They didn't do it because it would be a good game.

We aren't allowed to have good ATLA games.

Good point

Fortnite will forever remain as the best ATLA game.

Fortnite will also be the best AoT game. Honestly idk why/how fortnite can do justice for all these collabs, and other studios fail so hard

I love how Fortnite has become more of a game engine than a game, lol. I'd imagine that has to do with why they can put more time into collab character mechanics, since they don't have to do as much groundwork anymore. 🤔

u/Ok-Suggestion-5453 avatar

Always has been. Fortnite's Battle Royale mode was just a cheap copy of PUBG they made to save their very unsuccessful zombie survival game.

thats exactly what Tim Sweeney wants to happen, he wants fortnite to become the Metaverse like the Oasis in Ready Player One, thats why they're so focused on collabs and why they gave players the tools to make their own shit, because they want fortnite to become an actual gaming platform where you can hop on, play battle royale or play one of their other game modes or even play an entirely different game inside fortnite itself that was made by someone else

Fortnite IMO is just one big advertisement for the various companies featured in it and UE5. Not to say that that's a bad thing.

Yeah. As great as the collab looked I would hate for them to just announce "the next Avatar game will be made in Unreal Engine 4."

Whoaaaaa let’s not disrespect those PS4 AoT games those are fun as hell

i have it and it is very fun

There are a lot of roblox AOT games that you'd be surprised how it isn't considered a game of its own.

Roblox is also super impressive too. My friend showed me a COD knockoff and i was surprised with how smooth the animations were lol

Excuse me, the AoT games are dummy good.

I thought final battle was good

The attack on titan game was pretty sick, I thought

it isss

Idk, AoT tribute game was my shit in middle school

u/Dragonkingofthestars avatar

I loved the attack on titan games! First one had SHIT pc controls but second fixed it and it's Iike edge spider man!

Repetitive but Repetitive the way a hoard shooter or 4 player could op can be: can still be fun even if Repetitive

i thought the bending was sooo much fun tbh the air bending and earth bending especially

u/BrokkrBadger avatar

unironically true
WELL we do have RUMBLE VR but that does everything it can to distance itself from ATLA and is just earth bending.

I think your point stands

Nick all star brawl

u/avert_ye_eyes avatar

I'm wondering if Fortnite ATLA popularity will finally put a fire under their ass, and realize just how huge it could be in other venues. I knew so many people that hadn't played in years, and hopped on to buy the skins and play.

I still dream of an A:tLA game made by Rockstar Games....a sort of amalgamation of RDR2 & Breath Of The Wild. That would be generational greatness

Who know maybe that fan made avatar game being developed in dreams playstation might be great.

More replies

The Legend Of Korra game is good. But it's painfully average too.

u/rathat avatar

Yeah, I had fun with it, worth it if you’re a fan and it’s on sale.

Unfortunately. The game was removed due to licensing issues.

u/falseallegation avatar

on sale? the game cost like $500 now in the least

The pro-bending was super fun, I wish they'd make a full 3v3 online version.

More replies

How did they get Platinum Games onboard with making a Korra game and then make it so damn bland? It could've been amazing in their hands but I'm guessing they just didn't want to give them the budget to make it as good as their other titles.

Only thing I remember from the Xbox 360 ATLA game is getting 1000gs for completing all the achievements in like 5 minutes of play time.

u/Vesemir96 avatar

The Korra game is g solid. Platinum did great in the budget they were given, and said they’d love to make a full fledged sequel after proving to Nick that it worked well with the first game.

Budget and the time likely

u/VivaDeAsap avatar

There’s gonna be a roblox one.

Never played roblox so idk if it’ll be good tho

Nah nah nah there was a Roblox avatar game. And it was SO good.

Like almost every world building piece you can imagine was built into it, and you could get sky bison and dragons and boats and gigantic ships and sub bending and chi blocking etc etc. You could even get badgermoles as pets.

But then it disappeared one day. I looked up why, and IT GOT COPYRIGHT CLAIMED.

This is how I know that the “official” one they make is gonna be trash. They always are.

More replies

At least we’ve got Wizard of Legend!

