I question though what the original purpose of that Crash poster was. A planned game that was scrapped? Something created just for fun? It was apparently important enough for them to pull it from the internet after publishing it, so....dare I say we could see Crash being included in the lineup for the Core Skylanders in Swap Force?

With about 14 characters left to reveal for the Core figures, anything is possible right? Having Crash included would be something you whip out to generate a ton of hype..something like that would be perfect to show off at E3.

I've heard a couple of times that VV confirmed Crash won't be a Skylander. I don't have the source on me, but I do recall reading about it.
I doubt that said poster was related to anything but a reboot. Vicarious formerly had two multiplatform projects called Project Atlantis and Project Phoenix under construction. There was also a Project Nova which I believe was finished but I don't know which game it actually ended up being. With the similar time the poster was in the building it's more than likely that this was going to be Crash's comeback.
Man, this and Rayman getting delayed to September... February is already killing my mood...

Edit:
Project Atlantis: PS3, XBox 360
Project Nova: PS3, XBox 360, Wii U (Safe to assume that this is Swap Force?)
Project Phoenix: PS3, XBox 360, Wii
I think it's safe to say at least Phoenix is dead(ironically). I don't expect Wii support to continue beyond early, maybe mid next year, especially not for what's presumably a new game, and they can't possibly get it out that soon with literally everything of theirs being devoted to Skylanders now. The only other explanation is that these projects are just on hiatus, which would be odd, because I'd expect them to be planning everything for Skylanders 5 same as Swap Force next year.

That's not how I meant, what about upgrade paths?


I'm gonna go and guess that the special attack (the attack that the base does) won't have an upgrade path of it's own. Unless each section of the character will have it's own individual upgrade tree, but the upgrades for the base don't branch out and just have one continuous upgrade path.

Anyone notice that on the demo gameplay vid, the series 2 Eruptor they put on the portal only said 'Eruptor' and didn't state which series it was at all?

After paying close attention to the complete press presentation, I have come to some neat conclusions that seem to make a lot of sense.

First off, the jump button is indeed A (X, A, or smilie.
Second, the attacks are as follows.... X (Square, B, or Y)are the first, B (Circle, C*, or A) and the tertiary are Y (Triangle, Z*, or X)*
Third, and most odd, the swaplanders' tertiary abilities will be something that has to do with their legs...so that any swaplander with those legs can pull off that move...*(at least I think)

*I am not sure about this.....

The controls are as follows....Xbox button (Ps3, Wii, and 3ds)
Though I haven't played skylanders on a wii so idk about the attack buttons....

Could be cause its not finished. The angle I saw had the bottom cut off so it could've said it under his name.

and of course there is still 6-10 months of development left, i dont believe the demos we see now are exactly how we will see them at release.

I got curious about something. I am hoping every level doesn't have a desert feel to it, like the level in the demo. They said the game takes place on a particular island, which gives me the feeling we may be lacking in the level variety department.

Also, the last time Vicarious Visions developed a Skylanders game (not ported) they went with the concept of action over exploration, and anything you ever picked up, outside of hats, was radiance, just like N-Space traded out picking up radiance in Giants, for coins.

I am hoping the same types of objectives from Spyro's Adventure and Giants make it in there. You know, collecting Winged Sapphires, Soul Gems, Treasures, Legendary Treasures, Hats, Luck-O-Tron Wheels, Story Scrolls, etc.

For the record, they said that the story will be in the Cloudbreak islands, which means there are a lot of islands and probably every level takes place in different islands, well except probably the last levels

No, it takes place in the Cloudbreak Isles. I expect the levels to have the same amount of variety in SSA3DS. In fact, the area shown just looks like a section of the Dirt Seas to me(hence the landsharks). I really doubt the clip shows off a huge part of the Cloudbreak Isles.
Based on the fact that nothing that looks like a hub has been shown yet, and the bird that new gal has, I think that travel itself may be as large in the story as in Giants, and that we'll be "flying off" from whatever hub we do have quite a bit.

Same here. I'm wondering which characters are going to be the "Warnado, Wham shell, and Camo" t or the extremely popular characters that come last, this time around.

Wait, swapping?
Terrific. Because it wasn’t hard enough trying to keep our Skylander collection somewhat intact. The kids carry them around the house, in the van, out around the town, and we’re always misplacing them and trying to locate that special one that one of the boys needs to have. Now add in the capability to lose half a toy and all the fun that will cause. I will admit I love this idea. I’m just already preparing myself for the worst.

some details I noticed in the video:
Rollerbrawl and Countdown actually show "series 1" under their names on their load screen. so "series" is the figure iteration rather than the game iteration - so some of those "S3 reposes" may actually be "series 2"


This is always how it's been. It made no sense for the newlanders debuting in Giants to be called "series 2" when they were being released for the first time.

People forget that Skylanders are also toys/figurines.
