Guys, a light and a dark Giant wouldn't make sense at all. Neither would light and dark Swappers. They are NEW elements brought about by the destruction of the prison. The giants, swap force, core of light, it's all BEFORE the light and dark el mentioned existed. They mention the power of light and dark as a force of power if you will, not the elements. That'd be like saying the giants all had 3 elements each, light, dark, and whatever actual element they are.

As for on topic of what I think will be in the next game, I honestly can't say. We can anticipate a new gimmick. As mentioned else where though, I could see the possibility of a portal owners pack being a thing again, which would be really nice. And I think we can all agree that we'd like a new villain instead of Kaos. He's trapped, so it's a perfect segue into someone else trying to take over Skylands. But, know this series so far, he will escape somehow. Who knows. I just know I'm excited to see what's next, which we will probably learn between February and April.

Nope read the bios. The light and darks were here before SSA. The destruction of the core of light banished them. I think a lot of people didn't see this so I can't blame you for the confusion. So yes indeed light and dark Giants and swappers would make sence.

Which bios? Now I'm curious to read it.

I hate to say it, buy I think this maybe the last game. I cannot imagine them being able to make more than 5 games and I will understand if they have to end it after the fifth title.

A time travel mechanic could work. You could have a past and present. The new skylanders could be like cores with a time freeze mechanic for £8 but have 40 of them (just like the original games but 8 extra for light and dark) so they could make as much money. Have a giant and two swappers for the new element. Maybe have a two minis and a series 2 per element. There would be a giant and two swappers for the dark and light elements (the swappers would be able to swap with the ones from ssf).

The plot could be that Kaos has traveled back in time, changed important events that influenced Skylands, found new villians and spread them across time. The time skylanders protected the many artefacts that could be used for time travel. When Kaos ceased one, he traveled back but they are only supposed to be used for good so it caused a blast which sent the skylanders to earth. The present levels could be about finding out when and where you need to travel back to and the past is where you fix the mayhem he caused.

The time freeze would be used in the present a lot more than the past and the past levels would include giant areas, swap zones, dual elemental gates, trap master elemental gates and areas blocked by traptanium. The present levels would sell the new cores a lot more and the past ones would be a nice feature for fans from the early games and would get rid of those annoying old figures no one wants at the moment which take up space on shelves.

There would be a starter pack with an earth time skylander, a dark giant and a light swapper. There would a portal owners pack for people with the traptanium portal with same earth time skylander but it has a light giant and dark swapper (it was annoying when we only got Tree Rex in giants). The giant and swapper in the packs would all be available in single packs except the earth one. The 3DS would the earth one and another time skylander.

Does anyone else think this would be good?

This is what I thought but add a level cap of 25, bring PVP back and some online PVP with the ability to turn off the chat just incase some people decide to swear.

Racing would be a side activity, vehicles would be for combat and transportation to elemental based areas. Combat Ala the batmobile in arkham knight, not overhead. Undead and water would use boats, picture ocean and river styx. Air and magic would be aircraft, life and earth would be automobiles on roads and tech and fire would be all terrain tank like vehicles. I just took the vehicle rumor from last year and ran with it. Kids would love the vehicles, adults would love the open world and both would love online Co op and pvp. I agree, it can't be Mario kart, it needs the diablo for kids gameplay.

I think using armor and vehicles would remove you from the skylanders and make it no different than the other million war/battle games that are out there. I could see a racing mini game somehow, would have to tie into something similar to how the Swap Zones did. However, I don't think it would add significantly to the original vision. Imagine having to upgrade vehicles instead of skylanders? I can name a dozen games that do this today and I don't need toys to do it. I somehow think that the digital defenses in Kaos Challenge was a test to see how fans would react to using classes of artillery in the game. We'll see.

I am very much for a "more" open world, on some rails of course for the kids.

In general, we need to get a way from "the same old song and dance". I'm tired of looking for collectibles, doing dares, etc. and somehow the mechanics need to move forward but keep with this experience. I don't think Activision has enough guts to pull it off-I do think the technical prowess is there, but everyone is too busy playing it safe. Basically I think they're on the top of the mountain and I have no idea how they can move this franchise in a positive manner without sliding. I guess that's why I don't work for a video game company.

I'm still waiting on Skylanders that move when placed on the portal. Imagine placing a Trigger Happy on the portal and having him move his guns around. It would be relatively simple because it could use the power that lightcores use. You could call them something like Motor Core.

Same thing with Skylanders that react to the environment. Like weather it is light or dark in the room. Something like React Core.

I really hope they bring back PVP and add online play.

I think skylanders 5 should remake spyros adventrue and Giants to updated what has happen I'll explain more if you want

My take on Skylanders 5 is the exploration of the new Light and Dark elements and how they can exist in the current age of Skylands.

That's exatly what I'm thinking. No true gimmick just fleshing out the light and dark elements.

For begining, I think we must remember that next game is made by Vicarious Vision
so they will probably get rid of all Toy for Bob's elements.

I highly doubt they'll keep light/dark (unless sales are enormous) traps and kaos tower mode.
I imagine they'll develop something similar as swap force with the manipulation of the skylanders,
gaining modularity or personnalisation in some ways.

And i also think they'll keep the idea of small objects to buy, like the traps, to grab money,
why not equipements?

Another possibility could be a focusing on online features which could be very innovativing.

PS I don't get the goat gimmick, perfering the atogs

I agree. Also, PvP needs to let you use teams of 2 to 4 Skylanders. As for online, not just PvP but some other modes as well.

But my honest opinion on content is to see a Villain Based Skylanders game. Possibly allowing transfer of trapped villain data over to villain figures.

Wait you actually think they would get rid of light and dark? Really? I bet that VV told TFB to include the Light and Dark. I also highly doubt they will get rid of traps, or at least trap compatability. As far as Kaos Mode is concerned I could see that going.

It's only a guessing but I have the feeling VV will take a sort of revenge.
In trap tam, there's nothing left from the swappers and other modes, there's only the giant gimmick still lightly here.

i got a. Idea that involves an all out war between light and dark to plunge the world in one element

I sort of think that as well. Like it is said in Nightshade's battles here are higher forces of darkness. So I think that there might be like a Light "God" and a Dark "God" that fight each other for control.

The new game should be an online open world game when you could do missions with other players and maybe some singleplayer levels.
And batlle mode must come back

Sky 5 should be a racing game like Mario Kart 8

Knowing Activision, Glumshanks will probably find a time machine and go tell Past Kaos that he was trapped, so while you have the Present Kaos, the Past Kaos becomes the new Kaos. They ALWAYS have an excuse to make Kaos the main villain.

Why do you want that? Just play Mario Kart. Skylanders is a hack and slash, platforming, RPG, you suddenly think it's going to drop all of that and become racing?!
