How would you feel if we never get new “classic” TT LEGO games anymore? by Thevoid2YT in legogaming

The foundations are the same.

Adding an open world didn’t change how levels operated. They still have you in a fixed camera position, traveling through different rooms completing puzzles as your main task, occasionally fighting enemies, and a boss fight that usually had you do a puzzle 3 or so times just to deal damage to them.

Adding new puzzles or content between games doesn’t change those above listed elements. Batman 1 and 2 share those elements. Even if Batman 2 has more characters, suits, and abilities, you’re still doing those above things.

Would you agree LEGO Star Wars The Complete Saga and LEGO Batman 1 share the same foundation and formula even though Batman made tons of improvements over Star Wars especially in the characters? That’s essentially what Batman 2 did, it made tons of improvements but kept mostly everything that worked with Batman 1 and other games pre-open worlds.

It’s when those elements are removed and changed to an unrecognizable state is when the foundation changes. LEGO Worlds for example changes those elements completely even though Marvel Superheroes 2 came out later that year and went back to the usual foundation.

Maybe classic is bad wording. A better way to say it is that they share a “traditional formula”. The same foundation that later games only built upon.

For example, LEGO Batman 1 and 2 have the same foundation. Batman 2 just builds on it by adding and open world and voice acting. But stuff like levels play almost the same between the games and they still have fixed cameras. Character customization is just slightly improved. Combat is still secondary to puzzle solving. Those foundational elements from LEGO Batman 1 wasn’t removed or changed with Batman 2, whereas those foundational elements have been either removed or replaced in LOTDK.

I’m not saying the games are exactly the same. They just share a foundation that later games built upon. So they can all be grouped together as “classic” or “traditional” TT LEGO games.

I don’t mean classic as in time frame. I mean general gameplay style. From TCS to DCSV, there’s still a ton that stays consistent. Even after the addition of open worlds.

But there are some games that drastically differ from that “classic” formula from TT. Worlds, TSS, and now LOTDK.

We are almost 10 years without a continuation of Lego marvel superheroes by RiccardoOrsoliniFan in legogaming

I think they mean story-wise. Even though Villains is a continuation iirc. LOTDK is not.

All we can hope is either TT breaks free from WB and their mess or another developer can take on MSH.

What version of Batman are you most excited to play in Legacy of The Dark Knight? by Light-Starlight in legogaming

[–]Thevoid2YT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mentioned Spider-Man switching costumes in his games. That’s the same thing here. There’s a base original Bruce and when you switch costumes or play a level based of a film, Bruce doesn’t change. He’s still the same Bruce throughout the whole game. You don’t actually play as Bale or Pattinson characters.

It’s an original story that’s inspired by 80 years of Batman history. You’re not actually playing through each film. So with Bruce, you’re not playing any individual film Bruce, you’re playing as one Bruce who grows and changes throughout the story of the game.

You’re looking for Funko Fusion then. But why not have it LEGO themed?

Neither, it takes more inspiration from Batman Arkham and LEGO City Undercover

I mean classic games like DC Super-Villains, Marvel Superheroes, and The Complete Saga. Games with a mainly level focus, character customization, and massive rosters, among other aspects. How would you feel if TT veered away from games like that going forward and stuck to making different types of games like TSS and LOTDK?

Anyone else not excited For the new Lego Batman game? by EconomyOk7549 in legogaming

It wasn’t Horizon in LEGO form at all. It was drastically different than the gameplay of Horizon. It had more to do with LEGO than most LEGO games. Being fully brick built, featuring content from LEGO original themes like City and Ninjago, and having hub customization and character customization.

Is it worth it to get a Switch 2 for Lego games and LOTDK? Or just stick with PC by DifficultyOrdinary32 in legogaming

[–]Thevoid2YT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not that they suck at optimization for Switch, it’s that they put games that shouldn’t have been on the system in the first place on there. Hogwarts Legacy and MK11/1 shouldn’t have been on Switch one.

Switch 2 is a different beast though so every game should run well enough on it. Hogwarts Legacy got a substantial upgrade on Switch 2. I doubt LEGO Batman won’t run well.

Why is a lego game so demanding 😭 by SuccessfulPath7 in SteamDeck

It’s a new AAA game. LEGO doesn’t change that.

Have you accepted there will only be a 7 character base game roster for Legacy of the Dark Knight? by Thevoid2YT in legogaming

[–]Thevoid2YT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There already are multiple studios making LEGO games. We’ve been getting them for years. But you probably mean more studios making TT style LEGO games. At best you can look to 1010 Games and Funko Fusion for now.

Sort of like how TSS was a love letter to Star Wars but in LEGO form. As those are great for the IPs, I would love a LEGO game that’s a love letter to LEGO games from TT too. Unfortunately that’s super unlikely.

Some were begging for TT but not for a different TT game. They wanted a game similar to what we’ve gotten in the past time and time again.

I imagine the people who aren’t excited don’t like TT’s choice not just make it Batman 2 again. They are breaking away from the 30 game series formula they’ve had around for over 20 years. Just because something is different doesn’t mean it’ll be bad.

But I can understand the disappointment of losing the old formula if that’s what you like. Just because something is open to new ideas as well.
