The LEGO massively multiplayer online game in development by NetDevil is expected to ship in the fourth quarter of 2008 as LEGO Universe, LEGO Group announced today.
Often it is asked why Lego hasn’t done Minecraft. After all, the formula fits. You put blocks on to other blocks to create something blocky and wonderful, fresh from your imagination. Surely that just screams Lego.
It seems that they tried with Lego Universe, but how do you make a kid-friendly Lego MMO when almost everybody seems intent on building penises?
Developed by The Lego Group, the app takes the form of an interactive comic book, complete with mini-games and virtual Lego build kits to be unlocked. The Antimatter Missions is broken up into five parts, with five short comics making up the bulk of the title.
Funcom Lead Designer Oscar López Lacalle previews the new MMO LEGO Minifigures Online and discusses The LEGO Movie in this exclusive interview from GDC 2014.
I don't see this MMO Lego concept going very well. They aren't going to tap into that huge eastern MMO market with a Lego branded game, and I don't think many people here in the West care that much either.
The Lego Star Wars games are fun, easy, and cute, but they do not make me want to play for 12 hours straight. Just my opinion, but it seems like a waste.
get into an mmo because it would take up so much time. Sure ill play something like oblivion once in a while and maybe something like KOTOR(i hope the next one is still an rpg).
