Lego plans to avoid brand saturation by using new ideas in future titles
9/29/12 10:20pm
It's clear to see that the Lego games have grown in popularity with a new title being released every year for the past decade. That being said, it doesn't look like the brand will be going away anytime soon.
According to an interview with GameSpot, Senior development manger of video and mobile games Darryl Kelley says the reason the brand has lasted for so long is because each game provides something different to the series.
"I think any developer, or any publisher, or any toy manufacturer would always look at [Brand Saturation] from an acute strategic and competitive point of view"
"And it's important that... we're adding novelty to each and every game. There's always something new; there's always something different. We're always looking to add different layers... weather it's a feature or a function or it's new hardware, which we'll have the luxury of having over the next few years. So it's definitely been a concern, and it's just important to maintain a healthy balance"
Kelley explains another reason why the Lego series has lasted for so long is because the Lego Group makes sure each game is tied with a real life toy set...
"We design every game as a support of a core product"
"We've learned from the past that we need support to make sure every game is supported from a core theme that we have physically available to our consumers"
Some of the franchise's biggest games like Lego Star Wars, Batman and Harry Potter have sold over millions of copies, and with two more Lego games set to come out this year, being Lord of the Rings and Lego City Undercover for the Wii U, it's easy to see that the Lego train isn't slowing down anytime soon.

I like the Lego games. I think they are a lot of fun and the cut scenes are funny. As for voice acting, I am not sure how well it will work. I haven't picked up Batman 2 yet , but I am looking forward to Lord of the Rings.

When I get a Wii U (next year probably), I'm getting Lego City Underground for sure. I love the Lego Games for their humor and parodies of the title movies/books they represent.

I like them I might buy Lotr Lego.

Lego Racers 3, please?

Oh, the humor of LEGO with the advent of voice acting. What's not to love?

I for one prefer the lego games without Voice Acting... IDK just something about hearing Legos talk takes me out of it.
