LEGO Worlds Released in Early Access

lego-worlds-screen-shot-07

Out of nowhere, Traveller’s Tales Games and Warner Bros Interactive have released LEGO Worlds on Steam Early Access. The title is a procedurally generated game, allowing players to have endless worlds to explore. The first look at the title shows that LEGO has created a title with amazing depth.

lego-worlds-screen-shot-05

Much like Minecraft, there are endless biomes to explore, and minerals to explore and use. The building system is a bit more akin to the Creative mode, as players have access to endless bricks and colors from the first load, as well as landscape altering tools. However, while LEGO Worlds  seems to lack a crafting system, players can unlock various sets which they can place anywhere at any time.

LEGO Worlds seems to have come out of the blue to launch on Early Access. In fact, it wasn’t even on the list for the planned LEGO titles in 2015. The title has a remarkable amount of polish, and regular content updates have been planned to introduce more and more sets into the game. Additional planned features can be seen listed below.

  • Like/Dislike system for tailoring World Generation
  • Procedurally Generated Underground Cave Networks
  • LEGO ID integration to allow for sharing and uploading of in-game builds
  • Additional Biomes
  • Painting Themes
  • Pre-Generated Towns/Villages/Settlements relevant to the Biome
  • Updated AI Behaviors to provide organic feeling to free-roaming creatures and characters
  • Red Brick Extras
  • Full liquid behaviors
  • Additional Minifigure Characters and Creatures
  • Additional Vehicles and Pre-Built Models
  • Additional Weapons
  • Cut/Copy/Paste chunks of landscape
  • Underwater Gameplay (including Vehicles, Creatures and additional sea life)
  • Character Customizer
  • Online Multiplayer

It’s pretty clear that this title is taking it’s shot at PC gamers, as Minecraft has often been called a LEGO-like video game. The initial release can be had on Steam Early Access for $14.99 (USD). It’s interesting to see Warner Bros Interactive & Traveller’s Tales releasing this on Early Access first, and hopefully LEGO Worlds proves to fully bring the creative world of LEGO to digital platforms. Check out a trailer and the full gallery of screenshots below.

New trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s Exo Zombies Carrier Emerges

call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-supremacy-03

Say that five times fast. We were already excited to find out that the new Supremacy DLC featuring Exo Zombies Carrier would be landing this week, but now Activision have decided to make a small wait even harder with some new footage featuring the likes of Bruce Campbell, Rose McGowan, John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, and Jon Bernthal.

The clip pretty much runs over the plot for the lastest addition to Call of Duty, with a tale of betrayal and survival. It honestly looks pretty great altogether, and I must say that Sledgehammer nailed the faces for the actors perfectly. Check out the trailer down below and you can pick up this DLC for your Xbox console as of tomorrow (with other platforms following suit soon).

For the slightly classier folk, the Pegassi Osiris sports car features gull wing doors and a sleek look that screams sex appeal. Those who prefer the old Americans classics can check out the Albany Virgo.

A whole bunch of high end clothing are being added to vendors across San Andreas, along with a new Combat PDW, in case the fight is going to get up close and personal.

Gamers, the long awaited DirectX 12 is coming. Windows 10 is launching around the world on July 29, 2015. Microsoft’s new OS represents a huge change in the company’s direction. It is bringing devices of all size running on one operating system, from the smallest smartphone to monster gaming PCs. To the glee of many longtime Windows users, the old school start menu is making its return.

For gamers, Windows 10 has a lot of exciting potential. DirectX 12 is bringing low level APIs to all gamers, no matter if you run an AMD, Nvidia, or Intel GPU. If low level APIs sound familiar to you, it’s the same type of APIs AMD introduced with Mantle, in hopes of making PCs run more efficiently, like consoles.

Speaking of consoles, Windows 10 is introducing better connectivity with Xbox One. Xbox One owners will now be able to stream their games to their PC or tablet. Xbox Live is making its return to Windows, bringing with it all the social features and Game DVR to Windows 10.

Good news for owners of Windows 7 and 8. Microsoft is dead set on getting the entire world onto Windows 10 as soon as possible, so your upgrade is free for the life of your device. The upgrade will roll out on PCs and tablets first, with other devices following later in 2015. Read more about the upgrade program here.
