Lego Marvel: Super Heroes

[Spider-Aziz]

I haven't bought a Lego game since Lego Star Wars the Complete whatever...However, if this is done right I'll buy this one.

I tried LEGO Star Wars and didn't like it, character moves there are sluggish

 

[darthcoolness3]

can't wait to finally play as Lego Spider-Man in a Lego Video Game

 

[James]

Heck, I can't wait to play as a lot of characters. Iron Man, Hulk. Tons of fun to be had.

- Builds on many of the themes and heroes from the Avengers
- Expands the roster with a new story

- A villain from the animated Marvel Super Hero Squad series plays a fairly big role in the game
- He’s portrayed as a bumbling fool in the show, but he’s more serious in LEGO Marvel
- Hulk was one of the first things added to the game
- Unprecedented amount of destruction
- LEGO Batman 2′s Superman provided inspiration for LEGO Marvel’s approach to flying

- Spider-Man can use his webbing to tie up bad guys and pull objects
- Spider-Man also has his spider sense
- “Spider-Man is quite possibly the most difficult of the characters we’ve worked on, but he’s becoming most satisfying from a design perspective.”

That is all awesome. The "-Unprecedented amount of destruction" is what really caught my attention out of everything. Hulk smash.

Thanos

(Granted all I saw of Thanos from that cartoon was this intro, but I assume he was bumbling)

I thought it was confirmed he was teaming up with Doom?

 

[Wolvieboy17]

They've said 'someone' helps Loki escape... I'm guessing Doom.

Btw, this game most definitely NEEDS online co-op. That is the biggest oversight so far with Lego games and TT Games really need to step up to the plate

 

[The Squirrel]

I'm already more excited for this then the Marvel MMO.

 

[Doc Ock]

I'm already more excited for this then the Marvel MMO.

Definitely! Either way I'm eager for some good fun Marvel gaming!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I'm already more excited for this then the Marvel MMO.

Easily the same

 

[Jick]

So we'll be able to web-swing with Spidey. Great.

I have a feeling it'll be better than it was in his last games. They're not focusing on Spidey as much as they would for a solo game and he'll swing better than the others. Write that down.

 

[MarvelWarrior]

Lego Tony Stark!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Developers trailer gave me the impression wall crawling to bee similar to wall bouncing by Robin using Acrobat Suit

 

[MarvelWarrior]

I'm so gonna run around as that lego Stark I posted lol. Wonder if we,ll get a lego Rogers, Banner and Parker?

Yup. Online co-op is a must. I'll get it regardless but it blows my mind that TT hasn't done this yet.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Well they did it with a couple but have since said, because it's a family game series, they want to focus on the people who enjoy playing games on the couch together.

Which is all well and good, but when you're adapting DC characters, Lord of the Rings and Marvel, you have to accept that there is going to be a HUGE fan base outside of families and kids who want to play those games.

Furthermore, I felt like the co-op was really wasted in Lego Batman 2 since you couldn't enjoy a free roam city with a split screen (and flying was really difficult). Also, even for the couch co-op, they need to fix the 2 player save system. If I play as Player 2 on a friends game and we collect 100 gold bricks, when I go into my game, I expect to have 100 gold bricks, not zero. If games like Fable 3, Borderlands etc can track both players progress, it's a huge step backwards that Lego still can't.

 

[MarvelWarrior]

If the Big G is in this the Surfer shouldn't be far behind.

I thought the flying system was really well done and easy to use, what didn't you like about it?

 

[Wolvieboy17]

No, I just meant it sucked in split screen. On that subject though, it wasn't perfect. It was fine to get from point B but when it came to camera issues and trying to land with precision on some of those rooftops, it was very fiddly. I still got 100% on those achievements but sometimes it was frustrating work.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Split screen camera is a pain in story missions
Not an issue in free roam

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Split screen camera is a pain in story missions
Not an issue in free roam, I think

Fixed

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Suit yourself mate

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I think I will.
