metadigital Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Following on from a bit of research I completed, there is some breaking news for all you Transformer fans out there in MMO land, as I first posted in the correlated Way Off-Topic (<{POST_SNAPBACK}>). There is a MMORPG, scheduled for release in Autumn, called Auto Assault. "massively multiplayer online isn't a fantasy game: it's a technology, a technology for putting lots of people together in the same game. ... People see the 'MMO' tag and want to make judgements. ... It's one of those perfect game ideas: post-apocalyptic road war online. Mad Max with bigger guns, Carmageddon with clans. NetDevil [the devs] should be pleased that they got there first. It was only a matter of time before someone took up this particular guantlet. Auto Assault is, in NetDevil's own words, an action-RPG. ... "... As excursions to alternate worlds go this is one of the most vibrant we've seen. Trees catch on fire, footsoldiers attack with flamethrowers, motorised mutants and motorcycle cyborgs duke out their differences on wasteland highways, while in the background a colleague's giant truck transforms into a towering stompy robot. Oh yeah. You heard me right. Stompy Robots. ..." PC Gamer, issue 150,, July 2005, p44-5.

DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

Oerwinde Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 The official website doesn't make much mention of anything transforming. It looks pretty much like a combination Mad Max/Twisted Metal Black MMOG. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
