Patrick Warburton is confirmed as one of the major secondary characters in Skylanders!!

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/impressions/28003

Oooo! He did the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the old Disney cartoon Buzz Lightyear of Star Command! I LOVe that, show, it's on my MP3 Player! Oh, I hope performs well in Skylanders! I wonder what type of character he'll play? A hero perhaps? Speaking of, is a secondary character in this case an NPC or a lesser playable toy character?

Quote: Prysom

It got an award and it hasn't come out yet? That's insane.

Games get awards at E3 when there not out yet.

Depends on if they were given a copy by Activision. Many people/companies have already played it now.

My first guess is Lightning Rod, one of the Skylanders, since he's a macho-like character X3

EDIT: SkylandersGame uploaded more vids, but they put them, along with the other new videos, in private.

I'll but any Character with Patrick as the VA, just coz It's the same guy who once did Buzz Lightyear.

Theres also
Terrafin

Stealth elf(extended)

And zap(extended)

Terrafin's biography:

Terrafin hails from The Dirt Seas, where it was common to swim, bathe, and even snorkel beneath the ground. But a powerful explosion in the sky created a blast wave that turned the ocean of sand into a vast sheet of glass, putting an end to Terrafin's duty as the local lifeguard. Not one to stay idle, the brawny dirt shark found himself training in the art of boxing, and not long after he was local champ. Fighters came from all around to challenge him, but it was a chance meeting with a great Portal Master that led him to give up his title for a greater purpose.

Ghost Roaster's Biography:

There was a time when Ghost Roaster was neither a ghost nor a roaster. Instead he was a chef living in a village high in the mountains. One day, while clipping wool from a sheep to use in a recipe, he accidentally fell into the Valley of the Undead and transformed into a ghost eating ghoul! After eating an entire spectral village, its Ethereal Ruler chained Ghost Roaster to a spiked ball as punishment -- its rattle heard as he wanders the night, warning nearby spirits. When Master Eon eventually heard of his predicament, he figured even a ghost eater could be useful. So he made Ghost Roaster a Skylander... after he promised to eat only evil ghosts.

^Did they finally update the site? :D

No, they just added the bios on the videos.

*reads Ghost Roasters*

WTP

EDIT: WTP = What the pineapple (a phrase I like to use).

Here's Drobot's:

Dragons are smart, but none so much as Drobot. He was born in the highest reaches of Skylands, where dragons spent all their time competing in aerial battles. But Drobot was more interested in taking things apart to see how they worked. While exploring one day, he came upon some mysterious technology, which he used to assemble a robotic suit. Features include laser beams that shoot from his eyes, flight enhancement technology, a vocal synthesizer that gives him a deep booming voice, and the ability to shoot spinning gears. With such power -- more than most other dragons -- Drobot joined the Skylanders to help protect the residents of Skylands.

And Boomer's:

As a young troll, Boomer loved to blow things up -- particularly sheep. Later, he was drafted into the troll army, where they gave him LOTS of things to blow up. However, Boomer realized the sole mission of the army was war and conquest. Even though he was a troll, these things didn't interest him. So he left the trolls after saving a town from being destroyed by them. Not long after, he was invited to be a Skylander -- the only troll ever to win such an honor. Now he uses his explosive skills to fight evil... much to the relief of sheep everywhere.

Drobot's is cool.

...Made me think of Iron Man. O.o;

Extended Spyro video, with Spyro's voice in it:

Extended Spyro video, with Spyro's voice in it:

Gill Grunt:

im not gonna judge the game no more... but spyros voice when he said all fired up... that makes me wanna inflict pain on myself. he should not talk if hes got that voice actor.

He is going to talk in the game with that voice, ccrogers. It's just a video game, not the meaning of life.

Gill Grunt has the best voice.

I wonder if the commercial voices were different people, or just them trying to find the right voice? They sound much different.

Probably by different people.

.....I'll be honest.

Spyro sounded terrible there. It's like they got some random guy off the street to voice him.

No the Spyro VA if you listen is the same actor but using another tone, Grill sounds like a WoW troll mon

terrafin looks like he has lipstico on. drobot looks AWESOME to play as.


...ok, how long untill the flame war of spyros voice is gonna start?

Oh, so Drobot's not actually a cyborg? Or Dragborg, whatever?

Spyro's voice could work, it's almost got the right kind of rasp to it, but I don't think I care for Gill's voice. It's hard to explain, it just sounds I dunno, wrong. I think I hear some kind of accent in it. Nope, not at all what I would have chosen for him judging from that at least, but it may differ later on.

Gill Grunt reminds me of a penguin character I know called Rico.

I don't mind Spyro's voice too much though. I'd like to hear more for a definite answer.

