Does anyone know the original source of the high res version of the poster?

skylanders facebook...

https://www.facebook.com/Skyla...cation=timeline

I don't see it there?

Okay, so I was thinking how we have seen every character....and if you think about it! that doesn't really matter. We haven't seen gameplay of more than HALF of them.

EDIT: Wait...remember those villains from the achievements awhile back? Not only is the eye-hand guy missing, that ninja-bird is missing!

Swap Force on PS4 was 12-13 gigs, which differed from the 360 and PS3 versions. I attribute that to the upped resolution?

But even still, 12-13 gigs is hardly anything when these discs can be upwards of 25 gigs+.

Not alone. On the XBOX 360 the game must fit on one DVD, so it was only 7,6 gb big and there are just 3 or 4 languages on it. But on the XBOX One it was 14 GB, but i was 10 and more languages.

But I must say, what I've seen so far from Trap Team looks more as a step back as a step forward. In Swap Force we had the very big, high detailed outdoor levels with forsight and furthermore the Swap Zones. But here we've small levels like SSA or Giants with not so detailed graphics and flat textures. It looks okay, but not so good as we expact that from a game for a next generation console.

They need to let us know about what the 3ds version of the game entails. Plus have we seen the villain vault yet?

what we need to see is the menu system in the game and all it have... they are always hiding this.

This one. I'm calling him "Eye Handy" for now ;P

I actually laughed at that.

after all these videos from vloggers. why didnt anyone manage to check out the outfits, to see what is there and/or stats to see if heroics are there?...

They were probably told to back off.

like smack the fingers if touch, lol.... its typical acti holding back the important stuff we need to know.

we already know it's hats and trinkets. by the way. I think they've conceded they have enough hats and are looking at other items...There's not a concept of a "complete" outfit I 't think, although I wouldn't doubt it if they offered a hat and a number of trinkets in a "bundle" outfit.

Quote: GhostRoaster

that we pretty much know would have been anyway. but whats behind when you click on these menus we dont know...

Let's go with:
One eyed patch
Ear rings
necklaces
tattoos
etc

It would be funny if you could doll up a guy and make a girl "butch". Not that there's anything wrong with that.

and we will find these in the game or is it going to be another wallet robbing?

I'm guessing in the game, unlocked on color variant figures, purchase in the store...the usual.

When will the Frito-landers be released?

Quote: ExcitonKnight

When will the Frito-landers be released?

Someone can prob find the official statement but i'd say by mid sept at the latest.

Calling it right now that the four missing are Eon's Elite and the missing bottoms will be Kaos' Elite

They already said there are going to be eight Eon's Elite figures.

"Eon's Elite represents the most iconic characters from the original Skylanders game that started it all," said Josh Taub, senior vice president of product marketing at Activision Publishing. "These eight toys are not only premium quality but also honor the characters' strength, courage and commitment. We're excited to extend our fans' collections with this new line."

With there being two slots of two, I am calling for either a Hero/Villain category, or two new elements. 1 new core in each of those two black categories, and who knows what else goes in there.

Given the Trap Masters are broken off from the cores/minis with the blocks I'd still likely bank on only a single new element still. Two Trap Masters (broken off like all the other elements) for it as well as two cores for said element. I honestly can't think of a new elemental outside of something cheesy like dark/light or chaos(Kaos) / order, both which really are really stretching things. Dark/Light starts stepping on the toes of the idea of Dark variant Skylanders. Just about anything else steps on the toes of existing elements. I would have likely gone with Psychic or Time but Blastermind and Deja Vu kinda killed that. My only other idea would be Space(Vortex), which I mentioned long ago when the geargolems came out in Swap Force. We could get some really ALIEN looking Skylanders. Cthulhu Skylander for the Win!

Another thing to remember, is that they said there would be 60 new Skylanders to play with -

http://www.forbes.com/sites/da...ders-trap-team/

If you add up the playable Skylanders on the poster, you have 57. That includes the 2 black slots that each have two question marks. So, where do the other 3 come from? I am starting to think the Tech, Earth, and Undead elements will indeed have a repose, thus hitting that 60 mark listed in the link above.

as some of the skylanders aren't alien looking enough...

Good catch on the 60. Totally forget about most articles that far back. Though was any other source noted of using that number besides Forbes? Given it was back in April, things *could* change, though I would be inclined to agree that we'll more than likely get another repose still for the last three elements.

Not really. Most are typical anthropomorphic animals or plants, ghosts, robots, typical mythology and fantasy based creatures. We dont really have all that much in terms of xenomorph type creatues, ex: Aliens, Starcraft, Cthulhu, Men in Black, E.T., Independence Day, etc.

Yep.

And I've seen it mentioned in videos and other sites as well. However, those are just two more examples of how they were talking about having over 60 new Skylanders to collect.

Should they not have changed that, and seeing how they're still being cryptic with the poster, don't be surprised if they're trying to keep Tech, Earth, and Undead reposes a secret as well. If they advertise 60 or more, then either they can't count right, or made a serious change to the game.

since all the xenomorph more or less is horror characters except for e.t. i dont think these will be a good idea to have in a family friendly game...

Aliens and Cthulhu are really the only horror ones. The others while I cant deny being slightly scary for the younger crowd, the rest are more action movie based or general science fiction. Besides dragons are generally HUGE scary fire breathing creatures of destruction in mythology. I think we've managed to tone that down for a kids game rather well. Same thing with things like undead creatures like vampires, ghosts, and skeleton warriors. I dont think making a xeno would be a HUGE step.




As for another reason I'm going to lean towards Space(Vortex) being possible is because we have at least two Skylanders' with backhistory that makes implications of coming from space. Star Strike's story implies she was plucked from her home out in the cosmos, and Flashwing is said to have crashed into the Skylands via a shooting star.

Okay, I don't know where you got that picture, but man do those two guys look awesome.

Its a hydralisk and a protoss. Characters from the earlier mentioned Starcraft that have been "toned down" for more age appropriate viewing. Mostly to show the scary xeno aspect could fly as possible.

Its off a deviantart.com. i can link a source link when im not posting from my cell.

A space element would be rad. It'd fir right in with tech and undead as my favorite.

They did say over 60, though, without giving a definite number. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't including Eon's Elite when they said over 60. However, they very well could have. Guess we won't all know until later on. I'm still thinking there's secrets on that poster besides the "?" boxes.

here is a playthrough of the demo, there is some interesting stuff to see...

Yeah Gusto's move is the only thing new, other than VV and TfB presenting together.

Anyone know if Swappers will be able to swap in TT

yes, confirmed via gameplay (although Fire Kraken).

Havent seen these images posted on here yet. Apologizes if I missed it.

sage ich dosen't sound very pleasant x.x

Looks like the same demo my son played through at Lollibop (but in English). We also spotted Whirlwind in the game when it was supposed to be another character. Obviously a bug due to the early nature of the game. Graphically there were some issues too as Kaos face didn't look fully rendered yet in some shots.
