ONM - LEGO City: Undercover - details

Got this pre-ordered. Lego games aren't normally my type of game, but this doesn't seem to be a normal Lego game since it's open-world. The game seems to look better and better every time I see/read about it.

If you want a Chase figure, pick up the LEGO set that also comes with a code to unlock some things in the game.

I see where it says it has a game code, but I don't see what it actually unlocks. Do you happen to know what you can unlock with these sets? Does it use NFC?
 
Really wish this wasn't coming out a day before Monster Hunter :(
 
Probably gonna buy this if the reviews are descent enough. I know the other lego entries are pretty good but this is a whole other style of game.

Apparently it will unlock the red car, and police jeep in the set, as well as a special getaway mission that can be played form Chase's or the villain's point of view.

no its just a code printed on a block
 
Every time new details emerge my hype builds. If this delivers on the execution of its promise, this game should be fantastic.
 
The game box art has the Nintendo Network logo. I wonder what that could mean and hopefully it's not just related to Miiverse and the codes that come with the Lego sets.
 
If I was concerned about anything with this game it was definitely how big the world would be. Great news on the size of the city. I will be picking this up day one. Can't wait to explore.
 
I'm expecting a lighthearted GTA clone, which is exactly what this looks like. I just hope it is even slightly more difficult than the "regular" LEGO games, which are easy to the point where it does not matter how bad you are, you will finish them (obviously that is their aim). So far LEGO City Undercover looks like it will be sightly more difficult, meaning there are actual objectives that you could possibly fail if you are bad enough (unlike the traditional LEGO games). The writing and humor look like they will deliver. I'm tentatively very excited for this game. I think it will scratch the itch that games like Crackdown and Infamous get on the 360 and PS3, especially with those developer comments about how much rooftop gameplay there is.

Is the guy playing drunk, or are the driving controls really that bad?

that was nearly a year ago at E3 so if the game had any driving control issues I would hope they fixed it... but in that interview the dev said this was all new to them so who knows until we get some new video hands on previews

Time to pre-order with the Chase figure!!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B5Q83NE/

Shame it's £43........

I managed to get it for £24 thanks to a 20% discount from an email from Zavvi and the fact that they temporarily put it on their site for the wrong price lol. I managed to pre-order it before they bunged the price up!

Didn't get the figure though, but that's no biggie.

This game, along with ZombiU and Rayman Legends, is among those that first interested me in the Wii U. Three system sellers for me.

you dont have any more 20% codes do you
 
I wouldn't judge the game based on last year's E3 demo. I had a friend play it and he said it wasn't that great, but that the game looks much improved since then. I don't think he's played a recent built of it, so that's based on the same info we've all seen since E3. If they had this out at launch as planned I think it would have been a buggy mess. The delay was obviously to clean everything up.

Sounds great. Still baffled that this and Luigi's Mansion 2 come out on the same day, you could have moved a game closer Nintendo!

The Wii U game is a week before, and the 3DS game is a month after.
But Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates To Infinity is still the same day as Luigi's Mansion.

not sure if Nintendo would be very happy with allowing the game to come out half-assed they would allow for a good 6 months delay if it had issues

if this came out in November I would have been worried, I'm hoping for great things for this game
if it does well maybe we can get a Vice City version next year :3

Both Luigi's Mansion 2 and Lego City Undercover come out on 28 March 2013 in the UK. It's weird.
 
I wouldn't compare the E3 build to the final game. The e3 build also had terrible tearing even in the trailer, but it wasn't in any of the new trailers.
 
I'm excited for this game. It'll be great to play a game that isn't like something else I've played since Lego Star Wars.

With that being said, if this doesn't come to the eShop it can fuck right off.

There's a message scrolling across the top of the eShop saying it will be released midnight whenever. It's coming.

Its Nintendo published so can't see why it wouldn't come to the eshop
 
Sounds like a lot of fun.
I'd really love to know if this game got a bit of Anti aliassing in the last stages. It was very jaggy in the beginning.
