darkSpyro

Post your ideas/wants/wishes for the sequel here.

I'll go first:

-Difficulty Settings
-Online play (PvP)

new skylanders
new elements
new main character (crash?)
larger choice of upgrades
and a new villain

heres mine...

-online play co-op/pvp 4 player

the online should include:

online matchmaking (drop in/out for a quick game)
host your own game (and invite friends)

you can choose what char lvl you will play against/with...
you can choose what chapter you want to play

-the lvl cap is made higher
-you can use your figurines you have for skylander1 and upgrade the lvl
-there will be new figurines to buy
-you can turn 360 degree, third person and no fixed cam
-no more rubber band hold you together with other player(at least not in online play)
-this time made on the ps3/xbox/pc and higher textures then down-scaled to the wii, not like it is today when its made on the wii then up-scaled to the rest
-a proper ingame statistic page for how many hours you used on the char you played, powers, build etc
-text message (little big planet style) so you can communicate with other players while playing online
-jumping, if possible...
-treasure chest sound only activated when your close to a treasure! dont want to hear it for 30min or longer, while i hunt for hidden treasures chests .

How about you can jump freely?

I'd like it to be more of a platformer based game so you jump when you want to. I'd also want to be able to use my original collection of Skylanders and be able raise their levels higher.

A third person camera angle behind the playable character as oppose to having a isometric one and make refernces to classic Spyro (like include Hunter, Sgt. Byrd, Bently as Skylanders)

What I'd love..... In order from most wanted.

-Higher levels
-Kaos to return
-More returning characters (Elora, Bianca, Hunter & the Professor spring to mind first)
-Jumping in console versions
-New Skylanders
-Levels: Haunted level, Snow level, Magic Crafters-style level

I'd want the original Skylanders to work on it, but since the packaging on the toys say 'works with original Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure video game; sequel games may require different peripherals' I've got little hope.

Difficulty settings.
A lot more puzzles.
A new villain.
A GOOD villain.
A better plot.
A game that isn't milked.
A different game all together from the first.
More cutscenes.
More scenes on characters.
Characters need to talk OUTSIDE of gameplay.

Well I kinda hope the second one is a prequel due to some things refering to Kaos (like how they mention he's 'back' in the trailer and like, how he got banished). But a sequel would be cool too

More puzzles and challenges
The current Skylanders alongside maybe some new ones
More cutscenes where the Skylanders actually talk in their voices
New level locations
Maybe some new elements (Light, Electricity, etc.)
Maybe more then one villain
Maybe some old characters from the older spyro games returning
The ability to jump without bounce pads
Level cap higher then 10
More upgrades

Mine would be.

-Two new elements, a dark element, and a light one.
-10 new characters.
-More of a stunning look.
-Better special effects.
-More of a sweet kind of music, the one that gives you the chills.
-Plus a few plot twists.
-Also a well done main villain.

-What I don't want is an M rated skylanders game.

Agreed. You have no idea how much respect I lost for this hearing it did not have something so rudimentary.

With this addition, I suppose it would only make sense to add the fact that you can fall freely. Maybe you can't jump in Skylanders, but you can't fall to your death either.

I don't see how jumping freely ruins the game in any way. I mean, what about the Zelda games? It's just a little thing that doesn't seem to ruin gameplay in any way.

List:
Longer game (looooooool)
BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY (go read what it says on the figure package 'May not be compatible with future releases')
More characters
Higher level
Older characters returning

Graphics: Not more polygons, but a smoother look would be nice. Better adjusted colour would be nice.
Gameplay: Add jump, make game decent length
VAs: Use them.
Characters: Probably use more original characters.
Sound: Fine there.

Jump, Ripto, Elora, Bianca

Mine wünchliste

Online Battle mode.
Backwards compatibility with older figures.
Longer length.
Harder difficulty.
A way to get the game individually (without any toys).
References to older Spyro games.
Sandbox element?

To me backwards comparability is really the most important.
Jumping would be nice too.

ONLINE PVP similar to first-person-shooter or team death matches. Small maps of 2-6 players going at it as a 2-2-2 team, 3-3 team or free for all. Let us not forget a standings board or leader board.

This would keep me playing all the time and the replay value of each figure would simple triple for me.

