GRTV: Vi träffar game directorn för Lego Marvel

GRTV-teamet träffade game director Arthur Parsons på TT Games för att snacka om det enorma antalet figurer som kommer vara spelbara i kommande Lego Marvel Super Heroes (ungefär 150 unika), och den otroliga spelmässiga bredd detta ger.

Parsons berättar bland annat: "It's been a complete evolution. We didn't start with this many characters. We never planned for this many characters. But all the way along it's been some sort of juggernaut, because, you know, the guys we work with at Marvel."

Han fortsätter: "They're great guys and they keep in and going "can you put this character in?", and then you've got Lego coming along saying "can you put this character in?", and then we've got the consumer who been watching the footage of the game going "can we put these characters in?". We're just like "well, go on, we've still got space on the disc" and so we'll put in as many characters as we can . Obviously we've called time on it now, but we didn't intend for there to be this many."

I intervjun får vi även höra om cameos i spelet, inte minst från självaste Stan Lee: "When me and the guys first started putting pen to paper. The first thing we wrote down was Stan Lee. We wanted to get Stan Lee to be the civilian in peril. The guy in the level that's stranded and stuck. He's the king of cameos. He has cameos in every movie. We had to get him in the game."

Som bekant släpps Lego Marvel Super Heroes till vartenda format av rang i november. Kolla in resten av intervjun för fler smaskiga detaljer om vad som väntar i julens kanske roligaste partyspel.
