LEGO Dimensions: more info on what was planned for year 3

LEGO Dimensions won't make it through the winter, those who follow the game's news already know.

Eurogamer takes stock of the two years of commercialization of this concept-based game Toys-to-Life and its multiple extensions in an interesting article and take the opportunity to mention the few packs and projects that TT Games had initially planned for the third year.

We learn that among the expansion packs initially programmed, there was something to please fans of several franchises with in particular a Minecraft pack, a second Doctor Who pack with Missy and a new DC Comics pack with Flash were in particular in the boxes. . The third year was to end with the marketing of a special pack containing Lord Vortech, the big bad of the game. There was a time talk of Lord Vortech being marketed at the end of this second year, but the idea finally got hold of it. been abandoned.

Even more interesting, TT Games was working on a camera that would have made it possible to scan any construction with a maximum size of 5 bricks by 5 and reproduce it virtually in the game world. This camera was produced and tested. but its marketing has never been approved. Difficult to predict the interest of the thing without knowing more, in particular on the possible interactions with the content integrated into the game via the camera, but the idea seems attractive.

Eurogamer also goes there with his theory on the reasons for the abandonment of the concept before the date initially announced by Warner, mentioning in passing the low margins released on the cheapest expansion packs, the attempt to save the furniture by leaving the Story Packs more expensive and the consequent workload for the development team which had to constantly correct the numerous bugs, integrate the new licenses and their universes and adapt the content for all existing platforms.

To console yourself, you can always offer yourself some packs at broken prices at amazon before their final disappearance from the rays.
