Transformers 4 gets a new logo and Mark Wahlberg

By Rick Marshall Published November 9, 2012

Michael Bay’s next Transformers movie has a new star and a fresh new logo.

Following up on a recent comment suggesting that the Boogie Nights and The Fighter actor Mark Wahlberg might join the fourth installment of his big-budget, live-action Transformers franchise, Bay officially announced a deal with the star on his website this week.

“Mark is awesome,” wrote Bay in an official statement about Wahlberg’s casting in the film. “An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy.”

Along with confirming that Wahlberg will take over as the new, human face of the franchise — replacing previous franchise star Shia LaBeouf — Bay also debuted the official logo for Transformers 4 seen above.

Other than this piece of casting, little is known about the potential plot for Transformers 4, though Bay previously expressed a desire to keep the next installment of the franchise a little more “grounded” than its predecessors. Bay is reportedly working with a significantly lower budget for the film, so there’s no telling how that will be reflected in the film.

Transformers 4 is currently scheduled for release June 27, 2014. Production is expected to begin in 2013.

Being called a Wanderer in Diablo 4 is extremely appropriate. You will be traveling all across the massive map to complete quests, enter dungeons, and just generally explore the region. Your character can run at a decent pace, but it won't be long until you've expanded the edges of your map so far that even the helpful fast-travel points won't be enough to get you where you want to be fast enough. For that, a mount comes in handy. You'll find a stable in the opening hours of the game, but it will take a lot longer than that before you can actually mount up yourself. Here's everything you need to do in order to get a mount in Diablo 4.

Granted, there's only one pet available at the moment, and it is purely a cosmetic item and won't help you in combat, but is an adorable companion nonetheless. Here's how to get a pet in Diablo 4.
