Lego Dimensions Announced

[T-hug]

​

Warner Bros. today announced Lego Dimensions - a game that uses real Lego toys and a scanner peripheral, seemingly similar in functionality to the highly successful Skylanders and amiibo ranges of interactive toys.

Check out the following trailer of the reveal:​

Lego Dimensions is releasing September 29th for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Wii U.

Sounds like you have to build the skylander thingies first, then it's the same shit.

Warner Bros. really hates the Wii U the only games they release for it are pretty much Lego.

Looks neat, the question is how much the figures will cost and how much the vehicles and additional stuff will cost.

 

[Nathan Drake]

Just what we need: another stupid money sink for a game that is ultimately going to be mediocre. Wooooooo

Probably as much as Skylanders/Infinity and won't suffer shortages like the amiibos do.

My goodness, a Lego game that actually uses Legos? This is interesting in my book. I don't personally like Lego games specifically because they have nothing to do with the actual toys, this seems like a good blend of both so it piques my interest.

I like it but i guess i am not gonna buy it as the box says that the ages are 7-14 (i am 17)

W-wat?

Y'know... the fact that you're above the bracket doesn't mean that you can't buy the product...

 

[Adeka]

No. God no!

I collect Skylanders and Amiibos already. Can't even touch infinity. Now this?

Yes i know that but i think im a little old to play this type of games

Exactly! Real men play Dynasty Duck!

So glad my daughter is still too young to be obsessed with this stuff, the last thing I need is more plastic crap all over my floors. Hopefully by the time she's old enough to be into stuff like this either she'll be too smart to be suckered in by such a blatant money hole, or this trend will have made like the trends of my youth (Pokemon's inability to die gracefully notwithstanding) and buggered off.

Kinda like 12 year olds go on those +18 sites

Poor Tolkien, I hope the Tolkien Estate will do its best to avoid this crap to happen...

My son was a bit too young when Skylanders started but he knows the characters and what they are from seeing the branding everywhere, I was lucky really that it missed him. I always turn the TV over when Disney Infinity was advertised so he wouldn't ask for those but we do play the Lego games together. They are fun in coop and great to teach him certain things and easy trophies for me lol.
I am worried though that Avengers and Jurassic Park will be the last proper Lego games as TT were already on a slippery slope with DLC and now I can just see future games being really bare bones unless you buy a shit load of toys.

Wanna know what was the last proper Lego game? Lego Star Wars 2, the other games just have poor level design and don't innovate shit...

My 7 year old niece prefers to play call of duty and GTA5 then toys-to-life. I used to play black ops zombies all the time when we used to babysit her.

I disagree I think Lego Marvel is not only the best Lego game but the best Marvel game too!
We recently finished Lego Batman 3 and it was so disappointing after Marvel was so good.
I got him the Lego Movie Special Edition with the Emmet figure but haven't told him yet lol
