Vi fikk nylig mulighet til å sette oss ned og snakke med Nick Cooper, produsent på det kommende Transformers Universe, og fikk vite planene Jagex har for Hasbros populære roboter. Vi snakket også om hva de tenker om free-to-play, og hvordan de skal balansere spillets.
Cooper fortalte blant annet hvordan de har gått frem for å designe robotene, dette med tanke på at noen av dem har blitt designet spesielt for dette spillet:
"Actually being able to create these guys, they're not just automatons, they're not just something that you pick that hasn't got any personality. These guys have all got their own separate [voice-overs], backstories, and really have got some serious personality. And we've been working really hard with Hasbro on that. Working on these guys and actually adding to Transformers lore is a big, big deal for us. For everybody on the team it's very cool."
Selv de som kun er fans av Transformers uten å ha noen interesse for spilling vil også kunne ha det gøy i spillet. Cooper forklarer hva de har tenkt:
"For players that are new, and new to gaming, that just want Transformers, they'll get that. They'll come in and then obviously the skill separation system just means that you're not going to be fighting the people that have been playing it for a year. If you've just started playing you're coming in and you're hitting people that are at the same level of skill that you are. So if you're just bumbling around, shooting at walls and things, you're going to be playing people at the same level and the same type of enjoyment level that you want to be playing at. Hopefully that will give everybody what they're looking for."
