Activision 'Not Sure' Where Old Transformers Games Are, Alleges Hasbro
. One such question was regarding the Activision games and the Hasbro employees there made it clear that one party was mostly to blame.
“Sadly, apparently Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building. When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating. Hope is that now that the deal is moving forward with Microsoft and Xbox that they’ll go through all of the archives and every hard drive to find it all, because it’s an easy Game Pass add. We want those games back up for people to have a chance to play.
“We do [have some assets], but it’s very interesting. [Fall of Cybertron], we have everything. For [War for Cybertron], we had to rip it ourselves, because they could not find it – they kept sending concept art instead, which we didn’t want, we need the CAD. So we booted up an old computer and ripped them all out from there. Which was a learning experience and a long weekend, because we just wanted to get it right, so that’s why we did it like that.
Activision’s run with Transformers spanned for almost a decade. It mostly began around the time the Michael Bay films started blowing up, as Activision published the adaptation of the 2007 movie. Even though many were tepidly received, High Moon Studios’ War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron reviewed fairly well. PlatinumGames’ Transformers: Devastation, while far behind the team’s most acclaimed titles like Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, was also met with decent reception.
