High Moon Studio’s Game Director, Matt Tieger, recently spoke with GodisaGeek in an interview regarding his newest project, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, sequel to the successful game Transformers: War for Cybertron. In the interview, Tieger expressed great interest in not only continuing the series further, but he also expressed desire in utilizing all the new technology available for gaming, including the Kinect. As Tieger stated in the interview:
“With all the new ways of interacting, with Kinect for example, it is an interesting time for games. Throughout gaming history it was pretty much a one standard way of interacting, and it predominantly still is, but all that stuff is very interesting to me. The core point about a game, and specifically a Transformers game, is how you are interacting with it. If that innately makes sense and it’s very intuitive, it works. If there is some mechanic for working with Transformers, I know there is a real thirst to physically transform, and I can do that in a digital world in an interesting way, great. But what’s the right mechanic for that? It really takes a lot of brain power to figure out the right system if you are going to do some kind of intriguing, new way to interact with Transformers. It bears a lot of thought but there is some real interesting potential there.”
While this is merely speculation and an inspired idea, it could potentially lead to something further down the road involving one of Hasbro’s beloved franchises and full-motion gaming. The idea has been planted. All it takes is for the demand and market to be there and for someone to run with it.
