it again (from Amazon)--not sold digitally anymore due to hasbro license expiration with Platinum unfortunately.
I have this game, and one of my fav Transformers games in a long time. It’s Greta to see a video on in that does it true justice.
Whitelight any chance you can do a review of transformers war for Cybertron and transformers fall of Cybertron??
White light, i loved your prototype series, i was wondering id you were gonna review the suffering 1 and 2, they were great horror games
The lobby music has no reason being a massive banger but here we are
Love how they incorporate weapons from different iterations for each characters and the combat was so satisfying(no surprise coming from Platinum) Still hoping by some miracle we’d get a sequel one day.
I agree Fall of Cybertron is underrated. I just bought a PS3 like 2 years ago, I bought that game since I missed out on it when I was younger and I loved it so much. Even though the numbers aren't huge online, the online was so much fun! The transforming mechanic really made it feel like a nice spin on traditional shooters
If you press triangle/Y for a rush attack Optimus, Wheeljack, and Sideswipe do a cool dropkick, Bumblebee does this sick ass spinning move, and Grimlock does a belly flop
Looks great
Was confirmed a few months ago Ubisoft and a few companies that worked on COD and Halo online have in fact been working on a new Transformers game
No wonder, it was made by platinum games these guys are the combat gods. Can you make Spec Ops The Line next but only if you want to.
I'd say they share the title of combat god with the DMC team and team ninja.
@@Sophie_the_Sapphic oh right forgot about them, but let's not forget Santa Monica Studios God of War games, and Ready At Dawns psp god of war games they have amazing combat as well.
Will say I've grown addicted to your videos at this point. From Darksiders 2 you just grabbed my poor balls and gg.
Btw just a bump, no idea if you heard of Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning but it would be the second coming of Jesus if you made a video of it.
This needs more attentioné!
Sadly you cannot buy this game digitally on any if the platforms it was out on. But physical copies still exist on ps3, xbone 360, etc... so yeah. Also the dlc the game had is also gone.
Hey Whitelight!
Do you plan to make a video on DarkSiders 3?
Correction: this video DOES have a parry attack, pushing the left stick into an incoming attack on impact. Besides that this video is spot on brother i think this game doesn’t have the respect it deserves its criminal how many people aren’t aware of great this game is! One of my favorite platinum titles and overall favorite transformers game to date 👊🏾
Once I saw the title of the video
I just thought: My THOUGHTS EXACTLY
I loved this game and its soundtrack
I'm not gonna lie, I love Platinum games and I would ADORE to see them make a game of Swat Kats
Or a mask game. Imagine how crazy that would be.
I keep going back and forth on whether to get this game or not. Think the biggest thing holding me back is that the Decepticons aren't playable, and I get why that's the case, but still.
The gameplay more than makes up for it, and the 5 characters are different enough already
I used to think Transformers The Game looked fantastic.
It's not great
I would recommend Saurian's Transformers Devastation video, he dissects every bit of the game's combat system.
it's a huge shame all the cybertron games and devastation were taken off steam....this kills me
Didn't they lose the license?
@@Lakefront_Khan i believe so. one of the big problems of digital games, if a license is expired, you lose an entire game on a storefront
The fight with devistator and motormaster was great an I love the final Megatron fight. Great game.
Just remembered this game and it reminded me how insane almost every transformer games were.
Yup Love this game , still play it here and there , missing 2 trophies to platinum
Will you do a video on war for cybertron or fall of cybertron.
Transformers has so much potential and I just wished that more gaming companies realized that
I like how you break down a game. Its pretty much on par with raycevick. I've been looking for more high quality people like him, who know what they are talking about. Such nice material to just sit back and relax. Or play, while playing a single player survival game like minecraft/7 days to die.
bold of you to assume I could forget this game and it's killer soundtrack
Could you do a full video on the Cybertron games?
I would love it if you covered all of your favourite Transformers games
Dude I play this game almost weekly, I play it too much. It’s amazing!
You perfectly described this game!
TILL ALL ARE ONE!
I got this game free from Playstation plus. And yup sounds wave was probably the boss I died on the most.
When was that?
I loved this game. Still rock out to the music from time to time. Sadly, since Activision pulled it, makes me doubt we'll ever see a sequel.
YES FINALLY SOME DEVASTATION LOVE
Ima go back download this and platinum it it was so fun
I seriously hope you do a Dragon's Dogma critique.
This was one of my favorite games when I where younger, my dad said that I would get it if I learned to ride a bike (even tho he already had it cuz ps plus) and after that I played it a bunch
I LOVE this game so much. As a G1 fan, this game was a dream come true. I also liked the two Cybertron games as well but not as much as this game.
I doubt I'll ever forget this game, hell, I actually might play it again soon.
13:31
Dude i played that on ps2 my whole childhood, Loved that game
