""LEGO City Undercover" is on track to be the biggest game that TT Games has ever released as part of the LEGO franchise. "Undercover" will be the first game to break the pattern of licensed games which already extend to almost every corner of nerdom - from "Star Wars" to Batman to "Lord of the Rings." This time around, TT Games are creating two entirely new games, one for the Wii U and one for the 3DS, that are inspired by the LEGO City brand. The games will both center on police officer Chase McCain as he does whatever it takes to clean up the streets of LEGO City. To celebrate the upcoming launch of both games, we had a chance to sit down with TT Games' Executive Producer, Loz Doyle, who took us through some of the exciting changes that fans can expect when they step into the first open world LEGO game later this month.", writes MTV MUltiplayer.
The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.
Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.
Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.
That's the thing, this is why we're now seeing more serious competitors in the genre. Game Freak has just been coasting by, doing the bare minimum in innovation for the last 20+ years. They need to get with the times. Hire more devs, give more dev time to foster creativity, etc. But now that they can't get away with that bare minimum they're trying to sue their competitors out of existence. It's disgusting.
been saying this since sun and moon.
gamefreak just isnt used to, still isnt used to, the console market. they did well on the handheld space but as a complete 3d developer z they fail miserable
the last two pkmn gens look like gamecube games. not to mention the bugs at launch.
but uve seen the ridiculous anount of copies sold at launch too.
The article is actually Gamesradar's. MSN just used their page like a URL shortened link.
Where does the time go?
Xbox discusses the brand licensing strategies connecting iconic video game franchises with the world’s most diverse fan base.
We asked MS, why are you so amazing and how do you come up with the ideas for creating such titles as Call of Duty and Elder Scrolls?
really excited for this game = )
Can't wait. If this sells well PLEASE do a re-make of Lego Island. You would be doing every child of the 90's and every child of today a great service =]
It looks pretty good
