Starting point is 00:00:03 Yes, ladies and gentlemen, what you are looking at is 30 minutes of Lego Batman, Legacy of the Dark Night Gameplay. Now, of course, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because of course, this came from the game, the games calm 2025 event. So with that being said, it's running from August 20th to the 24th. So it obviously has a lot more reveals to be had. So when it comes to the overall coverage of that specific event, I'm going to wait to a complete so I can highlight the best
Starting point is 00:00:40 moments of that convention. Because right now we don't know what's the best moments, right? One of the main things I wanted to get into was Lego Batman, because of course you already know, I am a huge superhero fan to the point where I think Batman and Superman is definitely one of the most pivotal
Starting point is 00:00:58 superheroes, especially for pushing the genre forward. So I love to see the Lego take on Batman not be the same like we usually see as far as I would say simplistic mechanics as far as fighting and overall Lego building and things of that nature because now we gain a more in-depth more of some would say Arkham like Lego Batman so now is a more in-depth combat things in nature we're going to get into the video we're not going to get into the whole thing obviously but before we do get into the video just want to let you know of course for those who don't know about this game it is an
Starting point is 00:01:32 upcoming open world action adventure video game developed by t t games and published by warner bros of course set to release in 2026 so safe to say 2026 is going to be a pack year when it comes to gaming and it's coming out on the playstation 5 Xbox series s and x nintendo switch 2 and pc steam and epic game store so with that being said it's drawing inspiration from the entire legacy of batman over 86 years and when it comes to that TVs, comics, and games, and it's all blended into one overall Lego project. So with that being said, before you get into the gameplay, let's watch the trailer for those who haven't seen this game at all. And then after that, went into a little bit of the gameplay, I'm going to let it play out
Starting point is 00:02:20 for a little bit. So y'all get to see what this game looks like as far as from a gameplay standpoint. But here's the actual trailer for a Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Night. Once again, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video. along with the audio because we're about to get into the trailer and then the gameplay right now. Yeah, at first glance, you probably thought it was just a regular Batman game and then watch how it gets more in-depth for the combat. I need to become more than a man. I need to become a symbol. But what did you have in mind?
Starting point is 00:03:11 Because usually when you look at these games, like they have a simplistic way of like fighting different enemies because usually there's a lot of different superheroes and things of that. nature. I think because they're solely focusing on Batman for this particular game, the gameplay loop is going to be very fleshed out as far as the combat mechanics, which you will see in a second. Got to build the mechanics, of course. So this is what I was talking about as far as Arkham now. You see him using the vision right here as far as sneaking around. So it's more of an open world setting, which already lets you know the amount of work that's been put into this game, right? Open world Lego Batman, I mean, sign everybody up. I don't care what age you are. Like, this is straight peak that we're watching right now.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Between this, a Marvel token, superhero fans who are also gamers is eating right now. Oh, he said the line. No, it's like. Now, I will say the voice actor is not the greatest, but it's all right. Serious. You want to get nuts? Let's get nuts. Yeah, I don't know who the voice actor is for the Lego Batman, but I'm not saying they should swap them out because, you know, obviously this game's already and, you know, well,
Starting point is 00:04:35 into the development cycle but it's just not really it's not i know you know r p to kevin conroy i don't compare everybody to him but the voice could be a little better that's a little nitpick allergic to nuts who's the man behind the mask like come on the world there's that arkham knight influence and then that's the batman movie inspiration obviously james gun probably looking at this like see i told you man i told you we need to get Robert Pattinson in our DC universe and they still can't pull that off I don't know what they're gonna do they're gonna have like three four five Batman's running around for no reason some of the ducks everywhere darkness is your ally you merely adopted the dark I was born in it molded by such a great line not gonna lie to you that there I could have really hurt myself all right so as you can see you know whenever they show a overall year without some
Starting point is 00:06:06 specifically saying in a month I'm just always hesitant because you never know when it's going to eventually come out they can push it back they can move it up with gtas six not having the actual release date I think a lot of games are planning their marketing release schedule around uh gtas six but of course this is bad man I'm not trying to disrespect Batman but it's not Gtas six right it's up there though it's definitely up there so here's the 36 uh the 31 minute gameplay obviously we're not going to watch the whole thing but let's get into a good chunk of it right now three more chemicals the pre-alpha build. They make when mixed with a sample I brought you earlier.
Starting point is 00:06:43 So already you could tell the UI, the open world, like this is gonna be a game you can put some hours into it. I'm not gonna lie, you know, as far as the combat you could definitely tell for little kids, this is one of those type of games where this may be the introduction to the Arkham series. Imagine being a little Timmy going from this and growing up in realizing there's a whole mature version of this exact uh mechanic i think i think it's a great idea i like this i like everything about this game i'm not going to lie to you and you already know when it comes to batman and spider man they they come out with all type of content revolving around those superheroes because they drive the most engagement in the superhero landscape so i like how to keeping it fresh but also giving us another batman yet another batman game all right this man got finishers and
Starting point is 00:08:04 stuff oh hold on was that gordon getting to work Don't tell me Gordon got active. I didn't even notice that. Okay, I don't think he was getting active. I think that was just... Oh, actually, he is getting active. Wonderworld? Dang, Gordon putting them hands on people.
Starting point is 00:08:27 I ain't even notice that. That makes me think, is this gonna be co-op? Imagine you can jump in with your friends? That'll definitely be an argument. I don't want to play Batman. No, I don't want to play Batman. I can already see that the little Timmy's fighting over that.
