8 Things We Want To See From Lego Marvel Super Heroes

2. Silent Cutscenes

Lego Marvel Superheroes Cutscene The gameplay footage and promotional interviews for Lego Marvel Super Heroes that we've already seen have revealed that the game will include dialogue in its cutscenes but, regardless of that, I still consider this a valid thing to have wanted from the game. When I saw the trailers for Lego Batman 2, this was the most disappointing thing to me. From humble beginnings with Lego Star Wars, one of the series€™ best features was that, apart from sound effects, the cutscenes were mute. It countered the laborious task of scripting dialogue and casting voice actors, and probably saved a bit of money as well. But it was also symbolic of the simplicity of the games. These games are intended for the entire spectrum of players. Including children. A child under the age of ten probably won€™t be interested in Wolverine and Cyclops firing snappy one-liners at each other like in the X-Men films. They want humour that they can instantly understand. And the most universal form of humour is slapstick. Plus the slapstick was always much funnier than the dialogue anyway.
