Activision has dished out the Spider-Man and Transformer franchises to two developers it acquired (and kept) from the merger with Vivendi.
According to a report by Variety's usually reliable Cut-Scene blog, the next Transformers game will now be handled by Bourne Identity developer High Moon, while Spider-Man goes to Prototype developer Radical.
The latter's inheritance of Spidey is a no-brainer considering its history of developing open-world games (and they can basically get away with re-skinning Prototype). But Bourne is a bit more of an interesting choice.

According to Cut-Scene the High Moon game is a non-movie tie-in to be released next year. We quite liked Bourne (I did, anyway) and it had some interesting ideas, so we'll be keen to see if High Moon can put out a better Transformers game than the rubbish one we got last time round.
We've left a message with Activision. We'll let you know what it has to say.
To hell with Transformers, I'm more interested in the direction of a new Spider-man, this gen has the worst Spiderman games I've ever played, that Prototype game does look good, I hope they make something good out of a new Spidey game, I hope we don't have to wait for the next movie to see it either.
There will never be a good Transformers game, never.
See thats were you are wrong. The exclusive Transformers game on the PS2 is bloody awesome and has some of the best boss battles ever. Shame its based on the Armada series.
