I liked what I had seen a few months back, so yeah, I'll be picking this up.
Seeing as open world games worked fine on the ps2 and xbox, i really dont know what you're basing this negativity on..
I think there should be a difference between a Nintendo published exclusives and cheap third party ports from consoles with a whole different architecture in terms of performance
I think on the performance of Batman or Mass Effect

Nintendo's Wii U commercials are easily the worst in the company's history

If they have a v-sync option maybe. The Lego games are often screen tearing nightmares and the footage of this has seemed to continue the tradition

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
E3 footage had massive screen-tearing.
Every piece of footage I've seen since has had none.

I'm pretty interested in the game, but that commercial was hot garbage.
Didn't ya hear from all the tech teardowns? Wii-U is still weaker than 7 year old hardware.

Strictly speaking it is based on an existing property - it's basically Lego GTA, hence the original name, Lego City Stories. I guess Rockstar/Take Two hand problems with the name lol.
I preferred Lego City Stories to Lego City Undercover too
(It's being published by Nintendo.

It'd be nice if we ever got to, you know, build things in a Lego game. A Minecraft style Lego game (with build able vehicles) would be amazing.
Anyway I don't have a WiiU but Ill pick this up for 3DS if it's good.

I'm oddly intrigued by this game. It's likely due to all the good times I had with Lego Island so many years ago.

I remember ow awefully jaggy the screens looked. Did they ad AA on this game yet?
Is the Wii-U even capable of AA? Cause even mario seems to be without it.

I was just about to say the same thing about how much cleaner the screens look than before. I hope its not because someone cleaned it up in photoshop or something.
COD has AA und v-sync as far as I know, so the WiiU of course is capable of AA

Yeah, ofcourse i know. But it's also missing in a lot of games. I remember ideaman claiming it would be added in every game.

What can I say, one of the reasons why I am purchasing a Wii U. Looks great.
You're not the only one who feels this way.

Mario for sure has AA, I saw it in person and it looked SO SMOOTH!
And it;s in 720p so that makes it even more surprising.So it's coming next month? God i hope so.. This game looks like it is going to be incredibly fun!
I think it was meant that every first party game will have it.
But even if it's third party you also have to understand these are launch ports..

Really? Cause when i watch videos it looks sharp, really clean overall, but also.. Jaggy.Mario for sure has AA, I saw it in person and it looked SO SMOOTH!
Does not look jaggy at all.

Well I guess I made it out to be perfect, of course there are some jaggies, but it's clearly using AA. It does look smooth.

This is the closest thing to a third party killer app for Wii U yet. Not for "us", but for kids (boys) age 9-12 this must hit the bullseye. I'm personally a bit disappointed that LEGO LOTR isn't hitting Wii U, but L.C.U. seems fun and fresh, and I'm curious about both the the Wii U and 3DS version, even though I'm three times the target audience age.

Cause they look jaggy to me.

why not for us? I'm 24 and this looks much more fun to me than many of these typical AAA blockbuster titles (COD, Halo, AC) that should appeal to me.
Imo this game looks like fun to anyone, except maybe the typical dudebro COD only player

Its been a week and everyone is a pro programmer on Wii U with extensive knowledge and experience. Launch titles the end all measuring online stick!'
Im not big on the lego games but this looks interesting. I hope they add some demos to the Eshop. Would have to try it out first.

Quoting myself since I actually want to hear an answer:
I'm not trying to be snarky or anything; I'm genuinely curious.

Now I feel young. Thank you xD
Allright, allright^^. Lego games had a good run. Nice gameplay, the jokes, etc.
Be happy you dont have the european commercials. At least the american commercials try to create some interest in an 'edgy' way with the terrible dubstep esque music. The euro commercials are like infomercials. "You couldn't do this before" So bad.
I'm not all that interested but I'm guessing that open world, sandbox style is the hook?

It looks like an open world game that has a whimsical style and interesting gameplay ideas.

It was the game I bought the Wii U for. No, I am not joking. At least the only game that is revealed. Zelda and Smash Bros are obvious.
LEGO Batman 2 already does that, though.
Honestly, that's what's really throwing me off here since I remember back when it was LEGO City Stories that the big hook was the open world layout, but then I found out about LEGO Batman 2 doing the same (as well as introducing full VA, just like this game is doing), so I went back to being puzzled as to what this game was doing that was warranting so much hype. I mean, right now, it just seems like one of Nintendo's ways of making a third party feel extra special on the Wii U, in this case Warner Bros. Interactive.

Was excited to pick this up with the Wii U console launch. My Chase McCain minifigure anxiously awaits the release date!
Well, i don't think i ever said every games will have anti-aliasing, i can't obviously speak for every studios in the world lol. But for the projects of my sources, who had jaggies and lacked AA in their E3 2012 demos, it was indeed implemented late in the development cycle.

Really looking forward to this. I'm curious to see if there's any additional influence of it being Nintendo published and maybe produced.
As for the commercial, these US Wii U ads are bad, but frankly nothing is as bad as the Gamecube campaign. The spinning cube was even worse.
Generally, I don't think NoA has any idea how to market themselves to what is perceived as a traditional gaming audience. Wii's marketing was good because it was going after a fresh demographic, and brought a fresh perspective.
