If they did it Imaginators only, they could just balance it mid development. It would stop people from using Bumble Blast and Elites to win instantly,yeah.

Mysticat pls be at Gamescom... pls. Also Starcast, and Aurora, and EVERYONE ELSE.

I'm expecting the packages, thus at least Aurora.

Two Days guys... WE CAN DO THIS!

Less than two days actually!

I need it now! I hope it's worth the wait, I just need something to satisfy me. I mean, don't we all?

I'd honestly rather not see Aurora or Starcast at Gamescon only because we know their battle classes. I'd love to see some of the characters who we are 100% certain on their battle classes so we can fill out the roster more fully. Or heck, for the last 3 years we got the full roster reveal in August, so maybe we can just get the full poster shown to us?

Anyone who hasn't been seeing all of the news that weren't from Acti, they've only seen the reveal and E3's news, and Sweet Suite, then they probably are already dead.

Yall are welcome for providing you with the Instagram posts. Heres a present for you academy lovers

Oooh... That looks beautiful...

AND YOU CAN GO INSIDE IT! AHHH! THE BEST OF BOTH VV AND TfB'S GRAPHICS!


Just hope it isn't small like SSC's academy

Noticed a few things
- Eon is back to being holographic like he was in SF
- Seems to be a combination of the academy from SC and TT
- Villain Vault is replaced with a fountain
- Seems to be some sort of statue where the Spitfire statue was in SC
- Not sure if it's the Imaginator or something else but looks like the orbs Astroblast gets through upgrades

Uhhh, Eon, where did you put your torso today? It's literally the same model as SF.

But the rest hnnnnng. They got the good architecthre from SC, gave it a MUCH better palette, and gave it the green it needed.

The orbs are the Light Elemental aura. No one selected it on gameplay but you see the preview everywhere.

*gasp*
For some reason it reminds me of SSA and that makes me happy! Love all the plants, gives it a more ancient look.

Yeah definitely like the look of it this time

I hope the inside is large. That bothered me about SSC Skylanders academy

It looks really small... and Eon is the only NPC there.

You can see the inside a bit and there's the selfie gallery it seems, it probably goes on to the back a bit more than SC since you can have 10 paintings; only one is even visible from that spot.

Wait, 10 selfies? Was assuming they got saved to the SD card.

Well, we're not taking them with a phone, are we?
But maaan you really see the difference between Dave's insistence on looking Techy makes compared to good balance. You see steel plates and cables but there's still plants, decoration and greenery to break the textures. Really pleasing to the eye.

GOSH I JUST HAD AN AMAZING IDEA!
What if there were some parts that are designed just like the Core of Light & Woodburrow to act like a throwback.
*drifts into endless hole of unrealistic hopes*

I'm not sure how I feel about it. I mean, it's alright in the least, but I can't decide just how much I like it. As said above, it's obviously a mixture of TT and SC. Or at least it looks like it. I didn't like the SC at all, but a mix seems kind of cool.

Well, you can put an SD Card in the Wii U! I just hope there is some way to transfer them there now, I was looking forward to sharing screenshots without having to use Miiverse (it loads so gosh darn slowly).

We'll see. Lou brought up the limit of 10 as in what you can display at the Academy, depending on how saving works you probably can have tons but only display these.

I just hope it's the size of the TT Academy... if not I hope they never use the Academy again.

I assumed it was you can take as many selfies as you want but only display 10 in the academy. Probably the place where those useless elemental numbers were in SC and looks like I was right

Based on this one screenshot that's the first we've ever seen of the Academy in this game...

Unless the shots of a small field with trees are also the Academy. Considering the overgrown look it has now, it's most likely the case.

Sooooo... No one gonna check the website or atleast tell me how?

What website?

Quote: Deja Vu

What website?

The skylanders website last year we got Splat and co.

I'm guessing you mean the website Zap showed us yesterday. Someone already checked (including me going into the code) and nobody got anything out of it. Just wait a few days for Gamescom folks

Hey maybe we'll get a leak of what's happening there in the next few days

It's waaaaaaay too early for that. You shouldn't expect anything until late September.

I don't actually remember where. Last year's What we Know thread is a huge mess too, so no hope finding much there.

I think we're all talking about something else.

Too lazy to quote :I but I looked back where Splat was revealed but I don't find anything other than Skydad mentioning her name.

This conversation is actually a mess.

I think sprocket means the official website update we get every year.

Not the official update, last year they added images of artwork and figure images of Splat, Samsh Hit, etc. early!!!

Still too early for that though. I remember that happened maybe a month before launch at most

They might wait for Gamescon, since the website is updating during events to add reveals. If we get a full sized artwork we can go from there.

But... that was the website update.

But... that was the website update.

It was more a perpetration for the update if I remember correctly they added the images into the coding but not officially on the website

What are we talking about with the website update?

The Website Update only included Nightfall, Stormblade, Fiesta, Spitfire, and more, but we were able to go into the URL to discover more characters. I think I know what they mean. Give me a minute. I might be able to find something.

EDIT: Bah, they haven't added anything just yet. Still the ones we've seen there, such as Ember, Ambush, King Pen, etc. Probably after Gamescom.

Here's hoping we can get news soon! Wednesday is pretty much guaranteed right? Or atleast Thursday!
Maybe we should keep an eye out in case some reporter jumps the gun!! Thanks for trying luminous!!

Myskylanders is going tomorrow so we could possibly get something already.

That's the Academy I like!
I won't lie, I still prefer its Trap Team look from what I can see but I'd rather get this ancient and "ruin" look over SuperChargers's unneeded tech features.

Speaking of that, it was probably just as big as Trap Team's (if not bigger) in V.V.'s minds, the fact the majority of it is vehicle-only is probably a minor detail for them.
This one looks like it has lots of space we can't see, especially if the other images we've got truly depict parts of it (trying to find the banana Imaginators ones but they are lost somewhere in this topic and I can't remember when we found them out).
