New LEGO MMO Trailer- Debut'd at CES.


Recommended Posts

Interesting, but the whole point of Lego is creativity. Will we be able to build stuff? You'd want to be able to make your own weapons and cars and such.

Looks good though.

You DO get to build stuff in the MMO.

I'll probably be getting access to the beta.. Net Devil told me to get in contact with them after they started doing Beta things, and I'd be invited.

I'll see if they grant me rights to talk about it.

Well, that makes it much more interesting for me then, One of the things I loved about the Blockland game was being able to build absolutely anything (Could build your own blocks and then add custom code for buttons and such)

Wonder what the costs will be.

So going from the second video they are saying "Monthly cost" but Minifig and I were told F2P last year. hmmm.. Also we were told that once this comes out, there will be certain lego kits you buy in stores like ToysRus or Walmart, etc, that once you open the box they will have a code inside that allows you to get the kit you just purchased in game, or another sort of item.

So I think thats great for the kids. I mean I am excited about it, but you know what, if it isn't F2P then it isn't worth it. There are to many "great" F2P MMO's out there, and I mean look at Free Realms..

Rumor is it's free to play, paid for by LEGO fans all over the world supporting the servers by buying LEGO (as LEGO has a HUGE stake in this), and they're allowing downloadable/upgrade content for a minimal cost.

FREE TO PLAY?

Well, my mind is decided then, i am getting this game haha. Anyway, i prefer MMORPG's which are free or no monthly fee's (which is why i adore Guild Wars).

This brings back great memories of playing with Lego. I really would love to see the old-school Lego Space styles (Blacktron, Uniton, M:Tron, etc.). Will keep an eye on this. I personally love the of building stuff.

so is this like some sort of collaborative CAD for Lego, with added RPG elements?

hmm i wish that you could collect the blocks for everything you destroy...not just the standard videogame powerups/collectibles ...

something like going over to your friends house to play with his Lego.... after he finishes building whatever he built, smash it and take home the bricks which made it up...

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.3 is out.
    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
