The first day of New York Comic Con 2017 has started and over on the Twitch livestream of stage show, Arthur Parsons from TT Games was on hand to talk about LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. The main new thing that was shown off today was the much talked about character customizer. If you’ve played LEGO games before, creating a character isn’t new as you’ve been given limited choices of what your character can look like and do. However in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, the whole system has been completely overhauled and there is a lot more you can do with it.
As shown off in the livestream, you can pretty much customize every part of the character including the head, torso, arms, legs, armor, and also the abilities the character can use. You’ll have access to more parts as you unlock characters but it looks like players will be thoroughly entertained as they play the game.
Speaking of playing the game in general, there were a few more characters that were revealed (to my knowlegdge) including Dormammu, Daredevil, Gwen Stacy, Kid Colt, Klaw, Korvac, Kraven the Hunter, Stingray, and Thor (Jane Foster). Finally at the beginning of the panel, attendees who play the game at the Marvel booth are able to get a cool poster, similar to the one that I got at SDCC but with a new design. Arthur teased that the characters featured (Thanos, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Wasp) could be included in the Season Pass which is included with the Deluxe Edition of the game.
If you can take parts of other characters’ costumes and re-color them… you can make D-Man, I guess?
Customize within a small amount of choices yes it is incredibly more advanced than before but there are as many incredibly choices they could’ve provided. Like access to wings and customize colors since almost none of the colors match unless they belong to a real character. Example if u want to make a alternate Cpt America(Old West) the whole whomping 2 choices of blue arms/hands neither which match up with chest piece. Although there’s clitches galore in this game I’m impressed overall with create-a-character I hope that there will be some more DLCs hopefully they can sort the legal issues so we can have the X-Families and Fantastic Four. Also reach character amounts like with Avengers 273 characters