Starting point is 00:08:47 I don't want to be Jim Gordon. I think, I think Little Timmy may enjoy this. I'm not, I'm not certain. I'm not certain. Shepard. Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? I'm going to skip that.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Come on now. That reminds me of those Marvels Spider-Man, that Spider-Man PS-4 puzzle. Hold on now. They showed us the character list. Who y'all think are going to show up in this game? Superman? No, just playing. That'll be fire if Superman shows up, but I doubt it.
Starting point is 00:09:50 You know, whenever you, have Batman and Spider-Man they can sell everything by themselves so they try to keep the budget to a minimum you don't need a lot of came now if it was a Superman solo game probably will have to have a Batman cameo oh okay they're showing the little suits in the world I ain't never seen Batman wear that one oh that boy got suits that boy got suited and booted on y'all what y'all what y'all think about that that boy got clean oh don't now yeah it's definitely arcan inspired look at this that's fire I can already tell a little Timmy about to get in trouble. They're going to take this game away.
Starting point is 00:10:36 He's going to throw a whole tantrum. Mom, you don't understand? I don't put 50 hours into this game. Got to focus. Okay, okay. Does he just sitting on people? What in the world? What, in the Moriah Meals?
Starting point is 00:11:29 All right, so they're analyzing the teddy bears. All right, so we got enough for this mission. Let me see what else we have right here. Mine's, haven't I gone over this enough times? The original Red Hood. We take one of these toys and another mixed with one of these. That'll take a while so. Hey, well, he kept on up in the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:11:50 He must have been listening to that Clips album. What do you know? It really is very effective. Dang, he took Joke a whole flow. Bar for bar, line for line. Red Hot 60s! 89. We're moving to manufacture.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Pencil and a meeting with the mayor. See what price and puts on the people of crime. God. Keep it locked. Time to break up this picnic. Nobody's getting past me. Nobody. What's the point of a stealth attack?
Starting point is 00:12:42 I didn't even do anything. Okay, Jim Gordon getting active too. I like that. As you can tell, the combat is definitely Arkham inspired, especially when he speeds up the punches. Oh, I got the blicky. Yeah, I definitely noticed this is co-op. I feel like you definitely be had to play this with other people. Let's try quickly.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Let's say, we don't know, yeah, it's not confirmed yet, but I would assume it's going to be a little co-op. Like, yeah, definitely, definitely co-op. All right? Get him now. You got to get flawless play-through, okay. Dang. That's a fatality, ain't it?
Starting point is 00:13:45 I thought this was a kid's game. Yeah, the voice actor could be a little better, but, you know, for little kids, I don't think they really care that much. hit the Star Wars effect. So much for criminal master. I wonder how DC gets away with that? Because that's not Marvel owned that soundbite.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Not Marvel, I'm tripping, Disney. Ah, okay, yeah, there's definitely gonna be a lot of Batman-type missions, because I can already see with Jim Gordon. He's gonna be a lot of other side characters. I'm still not certain if we're gonna get any like A-list sidekicks, like a-list sidekicks, like a Superman. I want to be surprised, but they'll probably keep that for like DFC or something. One thing about Lego puzzles is it never really that hard.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Alright, let's get forward a little bit more. So you're catching any different gameplay. What is this? Oh, he's just going here. It's okay. I think it's showing a little bit of this mission. Actually, this mission in this entirety. Nice little puzzle, actually.
Starting point is 00:15:50 That's what the same thing new. of us need to lift this quickly just a lot of puzzles right now jit get over here now and that boy strong it's a regular human doing those feats that's one thing about the batman movie man was doing all the most regular human activities i've ever seen the batman had no type of superhero feats you know besides the penguin uh crashing his own car i guess that's the only superhero feat for batman that's really just an aura farming moment give her dan with the devil in the pale moon light give me your head whoa is he not pressing r2 what oh hold of is that glitch ain't a way that was a glitch in the alpha all right a pre alpha
Starting point is 00:17:12 now we're not going to nitpick i know it's a kids game but you know that's kind of crazy i mean if you give a vertical slice you would hope stuff like that don't happen but it's a pre alpha beta so pre alpha build that boy did not care about him that is just a trick of the light break up the specialist hardware dang after all he did man see Batman and Spider-Man can never catch a break
Starting point is 00:17:56 what is this detective you guys pals or something not exactly Man, stuff popping in. That's tough. I wonder if they rushed this. That was a whole pop-in. Like, nobody saw that? I'm not even trying to be nitpicky.
Starting point is 00:18:25 That's, that's, in a vertical slice, you still not want things like this. Not exactly. All right, let me not be too hard on it. The whole building just popped up, but it's cool, though. I did not know that the Red Hood turned into Joker. Yeah, I don't remember that.
Starting point is 00:18:54 I think it's because I watched, I think it was Husk. I forget what it was called. I think it was Husk. And I'm not going to spoil it for people who haven't seen the animated Batman movie, but it's just straightfire. It was actually a twist on who the ending villain was. I think it was. Well, maybe it wasn't. I don't know. I forget.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Anyways, so that's Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Night Gameplay. As you can tell, I'm a huge superhero fan. I like to dive into the different theatrics of, you know, superhero tropes and things that nature. But at the end of the day, it looks fire. Like I said, it's set to release of 2026. buildings popping in all type of glitches happening but not all type of them
Starting point is 00:19:29 it was only two I noticed like obviously so it's definitely far out I wouldn't expect this anytime soon sets of release in 2026 on PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X and S Nintendo Switch 2 and PC so that being said and don't forget this game spans all of Batman's legacy
