Interview: VGC spoke with 2K Lego Drive's producer about his ambitions for the old-school racer, including future IP collaborations and 'years of sequels'.
“Five years ago, 2k and Lego approached our studio asking what games [ we] wanted to work on,” he told VGC. “[We] pitched a number of things, but one of the things was that a core of our team has a rich arcade game driving game history.
Aiming to capture the feel of a bunch of kids pushing their cars along a playmat, in a nice touch, your transforming vehicles are completely customisable. Dive into each location’s garage, and you can build your transforming vehicle brick-by-brick, crafting all manner of weird and wonderful creations in one of the most fun and intuitive maker modes I’ve played.
While Drive’s long-term future will undoubtedly depend on its commercial success, for Pierce, Lego Drive has always been a franchise, not a one-off. “As you drift around Bricklandia’s bustling streets, swerving past mini-figures and rounding up farmyard animals in suitably silly side quests, Drive feels like a modern-made love letter to retro gaming’s pixelated past.”
Since his ‘80s racer heyday, Pierce has been working in consumer electronics designing and selling plug-and-play consoles to supermarkets and tech brands. His focus? Getting players quickly into simple and fun experiences.
