LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Announcement TrailerLEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is the sequel to LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. The Caped Crusader joins forces with the super heroes of the DC Comics universe and blasts off to outer space to stop the evil Brainiac from destroying Earth. Using the power of the Lantern Rings, Brainiac shrinks worlds to add to his twisted collection of miniature cities from across the universe. Now the greatest super heroes and the most cunning villains must unite and journey to different Lantern Worlds to collect the Lantern Rings and stop Brainiac before it's too late.Release Date: November 14 (Europe), November 11 (North America)Platforms available on: PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360, PCDeveloper: TT GamesPublisher: Warner Bros InteractiveGenre: Action platformerThere's a phenomenal amount of stuff in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. So many studs, so many secret collectables, so many Adam Wests to rescue.If you're of the obsessive completionist mentality and Bats gets his (bat-)claws into you, this could eat up months.
But that would be months of collecting everything you could in a by-the-numbers LEGO game. After a point it wouldn't be fun. And that fact unfortunately stretches beyond just those looking to pick up All Of The Things - because LEGO Batman 3 just highlights how much of a refresh the LEGO series of games needs.If you played LEGO Marvel Super Heroes last year, you've pretty much played LEGO Batman 3. It's a similar setup, it also features over 150 characters and it feels very much the same - just with a DC Comics lineup.That means you're - once again - making your way through a bunch of levels, figuring out how to progress (it's hard to call them 'puzzles' per se), battling countless identikit minions or bosses who need simple tactics and, of course, smashing everything in every room.It would make Hulk proud, but it's not Marvel so we'll go with Killer Croc instead, seeing as he's basically a palette swap of Dr Banner but with a Cajun accent.In fact, while the mind wanders in that direction, the 150 characters thing isn't that impressive when you realise so many of the playable LEGO tykes share exactly the same abilities.
There are standout individuals, sure, and taking off as Superman - with his trademark music kicking in - is never not great, but after a dozen or so characters it just feels like window dressing.As for the action itself, there are a couple of elements that stick out as oddly unpolished; strange when the formula is almost exactly as it has been for years now.For one, controls are loose - you often end up shooting wildly or hitting nothing when you want to be activating a switch or the like.As for the character switching... well, when there's a party of four and this imprecise system has to be used in order to choose a particular hero / villain whose powers you need to use, it gets very annoying. So, here we are, rapidly approaching the 14th November launch of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, and I wanted to share something that is both exclusive and exciting for all of you PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 gamers out there. First off, a brief introduction, my name is Arthur Parsons. I am the Game Director of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.
I’ve been working at TT Games for the past 15 or so years, and I was delighted to make a return to LEGO Batman having been involved in the previous two titles. Both myself and the team involved are incredibly excited for you all to get your hands on what we consider to be our most ambitious LEGO game yet. LEGO Batman 3 is our third adventure into the DC Comics universe, and as such we decided to make it bigger and better than anything we have done before. For starters, our epic storyline sees us blast off into space, teaming up the Justice League with the Legion of Doom for an intergalactic extravaganza. We’ve added a raft of new suits for Batman, Robin and several other characters. We’ve added a completely new dynamic to the open world gameplay, and each area of the game has been lovingly crafted around the story and designed to bring in as many locations and characters as possible. We’ve included a plethora of playable characters, a number of cool abilities, endless amount of fun, and more importantly hours of gaming enjoyment for you all.
This really is the ultimate Super Hero game for all ages this year and one that you won’t want to miss out on. This year is Batman’s 75th Anniversary, and so we wanted to really push the boundaries with LEGO Batman 3. We added a bonus level that explores the 1960s Batman TV show, complete with voice work from the one and only Mr Adam West! There are LEGO Batmobiles from all eras of Batman, including the 1960’s Batmobile, as well as the Tumbler. We have included awesome content from throughout the 75 years of Batman both in the main game story and freeplay modes, and also within the Season Pass DLC for the game. LEGO Batman 3 really is an outpouring of the affection we at TT Games have for the DC Comics universe. In addition to all of that mouth-watering content, we really wanted to do something truly exciting for PlayStation gamers. So we are delighted to include an exclusive bonus DLC character pack for everyone that buys the game on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Europe that features some of the brilliant characters from the hugely popular “Batman of the Future” animated TV show.
This pack will give you an additional eight characters that you can take into the game to enjoy in freeplay as you explore the outer reaches of the lantern worlds. The “Batman of the Future” Character Pack allows the player to control a new Batman, Terry McGinnis, who comes fully-equipped with his technologically-advanced Bat suit, allowing him to fly, fire Batarang darts and even turn fully invisible. We are also including the retired Bruce Wayne himself, and his trusty Bat-Hound “Ace”, who can use his keen sense of smell to sniff out hidden LEGO and the ability to dig for hidden objects. Almost everyone who plays our games loves to play as the super-villains, so the rest of the pack focuses on our favourite super-villains from “Batman of the Future”. We’ve included the humungous henchman “Bonk,” a LEGO Big Figure, and a great fun character to smash around with; the radioactive Blight, who has the ability to light up darkened areas within the game as well as being immune to hazards and fire;
