Interview with Michael Bay: Transformers

There is a new interview between Michael Bay and Josh Horowitz from MTV. There are 4 separate videos that are online of Bay talking about the movie. And he is very excited about the movie. I liked the interview. And I like what Bay is doing to promote the movie. The trailers will deliberately not show a lot about the robots. They are saving it for the movie and that is perfect. I simply cannot wait to see the Transformers movie and I know it is going to blow me away with the visuals.

I also learned more about the Transformers Video game that is coming out this summer. And it will be for the Wii. Sweet. Here are some game facts from a post on The Allspark.

KEY FEATURES:

* Protect Or Destroy The Earth – As the TRANSFORMERS robot’s war comes to Earth, gamers make the choice to join the AUTOBOTS in protecting our planet or to join the DECEPTICONS in destroying it. With dual campaigns, the fate of the world is in players’ hands.

* MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE – Instantly change from a larger than life robot to a high-powered vehicle such as a sports car, fighter jet or helicopter. Seamless transformations leave enemies in the dust or enhance players’ combat strategy with a range of options in both vehicle and robot modes that take full advantage of the characters’ dual forms.

* The World Is Your Playground – Players crush, topple and wreck every object, including buildings and vehicles, in their path or use the objects as weapons. It is up to the gamer to decide how best to use their surrounding environment.

* Freedom of Choice – An unprecedented line-up lets gamers experience the massive scale, unique abilities and sheer strength of an army of characters from the TRANSFORMERS universe when they choose to play as OPTIMUS PRIME, MEGATRON, IRONHIDE, STARSCREAM, BUMBLEBEE and more.

* Variety of Combat – For head-to-head battles, fans engage in melee combat that reflects each TRANSFORMERS robot’s character, scale, weight and power along with melee weapons and special moves unique to each character. The game’s ranged combat offers a wide array of projective weapons designed to take out enemies from afar.

* PlayStation® Portable Features – The PSP version features 20 playable AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS, from both the live-action film and previous generations, that battle through an enhanced version of the film’s storyline. Players can customize their character by choosing more than 10 different weapon types in both single and adhoc multiplayer gameplay

Transformer’s Game

So, when we finally get the Nintendo Wii I’m going to have to wait till this summer for the game I really want. Sure I want to play the Zelda Game, it is awesome according to my friend Derek, but what I really want to play is the upcoming Transformers game from Activision. The game is going to be based on the upcoming movie JULY 4, 2007, I can’t wait for it either. The game will allow players to be either Autobots or Decepticons and play to protect or destroy the earth. It looks like you can play as any of the characters from the upcoming movie as well. So that will be fun. Also the game will be available not only for the Nintendo Wii but also the other consoles as well. And I also read that in addition to the movie bots you can play as previous iterations of the characters, it has not leaked as to what iterations those will be.
