Topic: Disney Infinity

I wasn't doubting that it won't sell well, I was/am doubting that it will be any good.

The only thing that really bothers me about the layout are the tokens. I don't like the idea of having to take off the character on top of them and I also think that could be a bit wobbly. (Though I do think that getting to use a cast of abilities on all your characters is cooler than just buying upgrades...)

Good as what? A game? Who cares? It's the toys that are important.

So guys, anyone else watch the press conference for the game? Have a look. I don't remember at which point it does begin, but when they show off all the gameplay, it looks really cool and does a better job than the trailer in convincing you. It looks like this game is going to have a load of stuff to do in each playset. Heck, I'm sold because I get to play as Ralph outside of that okay sidescroller, but the fact the rest of the game is looking so great is really making me genuinely excited for this(but I'm still a bit cautious because Spyro's Kingdom AKA Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure was nothing but a short, plain disappointment).

I saw the trailer for this yesterday, my dad showed me it. It looks neat. The scheme does seem similar to that of Skylanders. I did see some pretty Disney character choices: Jack from Pirates of the Carribean, Sullen from Monsters Inc., Mr. Incredible from the Incredibles, Buzz and Woody from Toy Story, and even Ralph from Wreck-It-Ralph (Yes!) I'll look forward to this!

I analysed the trailer quite well. And I found that in 1:51 (Post 1) and in 25:00 (Post 27) shows a screen that looks like something you would see from Tron. That seems interesting.

at 41:39 Bowser's Castle!

i pre ordred the starter pack for wii u plus every figure thats up for pre order so i got 10 figures coming in june =D

it looks so much better than skylanders all the sky landers toys add is a charicter but from what i hear the Disney ones adds up 6 hours of new story plus a ton of other things below is some gamplay from each of the first 3 playsets they should damn well have frozone in there haha

If that's true,the toys are worth it.

For those of you interested in the game, a Skylanders collector has made a Disney Infinity discussion forum/site. I already joined, and if you haven't already and are looking forward to the game, I would recommend that you keep an eye on that place.

I find this really fascinating, and if I had a fat wallet I'd probably buy it, AND I have no doubt this will be a huge success, assuming they do it right. BUT this entire thing just screams cash cow. But hey, the point of a business is to make money, so what can I say.

Good news, everybody(actually interested in the game)! The owner of the fan forum went to the actual conference if I believe right and he confirmed this-

each play set will have 1 location piece and 2 characters.

I really need to stop making myself so excited for this game. I mean, it could potentially be just mediocre like Spyro's Adventure was. D:

I don't see Kermit in the image. I can see Bolt though.

Edit: Nevermind, I see him!

Uh.. graphics are pretty terrible. Doesnt look like they put too much work into this. Captain jack sparrow looks pretty lamely designed, and sulley barely looks like sulley! Cmon..

I was excited about this game until they announce the yearly installments. Why can't one of these toy games just expand the game using the toys themselves? (I know the answer... MONEY) This is why I haven't gotten Skylanders Giants yet, I still need to buy all the characters from the first and buy the Giants game and then finally the Giants themselves.

Why would you buy ALL the characters?

Because I do like collecting them. It has just gotten out of hand with what they expect me to pay for, especially with the newest Skylanders game they just announced.

People like yourself collecting every single one gives the company more reason to keep pumping out new ones So I wouldn't say they are expecting you to buy them all, because it isn't a requirement to enjoy the games.

Because everything each toy unlocks is on-disc. The figures don't work as DLC as people keep saying. They simply command the game names like "Character_Sprocket" or "Location_Darklight" and take actions based on what's being read. They work as keys. If they wanted to do that, they would either need to make a ridiculously massive amount of content on it preemptively, or make proper online DLC which can be enabled with figures(which would strip away part of the gimmick and annoy any customers that don't know about/don't have access to DLC). I don't think that it's impossible, though, I have no idea about coding, but I think that there would be a new Adventure Pack or two for Giants if they could. Either that or everyone's just being greedy and not choosing to because they can simply sell more games like that.
