Lego Marvel Avengers Trailer Shows It WIll Have An Open World For Every Marvel Movie

Working at Traveller’s Tales must be exhausting, because boy do they crank out the Lego games at quite a rate. Next up on the factory line is Lego Marvel Avengers, based on a big old stack of Marvel movies, including Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Captain America: The First Avenger, and Thor: The Dark World. Wow, it seems as if Marvel make movies even quicker than TT makes games.
Whisper it, but the new Lego Marvel Avengers open-world trailer is actually looking pretty damn decent, with some deep cuts for Marvel fans. That is, aside from the brief segment that brought me horrifying flashbacks of unwrapping Superman 64 on my birthday. That put me off birthdays for life. Anyway, in Lego Marvel Avengers there’s going to be a series of huge open-worlds to explore, separate from the levels, including the whole of New York City crammed in, in brick form.

That’s not all either, because there’s also smaller open-world sections, which I’m preeeeetty sure means it’s not open world. But that’s a technicality. This includes the Viking gods’ home of Asgard, Barton Farm, Malibu, S.H.I.E.L.D. Base Exterior, Sokovia, South Africa and Washington D.C. It’s New York where the bulk of the action lies, and if it’s anywhere near as dense as Lego City Undercover’s world then we’re going to be in for a treat.

Coming South Park game is harder for black characters

Don't worry, this doesn’t affect combat. Just every other aspect of your whole life.” A GIF showing the difficulty/skin-color choices in  South Park: The Fractured But Whole Ubisoft 131 Writers from  John Scalzi  to author  Shannon Sullivan  have called being white living life in "easy mode" when compared to the treatment that people of color receive. The upcoming RPG  South Park: The Fractured But Whole  takes that concept and integrates it right into the gameplay, increasing the difficulty for created characters as their chosen skin tone becomes darker. Eurogamer  was among the first to notice and publicize the feature. At a recent preview event, the site  captured footage  showing difficulty levels ranging from "easy" for a light-skinned character to "very difficult" for the darkest skin option. "Don't worry, this doesn't affect combat," character Eric Cartman says as you operate the slider. "Just every other aspec...

CD Projekt will remain focused on The Witcher in 2016

We heard earlier this week that CD Projekt's next RPG epic, Cyberpunk 2077, will maybe— maybe , I said!—be out in 2016. As it turns out, a release date has actually been set, but CEO Adam Kiciński said in an interview with  Money.pl  (translated by  NeoGAF ) that the studio won't reveal it until it's ready to start the marketing campaign. And that's not likely to happen for a good while yet, because the focus in 2016
