Each mission has at least a basic cinematic, though several have genuinely entertaining cutscenes. Most of the acting is very well done, and includes recurring voice actors such as Troy Baker (Batman), Travis Willingham (Superman), and, in a great cameo, Adam West (as in the 1960s Batman). In another example of the great amount of detail Traveller’s Tales went to produce the whole package, LEGO Batman 3 is fully voiced. Console parity was also likely a priority by the developer, given that the game is out on the PS4, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, 3DS, Windows and even iOS! Great Details, Batitude to Match But still, I would have liked to see how many LEGO entities could be kept on the screen at a time before the frame rate started to dip. With the art style of LEGO games, I suppose there is a certain threshold for realistic graphics before the game loses some of its charm. Our unit’s fans hardly whirred while the game was playing, indicating that it wasn’t stressed. But it’s certainly not pushing the PS4 very hard. Technically speaking, LEGO Batman 3 looks good and runs smoothly. Of course, co-op play is here as well, so LEGO Batman 3 remains a great game to play with a friend or, ideally, your children. Once you beat a mission, you can go back and replay it in an attempt to nab all the LEGO pieces and collect every hidden secret, as well as save Adam West in whatever perilous situation he currently finds himself in. With a large story to get through, it’s no surprise that the game proceeds in a linear fashion, so it cannot really be faulted for this. You are able to free-roam in certain rooms, but beyond that, you progress from mission to mission in a straight line. While there are dozens of missions available, the game is fairly linear. It’s impressive the way Traveller’s Tales integrated so many different genres at times, without breaking the game. Boss battles occasionally take place in minigames as well, which could be decent standalone games all their own. Some of these puzzles are in the form of minigames, such as switching circuits on a giant board to bypass a lock, or playing what is essentially a quick version of the plumber game, where you have to make a complete path for fluid to take from one end of the area to the other. Usually, the solution is to break everything in sight, which uncovers hopping LEGO pieces that must be assembled into some contraption to help you move forward. While most of these are pretty simple, and the game constantly bombards you with obvious hints, occasionally some of these puzzles are not so clear at first. Like any good LEGO game, each mission has several puzzles for you to solve. Robin gains abilities such as a suit that lights up the darkness after being charged, and another that allows you to control an even tinier remote-controlled version of him to travel to those hard-to-reach locations and continue on. Batman and Robin are the first to see this, and some suits enable Batman to become invisible, or enter a green detective mode to discover hidden interactive objects. Once you acquire suits by playing through the campaign, your character can be used in certain different situation, and gain new abilities. New to the Batman entries is the Gadget Wheel. X jumps/glides/flies, depending on your character, and square attacks. Much like any other LEGO game, you move around with the left analog stick, and can pan the camera temporarily with the right stick. So get ready to blast off in a rocket fuelled Starfield performance preview.Controls are deceptively simple. We also compare the improvements over the previous showing, enhancements within the engine, and much more. The biggest question after the show(s) was: why is it 30fps on Xbox Series X and Series S and not 60fps? In this IGN Performance preview, we dive into the details shared by the team, the revealed PC minimum and recommended specifications, and how the Creation Engine 2 works, comparing the previous games to gauge some of the potential reasons why the team might have chosen 30fps. With Starfield being the center of the Xbox 2023 Showcase last week, Bethesda gave us a deep dive into one of the biggest games this generation.