I'm also not 100% on Stealth Elf's voice either. Sounds like the VA was trying too hard to sound creepy and mysterious and not succeeding.

I don't dislike Spyro's voice for sounding annoying, because I don't think it does.
The acting is just terrible. No emotion whatsoever. Needs a LOT of work.

Toys R US will be offering full game-demos and and interactive game kiosks this weekend on October 8th.

I do agree and I'm hoping that was a one off, because I actually like the voice a lot.

Also, TRU UK have something similar:

If I was a few years younger, I would've walked in and tried the game out.

But being a 15 year old guy and all, it just looks wrong.

Razz commented to me that it doesn't matter how old you are to like a children's video game, yourself and everyone around you should be mature to understand that...Apparently..

The only people I know who care so much about others' opinions are teenagers and very immature adults. I'm almost 30 and if I should happen to find a playable Skylanders demo this weekend, I'll be there. I'm old enough to like what I like and not really care what anyone else thinks.

You can say "Goonro" to all those who think badly for playing an innocent kids' game.

Honestly, if anyone's going to mock you for playing the Skylanders demo, just ask them what they were doing at Toys R Us. But, really, it's probably a non-issue and all in your head. Even when Spyro was popular, nobody talked about it when I went to school. Unless you bring it up yourself, I doubt anyone you go to school with will know or even care.

What does Goonro mean? I keep seeing that word all over the forum.

...Seriously?

I played Sonic games in a store more than once. I even play games that are tie-ins to kids movies in stores. Didn't get any funny looks.
And last year, I bought Sonic Colours during my school lunch break. After school, I went to rehearsals for the school musical. One of the local girls schools was also joining us. So, during the breaks and what not, while my friend was trying to chat up girls, along with pretty much every other guy - I was there reading my Sonic Colours Instruction Manual, and I wasn't hiding it either.

And, on November 4th, if I have enough money on me by then, I'll be strolling into GameStop to buy myself the Sonic Generations Collectors Edition after school....

Bingo.

I'll be going to TRU Saturday to try this game out. I hope they have Spyro there to play as.

Also, Planet XBox 360 took a look at Skylanders and mentions Patrick Warburton playing as 'an overconfident, cocky pilot who agrees to help you rescue someone – as long as he gets the credit'. The only pilot seen so far is Flynn, the character who takes you to different areas in Skylands.

^This

Imagine trying to explain to people you went into a Target to play a game for kids 6-12.

"I went to Target to try out this game, to decide whether or not to actually buy it. Economically sensible people try products before buying them, if they are unsure. If you've got a problem with me playing this solely because I'm 15, take it up with the manager...I dare you..."

Easy as pie to explain.

I love your attitude in this post, and that gif just brightened my day a little

I found that GIF, and I was just like:
"It's...the perfect husbando for my post.... "

It shouldn't matter what age you are. Heck, I've walked into Toys R Us more than once to download a Pokemon...with my mom, who also brought her games. And she's fifty. And I'm a teenager. But we both pull out our games and download those Pokemon...like a boss. And if we see a demo for a game we're interested in, we'll take a look. If people want to judge us, silently or otherwise, who cares? They're just some random person.

Also...is this just over the weekend, or what? I might go and check it out, if I get the chance.

Just on October 8th this weekend.

I know who.

Can't comment on the voice, they had no speakers on them


Also, what sonicbrawler182 said.

I've bought plastic ponies enough times to not give one about buying 'kid's' stuff. Heck, the guy who worked at the game shop was practically following my friend and me when we were geeking out about Zelda!

Even if I was to go to TRU, I wouldn't have much interest unless they have the 3DS version available to try out. It's honestly the one thing that keeps me interested in the game anymore.

i want to go and buy the game....but im so ashamed...idk if i even wanna go there without being akward a sheck. and besides, what if i meet someone i know? D8>

i need to ask...will this game come out in the scandinavin countries? because i doubt it for some reason..

1. You wouldn't have to. The employees don't care and they probably tried it out while they were setting up the display anyway.

2. "Yeah, I saw the commercial and it looked kind of neat. I wanted to see what it was about. Have you played it? Do you know anything about it?"

It's that easy.

lol, I'm 26 and I still go to TRU just to buy either MLP, Pokemon, or Sonic stuff. No one even cared when they see me buying those.

I don't get the fuss over adults and teens buying 'kid's stuff'. You like what you like, and you have right ot enjoy them, and anyone who thinks less of you or gives you a hard time (in a non joking manner) for something as inconsequencial as playing children's video games is clarly no friend of yours and so thier opinions of you don't really matter.

^ All of this. I wholeheartedly agree.
