The city in LEGO City Undercover is so big it would take ten minutes just to drive around the edge of it. That's the word from executive producer Loz Doyle who told ONM more about the forthcoming Wii U game for a special feature which appears in ONM 91.
LEGO City Undercover may feature an open world, but it’s not overly comparable to Grand Theft Auto. It turns out that this was intentional.
worst justification EVER! it's a LEGO game...you know, where your imagination is the limit, but they limited the game mechanic for as hard as they can. don't get me wrong, I like the game, Platinumed it on the PS4 BUT the game has so much potential but they also put so many restrictions into the game, I feel all the time I should be able to do something but the devs decided that I can't.
oh and yes...the draw distance SUCKS in this game even on PS4. I can understand if it's ground-up made for the new-gen but this is a Wii U port, the PS4 should have no problem running rounds around this game but the devs just didn't care. tons of collectibles but most of the time, hampered by the terrible draw distance and texture pop-ins. and not to forget constant crashing, glitches, collectibles not registering, and trophy glitch...very frustrating! I had to do a 2nd run just to Platinum this thing due to the story trophy glitch! My advice, if you are gonna play this game co-op, the drop-in drop-out nature of the game will make you lose you chance for story trophies if you're not there from start to finish. the way the story mission is not setup properly to chapters is also annoying as hell.
Where is the sequel for this game?! So many believe this is the best lego game yet there has been no follow up. Did LCU not sell well? Are the licensed games more profitable? What gives?
LEGO City Undercover was a pretty big deal when it first appeared on Wii U close to a decade ago. It was planned as one of the system’s first major games, and was even published by Nintendo.
Game is amazing. Are there any other Lego games like it? The other ones I played were nowhere nearly as good.
Two games are leaving Xbox Game Pass before the end of January: LEGO City Undercover and Just Cause 3. If you’re interested in playing them, now is your chance!
That is pretty impressive. Although I remember playing Test Drive Unlimited on the Xbox 360 and to drive around the outer perimeter of the island it took you like an hour, the game world was huge.
It would be interesting to compare this to say GTA IV. I wonder how long it takes to drive around the edges of that map.
Regardless, from the sounds of it, the game world is big, and that's a good thing. Lots of things to see and explore.
Compared to other Lego games, this sounds pretty big. I for one will be playing this for sure. It may not be GTA, but I don't have to kill a hooker to have fun. :)
To me, this game looks like a system seller. Hope it delivers :)
Day one here, can't wait..
