Wait, so they had a unique design but just used the same formula?

Lego can't stake claim to things like "adaptive difficulty" as to solely control such things would limit innovation too much

"different abilities depending on costume worn, and the ability to play through several films"

I know they aren't claiming to have invented this stuff, but it is no way plagirism to combine such elements together in a similar formula.

Didn't Final Fantasy X-2 do that too?


Honestly Disney having an original idea these days is a reason to celebrate. Copying other people is just business as usual. That, and pumping out sequels and remakes to the original. I'm looking at you Pirates of the Caribbean.

Is there any actual gameplay footage? It's a little difficult to comment with an informed opinion, if not.

But from what info there is, I'm more inclined to side with the Lego guy. I'm tired of devs ripping off each others IP and justifying it by 'it's what we do'. The industry is too conservative and insular, and could do with more innovation and less sequels/copies.
