LEGO City: Undercover would lose something on other platforms, says producer
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Traditionally, LEGO games land on practically every major platform. LEGO City: Undercover, however, is a Wii U exclusive.
That could have something to do with the nature of the title. Speaking with ONM executive producer Loz Doyle said that Undercover “would definitely lose something on other platforms.”
Doyle explained:
“LEGO City Undercover would definitely lose something on other platforms. Chase is actually given a LEGO version of the GamePad as his Police Communicator, so it’s really woven into the story. We started with a massive array of ideas [for the GamePad] but in the end we focused on it being a police device. The map is really useful to have on at all times rather than in a small corner of the screen, plus you receive video calls from different characters.”
