madeinbeats Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Just pre-ordered the standard edition from The Hut, with a 10% discount code (HPOGTEN), for 27.88 UK pounds. Not too bad. Here: http://www.thehut.com/elysium.search?search=lego+city+undercover I did the same only with Zavvi - the deal ended very quickly and looks like The Hut has done the same. Seems like an amazing deal.
RedShell Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 This game looks awesome, I'd definitely be picking it up on day 1... But it seems Nintendo's brilliant release scheduling is in full effect once more. A whole week after Monster Hunter, ey? Yeah... Nice one. I wonder what else you can cram into March? Oh well, this'll be a good game to save for any future software droughts, and I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a few of those over the Wii U's lifespan.
James McGeachie Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 New trailer is good. Game is looking smoother. This is the most robust looking upcoming game in terms of scale, content and creativity ant it's almost certainly going to be a legendary bomb.
bryanee Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Is wrong of me to want to make sweet, sweet love to this game?
Cube Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I did the same only with Zavvi - the deal ended very quickly and looks like The Hut has done the same. Zavvi and The Hut are the same place.
madeinbeats Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Zavvi and The Hut are the same place. Aye I know, they did the deal on different days though. On the new trailers they show the game contained in a cardboard box, guessing it contains the pre-order figure... hope we get this too and not just the figure in a plastic bag tapped to the case or something.
Cube Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 We got the figure with the LEGO Star Wars film Blu-Ray, so there's a good chance we'll get it with this game.
Wii Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Wii U - Lego City Undercover - New Epic Awesome Trailer
Serebii Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I'm looking forward to this, and Lego Marvel Super Heroes, far more than a 26 year old should
Wii Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 LEGO City Undercover - more details - famous landmarks, bridges and locales are very much inspired by places from San Francisco and New York - steal cars from other people in the city - one disguise gives you a grappling gun that you can fire in short bursts - perform wall-jumps, wall-running and vaulting - all this is done by pressing the same button in context-sensitive situations - follow white-and-blue blocks to hunt down new areas to access - if you break items and they can't be rebuilt, you'll most likely obtain Super Bricks - these contribute to building other things, such as pads capable of summoning vehicles - act 2 involves a mission to infiltrate a criminal organization by committing crimes - use your police audio scanner find bad guy activity - this is done by moving the GamePad around in real life, looking out for enemies and their conversations - listen in on random civilian conversations as well - eventually join up with a mobster named Chan - he has you distracting guards by finding the necessary items to start a nearby party - this involves stealing an expensive car and eventually escorting a VIP to a nearby event - this accounts for approximately one percent of the game - there is a quick travel system via Lego City's subways http://ie.ign.com/articles/2013/02/11/the-freedom-of-lego-city-undercover Wii U - LEGO City: Undercover Trailer
Kav Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 After watching and reading up more on this game, I've actually become quite hyped for it... it looks great!
gaggle64 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 This just looks better every time I see it. The humour is perfect.
-Dem0- Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Great stuff. Looking like a definite purchase for me now.
Wii Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Lego City Undercover Will Not Feature Multiplayer If you were hoping you’d be able to explore the open world of Lego City with a friend or two in Lego City Undercover, don’t hold your breath. TT Games has confirmed via the game’s official site that it will not feature multiplayer in either local or online forms. To put it another way, the game is listed as supporting a single player only, which would seem to rule out multiplayer support, making it the first Nintendo-published title on Wii U not to support multiple players. While not too surprising given the way the game revolves around the Wii U GamePad, it’s a first for the Lego console series, which has been well-known for its drop-in, drop-out cooperative multiplayer. http://gengame.net/2013/02/lego-city-undercover-will-not-feature-multiplayer/

This will be mine, and I'm really looking forward to some hot Chase McCain action.
S.C.G Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Good, I'd much rather have a more polished single-player adventure than something that's dragged down on a technical level by co-op introduced at the last minute as an afterthought. Instead it would be a good idea to see how this game does - probably really well - and then think about adding in co-op properly for the possible sequel, that would be the most sensible option. Either that or keep it as an all-absorbing single player series, quite honestly though I'm happy that we're getting just the one game and I consider the 3DS prequel to be a very nice bonus.

I personally don't think every game needs multi-player. I like the inclusion of multi-player when it fits, but surely there should still be a place in gaming for the epic and absorbing single player quest? I feel a lot of the time publishers almost have a check list for games and they go down the list ticking all the boxes - one of which is multi-player.
tapedeck Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Can't wait for this. It's coming across as a superb title. An exclusive, vast single player game is just what the Wii U needs. The Miiverse should be hilarious for this too. Is it a Wii U exclusive/timed exclusive?

The Miiverse should be hilarious for this too. Is it a Wii U exclusive/timed exclusive? Nintendo threw some funding into it, and it has heavy GamePad use
madeinbeats Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Yup, good. Nothing wrong with single player focus; it's almost a niche market these days. You don't want people bothering you when you get involved with a good book or film, which is why this online multiplayer/co-op rumour for the next Zelda has got me worried.
Fused King Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Damn, would've thought it'd be multiplayer looking at all the other LEGO games. Still this will undoubtedly be a solid singleplayer experience! Would love a WiiU bundle with this game.
liger05 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I hope it doesn't get left on the shelves with it launching the same day as Luigi's Mansion.
-Dem0- Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 People want exciting new games on their Wii U and this looks like it'll be a blast! Luigi's Mansion 2 won't affect the sales of this game, besides they're on different platforms.
