Do we know yet if the game is 720p?

it certainly looks that way.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

watching IGNs video podcast thing made the game look fantastic imo. and the load times weren't half as bad as I had been led to believe.

which one IGN is a hard place to find anything

[Coolwhip]

I finally pre ordered it. For €48 including shipping, not too bad. In stores here it's €59.99 >_>

 

[Smiles and Cries]

LCU is looking really good in these podcast vids

 

[Flightmare]

I was lucky, there was a weekend deal in Norway a couple of weeks ago with Lego City at 300 NOK ~40€ including shipping. I have always enjoyed Lego games so really looking forward to this

 

[Ken]

Not in Europe, but I should have mentioned it

Not even in NA; LCU comes out on the 18th and MH the 19th.

Bastard! Will it be in Norwegian though?

 

[tiny raptor]

So, anyone brave enough to pre-order this from Amazon?

Why not?

 

[v1oz]

Will this game be getting any DLC?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Will this game be getting any DLC?

the dev seem to have said no to this

 

[Flightmare]

Doubt it, and I certainly hope not

 

[Dunkelgrau]

Cant wait. So hyped. In Europe we have to wait a week longer. :-(

 

[Smiles and Cries]

only hours away guys! download at midnight

22GB ;_;

Don't mock europeans like that

 

[JoeM86]

Don't mock europeans like that

Don't worry, with Nintendo's server speeds, the download will probably be finished just as us lot from Europe get it

 

[Plinko]

So, anyone brave enough to pre-order this from Amazon?

I did. Delivery on Wednesday.

I've had it preordered there for about a year, though.

 

[Flightmare]

:lol

 

[tiny raptor]

Why not?

I'm considering just seeing if I can pick it up in a store tomorrow, rather than chance Amazon's notice of a manufacturer shipping delay. Same thing happened with Awakening, and even those who pre-ordered didn't get it 'til weeks later.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'll time mine out of spite

 

[Plinko]

If it's delayed I'll just cancel the order and pick it up at Best Buy.

That's an option.

10 Mbps (10Base-T) 04:53:20 this is the amount of time it should take to download 22GB

http://www.numion.com/calculators/time.html

if this stayed steady I could be playing at 6am

 

[deviljho]

My HD is coming in a few days. Can I buy this and not download it immediately? Will the eShop let me do that?

Let me know what you think of the load times, it'll be interesting to see whether the digital copy has significantly reduced load times

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I've been watching a lot of press videos with the load time wish I had a SSD for this one lol
they should patch this issue even if they can only shave 15 seconds it would help

My HD is coming in a few days. Can I buy this and not download it immediately? Will the eShop let me do that?

if the game has been flag to need an HDD maybe not

 

[Flightmare]

Can I buy this and not download it immediately?

What would be the point of that?

 

[Xander51]

I'm excited for this! Does anyone know if the midnight rollout is tied to your region or one specific time zone? I've never purchased an eShop game at midnight before.

I think it's probably PDT since NoA is in Redmond. But somebody else can probably confirm that.

 

[Katzii]

Eh... Waiting just over a week for a game really isn't too difficult.

 

[ColdBlooder]

I just saw a Lego City Undercover commercial on TV in Germany.

Dat Shibata difference!

Is Shibata in the commercial?

Nope but at least one guy outside NCL is doing his job

I'm not one to defend NOA, but I've seen the commercial run a few days ago and seen it run since then many times. The commercial is also pretty good.

I'm gonna guess it's the guy who's division has 3 commercials up in the OP.

 

[hokahey]

Seeing tons of commercials on the kid networks (Disney, Nick). Would be surprised if this doesn't spike console sales a bit.

Any game releases at all would spike sales, but a quality, exclusive Lego game, a MonHun HD game, and arguably the bet version of Need for Speed should really give sales an extra kick in the pants. I just hope that these are marketed enough and that there aren't any fucking distribution issues like there were with Fire Emblem.

 

[CoolS]

Looking forward to the impressions from Gafers starting tomorrow. Should be good

 

[4Scarr]

i hope this is available at 12 midnight EST and not PST anyone know?

 

[PhoenixSFT]

Hooray for the Target buy 2 get 1 deal, going to pick up Lego City, MonHun, and Tomb Raider on Tuesday.

...there's like 3 NA commercials..

I just cant see even a small spike in sales, if the wiiU was $250 maybe but not at $300, I hope though.

I certainly can't see it selling less than last month. There are actual games coming out that are exclusive. That has to cause an increase, no matter how slight.

 

[EloquentM]

are the communities up yet for these three games?

 

[darkressurection]

Man, I am scared at how long this download is gonna potentially take. Even if it maxes out my connection it is still gonna take quite a while. Between that and the Target 2 for 1 sale I am starting to think that buying eShop cards in advance for this and MH3U was a stupid idea.

 

[4Scarr]

Not in North America yet

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Not in North America yet

7 hours from now it will show up on eShop

 

[Smiles and Cries]

LCU should be up at midnight

 

[krypt0nian]

Yeah I don't see a spike, as they really don't have a system seller rep, but it has to sell more this month with games coming out.
