Atari has announced plans to bring the Transformers license to the Playstation 2 exclusively in the form of TRANSFORMERS ARMADA: PRELUDE TO ENERGON in 2004. The game will be an action/adventure game, where players get to become one of three AUTOBOTs. The massive robots can explore either on foot or convert to vehicle mode for high-speed maneuvering. Players will battle DECEPTICON forces with an arsenal of weapons including cluster rockets, homing missiles and vortex
cannons.
“We’re working diligently to develop a game that expands upon the
TRANSFORMERS ARMADA brand to provide a truly unique experience with intense
gameplay, vast environments and an emphasis on combat,” said Andrew Carter,
vice president of product development for Atari’s Melbourne House. “Every
massive environment and character model will be delivered with an
unprecedented level of visual realism by harnessing PlayStation 2 system’s
powerful graphics technology and techniques – resulting in incredible
rendering effects and absolute immersion for players.”
TRANSFORMERS characters are now armed with the ability to evolve, as players
collect different types of MINI-CON robots that power-up character’s
abilities. MINI-CON characters possess a unique ability to make ordinary
Transformers characters extremely powerful and are desired by both the
AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS. The ultimate goal is to free the MINI-CON race,
battle to defeat MEGATRON warrior and his evil army of DECEPTICLONES to save
the Earth from destruction.
