About this deal

Get behind the wheel and gear up for tons of open-world exploration and thrilling races! Take on the exciting Story mode, jump into a single race or Cup Series tourneys, and let loose in off-the-wall minigames. Master the art of drifting, boosting, and using power-ups to defeat opponents! RACE FOR THE SKY TROPHY Verbrugge, Kieron (May 15, 2023). "PHYSICAL COPIES OF LEGO 2K DRIVE'S AWESOME EDITION ARE RELEASING EARLY". Press Start Australia . Retrieved May 18, 2023. After you’ve submitted a vehicle, it will go through LEGO 2K Drive’s moderation process; you should get a notification if your vehicle has successfully passed through this process within a day or so and it’ll show up in the My Hub tab within the Creators Hub.

While TT Games developed most Lego games, Lego 2K Drive was developed by Visual Concepts, which is mostly known for creating basketball games. Members of the team had experience working on racing games such as Hydro Thunder and San Francisco Rush. The title is the first Lego racing game since the Lego Speed Champions DLC for Forza Horizon 4 in 2019. Lego 2K Drive marked the beginning of a multi-game deal between The Lego Group and 2K. Development of the game took about five years. According to the team, the game was intended to be a casual and approachable experience. Creative director Brian Silva added that 2K Drive was designed to be more than just a "racing game", as it encourages players to build their vehicles, explore the game's world and complete various side activities.

The LEGO® 2K Drive Awesome Rivals Edition includes:

I agree that paid cosmetics works better in other games. With LEGO, cosmetics is half the experience — most of the experience? — for many players, so it is dicier charging for those in DLC than with other games.

There’s an entire catalog of detailed tutorials which walk you through how to construct lovely-looking cars and boats in an instruction manual format. Much like with LittleBigPlanet Karting or Modnation Racers before it, These tools are an awesome addition, but not a feature that I found myself going out of my way for. Tweaking existing vehicles was something that I found more enjoyable, like giving my hard-won McLaren Solus GT a fresh splash of paint and some much-needed stat adjustments. The worlds aren’t huge, but they’re genuinely beautiful. Big Butte County is a desert landscape complete with looming sandstone buttes, farms (complete with Lego cows, pigs and horses) and quaint towns. Prospecto Valley is a mining region with cowboy towns surrounded by woodlands. My favourite though is Hauntsborough, a spooky theme park world filled with giant spiders, creepy castles and dark, ominous tunnels. It’s a shame we didn’t see more landscapes like this one, embracing the fantasy element of the Lego universe. While the Switch version of Lego 2K Drive is in development with another undisclosed studio, Valdez seemed confident that the game will run as intended. "There are definitely differences, but it's almost negligible from a gameplay standpoint," he told us, stating that the visuals are notably strong in handheld mode. Fingers crossed, then. Image: 2K Games / The LEGO Group From an incredible team of genre experts at Visual Concepts, LEGO 2K Drive combines the best elements of open world driving and fast-paced competitive racing, along with a diverse vehicle customization system. Made to be played solo or together, the game offers robust co-op and thrilling competitive multiplayer with crossplay, allowing players to group up together across platforms, on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.* Online, local co-op, and local wireless play with friends is also available on Nintendo Switch.

I think just make a smaller game that doesn't have core mechanics and balance that leverages micro-transactions at the detriment to player experience.

LEGO is expensive. I imagine LEGO licensing is very expensive, as well. So, I have some sympathy for their monetizing scheme... but, yeah, it's a horrible trap for kids and parents and does long term damage to the brand, I think. Additionally, this would be a very different type of open world. You don't really see a lot of open world racing games, usually it's action/adventures, platformers, and RPGs that go open world. You would interact with the world different on a kart, so it wouldn't quite feel and play the same as your average open world game. I've done this with Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Forces, Mega Man 11, Pac-Man World Re-Pac and Pac-Man Museum+.

" LEGO 2K Drive Is an Open World AAA Racing Game Coming This May". IGN . Retrieved March 29, 2023.Big picture you don't really "need" anything, and Nintendo has already done several games they didn't "need" to do (it made sequels to BotW and Splatoon 2, for example). They pay attention to whether or not it's beneficial, and there's definitely an argument to be made that it's beneficial financially and creatively. With as much as Mario Kart sells, having more frequent releases could definitely benefit them financially, having a new flavor of Mario Kart could benefit them creatively, and making said flavor a more open world variety seems primed to benefit them in both ways. Players are going to get bored". Then why is it still placing in Top 10 video game sales charts consistently? They don't need to fill in the gap actually, it's still dominating sales charts. Games that are no longer selling millions of copies need gaps. Okay to be fair, Mario Kart 8 DX has a gap, it's the Booster Course Pass! I'm certainly not bored of the game and am actually really excited to see what courses they are going to bring in the final two waves! You know what really benefits them financially? Taking the best selling Switch game, and adding additional content to it. Keeps people talking about the game, gets even more people to buy the game, gets already paid players to buy the DLC, and as a bonus, incentives NSO. If Nintendo is paying attention to whether or not it is beneficial, then maybe I think it spells clearly that Nintendo is well off with their Mario Kart game that drives laps around the over saturated open world concept and that they can comfortably continue to support this game until the next big Mario Kart game on the next system. You talk so highly about Mario Kart Tour and forget that like the console handheld relationship of Mario Kart before the Switch, it extends to Mario Kart 8 DX on Switch and Mario Kart Tour on phones. There's your two Mario Kart games that both are being actively supported. If you can't think of a VIDEO GAME off the top of your head that is a spin-off of a spin-off, let that be a sign that it maybe isn't the best idea. TV shows and video games are vastly different types of media content.

We’ve arrived at the first step in the multi-title partnership between 2K and the LEGO Group and we could not be more thrilled,” said Tina Walsh, Head of LEGO GAME Marketing. “With LEGO 2K Drive, Visual Concepts and 2K have taken the LEGO games experience fans know and love and evolved it in an exciting new way, delivering a game that both existing and new LEGO audiences will want to dive into.” a b Towell, Justin (May 15, 2023).