There's actually one on GBA that's pretty good. It is a carbon copy of a zelda game, but both aesthetically and gameplay-wise I have heard only good about it. It isn't cannon though

Literally just googled this game to comment about it. The plot wasn’t 100% accurate, but the gameplay was really good for a gba avatar game! I vividly remember the boomerang and ice path puzzles being super fun

u/Sting_the_Cat avatar

I had one on GameCube. Can't remember if it was a good game, but I remember it having decent writing, and I enjoyed it

No. They wouldn’t do it because they won’t profit from it. There always a greedy middle ground…also, ATLA is licensed by Nickolean, not by WB, Disney or even CBS…

If it didn’t put Avatar Studios at risk, this is a huge reason why I’d want to Sony purchase of Paramount to go through. A good Avatar game would be huge.

It's the curse of having one of the best TV shows ever made.

XD yes

u/JK_Goldin avatar

This comment makes me tear bend 😢

Quest for Balance has the old OG LEGO Star Wars style camera.

My wife and I love that game. It is awful

As evidenced by when they forced the amazing Roblox ATLA game to go down.

To be fair i did have a book 2 tie in game that i loved as a kid. Its probably not great but at least rhere is one atla game i remember fondly

I only ever played one ATLA game and it was on the Nintendo DS….. I loved it.

u/Legal_Specific_7255 avatar

Legend of Korra on Ps4 is pretty good.

More replies
Edited

They did have a couple of Lego sets, but they weren't very good.

They could do a much better job now with all the new parts

Edit: spelling

u/Deathaster avatar

"A couple" is good :P They had exactly two, as part of a test to see if they'd get turned into a series. They lost to Spongebob.

Honestly, good riddance. The only minifigure that actually looked good was Aang, the Firebender and the custom Momo piece: https://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender

u/JeffCaven avatar

That literally is the definition of couple :P

The Air Temple looks really bad but Zuko's ship doesn't look bad, it has that classic 2000's Lego feel to how blocky everything is.

u/Deathaster avatar

I think the ship looks far too much like an amateur build. If they wanted to go for a simplistic, blockier design, it should have been even smaller. I actually think the temple works better.

Damn they did katara dirty lol

u/Deathaster avatar

You mean Blue Eyes White Dragon? At least she got hair, unlike Sokka and Zuko. Couldn't even put a single stud on top, tsk tsk.

she's in the avatar state

What did they do to sokka and katara😭

More replies

Why would they need to do a much better job if they already were very good?

u/NitroPuncher avatar

apparently the sets kinda sucked so they probably meant weren't

u/lord_flamebottom avatar

They weren't that bad. The issue was that it was part of a test line for Nick, they put out LEGO sets for their two biggest (at the time) properties and would only continue with whichever one sold better.

Well, the other one was Spongebob.

More replies

Most likely a typo, and they meant to say weren't

‘Very good’ is always relative to time of release. Also, they aren’t available anymore, so new sets would be much more accessible

More replies

2 Lego sets 15 years ago is hardly even a try

u/lord_flamebottom avatar

They were part of a test run for a couple of LEGO Nick properties, and the most successful would get a full line. Problem is, the one ATLA was competing against was Spongebob.

More replies

Lego seems to play it extremely safe with what IP they choose to work with and I think its now clear Avatar is as popular as some of those other brands. Plus they already made updated minifigs for the characters in Fortnite.

I really want a well made Appa set with figs of Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Suki, Zuko, and Iroh. They probably wouldn't include that many characters in 1 set though so maybe they could do another with Zuko, Iroh, and Azula.

But sets take time so if they aren't already planning something we probably won't see anything. LEGO aren't reactive, they predict. But, knowing the live action is bringing back interests and knowledge of whatever avatar studios are planning they could be doing something.

I'd ask my contacts in the Lego company but even if they knew they wouldn't tell me

Yeah I know I imagine if they made a set anytime soon (within the next 3 years) itd probably be around the time the movie comes out

They should try this series of sets again. The show is much more popular than it was when those sets released.

Yeah, Avatar is the one franchise that would fit so well into the TT LEGO game formula other than like, Ninjago for obvious reasons

I mean we did get multiple lego Ninjago games.

Shadow of Ronin was.. alright I guess.

The movie game was very fun though.

The first one isn't an adaptation and the second one is just the movie

Not all lego games are adaptations for example: The lego batman trilogy, dc super vilians, lego marvel superheroes 1 & 2 (not avengers) and lego city undercover

Yeah but in the context of Avatar it'd definitely work best as an adaptation and when bringing up Ninjago I meant the same for it

yeah all the lego games have very clear inspiration, such as the tim burton movies and BTAS for lego batman one, but very few of the games are 1:1 reenactments

I find it funny that half the characters in the game were actually from the show

Really wish we had a game based on the show similar to Lego Avengers
