Sounds great!

This may be the first MMO I pay for (if they even charge for it).

@Blah8: Jesus is the lego extrodinaire. Nobody knows lego's like that man.

@Raziel66: Accidentally hit enter. SanjiX, it's Lego. Would you not sell your soul to play with Lego's online? This could be awesome! (Can't watch the video at work so that statement is subject to change depending on the suckiness of said video).

Raziel66

@SanjiX: You are kidding right?

Raziel66

Hey, if this is free online and offline, I'm all over it.

sweet now i can make my One Piece pirate adventures!

ejpal

Me thinks it is time to add 10,000 more bricks to my collection. Help me pass the time until this game is released.

Talryyn

Jesus? What're you Gizmodo folk doing here? :-P

Anyway, it looks pretty neat. I'm a bit worried that it might end up being too much if it took some of these guys a three-and-a-half hour long class to just begin using all the features and other who've trained on it "for over a year". Still, with something this expansive, it looks to have some solid potential.

@cinderx: That's pretty much what he said right in the video. He even name-checks Indiana Jones. I suspect you'll see Batman and Harry Potter and other similar licenses, as well.

WizarDru

The video does seem a little cut off. Looks really cool but who will actually play it? :/

I wonder if they'll have themes from all the licensed sets Lego has put out over the years like Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones and um... Bob the Builder.

cinderx

sounds great.
sure it'll lose part o that tactile lego charm, but i'm still game.

sqoon

This looks pretty awesome. Never thought I'd say that about something Lego ever again.

@Lootskin

I know what you're getting at, and I agree 100%. I remember building with the old city legos. Oh man was that shit fun, but lego's taken a turn for the worse since then.

Just because I don't like the actual toy doesn't mean I can't like the game though, this looks awesome.

MaskedMuffin12

Even though I'm 27, I've been a LEGO fan as long as I can remember...

I cannot freaking wait for this..

AndrewDB

this is pure win, can't wait!
video seems to cut short.

@neuralien:

You mean you don't build your Lego constructs right-to-left and then walk around spouting random phrases at people?

dunetiger reads kotaku, seems pleased

Why do I recognize the video's background music?

tmanflys

This makes me want Lego blocks with RFID chips built into them and some sort of scanner that can scan to find out what type and color of brick it's looking at from the data embedded in the chip, and based off of the signal strengths, directions, and angles of each RFID chip, figure out what I built in reality and put it into the game. And by "I" I mean people who are actually good at making Lego models.

TurboFool

I'm just hoping the game will be fun. Seriously, I'm 25 and I still can spend hours upon hours building with Lego. My fiance' doesn't see the attraction, but I think they are a great way to pass the time. Here's hoping that this game will be a greater than any other MMO ever, because Lego f'ing rocks and I need a new time sink!

MantisDragon

@Lootskin: Wait, what?! How are Lego blocks like manga?

neuralien

Makes me think that "Lego LittleBigPlanet" would be a very good idea!

IronsUK

Potential.

Microsoft needs to be all over this game. 360/PC. Then it might have something to somewhat compete with LBP.

@TornadoTK: Video cut off for me too :(

Gooche

All lego themes? Lego Star Wars MMO ftw

cpmui99

@Lootskin:

LoL what???? That's ridiculous

mrspaceman

@TornadoTK: It seems that it was just made to end at 52 seconds I guess, wish it would keep going tho, seems interesting.

cainxavier

Too bad Lego isn't what it used to be. Now it's just another manga.

Lootskin

How does one get the title "Certified Lego Professional"?

n00nen0se

Either way, freaking sweet. I'm interested.

TornadoTK

Is it just me, or does the video cut off at 52 seconds?

TornadoTK

I'd like to see some gameplay.. I don't know whether to be excited or not. I can't stand MMO's.. but this might turn the tables if done right.

wicko

Speaking as someone you just built a mecha for The Emperor, I for one welcome our new Lego overlords.

ggodo

@Lootskin:

While it is true that the Exo-Force line is basically Lego's take on Anime with giant robots, your comment really makes no sense whatsoever.

Hell, I'm 17 and I buy Lego sets. They have got to be the best purchases I've ever made. I can do whatever I want with them if I don't like what's already built. Throw that into game form and I'd die a happy man.

Rauzaruke

@MantisDragon: Mine is the same way. However, she was all willing to help take them apart when i moved, but she wont help put them back together and or let me display them out in the living room. However I do get to have legos on the wedding cake.

DARSFOG

I am very tempted to give this a try even though I vowed to leave the MMO world for good, but this is Legos we're talking about!

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

hmm... what about their licenced lego stuff like star wars, batman etc. Sure would suck if they left the star wars part out, due to the fact that no even liked lego games nor did they sell good (except lego racers) until lego star wars the video game. Hope they dont forget that.

Greencacktus

@Lootskin: What are you talking about? Lego? Manga? What? I'll have of whatever you're smoking.

BobTheChainsaw

I don't know about the actual game, but the making of looks like fun. I love the artwork! The guy on the video intro kinda freaks me out though.

everybest

@Greencacktus: Hey man, Lego Island was AWESOME.

Renay

Surely they know this isn't the first game to allow people from different parts of the world to play with Legos together... There's Roblox and Blockland..

Fujoshi

I can't wait for this one. I don't play MMOs because most of them are a little too much "plus five ogre axe paladin orc" type BS, but THIS, I think I could get into. First thing I'm gonna to is build the black seas barracuda, then me and captain redbeard are gonna go trash some of those do-gooder town people! Oh yeah! Pirate system rocks!

gloveofpower

I wonder if you'll start out with just thumbs to take apart the bricks, resulting in broken nails and bleeding fingers, then you level up to the gray brick plucker...

combatmedic77

I liked Blockland, but thanks to lag and jerks who would destroy your buildings for fun, it wasn't as good as it could've been. I have high hopes for this title.

Seroth

I like this idea! As long as I can create my own YF-23 out of Lego like the one sitting on my desk, then I'm all for it! Hopefully they'll have all the parts that I need to build one.... >.> Also would be nice if I could make a makeshift Mechwarrior again also.

I also wonder if we can play the "Lego ramming" game like when I played with them as a kid. XD Made cars with battering rams on them and pushed them at full speed, then see which vehicle gets destroyed after several rams. ;P

Mikolai

If there isn't some old school King Arthur and Jhonny Thunder action I'm gonna be pissed. Those were the best sets they ever made aside from the awesome Star Wars ones.

BlackMage66652

It's very nice that the video cuts off like right where it gets interesting.

lenandude

@TornadoTK: Yes it sure does.

substance

@Seroth: That's fixed in the "retail" version of Blockland, with a really good trust system in place.
Probably the best $20 I've spent.
