Animator confirms Lego Harry Potter, Lego Indy Crystal Skull

[liquidcross]

Found on Joystiq:

Charlotte Parker, a cutscene animator at Traveller's Tales, has confirmed to VG247 that both Lego Harry Potter and Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are on the way. "But they're not confirmed," Parker said. "I can't really talk about them." That means, of course, that Parker didn't provide any details of release plans for either game, including dates or platforms.

Parker's CV reportedly listed the two Lego series game titles, though they were removed. According to GamesIndustry.biz, the CV also listed work on a demo of a Hobbit game, intended to be pitched to Peter Jackson.

A LEGO Harry Potter game is a natural, but somewhat surprising since the line is dead. The LEGO Indiana Jones sequel is not a bit surprising, yet it kind of worries me, since I don't think basing an ENTIRE LEGO Indy game on that one movie is a great idea. I'm sure I'll probably buy, and enjoy, both anyway.

A Lego Harry Potter game about 6 or even all 7 movies would be very interesting and awesome.

I wonder if the Indy Game would be a "Complete Saga" with all 4 movies or all about the 4th.

If it is a "complete saga", will be seriously grumbling, unless it somehow updates or includes different content from the previous movies. If it just repackages the last game with like 6 Crystal Skull levels tacked on, I will be annoyed. Six new levels won't be worth the cost of a whole new game to me, much as I would like to play them.

LEGO Harry Potter could totally work. Hopefully it's better than the old ones.

I will definitely pick up Lego HP if/when it comes out. I like to try and predict just how they'll make the game. Like, in the other Lego games, there was always a main area, but with HP, I would expect somewhere in Hogwarts (probably the Gryffindor common room) would be the main area, since so much of the story line would happen within various places in Hogwarts. And I hope they're able to cram more stuff in because they'll save space by reusing some maps since it's all in the same place.

I honestly hope the Indiana Jones Game is not only based on the fourth one. Does anyone think they know how Lego is going to show the man get eaten alive by ants?

The New Harry Potter games has me excited, provided it is not like every other Harry Potter game out there. These Lego games excel at hidden rooms and traps, which is perfect for Harry Potter and Hogwarts. The only problem I see here is how the designers are going to make the game more kid friendly when the last few movies have been so dark. Other than that, this game looks, or sounds, to be very promising.

All eight movies. This may give us some idea of the timing (and perhaps a resurgence of the line?), i.e. sometime in 2011 when said last film hits theaters.

I honestly hope the Indiana Jones Game is not only based on the fourth one. Does anyone think they know how Lego is going to show the man get eaten alive by ants?

Easy - they disassemble him and carry him off piece by piece, while the disconnected head makes angry faces. It'll be hilarious.

Sounds interesting. I'll definitely be picking up HP, though probably not CS, unless it's got a LOT of new content.

Nevar, evar, evor diss LEGO CREATOR HARRY POTTER. (I love that game; rather, liked it a lot as a kid.)

Anywho, LHP the video game sounds completely and totally bith'. I will get it.

On the other hand, I don't really care for Lego IJ.

[Jettbacca]

I'll probably get Lego HP and also Indy. Suprising though, since the line is dead.

[Zeron175]

Very odd since the HP line is dead. I'll likely get both and then keep waiting for lego spiderman.

[Teekay]

All right, sorry for the minor bump, but I just realized that I read a story that involved George Lucas announce that in Indy 5, Harrison Ford has been confirmed to star as Indy. They are just looking for an artifact to find. But this was a couple months ago, so I'll have to look a while for the story, but I'll try.

I'm very much looking forward to the Lego Harry Potter game. Perhaps they'll design the game off the first four movies, then in the future they'll do the last four. Not so keen in Indy 2, seems like a waste of a game to me.

I can't beleive no one took notice of this yet:

Parker's CV reportedly listed the two Lego series game titles, though they were removed. According to GamesIndustry.biz, the CV also listed work on a demo of a Hobbit game, intended to be pitched to Peter Jackson.

[liquidcross]

That's not necessarily a LEGO Hobbit game. It's more likely the officially licensed crappy movie game.

[Flynn]

It really all depends on whether or not her "CV" (Not sure what exactly that is...) only works on the LEGO games or other stuff as well. I'm willing to see both arguments at this point.

Curriculum Vitae or résumé. Basically a list of all the jobs she has had, projects she has worked on, etc. Any non-LEGO games work she has done should also appear on it.

The article mentions "two Lego series games" and then the Hobbit game as a separate item, so I agree with liquidcross that this is more than likely a non-LEGO game.

Especially on a movie that's not that great to begin with.

Okay, thanks, then. You're probably all right, I was just hoping...
