[EverydayBeast]

Good for Lego.

 

[Spyxos]

Looks like fun.

 

[BlackTron]

Video gave me vibes of Lego's very first game, Lego Island. Though a very different game, just the idea of a realistic open-world full of Lego models lol.

 

[sodstall]

Looks awesome! I better be able to make Rocket Racers Car!

 

[Doom85]

 

[AJUMP23]

Looks like it is building something interesting.

The Lego expansion in Forza was one of the best.

 

[FoxMcChief]

The true sequel to Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts!!!!

 

[splattered]

Kids are gonna dig this... might as well put it on the buy list

 

[nikos]

This looks incredible. Probably going to buy two copies to play with my girlfriend.

Several outlets already have previews on YouTube.

 

[drotahorror]

I dunno, looks pretty fuckin sick.

 

[Zannegan]

The true sequel to Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts!!!!

I wish it had Banjo's physics, but somehow I doubt it.

 

[RespawnX]

2k MTX shit will make real lego feel like a steal.

 

[Markio128]

Looks a bit blocky to me.

 

[intbal]

Looks better than the movies.

That was my first ever 3D game and it blew my tiny mind.

 

[CobraAB]

It’s on the Switch. Obviously cant be 4K Drive.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

I can't wait for the part where Lego Albert Brooks slashes Lego Bryan Cranston's wrist and all the red studs pour out

 

[Tommi84]

Lookin' good. I dig it!

 

[kicker]

Game looks cool. The lego studio knows how to make simple, fun games. Plus they probably need to do something with all the car licenses they have

I feel like the AAA label is unnecessary though. It does nothing but set exepectations for large graphical budgets, but then ... this is a lego game

 

[BlackTron]

That was my first ever 3D game and it blew my tiny mind.

I have fond memories of it, I see it came out in 1997 which means I definitely played Mario 64 first. The first system I played it on was my dad's desktop around 120mhz and the framerate was horrible, but I did almost everything in the game this way....later in 1999 we upgraded to 400mhz, and the game ran so fast it was hard to do anything. Like when they made the game, they just said "make it go as fast as it possibly can" resulting in bizarre uncapped game logic. I remember when I was a kid I was at first impressed how much faster the computer was, then was like "wait can't we put the brakes on it??" It came with a surprise AoEII CD so I discovered RTS, and that year the "real" Lego software came out, Mindstorms...good times.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Looks interesting, a lot of times the zany racers are more fun to me than the hyper realistic ones.

I also was playing AoE and AoEII too around that time!

For Lego Island I had an incedibly slowly framerate, to the point things used to run like a slide show. It made doing anything in the game incredibly difficullt.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I went from not knowing about this game to going all in for the most expensive version. It completely took me by surprise. I'm never into Lego games at all but this one looks amazing.

 

[winjer]

My nephew is going to love that.

 

[Kev Kev]

I'm getting Nuts N' Bolts vibes and I am all about it.

 

[Tams]

I'm ready for this. As great as Mario Kart is, I've had my fill for a while. And I've wanted a successor to Lego Racers for years.

But... I'll be busy with Tears of the Kingdom...

This is fortuitous timing on Lego's part. Releasing when there are going to be LOTS of new Switches out there, and people that might be looking for something else to play besides Zelda.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm in! Who's developing it?

 

[ShakenG]

I'm in! Who's developing it?

Visual concepts.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Something for the kids for sure

 

[UnNamed]

Almost too good to be this good on Switch. It looks like a Forza legolized, very interesting,

 

[Tunned]

This game came out of nowhere, and is looking spectacular!

 

[Nico_D]

The true sequel to Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts!!!!

Just came to say that. I doubt this is as challenging as Banjo was - before you had all the parts, then one multifunctional flying-diving-speeding super vehicle was enough. And it was fun to come up with that.

 

[kubricks]

Is it based on the Forza Horizon 4's Lego adventure DLC?

 

[SmokedMeat]

This looks great! Glad to see Lego games are finally moving beyond the cookie cutter licensed games.

 

[Eotheod]

Tt Games, where's my fucking Lego: City Undercover 2?

 

[Tams]

Is it based on the Forza Horizon 4's Lego adventure DLC?

More like the opposite.

 

[Umbasaborne]

I remember when nuts and bolts came out. I loved it, spread the gospel of it, and everyone online told me I was wrong because it wasn’t a platformer. Now 15 years later, everyone loved it. This is some revisionist history bs lol

 

[thatsafakewebsitebro]

This game is gonna run and look like trash on the Switch, huh?
It looks awesome though.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

This game came out of nowhere, and is looking spectacular!

Looks a lot like Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed. I only ever played the demo, but it was a cool racer with transforming cars like this.



Still, it's cool to see a new game like this, hope its fun!

 

[01011001]

Is it based on the Forza Horizon 4's Lego adventure DLC?

it surely seems like they looked at that DLC and then thought about making a whole game out of it

SASRT is a great arcade racer. You should pick it up on PC or via Xbox BC, still plays great today (res is low on Xbox but the FPS boost works wonderfully).

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Hopefully this game will not suck.

 

[nikos]

Picked up the Awesome Edition and played for a couple of hours. It's good fun.

 

[Fatmanp]

12gb wtf is this witchcraft

 

[Guilty_AI]

12gb wtf is this witchcraft

a handful of lego pieces repeated infinitely

 

[drotahorror]

I had high hopes for this. Apparently monetization is out of control. Definitely waiting on this one now.

I figured that was going to be a huge problem. I'll just wait a few years for a complete edition to avoid the grind, assuming there is one.
