How is this relvent?

Well go ahead. Fire up something "relvent?" like i said before, long time comin before the game so were going to have a bunch of small talk until then. No point in starting up a new thread that would last 3 or 4 posts. Just let one topic turn to another and see where it takes us.

You do realize that that isn't how forums work, right? There are different threads for different topics. Sometimes one thread can go off-topic, but it's not on purpose, usually. You deliberately went off-topic. Badly.

And there is news. The release date for the game has been confirmed. //forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=48373

You do realize that most forums have a much higher level of moderation than this one has also right? Arguing about anything going off topic is rather moot when random pointless topics get made a dozen times daily too.

I'm starting to realize that about this place. Oh wells. Back on topic then.

In Canada. What about US?

Maybe someone on this website can answer my question?

If old skylanders are going to be ale to upgrade further in Giants, will they no longer work with S:SA?

More than likely they just arent going to recognize any new data thats part of Giants. The game data thats stored on the figures I think is a lot less than we'd all really like to believe it is. Being mostly just a coding string like the webcode we can generate that advises the game what level/upgrades/money. The figure is really just a glorified unlock code to information already on the disc. The figures probably have enough room to hold a third (I consider the online game stats as second) string that will work for Giants. Giants will read the old string and create a new one based off that information as well as do minor modifications to the original one such as gold, upgrades, etc.

Just because the orig game does not let you level beyond 10 in-game, does not mean it can't handle levels beyond 10.

The only potential weirdness I questioned is if there are new hats, the orig game may have to ignore them.

Of course, new skills will be ignored.

Given we've seen people hack the game already to see Dragon's Peak and the remaining unreleased Skylanders I think if the game was programmed beyond level 10 we'd have seen or heard of someone doing it already.

Meh! Maybe simply noone has bothered?

The diff between turning an expansion on and re-jigging the comms for what the fig is reporting are two different things.

Imagine there is an API function to find out what level the fig is at:

int GetLevel();

Now imagine the code to see if a fig has levelled up (contrived psuedo-code to simplify a tad):

if (GetLevel() < 11)
{
<<Add experience to experience counter>>
<<If exeperience counter has a threshhold then inc Level>>
}

So, the system could readily higher levels as it is simply a matter of showing a number and checking stats that are larger number that what would occur normally but the logic remains the same even if it disallows levels going beyond 10 within its own code.

I can't believe that they are already making a new one.

What an amazing picture!!!!!! It needs to be big!!!! hahaha

thats so cool!!!

OMG..... MAYBE YOU SHOULD PUT OTHER GIANTS ON TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Giants Topic was an odd and of some way, a great notice for me. Who'd say Activision was doing another game.
I think Giants Technology will be so cool than previous toys.
I'll hope when it come out if only test them...

Does anyone notice the base of the figure in that picture? It says Activision and Blizzard?! Blizzard is helping with Giants?!

I noticed the same thing and I've completely forgot about Blizzard

By the way, I LOVE that bird guy: it's probably the only wind character that I would buy, but unfortunately you can't play as him in the original game, so I have to get Sonic Boom too....

^Blizzard and Activision are the same company now....they merged together a while back.
That' all!

I asked earlier what it's name was. This is the guy's response: (i guess this is him. The profile links back to the blog, so..)
"Vac Eagle"

My response to that aswell.
Vac Eagle. ....I'm sorry but that's just weak.

Vac Eagle could be a testing name, like how Terrafin was originally named 'Fin' and Whirlwind once being called 'Stormee' at Toy Fair 2011.

I wouldn't doubt it, but I'm glad we at least have SOMETHING to call him, rather than "Unnamed Bird Skylander". It sounds robotic.

Eww! Whirlwind was Stormee!?

She was originally called 'Stormee'.

Ja! Deceiving isn't it?

People were so upset when Stormee was changed to Whirlwind... I didn't expect a response like that. I have come to prefer Whirlwind to Stormee though, so....

Hey, I asked the same question to Activision and they replied that all (That includes remodels) new figures will NOT work in the old game. Sorry I wanted them to work in the old game too...

Proof please?

Proof please?

idk where he heard this but it wouldnt make sense that new figures would work on the old game because it isnt programmed into the game for them to be compatible so it makes sense its like saying you would play a playstation3 game on the playstation2

Correct, but it makes no sense at all that a re-model would not work in the old game; the RFID chip would/should be the same as before and simply packaged in a different looking lump of figurine plastic.

well if they had any new moves or anything like that then it definitely wouldnt b possible

It really wouldn't surprise me if the re-designed figures didn't work for SSA. They'll have the same orange base as all the other new ones, which also probably won't work on Adventure. I don't really see why TFB would try to make the re-designed figures work on the old game and not the new ones, with the exception of the giants. I could be wrong though.

also theres something special about the orange bases that makes the new figures unrecognizeable to the old (or older) game i dont remember exactly how that works though but they said something about it in a video posted either on this thread or another one on this site

Please source, if you can.

I am pretty sure that I have watched every video referred to on this site and do not recall any statement like that. I am not saying it did not happen, just that I would prefer a concrete answer.

^It's something they programmed in the RFID chip itself. They most likely made the base orange for the consumer to easily recognize what version it's for or that it's one of the new figures. The remodeled ones such as Cynder, Zook and Light Force Prism Break might work for the original game if they didn't program the RFID chip to not read it.

I think I will buy the remodels! Knowing there are 24 of the 32 in remodel I think it wouldn't include the ones in Adv. Packs but idk.

^ I probably won't I'm going to avoid them as much as possible unless they come in packs with new skylanders or have new abilities

I know this off topic, but the ears of flameslinger model are flat without any hole...

Maybe the hole is at the back so he can better hear who/what is trying to sneak up behind him?

Been gone a while can anyone bring me up to speed?

Where'd you leave off on? We haven't really learned anything new besides what's posted in the OP.

ya just tree character and the release date

Oh. I might have to give Giants a pass. Skylanders was good, but If I heard right
a) The game isn't coming out for PC again, so I have to get it on Wii and the version with the portal in more expensive than the one without (RIP OFF)
b) Additional giants are going to be 20-30 bucks each!!! (MEGA ULTRA rip off if that's right!)
c) The gameplay doesn't seem to have changed from the first and the Giants don't seem to add anything except same game on a larger scale.
