darkSpyro

I don't think he can hover, since the "jet-pack" (Water pumps) are on him horizontally, thus can only really be used to propel him forward, but from what I've seen in the trailer, it seems he MAY be able to use that speed to "Dash" over small gaps with it. Buuut I could just be seeing things

I missed a lot... too bad this thing doesn't have Flash support... Well, I was going to stop looking anyway, so many spoilers!

I wonder if Skylanders will get a WiiU update like (presumably) Wii Sports...

Well there is the story trailer you can see:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDC6j5xebjE

Again, I don't have Flash support...

I am disappointed Kaos is already revealed... Why do companies show the main villains immeadeately? It's no fun! Unless it's someone obvious(I had no idea Bowser was the final boss ).
*sigh* Villains are SOOOOO unhidden these days.

Okay, well Kaos is a human-like villain as most of us had expected.

You can see images from the trailer here in a few pages of the photobucket gallery in the time being:

Why does Gill Grunt remind me of Mario and F.L.U.D. hovering around the place?

Must... Not... Click... LINK...!

The image failed to load anyway. Time to get away from here while I can still avoid the spoilers! *The wild GamingMaster_76 fled!*

I'll probably be getting this game for 360, seeing how E3 has showed me that the 360 won't have anything that I can't already get on PS3 or even Wii. The damn system will start collecting dust once I get a PS3.

Doubt it.

Skylanders release 16 October

Some sites say September 27th.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but..

Another character is Dark Spyro (3ds exclusive)

and another level/realm is Radiant Isle (3ds exclusive)

Source: youtube, toys r us, some 3ds sites which I forget.

Dark Spyro will be for the 3ds version, but playable on all systems. I guess this means he comes with the 3ds game along with the others, but you could, for example, give him to a friend that has an xbox360 version so he/she could use him on their game. Or something like that, but idk.

Yeah, it was one the one release from dark52

Price has been announced, 6.99 for any additional figure outside of the three character starter pack.

Six/Seven dollars? Aw, that doesn't seem so bad now. Ebay is still gonna be my best friend in eventually getting all the characters ( I'm a OCD completist that way ID), but it's still better then ten per toy, ya gotta say.

New gameplay, some clips include sheep:

Chop Chop reminds me of Sir Daniel Fortesque from MediEvil.

That poor sheep was being carried away in the storm at 1:10 X3

Whas that Ignitor's VA we heard at 1:13?

No that was another character, possibly that old man we saw in that other story trailer.. At least there will be voice acting the game indeed. :3

The game looks good, but the slight speed difference with Spyro's and other characters walk/run animation and their movement speed is going to bug me. It's nothing that affects game play, or quality for that, but it still bugs me, and is not hard to fix.

You can always charge quickly as Spyro...

It is not the speed itself, but like walking forwards and sliding forwards slightly faster or slower than walking at the same time., the foot placement on the ground changes. Like in a cartoon, or a badly animated short.

Oh, well, it doesn't hurt the game and can't hurt the game, And now that I think about it, I don't know a game that doesn't have that. I was just hoping that it would be different.

Because we've heard Ignitor's vocals when he enters the game before, and he sounds nothing like the voice we heard when it told us to lower the lightning pylon.

Why would Ignitor tell you what to do when you're the one controlling him?

Not to mention, Ignitor's voice is very much different than the wise old voice telling you to lower the lightning pylon.

BEcause he wants you to get it right the first time so he can get through this faster and be freed from Kaos faster

You're guessing... <.<

I would of laughed if Eon was called Kosmos...

The Elements have four opposing pairs.

Air opposes Earth
Life opposes Undead
Fire opposes Water (this is usually the other way around)
Magic opposes Tech

Do you have something against jokes?

I do, I'm going to get Spyro to flame you for that, muwhahahahaha! Which one would you like to flame you?

- Insomniac?
- Original
- Legend
- Skylander

You are of course just making fun of those who can't take jokes, aren't you? Or are you too making a joke? I believe it's the latter, right?

