Gameplay

In an extensive interview with London's The Metro, Matt Tieger spoke at length about the gameplay improvements Fall of Cybertron would feature. Tieger acknowledged War of Cybertron's story was undermined by designing the game levels first, and then finding ways to build the story around it. The story in Fall of Cybertron will also be given depth by Teletraan 1 terminals throughout the game, designed to give the player more information on the backstory of characters, events, etc. This time, the story's first act focuses on the Autobots, the second on the Decepticons and then returns to the Autobots, as opposed to having essentially two games about each faction that did not offer a different experience. Tieger promised the locations would offer the player more freedom, a sense of breathing space between gunfire gameplay segments, and the choice of whether to pass obstacles in robot or alternate mode (rather than forcing them to race to the next part of the map). Unique weaponry befitting each character's original tech specs were also promised, as well as more unique locations, with artists rendering different types of "rusted, pitted, steel, nickel, chrome" metal environments.
