Disney Infinity

[Jedward]

Officially revealed/announced today (see Polygon article here):



Think Skylanders with all the Disney/Pixar magic you love.

I'm dead. Everything is dead. My wallet is dead.

Dead.

[Ryukiroku]

Ow, my wallet.

[MasPan]

Skylanders pissed me off as it is. This is just disgusting.

[MetaSeraphim]

I don't enjoy Skylanders, but I love Disney and Pixar. And that little intro was awesome. But the idea of having to buy bonus characters and worlds.


So confused.

[Kirov]

Just wait till they add Marvel and Star Wars.

[Seanny]

Playable Violet? ; _ ; I loved that character.

UGH if they add Aladdin I'm friggin toast.

Crap crap crap I do not wanna fall for this. But its hitting me in my childhood and it needs to stop.

[FlameChocobo]

First it's Nexon, now it's Activision (AKA their release of Sky Landers) and now this?

[Jedward]

Disney showed Power Discs today for Aladdin, Mickey Mouse, Brave, Bolt, Frankenweenie, Tangled, Kermit the Frog, Finding Nemo, Dumbo, Cinderella, Peter Pan and Tron: Uprising.

first one on the list

Can someone explain the mechanics of these knd of games?. Is it like, you buy the game and get only x# of characters, but if you buy other toy figures you can scan them and unlock those characters in your game? Thats the idea I got from Skylanders

And Disney is smart. While in Skylanders the only character thats known is Spiro (I believe), each of these characters is well known and have their own fans. That will call for bigger sales no doubt. For example, If I ever got this game and they released a Mufasa doll, I'd get it inmediately.

Got to: "Disney Infinity brings physical toys" before I closed the tab.

Was Skylanders really that much of a success? I thought people figured out the scam in time...

Although I personally hated the IP (but never played it, so I'm just hating here), Skylanders was met with positive reviews.

Reviews are not what I meant by "the scam." Just the fact that you need to pay more than a Nexon game to play all of it. Yes, an exaggeration, but my point is clear.

[Chew]

I'm not sure what am I looking at.
Never payed attention to Skylanders.

Nope. You can change character whenever you want by putting the toy on a platform.

My 6 year old son loves Skylanders. It is not half as much of a scam as you'd think because the figures work well as physical toys, and they are not unreasonably priced compared to most action figures. I don't think it is comparable to Capcons DLC scumbag tactics or anything like that. Not to mention that they actually took the time and effort to dub the entire game to swedish, which almost never happens.
Skylanders Giants is one of the best kids game I've seen in a long time.

As for this Disney thing? If the characters will stay looking that unrefined and sloppy it will be annoying having to look at TV trailers all the time.

I can understand that. I never really thought of it that way to be honest.
