The majority of the model is red, however, it does feature old grey and light grey as a secondary colour for the long motor and cars wheels. But I really hope to see more out-there ideas for the next games in this deal.The Island Racer is predominately a one-seated race car of Lord Sinister's. If it can channel the energy of those 90s games, I’m there for 2K Drive day one. Very early rumors of a deal between Lego and 2K Games suggested the pair were partnering on multiple games – of which Lego 2K Drive would be only the first. Lego Island was something quite different - relaxing, for the most part, the perfect game for kids to noodle around in, discovering secrets, tackling missions, and mini-games, and… god, I imagine a new one of these and the thought runs away. There’s distant threads of relation from Lego Island to City Undercover years later - except City Undercover’s largest inspiration is Grand Theft Auto, and so it has the pace and feel of those titles. As a kid it captured my imagination and utterly enraptured me - and it’s the sort of open world game that isn’t made very often any more. And, well, the one I really want is Lego Island.Ī breezy exploration-based open world adventure, Lego Island is just a masterful piece of design. Or that idea could be mapped to another current theme such as Monkie Kid, City, or Ninjago. Rock Raiders was a great real-time strategy game and could be ripe for a revival, even if it’s no longer an active Lego theme. If you remember this screen, you're a real one. But I really hope this can lead to revivals of more of those nineties classics. Lego Racing has even had a light run-out in the form of Forza Horizon DLC. And yet… this isn’t what I really want yet. So to say I’m excited is a bit of an understatement. I even called out Lego Racers in that article. I bemoaned how so much from Lego games-wise was now formulaic. I called for this last year, in fact, saying how I missed Lego’s early, experimental period with gaming. The idea of a modern take on these titles is really, really exciting – and it’s nice to see Lego finally breaking out of an admittedly bulletproof formula that’s worked flawlessly for years. Plus, I regard the 90s Lego Racers games, which launched in different guises on PC, PlayStation, PS2, Game Boy, and N64, to be classics. Though still similar in many ways, the last game to really scratch this itch for me was the criminally underrated Lego City Undercover – so I’m just thrilled to see something new. Dimensions was the same sort of game as the licensed products but with a toys-to-life NFC element. I like the adventure games that Traveler’s Tales has specialized in for years well enough, but we haven’t had something truly different in a very long time. So this is all obviously real.Īren't these just the most immaculate vibes?Īnyway. Octan is a fake gas station and motoring brand that goes back to the Lego City sets of the 80s and 90s.
The announcement features roads under construction and a logo of Octan Racing. Lego has finally teased an announcement for later this week. One prolific leaker (who generally specializes in reprinting things gleaned from media who have seen stuff under embargo but can’t keep their mouth shut) suggests that there’s a closed beta for the game, and screenshots have even leaked online. If you’ve not been following the video game rumor circuit, this game is supposedly called Lego 2K Drive, and it’s basically been described as a 'Mario Kart-style racer' that also takes inspiration from the classic Lego Racing games of years gone by, of which there’s a few.
