  • Have you ever wondered why there are no GOOD official Doctor Who video games? If so, have you also ever wondered if there was maybe at least ONE good Doctor Who game that was somehow lost? Maybe even lost INSIDE another game? Well for all 15 of you who have ever thought that, you're in luck because in this video, I bring to light the BEST Doctor Who video game you can play... Except it's stuck inside another game.
    YES I know I’m talking about yet another LEGO game, but I find the concept of LEGO Dimensions to be quite fascinating. On top of that, the fact that many people love the Doctor Who portion of the game is super interesting, so I’m diving in and doing a retrospective/analysis/video essay on the topic!

    06:51 - It's kinda hard to play it now
    09:27 - L**O Doctor Who

    Two points of clarification:
    1. I am not British and am in fact an American, it has been brought to my attention that the joke was a little too subtle.
    2. The Doctor Who TV show itself ended in 1989. But in 1996, they attempted to revive the IP with a Hollywood film, but it didn’t succeed so it stayed “dead” until 2005. I said the show ended in 1996, as I was referring to the last bit of ‘Classic Who’ content with the McGann film. I felt it wasn’t necessary to explain that in the video, but again it was brought to my attention that it may have been misleading so here we are.
    But thank you all for over 200k views, this is incredible and I’m so glad everyone is enjoying it!
    Edit: 200k now not 100k what the heck

    The problem with Doctor Who games is always the Doctor himself. If you play as the companion, you're not the star of the story, which feels bad. If you play as the Doctor, you're playing a character who's main ability is being smarter and more knowledgeable than everyone around them, which is a lot harder to make a game out of than some guy who shoots lasers out of his hands or can teleport.

    If you liked this, I think you'd also enjoy a mod based around Doctor Who. For Fallout New Vegas is Fallout Who Vegas, a fun mod with a story about your character inheriting the Doctor's TARDIS through a bootstrap paradox after they died for good on Trenzalore, following an alternate timeline to the show. The TARDIS is partly a player home and partly a replacement for fast travel. It has new skills, one of which is a TARDIS piloting skill to unlock new features of the TARDIS, lots of new locations, you can pick basically any of the Doctor's TARDIS interiors with an exterior to match, you can use the crafting system with high science and medicine skills to become a Time Lord, and you can get different looks for the sonic screwdriver and each Doctor's outfit by finding hypercubes of their memories scattered around the mod areas. It's a very good mod, highly recommend, especially with Xoanon's patches and additions for it.

    We were just big fans of the show! :)
    Fun fact, the artists went wild and built EVERY console room variation...more than we had Doctors for. For the most part I could link the console room to the incarnation of the Doctor you are currently using, but that left one spare. So if you play as Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor, if the day of the month is a multiple of 4, you get the wooden Secondary Console Room instead.
    Also...if you wanna milk the game for everything it has, there is a purple stud hidden in the back right corridor out of Capaldi's console room - it's a dead end but you can jump to collect it. That purple stud respawns every time you re-enter the TARDIS ;) Have fun...

    My favourite dialogue from this game is the reactions you get from The Doctor and Doc Brown, when they enter each other’s time vehicles:
    Doc Brown in the TARDIS:
    “You really should have listened to me when I said ‘If you're gonna build a time machine, do it with some style!’”
    The Doctor (12) in the DeLorean:
    “I could save the Universe three times over before this 'baby' hits 88 miles per hour! Quickly! Back to the TARDIS!”

    The problem is that I don't think we will ever get a proper Doctor Who videogame ever again. the Doctor Who Adventure games is the closest thing we will ever have to a good game that works with the tone and style of Doctor Who. The problem is that it is really damn hard to even find. But I really do think an actual stand-alone LEGO Doctor Who game would be fantastic, especially with how they are doing lego games now, it would be even better than before.

