Oh no doubt, i was just curious if anyone knew if it was something they are addressing/had more recent footage of someone driving. Because I think this game has massive potential...and i would really hate for controls to be its downfall

Am I the only one more interested about this game than GTAV, after playing GTAIV?
Thanks to Nintendo we can have very different play experiences!!

You honestly need to put some more thought into it then.
i honestly think that you don't read the thread you are posting in

"Saving the Wii U" is hyperbole, but a quality Nintendo-published game like this will definitely improve the system's game library and make it more appealing in the long run.
Basically, I don't think a single game can "save" anything, but every strong development will help the Wii U situation turn around.
As for the game itself, I have never played a Lego game and I've never really been into GTA, but previews of Lego City Undercover make it look like boatloads of fun. The elements of satire and comedy make it really attractive as a "not taking itself seriously" experience, and the philosophy behind the open-world design (i.e. platforming on top of buildings) is very sound.

You can keep repeating that for 100000000000 times but it won't make that more likely
I wonder how many Nintendo eastereggs are in the game.

Or at all followed the game the thread is for.
Don't worry, after Nintendo ports it to the Durango/PS4/Vita it'll sell like 20 millions on each, or to just a fraction of a percent of their first year install bases. Just think of what it will do when Nintendo gets the iPad port out.
Does your wall have room for one more?
Seriously though, I do hope the grand account culling comes more quickly this time. I don't want to have to deal with months and months of this like I did for the Wii and 3DS.
Lego City has a chance to sell well and give Wii U a much needed boost in hardware sales. I just hope Nintendo does more to promote it. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will likely sell under 150k copies during its month of release, but it will fill in that hardcore niche spot. In terms of content, I agree that both games are gonna give gamers a great amount of time to spend time on while early adopters wait for new game releases in the mean time. Monster Hunter so awesome to have this early on for a new console release, and it has like 70% more content than MH Tri too.
ps4 exclusive dlc coming soon
Imagine that...
But there can't possibly be more people that think like you out in the world...
19 more.
In fact nobody hate it, they all want it on another console.
Speaking of Lego games, Warner Bros just announced that it is bringing Lego Batman 2 to Wii U for a Spring release. It's almost a year old game, but the port will include an interactive map and Off-TV play for those that are interested. Maybe they can fix some of the graphical issues like texture pop-in if they're gonna put in a good effort.

One of the few games I'm looking forward to on WiiU this year. I hope it lives up the hype.
Nope, never.

I'm pretty sure anything about the Wii U stirs up GAF at this point, whether negative or positive. Thing is, people always try to turn anything positive into a negative. Really silly.
As a Nintendo fan who owns a Wii U now but has owned an X360 since 2006, I think it's really getting out of hand. Instead of celebrating video games of all kinds across all systems, people like to turn everything into console wars bullshit. I understand that "warring" is entertaining but it gets out of hand when people are continuously shitting up threads about legitimately good Wii U-related news.
Best thing about this thread is the clown gif. Great representation of what this game is about and it worked as a response gif as well!

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Lego City should, at this point, be treated like Gears: Judgement and God of War: Ascension: exclusive to the announced platform and publisher. So quit yer port speculating and get back on track for discussion. EDIT: The meta "gaf hates the wii u" commentary needs to stop too. Talk about the topic, stop feeding conversation you don't agree with, and derailing the thread with meta commentary.
I'm pretty torn on Lego City. I think the idea looks cool and the execution looks pretty solid. I've also liked the Lego games I've played so far. But I'm not fond of the humour shown in the videos so far, the Lego games tend to be pretty basic in content and gameplay, and I generally loathe playing open world games on consoles (framerate/rendering issues so damn frequent).
It's on my maybe pile. I'll be playing it at a press event on Friday, so I can answer some questions and provide some feedback then!

Great, looking forward to your feedback then!!
That answers that, then :V
I wonder how much came from that publishing deal. I wonder if they approached Telltale 3 years ago to make an exclusive game for their new platform (would have been a very wise decision). I wonder if they fronted them a TON of cash to keep such a huge game exclusive and allow such extensive development time.
Or if TellTale made most of the game and Nintendo picked it up and it will eventually find its way to other platforms like Mass Effect :V At the very least I'm sure sequels will be multiplatform.

true system seller, nothing screams "buy me and a 350$ console" like a Lego game.

Ask about the framerate, curious if it's 30 or 60, aren't PS360 Lego games usually 60fps?
Also ask about Off-TV Play. Unlikely with the scanner...

nice bit of enthusiasm there
I highhhhly doubt 60fps. But a solid 30fps would be great. So far that has been my main worry.

no off-tv would be a bummer but if the scanning is fun (like zombiu) its liveable without
