Womp it has to be the Pro Pad for some reason or another. I know on the back of the box it doesn't show the propad as being supported.
Wife and I played co-op, and she was using the Wiimote+Nunchuck like it says on the back of the box and we had a drop to about 20 fps on the Heli-carrier deck, and that was it for frame drops until we made it to the open city and I went off in to the sky with spidey and hit a busy area that caused another drop to the 20s otherwise it runs great.
So I am guessing that is why there is no propad support officially
Not before I get Lego Toy Story.
Toy Story 3 is already similar enough to the Lego games, and I doubt they'd have a big enough cast.
TMNT doesn't have as big of cast as Marvel or DC, but they could fill it out with all the toy characters, costumes, etc

Oh man. The Steam Icon for Lego Marvel is so much unlike the other Lego games. It pains me.
I can chime in how much I like this game off the bat. One thing I really like is the open world like Undercover, once we were dropped in it, I took off with Iron Man in to the sky and fly around on the gamepad for a good 30 minutes just exploring, and the wife switched to Venom and swung around the TV.
Game is a solid LEGO game so far, the abilities are varied, you use every character that is available it seems like in the levels. Enjoying it, looking forward to blowing it wide open and getting everything.

yeah its great that you get to play with new stuff often
Even though combat is just mashing, each character having unique animations is neat.

It's coming, but no date for it yet.
This is why I keep saying people shouldn't wait for any eShop versions or stuff.

Looking to get this on Wii U for Christmas (gonna need a few Wii U games to play, though at this point, might need PS4 games...) but after hearing about some of the performance issues, I'd rather try a demo before a family member puts down money on this.

Pro pad worked just fine for us tonight. Framerate just dropped in the same spots you mentioned.
The framerate during the intro to the helicarrier stage was terrible (with 2 players). When you land on the ground after that, its still a little choppy, but it gets better after that. The framerate does increase noticeably if you drop to single player.
Going around New York with Spider-Man and Venom is extremely fun. It's like the Ultimate Spider-Man sequel I always wanted.

I thought they got a pretty good fake Loki, and a REALLY good fake Agent Coulson, until I learned it was actually him doing the voice.
In his room? Can't figure out how to buy them

Is scorpion in this game?
Thanks. Evidently it's not on Steam.

Is there a place I can go to re-watch the cutscenes? Also, does anyone know if the replaing a level in free play auto-skips the cutscenes. Some Lego games do that, some don't.

yep. No clue what Stark's voice is suppose to be though. What are y'all's favorite heroes so far in terms of gameplay/dialogue?
Mr fantastic is just great. So is hulk. I just love transforming and untransforming lol. Spiderman plays quite good too. Weird that ironman doesn't seem to have any melee attacks while most other ranged characters have melee animations too.
Yeah from the main room go into the Hallway on the left and he's one of the rooms on the right. There should be a TV where you can press B (or O) to choose from Red Bricks to buy.
Note the 2x one is 1 000 000 Studs.

about when does the open world stuff unlock?
In
atm.
In
osborne place
Right after that level, thankfully.
Yeah, I think that's what they're saying - they thought it was a great impression until they realised it was the actual actor performing the lines.
The Iron Man/Tony Stark voice actor is the guy from Heroes who does the voice for him in the cartoons, so I guess that's what they're going for with that. Same with a bunch of the other characters, they're mostly voiced by the same actors from the animated shows. Nice little touch that. I don't watch them, but it shows they're trying to get people who "get" the characters and can have a little fun and bring some of that characterisation to the game.
eh, you're not entirely wrong.. But Deus Ex was up yesterday (10/22 release). And I guarantee you Arkham Origins will be up on Friday.. but yeah.. eShop is hit and miss with day and date digital releases.. Nintendo really needs to get on top of that.

kinda wish the game has something similar to the arkham games with the character bios. Not too familiar with the marvel universe and i'm curious what stuff like that robot at fantastic hq is about.
And I do love the running gag of the police goofing around when arresting the villains.

Are the achievements working on the Steam version yet? Waiting until that is fixed before I start it up...
I was waiting for this to come out on PS4, but I don't think I can justify paying an extra $40 for what will be at best the same version of the game itself.
I haven't heard any news on the performance of the PS4 version or if it'll run at 30 or 60 fps and the share button stuff isn't enough of a draw.
Not just that but I'd need to buy an additional PS4 controller to play it with my son, where as on PC I can play it with him without additional hardware. Hard to pass it up at $22, so PC it is.

well i can tell you it runs fine on pc. Mostly 60 for me with some frame drops during transitions from cutscene to in game, but its ok and it looks as good as any of the marketing material, so it would be weird if ps4/xbone versions randomly looked way better.

When creating a custom character, is there a way to remove hair or a helmet entirely? Once I chose a hair option, I can only cycle through the remaining pieces of hair. I can't find a way to just remove it. My alternate colored Spider-Man shouldn't have hair over his mask.
Try starting with a Blank spidey

How do I do that?
Good to know, that's how the demo ran so it was what I was expecting.
I have no expectations that the PS4/Xbox One will run better....if anything I'm afraid that it won't run at 60fps. They've stayed very quiet about it so I'd rather have the version that I know will run flawlessly on my PC.
I've only played three missions and dicked around in NYC a bit, but I feel like this is the best LEGO game yet.
Ened up with the 360 version because the Wii U one wasn't in yet. There's a few graphical issues related to lighting and glare (result of being a down port from next gen?) and the tearing is awful. The vehicle and flight controls are a bit sketchy too, but overall this game is pretty great.
One question though...when do you get the ability to change to any unlocked character at will in NYC? Coming across gold bricks you can't complete is annoying.

i'm also playing at 1440p which next consoles will probably not support
The super low res 'coins' or w/e they are called are hilarious at times when they are way in the foreground.
I'm hoping that we will end up getting it since it's a Steamworks title.
Deadpool is objectively the best voice
Me and the boy enjoyed this last night on the PC. We only managed to get past
before his bedtime.
How long in before you can create custom heroes?
Another vouch for the PC version too. i5-3570 (non-K), 8GB DDR3, 7870XT 2GB and it runs on max settings, 1080p constant 60fps. I know it's not a graphically demanding game but still. I wish the AA was better though...I'd rather not resort to fixing AA outside of a game.

and the game makes it seem like touch is the only way to play the game when you start. I don't like the changes, they seem arbitrary. I can die now? Wtf is up with that?