I would be a little disappointing if a new version of this game will come out and not support the older figures. Maybe make the figures last for 2 versions of the game then move on to a new set. The 2 set backward compatibility rule will #1 make players who own the older set buy the new set and #2 make players who own the new set buy the older set of figures. This makes any set valuable to both the new players and older players.

Apart from the obvious ones like "more Skylanders", "new plot" and such, I think I've only got two wishes for an eventual sequel:

- No online play
- Heroic Challenges based on each character's backstory

New Skylander
Toys from the first game are playable for the sequel
Skylanders talk more
A concept art gallery
and More Fourthwall Breaking

I think that Crash would work well with this. But I think it should be a more crossover type game. I was thinking maybe a villian from the Skylands joins together with Uka Uka and N Tropy. Crash, his friends, and even some enimies would work together with Spyro, the Skylanders, and some old Spyro characters. It would be larger and free roaming. You could get new "upgraded" versions of the original Skylanders and use the originals. Using an original would get you an achievement. The starter pack would include Crash, Cortex, and Sergent Byrd. There would be a starter pack with and one without a portal since you might have one from the first game. It would be called Skylanders: Crash's adventure. That way kids will eaisly know it is in the same series as the other one. And it would bear the label Crash is back to break crates again! or something equally cheesy so that the kids wouldn't think that Crash is some new character.

Why no online play? It would make the Battle mode worth playing. Because I frankly haven't at all touched it.

heres mine...

-online play co-op/pvp 4 player

I'd love to be able to play the next Skylanders game through XBox Live.

Quite a few of my games can be played that way.

Because Skylanders shouldn't fall into the trap of becoming a less sociable game. Skylanders is a game to be played with (real life) friends sitting in the same room, and adding online to such a game is basically the same as assuming kids don't have real life friends (at least that's what media usually thinks of such occurrences). And giving such an impression can be deadly to a franchise like this.

Wishlist for Skylanders 2 = a sort of RPG MMO with all current generic MMO features. Some unique aspects that make it unique and still using the figures.

- Using a controller still, but having a keyboard to type.
- Not going crazy with the skills, mabey add 1-2 more per skylander but thats it
- Not too huge, just enough content to enjoy playing mulitpul characters without a grind to level each of them.

My Skylanders 2 Wishlit:


- That there is a Skylanders 2.

my skylanderwishlist is sunburn, camo and cynder.

Elora.

I also think no online play. And the characters should be able to come off of the stands and have movable joints. Also have figures for the enemies (not playable in game, just to use as a toy I don't know why Activision didn't think of that. What's the point of having good guy toys with nobody to fight. Just watch an 8-year old play Bionicle with twice the amount of good guys as bad ones.)

I'd want
- an option to place more than one character on the portal and switching them by pressing a button
- ability to jump in the console versions
- new charakters, but still can use the ones from the 1st game
- a longer storymode with more chapters
- harder boss battles
- more abilities and upgrades
- more returning charakters like Hunter
- charakters with wings should be able to fly and not only floating over the ground
- ability to block attacks

Classic/legend cameo's.

Like a poster on a wall of a character who we have not seen in a while.

Hey I just wante to chime in with the things I'd love to see in a sequel. Aside from the obvious (the ability to use existing Skylander toys in the new game), I agree with a lot of the above, but I've got some new ideas too.

The ability to get to a higher level, and add more powers.

Random Dungeon Generator - this is key to a really long lasting game. I don't want every level to be this way - as a matter of fact it should be separate from the main quest of Skylanders 2. But similar to the Vs/Battle Mode in Skylanders, there should be a Dungeon level where you can take your characters and play to build your levels up, gain money, explore, etc. It could have different settings, like size the maze, difficulty, and gameplay type. For gameplay it could be that both players must search for the exit to the Labyrinth, or perhaps the first one to find the treasure hidden in the maze wins, or it could even be used as a Vs Arena.

Along these same lines, I might suggest a level editor, where you could build your own Dungeon/Vs levels. But I'd rather have the game randomly create levels for me than spend the time building my own if given the choice.

The game could also link opening up specific "tile sets" with each character (or element), so you could choose between an underwater setting or an graveyard if you have characters from those classes. Likewise, each could also open a specific special weapon (for use only in those levels) - giving us more reasons to collect them all.

