LEGO Marvel Super Heroes |OT| Cosmic Brick Your Console

- Start date
It'll show up when it's officially released on Steam.
When someone gets the game tomorrow, can they confirm that red bricks are still in the game? Just so I can get a priority list of what to buy ahead of time to make unlocking all those hundred thousand plus stud characters easier.
No sign of it in the registry ATM, from a brief look. Would suck if it's a staggered release on PC, but that makes no sense.

They've done that before, IIRC. Where they release the PC physical version day-and-date with the console versions, but the DD version comes out on Steam a few weeks later.
I'm hoping that's not the case as I cancelled my PS4 pre-order so I can play this game right away on my PC.
For those interested, the first two screens for the 3DS version, Universe in Peril

Watched a stream earlier seen up until the end of the 4th level looked great, and the puns were spot on.

The overhead view seems to suggest they're planning a mobile version, easier to move characters with touch controls in that perspective.
This may sound crazy, but is there any way of buying the digital version of this for PC that doesn't involve Steam? I live in a school where Steam is blocked (as is PSN and the Xbox marketplace so I can't buy the console versions either) so was hoping there would be some other outlet for it, although I'm guessing there probably isn't. I love the Lego games but can't face waiting a month for its UK release so wanted to buy the US version, but I'm guessing that's going to be impossible

ive heard the opposite, that 1 is better than 2
It's been a while since I've played the two of them but I think 2 benefits slightly from the experience TT gained through developing subsequent titles, there's a bit more to it and a bit of an open world hub area, but in revisiting the same levels again then you get the slightly less iconic scenes from the films and so it's maybe not quite as satisfying for some people. I think 2 is better technically though.

could import from eg videogamesplus.ca? You'd have it probably next week.
Steam version bought! Thanks once again, GMG.
I was thinking about holding off for the PS4 version... but I'm not sure it's worth paying $30 (almost 40 with GMG discount) more a whole month later especially when the PC version will *still* probably look better (even if very slightly). Now that these LEGO games also use Steamworks, it makes the choice a lot easier. I am concerned about if the Steam version will support the character DLCs we've heard about though.
My only big loss here is I'll have to play with the 360 gamepad instead of the shiny new DS4. But even that may not be an issue since we know the DS4 will have some basic PC functionality

I posted a link earlier. You can use GMG UK and access the North American version of Marvel to purchase. I preordered it yesterday and got my key last night.

I love the LEGO games like crazy, so this is really good news. I've never got tired of the central mechanics of it all, and the addition of all that Marvel is going to make this my most enjoyed one of all, I can feel it in my Adamantium-coated bones.

Its not even listed on team so who the hell knows
Yeah, this is what I mean. I don't think the previous games were listed ahead of their release either, so I was just wondering if there was a specific time that the store gets updated generally, so I'd know when to look for it.

Sometimes 1PM ET, sometimes it's just all over the place

I work here. I can at least read GAF, unlike the students
If you have a Touch/iPhone, get the Steam App and use it to purchase the game via Steam.
Steam is blocked though, even if they buy it they can't activate the game.
Indeed. I could get around it by using my phone as a wireless hotspot and buying/downloading over that (and putting Steam into offline mode afterwards so I can play it). By which point, however, I'll have used up so much bandwidth on my phone's 3G connection I could probably have bought two copies - and as much as I want the game, I don't want it THAT much
It's not the end of the world - I can just wait for the Euro release next month, or probably even longer. But you know what it's like when you get the urge to buy a game, and you get it real bad...
That isometric view brings back memories of the horrible PSP/DS version of Lego Harry Potter years 1-4:

I'm disappointed that Hulk can't jump super high in free roam.
You saying that just reminded me of Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. What a fantastic game that was. Running around and smashing into stuff as the Hulk was so satisfying.

Also, something is off to me about the Lego Captain America. It might be the lack of the wing design on the side of the head. I don't know why it's missing, as even the movie version had it in some form. I also feel like it should be a lighter shade of blue. I'm only nitpicking 'cause Captain America is my favorite character.

Is this available on the Wii U eshop?

Not yet. Hopefully by this afternoon.
I made a review thread but surprisingly there aren't many reviews out yet.

I honestly have no idea what they will be able to do... Assuming all current gen is running at least 720p, and Wii U I am assuming is using newer shaders (at least it did in Lego City).
I can't imagine what they will do that's worth $10 of my money and a nearly 4 week wait. For me certainly not a 1080p bump and nothing more (which is what I'm guessing)

Awesome. Thanks. As long as its out before I get home from work.
At least you have a choice. It all comes out in 4 weeks for those of us in the EU. And I just want my PC version.

Ive never bought a Vita version of a LEGO game but I'm thinking about jumping in with this one. Are they usually well received and comparable to the console versions?
