this game still feels like an april fool's announcement

Looks like LEGO are perfectly fine with a platform holder having exclusive LEGO games

So are the people still saying SIE had no leverage/decision in platforms for LEGO Horizon, gonna keep saying that in light of this?

dude the only/best example is from 10+ years ago and a completely different generation (plus who knows what Nintendo was willing to spend to get those exclusive?)

not to mention coming off the Wii & NDS, Nintendo probably had a lot of sway, it’s entirely possible that because of getting burned on those games (due to the 3DS and Wii U not being nearly as successful as their predecessors) might have something to do with why Lego hasn’t done an exclusive since?

Only if you forgot what life was like as a 13 year old playing video games. Not every game needs to be Bloodborne in look and feel.

I'll give you the second part; maybe Wii U specifically (3DS was successful, just more like PSP levels success and not DS levels success) being a dud is what convinced LEGO to not do exclusives anymore. But then that's contradicted by the fact that, if Nintendo paid for exclusivity, it shouldn't matter to LEGO if those exclusives didn't do well? They already got their money right?

Oh and there's now this:

- Couch & 2 player online coop, but no cross-play

What is this decision? Why does this game not have cross-play? It's not even a competitive game. Local 2-player co-op is cool (and expected), but no cross-play is weird.

Seems like no cross-play even between PS5 and PC; none with Switch could at least be explained by Nintendo being Nintendo.

Square-Enix supposedly is dropping platform exclusivity for similar reasons despite having been paid by PlayStation so…

also while I agree no cross-play is a weird decision, as far as I can tell the ONLY Lego game to ever have cross-play is Lego Fortnite

Here's all the new deets from today's previews via Shinobi:

• ️Made in Unreal Engine 5, features ray-tracing
• Two modes on PS5: Fidelity (30FPS), Performance (60FPS)
• Roughly 7-8 hours long with 'elements of replayability'
• Up to 2-player online and couch co-op, but no crossplay
• Reshapes the story of 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn in ways that make it more appealing and appropriate for kids
• "Not a faithful retelling, and neither is it a parody"
• "We wanted to poke fun at the IP; we wanted to use all the self-referential humor that's characteristic of LEGO properties"
• Original cast from Horizon Zero Dawn returns, Aloy moves in a fun, quirky stop-motion style
• Aloy uses her bow for combat and exploration: Holding lets her use her bow at targets, while R1 activates her focus to highlight major targets in blue
• Unleash powerful attacks using the environment - shooting an arrow through a bonfire creates a flaming projectile, adding extra damage to enemies or setting grass, vines etc on fire to open new paths
• Shoot barrels and other objects to find Studs (LEGO currency). Chests are found exploring off the main path
• Aloy can discover special piles of bricks she can use to craft various designs like a sailboat, dog house, etc
• All Mother Tree (village hub) lets you upgrade your weapons or use Studs to buy upgrades
• You can also customize costumes or your hut, specifically its roof (you install one with a roller coaster for example), yard, plot, and hut color.
• You can outfit NPCs with attire from the Horizon games and other LEGO properties
• There are also temporary upgrades you can find in the world. One example lets Varl use 12 spear throws before breaking down
• Ability Upgrade: LEGO Brick Separator unleashes a powerful melee move that can take an enemy apart
• Dislodging highlighted parts of a machine can sometimes even reward a new weapon - a LongLeg's severed horns begin to spin that can be kicked towards enemies for a bonus attack
• Blast Boost Upgrade: Jumping over an enemy will set them on fire
• Hot Dog Cart Upgrade: Quickly assembled with a hot dog man who "lobs hot dog bombs across the combat field to great and delicious effect"
