  • WBD reported in August 2024 that it had lost $10 billion in the second quarter of 2024, relating to continued losses from its direct-to-consumer segment and the devaluation of its linear TV assets.

    As these are based of the films as much as the books I think they probably have a favorable licensing deal compared with the other licensed Traveller’s Tales Lego games.

    The other franchise that might compete is Lego Batman but for that the one the series was released between 2008 and 2018 (i.e. spanning PS2, PS3, and PS4) and it would take a full rebuild of the earlier titles to bring them up to a consistent standard. Probably more effort than they want to spend on a cheap cash grab.













  • I had a play today and the standout changes are:

    • it offers a choice between remixed audio or a recording from the devices used to author the original midi tracks (Probably some Roland device). The menus offering this choice included a preview that sounded pretty good so I picked the remix.
    • it offers a choice between 1x, 2x, etc, or maximum scaling over or original resolution. For lots of retro games I find 2x to be the best balance as it allows a small visual improvement for the 3d elements without adding too much clash between any fixed 2d sprites. Despite my usual preferences I found this worked pretty well at maximum so I left it there.
