legomilk Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 LEGO Universe Hi all, yesterday evening we announced the official name for the LEGO Online MMOG (= Massively Multiplayer Online Game) which is LEGO Universe. We had also some press coverage in Danish Television. So I want to give you some sketches, links and information and ask you to distribute these information if you like. You can find some sketches here: http://festum.de/1000steine/myimages/LEGO-Univers You can find the TV report (in Danish) here: http://www.dr.dk/odp/player.aspx?st=frontp...&sUrl=undefined then click "nyheder" in the top right, then click on "18.30" under "I g Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Marvelous! Can't wait for that game! *sweet* But.. Look closely at one of those scetches.. There's an Army minifig in the middle!! 8- Quote

Mr Hobbles Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 This should be interesting. Who's developing this game? The same guys that did LEGO Star Wars? I'm hoping this turns out to be "Sims" like. I like the idea of choosing a minifig as your character and being given apartment space, which you can then decorate with LEGO bricks. You could create your own furniture, TV, bed, etc. Even divide up your apartment space into seperate rooms with LEGO bricks. You could even be given a car base to build upon which would become your ride! Of course, this is just how I hope it turns out. :-) Quote
snefroe Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) what do you guys mean "past, present future"? i only see that space dude X-D btw, that logo isn't right, it should be the other way around :-| Edited May 31, 2007 by snefroe1 Quote
Asuka Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 i only see that space dude X-D btw, that logo isn't right, it should be the other way around :-| Well, maybe that Quote
zero1312 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Funny you don't mention all the figs in the "past" :-P Those are a variety of customs from MCN, notably Red Bean's elven helm and Nick Great's White Ninja! What an honor! Actually, I think that's a samurai hence the helmet and the armor. ;-) Quote
Starwars4J Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Whoops, yes, I meant Samurai *wacko* It's been a crazy day, okay? :-P His work is famous Quote

UniqueBuilder Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 What the....? What's Boromir doing in the "past" bracket? X-D And what's the Classic Space fig doing in the "future" one? :-P Quote
birdie100 Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I'm puzzled by this move. Why is Lego repeating the disaster of video games? Lego specifically moved out of that arena to focus on its own core branding. I hope and pray they're not developing this product - as if they are, in-house, we're likely to see a legoland-esque actual release date of 2009 I'm guessing. Quote

Scouty Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 This is pretty neat. The graphics are good also. Oh, jipay: frontpage: I think it's supposed to be MMORPG :-) . Quote

LEGO is not developing this game - it's being developed by a company called NetDevil, which has experience in MMORGs. The concept is one that can be really neat, as they are pursuing a game that has the same type of environment as WoW. I think that they will be heading toward Second Life also in style where your minifig can interact and build online and have this tied in with LEGO Factory. Joe Quote
john cleese Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 I dont care: 1. how much i have to P to P. 2. if they are selling software how much that costs. 3. how much ram it takes. 4. what quality of graphics card is needed to play. 5. however many of my freinds that think lego is a little kids toy make fun of me for playing this during school hours. 6. how much time ill end up wasting on this and how sleep deprived it will make me. I HAVE TO PLAY!!! 8- Quote
Jipay Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 This is pretty neat. The graphics are good also.Oh, jipay: frontpage: I think it's supposed to be MMORPG :-) . Nope cause it's not really a world of warcraft-like one. Actually I'm pretty excited about this. Depends on what we'll be able to do and how people have to interract with ecah other Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Shouldn't it be MMOG, not MMORG? *wacko* Btw Jipay I sent you a pm about that.. Quote
Blind-Bricks Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Where have the pics gone? the one with the samurai? I can't find it anywhere. And btw apparently the army minifig is one of my customs ;) Quote
oo7 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Where have the pics gone? the one with the samurai? I can't find it anywhere. And btw apparently the army minifig is one of my customs ;) The pics have gone. Here was the original URL for that picture; http://festum.de/1000steine/album/LEGO-Uni...final.sized.png I haven't read barely anything about this MMORPG ( *wacko* ) but I am puzzled towards why Lego is using these customs in official pictures?!? They didn't ask the artists like you, BB, did they? It was your army officer. .... In the past section they also put in Nick's White Samurai, Armothe/Redbean's hoplite, Rebean's Boromir, and a 4+ pirate fig! 8-| Quote
Blind-Bricks Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Indeed I got no information about my custom being used. Sucks I did not get to see it ;) Quote
Jipay Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Well was a bad photoshoping job, really, so you didn't miss anything :-D Quote
Blind-Bricks Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Really?Thats good. I was speaking to one of the other ambassadors and they said lego was probably only using them as inspiration. Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Looks really cool! I like the graphics.. I can't wait! -ZotS Quote
