LEGO City: Undercover producer on the game’s side content
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
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.”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
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?

Capcom on Revelations HD’s improved visuals, reasoning for re-release
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
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.”
