LEGO City: Undercover contains a ton of content. It has a huge overworld that takes ten minutes just to drive a loop around, a lengthy story, and plenty of side content.

Executive producer Loz Doyle detailed some of Undercover’s non-story elements in an interview with ONM.

Speaking about the game’s side-activities, Doyle said:

“There’s so much more outside of the story. As a robber you can steal cars and try to outrun the police, take part in vehicle and free-running time trials, be a limousine driver, catch renegade aliens, rescue cats, put out fires… the list goes on and on.”

Disney Infinity isn’t being entirely made by Avalanche Software. There’s at least one other studio assisting on the project as well.

On Facebook, Studio Gobo posted a message confirming its involvement with the project. Gobo has been assigned to handle the Pirates of the Caribbean playset.

The notice in full:

“If you see any boats or pirates — that’s the bit that we are working on at Gobo. We’re responsible for the Pirates of the Caribbean playset in Disney Infinity. Very proud.”

Could Gobo be working on other playsets along with Pirates? And might there be other studios developing Disney Infinity?

Some may think of Resident Evil: Revelations’ console release as a port, but there is a healthy amount of new content in the game. Users will be able to play as Hunk in Raid mode (which also has new weapons), take on a new enemy type, and experience a tougher difficulty level.

Capcom has also touched up the game’s visuals significantly. Resident Evil: Revelations Tsukasa Takenaka told Joystiq:

“The models have been almost completely redone, the lighting filters, those kind of effects that consoles can do, has been redone from scratch and it’s definitely something where we’ve made the game into something that’s a whole new version for consoles.”

In a video posted to the official Rayman Facebook page, Rayman Legends creative director Michel Ancel and senior game manager Michael Micholic showed appreciation for fans’ support resulting from Ubisoft’s decision to push the game back on Wii U. Micholic said that it “definitely hurt us to see you guys so upset about the delay.”

Ubisoft previously said that it would be making an exclusive Legends demo available to Wii U owners. This won’t actually be happening. Instead, Ancel and Micholic confirmed that the company will release Rayman Legends’ full online challenge mode exclusively on Nintendo’s console, via the eShop.

Here’s the rundown of the download:

– Online challenge mode will be accessible through the main hub
– New challenges daily and weekly, each with their own leaderboards
– Challenges in 5 different settings with unique gameplay styles
– Deadly pit, land of the dead, infernal tower, dojo, dungeon
– Dungeon challenge created exclusively for Wii U
– All challenges can be played alone or up to 5 players
– Invite friends, filter the competition
– Each result recorded on the leaderboard and as a ghost
– History system saves all performances, trophies earned

The Rayman Legends online challenge mode will be hitting the Wii U eShop in early April as a free download. Micholic said it will be “playable for countless hours”.
