LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Home Straight ...

I can't wait for this game to be released, so that we can play it, but also move on ...

So, on the menu: An article in McDo magazine (Accessible in pdf format here or on the image below), and an article published by Metro.co.uk in which Arthur Parsons, the Game Manager of the game, reveals that the number of characters present has increased significantly lately: There will be much more than the 100 characters initially planned.

One of the explanations put forward to justify the inflation suffered by the game in terms of superheroes of all kinds is the desire to keep the game at the heart of the Marvel news: By integrating in advance characters from the next Marvel licensed movies like Thor (2) : The Dark World (In theaters October 30, 2013) or Captain America (2): The Winter Soldier (Released in theaters April 2, 2014), the developers are ensuring that the game will remain "relevant" for the next 12 months.

Parsons also responds to the many bugs that usually dot LEGO games, and confirms having had more time and budget on LEGO Marvel Super Heroes than on previous games developed by TT Games for LEGO, this time bonus allowing for a bit of tweaking. more than usual the game and solve many bugs still present at this stage of development (camera positioning, artificial intelligence bugs, etc.).
