During last week's deluge of Computex news, I somehow missed that Lego is developing a PC game that looks very similar to Minecraft. Lego Worlds is billed as a "fully open-world, creativity-driven game." It offers procedurally generated worlds filled with virtual bricks, beasts, and building options galore. Check out the trailer:
In an interesting twist, Lego Worlds is already available as part of Steam's Early Access program, and it seems to be off to a promising start, with 89% positive reviews. The current version has terraforming and building tools, rideable creatures and vehicles, and a full day-to-night cycle, among other features. It's a single-player affair for now, but planned features include an online multiplayer mode, additional environments, more minifig options, and lots of pre-built content.
Eager builders can get their feet wet with the early version of Lego Worlds for only $14.99. The price will go up when the full version is released. A release candidate is scheduled for early 2016, while the final version will probably follow later in the year.

I still don’t know why we don’t call “GTA clones” Lego Island clones
Needs an Android version.
There were many times that [i<]Minecraft[/i<] ran...poorly on my machines. I remember having the game crash simply by walking too far away in a single session. But with iteration, things got better. I expect the same thing to happen with [i<]LEGO Worlds[/i<] between now and the expected "full release" in 2016.
Completely missing at least part of what made minecraft successful – it can run on pretty much anything.
Oh well guess I won’t be getting it than.
So how’s that beach?? All cleaned up?? 😉
Let’s hope it doesn’t get dongled!

“Watch this video and you will $%*^ bricks”?
Sounds cool. So long as it doesn’t displace kids from building stuff with REAL Legos.
Cranky ol’, 40-something, crotchety Gen X guy:
“When I was a kid, we used to take notes during class…using a pencil….and we used this stuff called paper….bound up in a spiral notebook. And other loose paper, that was in the TRAPPER KEEPER…you know, to KEEP the TRAPS”
And last I checked, we already lived in an open world. Though I guess Richard Stallman might debate that.
apparently, actually it runs like a dog. fps are terrible across the board. so, yes.
But do I need a GTX 980 to run it????????
What no pun for the article title? 😛
