LEGO The Incredibles All But Confirmed for PS4 Thanks to Toy Packaging

And they look bloody awful xD

I think I'm done with Lego games. For the near future at least (or unless I happen upon a scandalously cheap Dimensions set).

For me, they lost me after Lego Batman 3. It had everything I wanted from a lego superhero game, so I can't see me being interested beyond that.

Another to skip whilst I wait for a property that interests me; here's hoping this is their summer release so that LEGO DC Villains can be released in time for Christmas, because that's one I'll definitely sign up for.

I find LEGO games good to play when you only get one every couple of years. A while back, I played various installments of LEGO Batman, Indiana Jones, Jurassic World and Star Wars in quick succession; big mistake, as the repetitive gameplay isn't so bad over one game, but over two or three and you quickly find yourself being whipped up into a coma (no matter how charming and funny the atmosphere). It's also a bad idea getting both the console and handheld versions at launch; yes, they're different, made by different teams and with different layout and content, but it still means another twenty-plus hours running over to differently-textured bits of environment, hammering the punch button and then running around in the resulting tiny little stud shower circle.

I haven't played a LEGO game since LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2016, so I'm about ready to give another one a go, and DC Villains sounds like a brilliant idea.

Would rather have some other Lego games instead...how about Lego Spongebob, Lego Simpsons, Lego Family Guy, Lego Scooby Doo...or even remasters of some of the older classic ones (Lego Pirates, Lego Star Wars 1-2, Lego Lord Of The Rings). Other than that, we've been having too many Lego games coming out recently, and I just purchased Dimensions at Toys R Us when it was closing ($8 for the starter kit and only $2 for some of the kits...pretty good price for me). Other than that, the only real ones I got into greatly were Lego Indiana Jones 2, Lego Jurassic World and Lego The Movie. It would also be nice to have exclusives for each console. For PS4, A Lego Ratchet And Clank, Lego Jak And Daxter or even a Lego Crash Bandicoot would be nice...for Switch, Lego Mario Bros, Lego Legend Of Zelda or even Lego Kirby. It would definitely be a way to sell not only the games, but move even more consoles too.

Enough LEGO games. The formula wore thin with LEGO Batman. The first 3 LEGO Games were great, don’t get me wrong, but this puts stuff like COD and Warriors games to shame in terms of new games in a series.
I’d rather see a proper Incredibles game. The PS2 game for the first movie was actually a decent game.

@RogerRoger I'm pretty on the fence about the DC Villains idea. I guess they could use the overall story from Forever Evil or something. But other than a couple of conspicuous omissions from the Beyond Gotham roster - I'm really not sure what else they can do with the property.
I recently did a single run through of TFA on Vita, thinking I'd want to go for the plat - felt really dull.

@JLPick I hadn't considered that. Not massively interested in Dimensions other than to get the Doctor Who set.

@KALofKRYPTON Something tells me it'll be an original story for the DC Villains, which I'm perfectly fine with; the LEGO writers are witty enough to cobble together an entertaining, kid-friendly storyline packed with enough in-jokes for us older fans. There's also nothing for them to pinch dialogue from (most of LEGO Jurassic World featured audio clips from the films, rather than newly-recorded dialogue) so I think it'll have to be a new script.

The handheld versions do always feel very bare-bones when coming straight away from their bigger brothers. They feel closer to the early LEGO games, with no dialogue and simpler gameplay. The developers are just usually really crafty by putting in one character or one level that's unique, and then my OCD kicks in and I end up pre-ordering it. Curse my brain.

But I'm in agreement with you; I've platinumed both LEGO Batman 3 and LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens on PS4, yet only have about 40% on both their PS Vita counterparts.

@RogerRoger Beyond Gotham was a fairly fast and loose cobbling together of a couple of stories (broad strokes, admittedly).

A Forever Evil is a good villain-centric story and easy to build from for a Lego game. Also, the Crime Syndicate would probably peak my interest more than the rote villains who were prominent in Beyond Gotham.
I would have preferred if they had avoided a lot of the movie audio for TFA, it was hideously compressed.

@Derpie1 they all look ok except for that abomination Mr Incredible

@JLPick We need a good Simpsons game i loved the one on the SNES with Bart his dreams.

@RogerRoger Which is the best Lego game i never bought one? And I would like to hear your opinion which ones are good to play.

@Flaming_Kaiser It really depends on what you like; all LEGO games are crafted with care and attention to the source material, so if you're a fan of the franchise represented in the game, you'll get a kick out of the little touches and in-jokes more than those giving it a casual go.

Gameplay-wise, they all play identically, so there isn't one that's tougher or easier than the others; it's all pretty simple stuff.

For me personally, from all the franchises they've done LEGO versions of, I'm only a fan of Batman, Indiana Jones, Jurassic World and Star Wars. I don't own any of the others. In my personal opinion, therefore (and thanks for asking), the two best LEGO games I've played are LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (PS3; fully voice-acted with an original storyline) and LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (PS3; no voice acting and follows the storyline from the television show).

If you're looking for something on current-gen, then I'd recommend LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. It's a vast, fun game and it's all fully voice-acted with original dialogue. A lot of the others have audio clips ripped from the source material and it isn't the greatest of effect.

I have played a fair chunk of the first LEGO Marvel game, but a lot of the jokes went over my head; from a gameplay perspective, however, you can't go wrong because they're all roughly the same, and so I immediately knew what I was doing and it was enjoyable to play alongside a friend who was a Marvel fan. From what I could tell, that had all-new original dialogue, too.

After the previous comments, definitely go for a main console version of whatever you choose, if possible. Handheld versions are fun, but nowhere near as detailed.

Hope this has helped in some way! Sorry it wasn't a straightforward answer.

@KALofKRYPTON Dimensions is alright...it gets kind of old having to continue to get up from your chair constantly to move the figures around on the Portal, or put new ones together, and the story itself isn't that great...not saying it's a horrible game, but just lacking something that most of the other Lego games have.

@JLPick Thought as much.
I'd really only be in it for the packs...well, the Doctor Who one at least.

@Flaming_Kaiser for my two cents - Beyond Gotham was a great time - tons of fan service. Same goes for the Marvel games, but I'm not that in to them.
Lego Batman 2 as @RogerRoger says, Lego Batman two on console is good too. Large open city rather than the hub world style of Beyond Gotham.

The original Star Wars run was good too - but it's a good while since I played any of those.

But again, as @RogerRoger notes - it really depends on what flavour nerd you are. The care and attention they put in to each game is considerable. I'll always give them props for things like the Danny Elfman Batman score breaking to John Williams' Superman theme as soon as you take flight as Superman.

Make Lego 007 already ya bums

@Ichiban This. A thousand times, this.
