Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen DLC goes old school

by Xav de Matos { Aug 23rd 2009 at 6:30PM }

On August 27, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will receive a map and character combo DLC pack, which includes first generation models of some of your favorite Autobots and Decepticons. The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Character and Map Pack Plus DLC includes eight brand-new playable characters, three new character skins, three multiplayer maps and an "Expert" difficulty setting for the game's single-player campaign.

The DLC -- which also adds new achievements and trophies to the game -- will be available for 800

on the Xbox Live Marketplace and $9.99 on the PlayStation Store. If only the pack added Weird Al Yankovic's "Dare to be Stupid" to the game's soundtrack, it truly would be an old school content pack. A detailed list of the DLC can be found after the break.

Hi!

My comment was edited for extreme ignorance!

Now that's the kind of class I'd expect. Nuff said.

@mccoy-laddd

... After reading you recent comments, I'm inclined to ask a question.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

iPunch @ Aug 23rd 2009 7:22PM

Ahhh, there we go. Its been edited!

Jampirow @ Aug 23rd 2009 7:35PM

Aww, now I'm curious about what he posted, even if it was a pinnacle of idiocy.

Kdiggy @ Aug 23rd 2009 7:52PM

Joystiq FTW!

Dowse @ Aug 23rd 2009 8:02PM

Question is; why does he keep posting that he'd rather place an 81 year olds genitals in his mouth than play every game ever invented.
He probably enjoyed all the games he's criticizing, but 81 year old Herbert is too good to miss.

They shouldve included G1 skins for all the transformers from the very begining if they wanted the game to sell. Those movie designs are horrible, i know they cant exactly make em look like the cartoon but geesh, they couldve atleast try to make something that dont look like 50ft high walking scrapmetal

I agree. I like the movies (A bit) but as a transformers fan as a kid (84+) can't help but see the 'movie designs' as extremely generic and completely lacking character compared to 'true' G1 Designs. The above skins look 1000x better than the movie style.

I kinda hate 'Bay for what he did tbh... (I know I'm hardly alone, or orginal in that thought) though some TF movie is better than none I guess.

TF:RotF's MP is terrible.. why would anyone want dlc? but then the 'Activision' logo explains why it exists.. money grabbing fu....

Great Game but I got bored with it a few weeks ago and got rid of it again

Rishard Chapoteau @ Aug 24th 2009 9:03AM

I didn't buy the game because this is something that should have been in the game at launch. I'm sure not going to buy the game and spend an extra $10 on top of it to do so.

The best Transformers Game was the G1 game that never got released in America for the PS2.
