Gameplay footage of War for Cybertron might surprise you

Apparently, everyone in the industry thought it would be hilarious to release a trailer for their game today. It ain’t easy getting your Friday on when you have to sit through that Bad Company 2 GameStop ad a good thirty times in one day. Someone … anyone, please make the dancing soldiers stop!

In what will hopefully be the last video for tonight, we get our first in-game glimpse of Transformers: War for Cybertron. As crazy as this might sound, we’re ending things on a high note with this one. If the trailer is any real indication, the game will be non-stop action wrapped around an immensely cool Transformers shell.

Of course, it is a trailer, after all. I’ll remain hopeful for the time being, considering the characters, setting — and even the mechanics, surprisingly enough — look more or less decent. Make us our dream game, High Moon Studios! Or, at least one that doesn’t completely suck.