    P.S.... ALL of the Doctor Who content in Lego Dimensions is pretty great. Likely, there wasn't enough time for you to do a playthrough as in depth as possible with that game. Lots of levels have a TARDIS port and most of them relate in some way to the level they appear in. In the Simpsons level of the main game, you can find a port that takes you back in time to another cartoon, The Flintstones. In fact, it's been so long since I played the game... The only other notable example I can think of, is the port found in one of the "Fantastic Beasts..." levels which leads to the 2010s version of the Britcom "Red Dwarf." Lego Dimensions' gameplay was probably over-simplistic, but the digital artistry on display was excellent. Also, Dimensions is the only "Toys to Life" title where playing with the toys was integrated into the game. You move pieces around the game pad to solve puzzles and escape traps and whenever you upgrade vehicles to a different form, a book of building instructions appears and you can actively build the new one.
    It's really sad the TTL fad burned out so furiously. This game was truly special.

    The other great thing about the Tardis is the game was it worked in other levels and added Easter Eggs to The Simpsons level as you could find a Tardis pad and go backwards in time and it would be a Flintstones homage. Go forward in time and you would be in a Jettsons area. There is also a Red Dwarf area you can visit using the Tardis but can’t remember where that one is.
    They should release it without the figures and just have access to every character and slightly rework the pad mechanics and it would probably sell quite well but they probably have lost access to some of the licenses.

    I do really hope that some day they make a standalone lego doctor who game. It's really hard to go wrong with lego games since most have so much love and care put into them, you can tell the devs are just as much of nerds about any given series as the fans are.

    I really miss this game. I had collected every expansion set for it. But sadly I gave up trying to beat it because the character tags kept dying on me and making them unusable. I really wish they’d rerelease it digitally on steam. I’d gladly rebuy it all again just to be able to play it on my pc.

    The doctor was the goat in both gameplay and story, he is the one to put away the main bad guy during the main story and he has so many abilities all rolled up into one minifigure, he really saved you some money so you don't have to go buy other characters. i also love the crossover aspect of this game, having the Doctor interacting with characters that he would have never met otherwise, like in the main story where the Doctor shares a small dialogue with Glados from Portal.

  • @algernon7272

    I've been thinking of how Doctor Who as a franchise could be incorporated into a game. I'm thinking it would play out like a cross between Fallout and No Man's Sky (Not with infinite rng planets of course) each planet would have it's own past, present, and future.
    You can pick up certain quests along your mainline quests, which involve solving puzzles through time travel. Like one quest there could be an old woman laments to you, that she lost her childhood pendant given to her by her mom before she died, then you can go back in time to when she lost it. Then you can either give it to her in the past or the present, and the reward is different. Maybe if you give it to her in the past, he life is different and while she doesn't remember even talking to you about it, she mentions that your the person who returned it to her all those years ago.
    The main thing is, I'd want to incorporate regeneration into the game, which makes me skeptical if it should be The Doctor. Either it could be a Doctor from another universe, or just some other Time Lord. You can customize your Time Lord, but that Time Lord will be lost if you die, and you regenerate, and your new Doctor's look, gender, race, and personality is randomized. Of course if you want to bring YOUR Doctor to the end, you could play the game super safely or save scum, but regeneration leads to your Time Lord having different skills and weaknesses, kind of like the game Rogue Legacy.
    Also like Fallout, and Elder Scrolls, you can pick up certain companions along the way, who can help you out and change the story depending on their history and background, so someone in the medical field could help out when your trying to save someone who is sick or injured, and someone who has an engineering background can help with broken technology.
    I don't know what that would take developer wise, I just know it'd probably be a pain in the ass to make, but I feel like if people wanted a Doctor Who video game, that's the best way it could be done.

The same reason that Top Gear is not available on any streaming service. If you're going to lie next time make sure the facts support your lies

    I honestly think the best way to do a doctor who game would be a shorter vr game with the weeping angels. And if it used the eye tracking of the Psvr 2 or some other vrs you could utilise some great horror features. Especially since that way it would be entertaining even if you played as a companion (as that would be the only way a dw game would work well)
