Well, I'm not really impressed with this game after seeing more level footage so it's not much coming from me. And yes, I know about skipping his dialogue, it's actually that you can skip it after you've heard the specific line during your play session (like if he mentions Time Attack and he says it again, then you can skip it).

Would someone mind asking if they know wether Survival Mode is in/how many levels it has? I can't because I have no Instagram account.

WHUT.

Oh my Kingdoms...

Yep here is where I avoid the forum and wow I'm green sparx now. How time flies.

...Welp, I'm out before this place becomes a spoiler minefield!

If portalpowertv keeps posting spoilerific clips like this, it's very likely he'll share a similar fate like that instagram user who nearly posted the entire game of Pokemon X that he bought days before its public release.

Instagram account removed, legal trouble, reputation butchered, any potential jobs he has will be notified of his deeds by the game company. Poor guy.

Lucky and he won't even show gameplay of all of it.

So did anyone film gameplay of older characters?

It's even more relevant than last page.
C'mon monday just arrive already. As I said, will still be around on Discussion and the odd thread but it'll be easier to find me grinding in Flight Rising this week. Or playing Super Metroid, that game is humiliating my short attention span and I love it.
News tho? Instagram unfortunately shows up on Google. It's done for me, I loved doing it this year and I'm happy news thread went smoothly, but blind playthrough needs to be blind.

If I didn't have to wait util christmas for this game, I would avoid spoilers. But since I do, there's no way to avoid spoilers and still be active.

Also, apparently Disney thought that making Arrowanna Mall in Infinity for a cheap Splatoon reference(or ripoff since it's after an existing level and not exactly lawyer friendly) is totally fine and not going to get them sued.

C'mon, even for those that don't like the Mario Kart aspect of SC, at least VV TRIED to make it sorta new and fresh.

Ok, back on topic of the game; should there be a spoiler safe thread once the game is out? I mean, it's fine to post them here now where it's one line or a small paragraph, but once the speculation starts becoming entire posts, maybe separating the two would be a better idea?

Unless we have a thread for spoiler-free reviewing,of course, to convince people to get the game without mentioning anything juicy.

I concur with Bifrost's suggestion. I'm not getting the game till Black Friday, and I don't want this to end up like Giants where I already knew the story a month before I got the game (I got it when the Wii U came out). There should be one more thread here in the Stickies, labelled "Superchargers Spoiler Discussion Thread", or something along those lines. It would make it convenient for many people who aren't getting Superchargers day one.

I agree with both of you, I'm not getting the game until two weeks after it's release date, and I'd like somewhere to talk about the 3DS version at least.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the upgrade that turns Spitfire red is the Flamenado upgrade path, so it's an optional thing if you wanna keep him blue.

Thank god! Now i know which path I'm going to choose.

Would these be considered newsworthy? Seeing as we know most of them already, I don't really think I should post them on the News topic. Want to make sure. Anyway, tumblr user Goth-Dicax has taken screenshots of the starter characters' upgrades. I'll refrain from posting the user's page itself, as there's little bits of NSFW that Goth has reblogged. The user writes,


But if anyone wants pictures, here you are. Just promise me you won't go off sightseeing, okay? Be careful.
EDIT: Forgot about these.

Spoilers just in case those abilities mean anything special to you! Fourth times the charm.

Oh man that's a forced reference. Well, at least ability spoilers are a-ok for me, since it's going to be visible the first second I enter that menu anyway - during SSA maybe it'd be harder to figure out but it's been a long time.

While on the topic of that Mr. Leaks-A-Lot Instagram user, I've seen a real interesting level reach the surface. Story-wise. Literally story-wise. That is all, just wanted to get that out there. If you've seen it already, you already know what I mean. I don't want to spam this page with spoiler tags anymore times than I have to.

Just keep the juicy bits inside the tag. But yeah,the levels were all spoiled in the Achievement List leak, so much I ended up spoiling myself on a few(thankfully harmless) names because the list with pictures is out of order.

