Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: HRose on March 05, 2007, 10:26:30 PM Is this news? I knew it in December (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=842862&postcount=4).
I only wish I could remember where I read about it in the first place... Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: Trippy on March 05, 2007, 10:34:04 PM Why are these people still making games? You would think a $13 million write off for Auto Assault would prevent anybody from ever hiring these guys again but apparently not.
Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: Rasix on March 05, 2007, 11:13:10 PM I'm wondering how they're going to make Legos like WoW. That might be an accomplishment in itself.

At least they won't need to change the color palette :rimshot:Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: LC on March 06, 2007, 05:35:15 AM Why are these people still making games? You would think a $13 million write off for Auto Assault would prevent anybody from ever hiring these guys again but apparently not. I read an article not too long ago that said investors were eager to find something worthless to throw away their money on. Someone paid $250,000 for this pile of shit.

It's not going to come. So just imagine I said something witty.

You would think a $13 million write off for Auto Assault would prevent anybody from ever hiring these guys again but apparently not. They are about to release their 4th FREE expansion for AUto Assault, meaning they are still pouring money down that sinkhole. Fools and their money are soon parted.

Quote from: Emailed Newsletter: Greetings! You've just signed up to be part of the development of the very first LEGO Massively Multiplayer Online Game. LEGO is working with NetDevil, a well-known game creator, to build an incredibly fun and safe virtual LEGO world, where you will create the environment, and add to the gameplay. We'll be sending you regular updates on the game development progress. Don't worry though, we won't over do it. Soon we'll be inviting community members like you to help us make decisions about game development, as well as getting early access to the virtual building tools in order to be the first to populate this new virtual world. There a lot more coming, so stay tuned! --- Be sure to tell your friends about this project! Just point to them to the newsletter signup page at: http://www.lego.com/mmog/ (http://www.lego.com/mmog/) Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: Yegolev on June 06, 2007, 11:00:05 AM Is NetDevil in fact a well-known game creator? Moreso than John Romero?

They're responsible for Auto Assault. Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: schild on June 06, 2007, 11:17:41 AM A proper lego MMOG (a la second life) would be just about the best goddamn thing ever. But if I have to grind for my 2x1s, I'll put an eye out.

Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: Yegolev on June 06, 2007, 12:39:49 PM I'd play a Lego MOG with a heavy collect-em-all component. Maybe, depends on the time commitment. Trading bricks? Brick auction house? Sure. You wouldn't really need currency, the Lego equivalent to a SOJ would show up sooner rather than later.
Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: Venkman on June 06, 2007, 03:45:49 PM Kotaku Article from the other day (http://kotaku.com/gaming/going-down-to-legoland-town/lego-mmo-details-concept-art-265071.php)
Quote seems the gameplay elements, Lego-building and social networking will all be taking place on the same screen. The game's being developed in very, very close consultation with Lego fans, who test out every aspect of the game as NetDevil are implementing it. They're hoping to have the game rolled out by mid-2008. There's one more point of info, but the translation's a tad confusing, so i'll just post it raw: "Ultimately the LEGO Group want to offer the unique experience to play with the LEGO brick both virtually and physically together with your friends from all over the world, and you can even change from the physically to the virtual play as you like - "You are in control"." NetDevil is Auto Assault and Jumpgate before it. I've never been quite sure how they entered a relationship with LEGO, particularly to build something that sounds more multiverse-ish than game-directed. Interesting pairing. Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: schild on June 06, 2007, 03:57:53 PM More than that, Net Devil went from working on 1 project every few years to 3 at once.
Money trees. Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: Ironwood on June 07, 2007, 08:44:05 AM Lego Fans.

Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: schild on June 07, 2007, 09:58:01 AM It's going to be called Lego Universe. A really long press release just went out that announced nothing of interest other than (and I suppose including) the title.

Eurogamer had a sitdown with Netdevil (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/first-lego-universe-gameplay-details), and posted new screenshots (http://www.eurogamer.net/gallery.php?game_id=7808&article_id=814944#anchor). Highlights:
tl;dr: LEGO Star Wars without the IP and some co-op. Title: Re: Netdevil is making a Lego MMG Post by: schild on October 23, 2009, 03:16:59 PM Oldest necro yet? No, but you have shown us a uniquely annoying poster that I never noticed before. Shame he's not still here or I'd take real pleasure in guttin him, boy. |
