Alongside all my other praise for this game, I really loved the immense level of detail put into making each and every LEGO brick component. That\u2019s not a coincidence, either, as it turns out the entire world is made out of individual bricks in a way that could apparently be reconstructed in real life from actual physical LEGO sets.Speaking to me at Summer Game Fest Play Days over the weekend, Guerrilla Games narrative director James Windeler told me about how this unique collaboration between Guerrilla and LEGO came about. Guerrilla had originally prototyped Horizon: Zero Dawn\u2019s robot dinosaurs in DUPLO and had a lot of interest in model building. The team wanted to make something more lighthearted for its next project. And then there was that LEGO Tallneck collaboration from a few years back. On the LEGO side, LEGO really liked that the Horizon games had bright colors and optimistic themes, as well as a relatively inclusive fanbase. Put it all together, and it\u2019s no wonder the two companies came to an understanding.Image credit: SonyMost LEGO games up to now have been made by what is now called TT Games, but TT isn\u2019t involved with this one. Instead, co-development group Studio Gobo and LEGO are working with Guerrilla Games, which itself has assembled a team including a number of individuals who worked on the original Zero Dawn. Windeler tells me many of them have had kids since Zero Dawn released, and those kids are now reaching an age where their parents want to play video games with them. Hence, Horizon Adventures\u2019 co-op feature.But a different team also means different approaches and capabilities, and for Guerrilla in particular that meant really focusing on the LEGO details. Windeler says the team wanted Horizon Adventures to feel like a \u201cplayable LEGO movie,\u201d and notes that every single asset in the game is \u201cbuilt from an individual [LEGO] brick.\u201d\u201cIt\u2019s designed by master builders,\u201d he says. \u201cAll of these things, from the coolest elements of Horizon, the majestic nature, the machines, the characters, they\u2019re all following the rules of physical LEGO. So even though they\u2019re made as digital assets, you could build them technically out of physical sets\u2026 And it also extends to the animation style and the way that the characters move in the game. There\u2019s this kind of stop-motion of all of the characters. Yeah, it\u2019s like a toy. \u2018Toyetic\u2019 was a word that was thrown around a lot as a target, and it\u2019s the idea that you\u2019re playing potentially with your own figurines.\u201dImage credit: SonyWhat Windeler is describing certainly showed in my hands-on time with the game. I pointed out that when characters fall off a high ledge, they humorously plop down flat like a LEGO figure knocked off a shelf. Then they quickly pop back up and trot off again with the jerky motions of a child walking a LEGO character around on a play mat. There are other little nods like that to the overall feel of playing with LEGOs\u2014for instance, when I rescued some Nora villagers in my demo, there were a few generic LEGO people mixed in with the Horizon-themed costumes. What was that about?\u201cWhen you\u2019re a kid, when you\u2019re playing LEGO, with LEGO, you\u2019re not necessarily building this completely unified world,\u201d Windeler explains. \u201cYou\u2019re using the LEGO that you have from your set.\u201d Fair enough.Windeler can\u2019t comment on whether or not the very real buildability of LEGO Horizon Adventures means more LEGO Horizon sets are on the way, nor can he speak for whether or not other PlayStation IP will get LEGO games. He does tell me that LEGO Horizon Adventures\u2019 story is about seven to eight hours long, and will have a replayable element at the end that will allow players to revisit regions they\u2019d previously visited and unlock more customizations and other things. As Windeler told me, Horizon Adventures isn\u2019t supposed to be a 20+ hour adventure the way Horizon: Zero Dawn was. It\u2019s loosely based on Zero Dawn, but it\u2019s meant to be digestible for everyone\u2014not just ten hours of in-jokes for existing fans of Horizon.\u201cThere\u2019s lots of nods, and I mentioned iconic scenes that we\u2019ve reinterpreted that will be recognizable and hopefully joyful to a fan of the series, but at the same time, we want people to come in who have no Horizon knowledge.\u201d"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Gaming","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/gaming\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Everything in LEGO Horizon Adventures Could Be Built Out of Actual LEGO Sets","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/gaming\/everything-in-lego-horizon-adventures-could-be-built-out-of-actual-lego-sets\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
