Thanks Scottsman. ;D

This should be good.

At the very least I'm going to be buying a deadpool Lego figure.

jothki

My question is, is this going to be the Pocahontas to Undercover's Lion King?

Magic Pink

Pretty much a guaranteed buy.

huh... I don't know if it's the writing that's crappier or the voice work but something about that game trailer definitely lacks the charm of the last Lego games.

urahonky

Is there a list of release consoles for this game?

Magic Pink

If it's anything like the others, all of them.

mxmarks

Yeah its all of them.

And I do mean all.

That's right, Vita and Wii U, you guys get to come too!

Mego Thor

It's a shame that there's no Wii version. I understand why there's not, but that's the system I've always bought the Lego games on.

Totally the voice work. Tony Stark sounds like a nasal 17-year-old.

urahonky

I liked it when they didn't talk.

skeldare

Stan Lee could totally be a character cameo

Mego Thor

Holy cow! How'd you do that?

skeldare

Wish I could take credit for it. Here's where I found the picture.

yeah, lego LotR didn't have the same feel as all the others (I have not yet played Lego Batman 2).

Brainiac 8

Chase McCain wouldn't be the same without his debonair voice.

Sure but those voices are for non-licensed games.

Batman 2 is the one that DID work, it's really well done and pretty funny. LotR should have ditched the voices.

urahonky

It sounds like they copied all of the voices from the movies for Lego LotR. Not that I mind... It was just jarring.

Brainiac 8

Yea, Lego Batman 2 had some pretty fantastic voice acting, and it made some of the conversations very fun and charming.

They did except for incidental grunts etc and NPC quest givers. It ended up being really boring.

GaryO

I'll happily play this and pretend its Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.

Good god, look at that character select screen at 02:13.

That roster is intimidating, even accounting for all the inevitable duplicate powers.

The following info and comments come from an IGN interview with game director Arthur Parsons.

“The whole game revolves around personality. It’s basically our excuse to bring as many Marvel super heroes and super villains onto the screen and to a videogame as we possibly can. In effect, it’s equal to a kid having all these LEGO figures in a toy set and just playing.”

- main story—co-written by Marvel scribe Mark Hoffmeier
- take's place in Marvel’s Manhattan (meaning it includes Liberty Island, Stark Tower and more)
- 20-plus primary characters
- 150 character roster
- most of the cast is unlocked during both the campaign and free play mode

On unlocking Stan Lee

“We have 50 Stan Lee’s in various perilous situations. In one of them he drinks this toxic soda and transforms into Stan Hulk, and you end up having to beat him up; when you beat him up, he transforms back to Stan and he’s like ‘Excelsior, thank you!’, and off he runs. Once you’ve rescued all 50, you then get to unlock Stan as a playable character.”

On a Punisher quest

“Punisher has a really cool mission. We basically turned him into an environmental crusader, rather than a mass killer. So all the bad guys are driving around high pollution vans and he wants you to take the environmentally-friendly battle van to take them down.”

- Mr. Fantastic can transform into a tea pot
- he can also access blocked areas by transforming into a pair of bolt cutters as well as a screwdriver
- Mr. Fantastic can also morph into an air traffic tower, a fire engine, and a wrecking ball
- The Hulk has super strength, but there are certain doors he cannot pass through until he turns back into human form
- Hulk and Abomination engage in a slap fight outside of Sand Central Station

On getting characters right

“Each of these characters is kind of like a distillation of that character. Wolverine, for example, is pretty much invulnerable to attacks and he regenerates. So, if he dies in our game, he just turns into another Adamantium skeleton, but with Wolverine’s hair and sideburns…you can run around and eventually he’ll regenerate back to a fully formed, healthy Logan. We’ve just tried to make sure every character is, above all, a visualization of what they should be.”

The Venom figure exists already, tentacles and all! I have him, he is pretty rad. Got him terrorizing my Modular city right now.

That Kingpin fig is intriguing. It's cool to see a BigFig with different dimensions.

I was already sold on this game, but Lego Venom and Green Goblin are awesome.

And Bullseye is the most adorable psychopath ever! *swoon*