I actually don't care about the ability to jump - this is a hack'n'slash game, I'm good with those mechanics as they are. I don't really care about online play, but my son would probably enjoy being able to play with his cousin who lives far away from us. Again, linking that to the Dungeon/Vs. mode might be the best way to go, as opposed to trying to bring the whole story mode online.

Allow co-op play in the Heroic Challenges levels - as an alternate play mode.

Those are my ideas - I hope someone from Activision is paying attention.

Look, my best friend moved away and went into the Air Force.. Know how crappy it is to have us both play Skylanders but not with each other? If you don't like the online component, just ignore it. Little Big Planet didn't stop me from playing it with my boyfriend, and it also didn't stop me from hoping online and playing it with my best friend either. It's never a bad thing to have some type of online component.

-level limit is 50
-online multiplayer
-choice to have 4 player Pvp

- L:100 cap.
- Four difficulty settings, including "Nightmare Mode," along with higher experience in each advancing tier.
- Online PVP, but no voice chat, in order to shield the kiddos ears from idiots/pervs/profanity.
- Stat increases per-level besides just HP(!!)
- More balance between characters.
- More interactivity between versions; 3DS moves/items that transfer to consoles, and vice verca. Not just hats.

- And if they don't make it backwards compatible, that'll be the death of the series, but that too.

I'd like 4 player mode, more sky landers, a lot more levels, and your should be able to level up past level 10.

Nope.

If there is online play, and offline multiplayer, then it means they are catering to everyone. It's primitive to just assume people won't want online.

Online play isn't supposed to tell people gamers don't have offline friends (I hate saying "real life" friends. Online friends are real people to). It just adds convenience to the game, and makes it even more socialable.

A new villain sounds fine, but I'm actually a fan of Kaos. I'd love to see them make Kaos a Skylander (perhaps on the Dark element branch mentioned by a user above). In this way Kaos would still be in the game. Plus, his summoning powers seem well suited to being a Skylander. Would be interesting to see how they'd integrate this story-wise.

You are messed up dude. Online is supposed to make it easier to play with someone and makes battle mode more of a challenge. It gets boring playing against the same person all the time exceptionally when they are worst than you.

I wonder if the sequal will be for wii or wiiu, because The wii really has bad storage and limited online. I know it has online endless ocean, animal crossing, brawl, kart, monster hunter tri. But it really cant handle any where near as much as the ps3 and 360 so if it is still cross platform the wii may hold it back some.

I would like to see online pvp and co op
I also would not like to many more characters unless acti is going to coordinate the release of them better, maybe add 1 or 2 more element types and 1 new lander for each existing type.
it would be kind of neat if it had a dual story as well as if you could be a portal master of light and use champions, or a portal master of dark and use evil landers.

I would also like it to be more of an adventure game like a legend of zelda, with more exploration and actual side missions , just stuff to add more replay and depth to the game.

Original Skylanders must work in the game or there will be hell to pay. It would be nice if they could retain their progress as well.

It has to be way more challenging.

Old Spyro characters reappearing,
A way to change difficaulty,
New characters,
New elements,
More abilities,
Online,
4 player,
Being able to use figures from Skylanders (1),
and NO MORE ENEMY GOALS!!!

Also, NO MORE LOCK PUZZLES. Caps for emphasis. They were slow and tiresome even when run perfectly, locked the second player out, and disrupted the flow of every level they were included in. The other puzzling segments were fine; in fact, I'd add to those, but the lock puzzles ruin certain levels to the point of unplayability, and must go.

New Skylanders
Have a wider distribution of toys, meaning more stores would stock them (Not just Wal-mart, Ebgames, Toys R Us, and the other few that stock them)
if they do another 3DS game, make it so you can erase character data without having to buy the console version
if they do another 3DS game, have more levels, and put a boss at the end of each world.
Not have certain toys exclusive to certain stores.

I honestly wouldn't mind if the sequel wasn't backwards compatible with the old figures, and they probably won't be. It would hurt the toy sales of new figures if people weren't trying to get one of each element.

wifi xboxlive and playstation network

new elaments

more dark and legendary charecters

I would like the things I already detailed in the other thread.
