Nobody else has any reaction to this not being available in Italy

Well, I'm not in Italy, but... that is strange.

Do we know for sure it won't be available in Italy? If so, why not?

Yeah, don't think there'll be a sandbox mode.

I hope there is one, because the ability to play and interact with custom Lego sandbox worlds is something we haven't seen since Lego Universe. If they had a sandbox, I'd hope they would have some sort of ineractive toys/bricks/blocks like Infinity's Creativi-Toys and Minecraft's Redstone.

It's kinda weird how Lego Dimensions isn't coming out till September 2015 and it has gotten more advertising than Lego Jurassic World, which is coming out in June 2015.

Why would that be weird? Jurassic World has a movie tie in plus sets and other merchandise. Where as Dimensions is a whole new system that relies solely on direct advertisement at this point.. I would also hazard a guess TLG would view dimensions as a great bit more important.

Where are you seeing ads for it? All I've seen is the early version of the site, with the basic info, but no ads anywhere. Are you talking about retailer listings, perhaps? Or journalistic coverage?

That, but there has also been so much hype about it within the LEGO and toys-to-life communities. I don't think they've released any new content (besides those screenshots posted here).

It looks like LEGO Movie 2 to me.

Hope not, because that's gonna ensure my absense in the theater (sorry if this sounds harsh). I expect a bigger change of the core team next time.

Yes, this pic looks abit floaty....

I'm from Italy.

I still don't exactly understand what Dimensions (or "game to life") exactly is, nor have I interest in understanding.

I don't own a console.

I would NEVER spend 100 Euros on it.

Well, wow.

I am still somewhat skeptical about Portal, as in Portal the video game franchise, since "Portal" in this context could still refer to something else - the very base game here includes a portal, after all, and portals of one sort or another turn up in various other LEGO themes and in franchises upon which various themes are based. But it certainly does lend additional support to the idea.

Legends of Chima, Jurassic World and Scooby-Doo are expected, of course, but it's nice to have some confirmation.

But what is up with those prices?

Posted

Wow, I couldn't believe we'd actually get Portal since it's such a random license (and I still have my doubts) but this pretty much seems to confirm it. Which is awesome! I wonder if the level will actually have the portal gameplay? And if so, will Valve be involved somehow?

I really hope the cake isn't a lie in this case.

My major pipe dream fantasy for the game is that they began working on it sometime from 2011 to 2012 (which would make sense, as that would be when Skylanders created the whole "toys to life" genre), and just prior to Lucasfilm's acquisition by Disney the game's makers obtained a license from Lucasfilm to incorporate their characters (as happened with the last-minute deal to put Star Wars characters in The LEGO Movie), so we could get Star Wars and Indiana Jones characters in the game despite Disney's ownership.

Not that I seriously expect that to be the case, of course; it's just nice to dream about.

Suppose that the whole things do relate to the marketing research between video game fanbase and Idea's votes, it makes sense and the "Portal" could be in that meaning. But of course, this is just getting more controversial.

It's not about LEGO, but I wonder, suppose that IJ and SW's absense do relate to Disney, does it relatively ensure a bigger chance for the two franchises to join Disny Infinity just like Marvel? If not, this means nothing for fans of both franchise. :tongue:

It's possible the CUUSOO project was rejected for some other reason entirely, but it could also be that this game was already in the works with the Portal license already attached, and the fan project unfortunately conflicted with license terms already in place.

From what I understand, it's widely anticipated Star Wars will be added to Disney Infinity later this year (with a 3.0 edition of the game), but I don't know if that's been confirmed anywhere. I do expect it to happen, though, and that neither that franchise nor its younger whip-cracking sibling will be in LEGO Dimensions for that reason. Speaking as someone who adores Star Wars, Indiana Jones and LEGO, I'd obviously like to think that wasn't the case, but oh, well. LEGO Dimensions still will have not only plenty of cool franchises, but also hands-down the best toys out of all these games, simply because they're LEGO.

And hey, look at all the themes and series we do (probably) have:

NinjaGo

Legends of Chima

The LEGO Movie

Back to the Future

DC Comics

Doctor Who

Ghostbusters

Jurassic Park

Middle-Earth

Portal

Scooby-Doo

The Simpsons

The Wizard of Oz

Not too shabby, if you ask me. I will admit none of these mean quite as much to me personally as the two Lucasfilm properties that have been LEGO themes, but a few of them come close, and I can always enjoy LEGO anything.

We can might to see the Lone Ranger and Tonto (from the 1949 TV series, not the 2013 Disney film) or the Conductor from The Polar Express.

If the Yeti from Series 11 will be in this game, maybe this is possible to feature Minifigures series.

It could be abit too coicnident for Ideas/Cuusoo to hit all the potential LEGO licenses. Beside, Dimension packs haven't ensured other regular sets so far, so it's probably the least possible, or the worst reason for rejection.

As for SW, it was the very first LEGO license and it's hirstoricall meaningful, so I'm sure some of us would regard SW as a must-have being in LEGO licensed roster especially when so many licenses involve in this game.

About the current roster, as said, despite how appealing the newly-attractive licenses are, I don't feel quite happy about the low proportion of LEGO's original characters. It's kinda against how much LEGO tried to advertise their own media works to compete with other toy brands so far.

The exclusive licenses would be tricky for traditional LEGO fans. Of course, a pack would ensure at least one figure and some physical bricks, but in the reverse aspect, their existence is still not stronger than those regular themes. It obviously relies on the fanbase of the licenses more than older FOLs.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were both characters in Disney's Infinity so that probably rules them out
