Game Informer has posted a new preview of LEGO Marvel’s Avengers, which has a bunch of details. We’ve rounded up the information below.

– Based on the first two films
– New York City is attacked by the nefarious chitauri warriors
– Age of Ultron content in as well
– E3 demo begins with the invasion
– Civilians are pinned beneath wreckage, and Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow have to rescue them by destroying wrecked cars and other debris
– Some of the debris is guarded by chitauri goons
– The characters are largely the same as in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
– Some subtle differences with the characters compared to the last game
– Cap can walk through flames and now extinguish them with a mighty leap and a flame-smothering shield smash
– Characters can team up for special combo attacks
– These are context-sensitive
– Stand on a marked area and wait for your teammate (or A.I. buddy) to walk over and press a button for combos
– Then they perform a maneuver, which changes depending on the duo
– Captain America uses his shield as a platform for Black Widow, and she bounces into the air and sprays bullets down at the apex of her jump
– Thor rings Cap’s shield like a bell, destroying objects and enemies nearby
– Another combo: Cap reflect Iron Man’s energy attack to destroy airborne chitauri
– Over 100 all-new characters in the game
– All-new New York City hub
– Hub will have activities to keep players busy

– All of the Portal hallmarks remain
– This ranges from the constant sarcastic sass spouted by the chatty GLaDOS to the depressed tones of the eternally bummed out robot turrets
– The ‘cake is a lie’ graffiti makes an appearance on the concrete wall behind the lab’s facade
– Emphasis on Chell’s portal gun seems to have been reduced when it comes to puzzle-solving
– Uses the physical ‘toy pad’ peripheral
– Ex: at certain points, the three light-up sections of the toy pad need to be colored by positioning a character on a colored pad onscreen to ‘paint’ them, and then physically moving their actual minifig to the correspondingly coloured panel on the toy pad itself
– You may also need to find hidden items in the world using the toy pad as a guide
– The gun flashes red when going the wrong direction
– Gradually shifts to green as you head towards the right spot
– Not all puzzle-solving is about the toy pad
– At one point, you need to use an environmental ‘keystone’ to scale Batman to about ten times his normal size
– This allows his extra height to activate an otherwise out of reach lever
– Use Gandalf’s gift for magic to propel a levitated Companion Cube through a series of tubes and onto one of Aperture Science’s signature big red buttons
