Hapori Tohu Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It has been speculated for some time, but only now has it been confirmed that a LEGO <i>Lord of the Rings</i> video game is being developed by Traveler's Tales and its parent company Warner Bros. Confirmation comes in the form of promos found in early-releases of the LotR LEGO sets, even though Warner has not made any official announcement. With the success of previous titles such as LEGO Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Harry Potter, LEGO LotR will certainly be an exciting addition to the LEGO video game franchise!

Legolover-361 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Lol, I read the first article on Lego Lord of the Rings sets as suggesting a video game was in production only to realize the wording didn't suggest what I thought it did. Apparently I was right. :PI do hope Lego Lord of the Rings will provide as enjoyable an experience as games such as Lego Star Wars III provided.

BULiK Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yay! Hopefully they will do something different than the standard Lego star wars thing, though if they did, I hope there is a mode for big battles like in Lego star wars 3. I can just see a pelanor fields level like that.

Jedi Knight Krazy Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I KNEW IT!! Yes... I have to buy this now! The LEGO games were MEANT for Lord of the RIngs. Think about it - massive battles, great story, iconic characters, and (most importantly) always a group of characters, so co-op makes perfect sense.I'll be buying this. And playing it. A lot.

Sumiki Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Was there ever any doubt that this would happen? Nearly every major licensed line that LEGO has produced since 2005 has has a video game tie-in or two. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mare Tranquillitatis Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yay, that must be pure awesomeness. However, I'm not sure I would be buying it, I'm just too fond of FPSs nowadays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) This doesn't surprise me at all.

Baron Von Nebula Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 YES! I was hoping for this since Lego Lord of the Rings was announced. I can easily think of some possibilities: the return of the massive battle system of Lego Star Wars 3, orc access points, and Ring invisibility like that in Harry Potter.

Cederak Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Another well-done story turned into a world of bricks and stripped of virtually all dialogue. I mean, can the achievements even still be halfway original by this point when the basic mechanics are essentially the same across every title? I suppose it doesn't matter though. Chances are, this one will sell about as well as all the rest.-Ced Quote Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are, this one will sell about as well as all the rest.-CedThe way you say it, it's as if stripping it of dialogue is a bad thing. Personally, I think removing the dialogue adds to the games rather than taking away from them, because they replace the most critical points of dialogue with purely visual (and sometimes very humorous) communication. An example is the "Luke, I Am Your Father" cutscene from LEGO Star Wars II.Some of the trailers for LEGO Batman 2 make it sound like it will have spoken dialogue, and I'm not entirely thrilled. True, there have been great and humorous LEGO games with spoken dialogue (the original LEGO Island comes to mind), but I've always liked media that casts minifigures as nonverbal.As for the play mechanics being the same across all titles, the play mechanics have actually changed from game to game. LEGO Star Wars II, for instance, made it so that not only characters with the force could build. LEGO Indiana Jones allowed you to switch between different tools and weapons. LEGO Batman introduced suits you could switch out that enabled different powers. Even if the changes are slight, the same could be said of a lot of video game series. The Halo games change in some ways from installment to installment, but the typical play experience is never radically altered.

Protodite Karzahni Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Somehow I thought this was obvious from the moment we knew there was going to be an LotR line of sets. Of course they'd take every opportunity to make some extra dosh. I'm not overly excited myself, I haven't played a Lego game since the very first LEGO Star Wars and Bionicle: Heroes. But I know they certainly look fun and I've always wanted the Harry Potter games. I've a friend who's more excited for the LotR games than I am, but that's mainly because he's a LotR fan and not a single bit of a LEGO fan. Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay.

Dwanny Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Though i am not an altogether large fan of the lego games, i absolutely, positively, famously, almost, love Lord Of The Rings.This might be worth it.