Hrm. Alright. It revolves around lore, Bifrost. So, if my lurker knowledge is correct, you'll be pleased. I'll keep it hidden for you, Drek, and the blindfolded others, though. We may just see more of this story in the cinematic trailer tomorrow, anyway.

I have a question, whose gameplay have we not seen yet?

Astroblast and Smash Hit. Thrillipede and High Volt showed up yesterday,but Smash Hit had like 3 seconds of footage and I haven't seen Astroblast outside a vehicle in anything.

I'm not going with the Flamenado path lol. I hope I like the Dash Path because I do NOT want him Orange.

How did someone get the game early!? Thats awesome

Reviewers for the press got the game early, I think. Otherwise they're just high-upper Portal Masters who get special treats from Acti. Don't think that's the case, however.

They found it at Costco in Canada... Hmm... I have a Costco....

Wait when did we see High Volt?

I don't think YTers would get it THAT early, though. Iiirc they got it one day before launch at the most in Trap Team's case.

High Volt was in the TRU event videos,someone got his soul gem.

I agree with Bifrost. Let's create a spoiler-free Topic to talk about the game. People like me can't play the game in the launch, but these people want to talk about the game. I just starting to have fear of entering this Topic.

I was thinking more of 'keep this place with minimal spoilers, open new one about story dicussion' than create two separate.

So, is co-op tethered together like in previous games, or does it splitscreen as the Skylanders move apart?

Mind linking the Soul Gem video?

News thread, pretty sure it's the last post, maybe.

DeadPortal, I'm pretty sure at least two people answered you previously in this thread. No split screen except on racing.

Yeah I found it.

Ugh this game looks incredible.

Thanks!

I cant wait to see how the dragons look on that thing.

What if the cinematic trailer turns out to be the same trailer we saw on Vimeo?

You mean the noodle one? Probably not.

I mean, think about it. The trailer hasn't been posted on the SkylandersGame channel yet. It's likely it's this "cinematic trailer".

If it's not, I'll be surprised.

Yeah,the Maggi ad was using Wii graphics when you compare to Overview,and had things already shown in that one as well. The article implied it'll hint towards the darker aspects of the story, not 30 seconds of Kaos saying what we already know.

A cinematic trailer usually tends to focus on, well, the cinematic story of a game. That trailer was pretty much just gameplay with 10 seconds of Kaos gloating. And as Bifrost said, it obviously was using Wii graphics, and might have been from a very early build of the game.

No more darkspyro for me for a while.

I got the DK and Bowser comic at gamestop today. Thy gave it to me when I purchased a figure.

Wait what? That's supposedly Issue 4 of the series, and it'd come out with preorders!

So is the comic preorder or is it not? Many users are saying different things.

Well, one source says Eon and the other says Mags,oh well. Though bribing Bowser with a vehicle still sounds too below him.

Okay, so, pertaining to the.... training dummies... how many can you have active at once? (tried to say that in a non-spoiler way)

I wouldn't say it's a spoiler. Doesn't affect the story or anything.
Anyway, I think either 3 or 6
And

Aww, man! I was hoping for like 20+ so I can actually practice against a good number. Even 6 is too few.

It was Mags that summoned them to skylands. It was supposed to just go through the Skylands but it traveled across worlds.

They didn't have elements, they found to rift engines and touched them, it assigned them life and fire.

I will post more in a bit.

They were attacked by someone named "Captain Blubberbeard" and he has a band of pirate greebles (at least they look like greebles). They were actually the purple enemies you fight in Rainfish Riviera.

The pirates actually had just robbed the academy, Eruptor and Roller Brawl were chasing them.

The rift engines seem to have some sentience to them, they recognized who touched them.

Bowser doesn't want to help, Buzz has to bribe them with vehicles.

DK doesn't speak, he just grunts.