I didn't find that as a joke, more like a guess on the question CAV asked you.

I thought the silly face () made it clear I was joking. Oh well.

GASP! The update is officially here, and it’s more blown out than ever! Composed of all the rambling stuff regarding the upcoming Skylander game for the past two or three weeks (between May 22 to June 12), this has been the biggest update I ever made so far. And here are the following inputs!

6/12/11 update:

• I have upgraded from ordinary forum posts into using Google Docs! This will let me do some nifty things that weren’t possible in the forums. Plus, it would be easier to update this than updating the stuff separately for DarkSpyro or the Spyro Forums (Why so? I'll probably bore with the details, just technical stuff). However, this means I will not update the main posts in the topic.
  
• In order to make sure the sources I have listed is being used properly, I have done two things: 1) Make all the sources assigned with a letter, and a number - it should be pretty self-explanatory, and 2) Added those coding tags like this - “[(a letter)(a number)]”, and colored the text associated to it. Let’s see how it works out!
  
• Finally, I split the info and reference links up into two sections. Less mess that way.
  


• [MAIN]: Added RATING(S) entry, the game has been rated E10+ for “Everyone 10 and up” via ESRB.
  
• [MAIN]: Added confirmed platforms for the game will be in: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Microsoft PC.
  
• GAMEPLAY: Due to the different gameplay for the 3DS version, there might be the possibility of different gameplay among platforms, so what I decided is to make sub-sections with “all versions”, “Wii/X360/PS3 version”, “3DS version”, “online version”, and “mobile phone version”. I think they should be placeholders for now.
  
• DEVELOPMENT: Added info regarding the start of the development of the game. This is very interesting, because the game originally aimed for being a M-rated game. Former employees of RedOctane are involved, and the company went through a lot of character ideas before they narrowed it down to 32.
  
• PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Added some new info! You have to find out yourself!
  
• FAQ: Did some cleanup. Added a new entry, tis a bit of trivia tho - it’s about the licensed music from the first trailer!
  
• REFERENCES: A bit more clean up, added some sub-sections due to the impeding growth of more links arriving! I missed adding a reference for Spice News’ coverage of the Australian launch event.
  
• REFERENCES: A lot of new reference links!: 2 announcement links (mUmBRELLA, Activision PR), and 20 video links (E3 2011 trailer, Spyro, Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy, Zap, Chop Chop, Eruptor, Flameslinger, Ignitor, Prism Break, and Stump Smash character trailer, Coin-Op TV interview, GameTrailers, E3 2011 Activision viewing, Nintendo Network, ScrewAttack, GamerLive, Reportaje, B-roll footage, Eurogamer, and Metagamers). Tons to examine and speculate!
  
• REFERENCES: New section...”OTHER”! It pretty much differentiates from sections “ANNOUNCEMENTS”, and “PREVIEWS”. It currently has one entry, an old one (Spice News), and then it gets two new entries (Nintendo Difference interview w/ Jared Yeager, a pre-E3 teaser received from Game Informer, and Gamastura).

NOTE: I’ve been hearing that there are new level names mentioned within the last couple of weeks, and saw some of them, but I couldn’t find them among the many topics and posts that are recently created in the Skylanders section. If you guys can find them for me, along with the attachment of images - that would be awesome.

I may feel like that I’m missing a couple of more stuff, so I tried my best to cover the best I can.

EDIT: Oh my Celestia...I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaallly tired. I should play a video game after this......or take a nap, or have a bunch of ponies dancing around my brain. ~_~

Not Legend at all, that is overkill

An update?

I guess that we're going to have to wait until September sometime.

Is it possible to buy a figure during E3?

No you can't buy a figurine during E3? They won't let you.

Ooooooo.

I'll go into E3 and steal one >:D

Then you'll be charged.

It's only a crime if you get caught!

He'd probably get caught tbh.
