Introduction, setup, requirements

While 2010's Transformers: War for Cybertron proved the solid franchise game many fans had been wanting for ages, its PC version was lacking. Developer High Moon Studios was not a studio with a background in PC, it seems, and so Activision smartly outsourced work on new title Transformers: Fall of Cybertron to Mercenary Technology.

Finally recognizing the value PC gamers place in a great port, Activision has been talking up the PC specific features of the game, including enhanced graphics and various optimizations. Read on for a light technical analysis, wherein I examine how Mercenary's work holds up.
