The difficulty levels of Giants are explained by a spokesman: http://www.theverge.com/gaming...fficulty-levels

Skylanders Giants, the sequel to last year's popular Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, will include three difficulty levels and possibly a fourth unlockable "nightmare" or "legendary" mode, an Activision representative told Polygon.

In addition to the Easy, Normal and Hard standard difficulty modes, a spokesperson at the presentation said "a nightmare mode or legendary mode will be unlocked if you finish [the game]." The spokesperson clarified that they weren't sure if the additional, more punishing difficulty level "has been finalized yet."

Bringing the new info on this page, just in case no one saw it.

I expect new info on giants in the begging of July through gameinformer and nintendo power. The whole conversation about spelling makes me laugh.

This is becoming like the inter-testamental period.

After Malachi the prophet spoke (last book of the Bible) there were approximately 400 years of silence before John the Baptist (the figurative returning Elijah) came and spoke the Word of God again.

In that time of silence, folks came out with some really odd and off the wall stuff. I think it had to be a pretty frustrating time. Book of Enoch anyone?

Anyway, that's somehow remotely how I feel checking in here... like comparing an iota to Jupiter, but nonetheless.

I wonder if the sidekicks would work in giants

I'm pretty sure I'm walking out now. The Giants game looks exciting, but I can't hump over the fact that there is so much more money spending involved. This is definitely turning into a game for avid collectors and rich families (no offense to anyone), and I just don't fit either category. I'm going to buy the rest of the series 1 that I don't have, including Leg. TH, and that's it, I'm done. I may buy Giants later on, maybe next year after it drops in price a little, but I'm not going to rebuy series 2, or collect new characters. It's just too expensive.

I think it's awesome that you can do difficulty change. It will add some extra fun to the game. I just hope it will be more than enemy XP boost and enemy damage boost.

I discover a possible delay! Is this possible?

A delay is possible, although that date is just a placeholder.

I discover a possible delay! Is this possible?

All games that haven't had an official release date on Gamestop have got the date set to the 31st of December - it's because that it the last possible release date for a 2012 game release (because it's the last day of the year).

Activision may look into a Skylanders movie and TV show in the future!

http://www.videogamer.com/xbox...activision.html

Activision's product specialist Noah Kircher-Allen revealed that Skylanders "was a long-term franchise" for the publisher, and that the series could also extend into comic books and "Halloween costumes.

"Skylanders is a long-term franchise, so you can imagine all sorts of cool new stuff coming out," Kircher-Allen said. "Everything from Halloween costumes to books to comic books.

"As far as film or TV is concerned, we don't have anything officially set for that yet, but obviously that would be something I could see Activision looking into in the future."

I think we all saw that one coming the minute we knew what SSA was about.

Spoke to my son (who turned 6yo today). He's happy to sell all his Series 1 figures to fund the Series 2 versions. We'll keep the Series 1 figures that aren't reposed for Series 2, but we see no reason to keep the originals as the Series 2 versions are just the same with some added extras in game.

Well, True, but I'd keep Spyro, (Not sure if he gets reposed) trigger happy, gill grunt, and the newest released ones such as Camo

It's a nice idea Wesley but series 1 figures will be worth less than nothing when series 2 comes out... the better option is to sell them as soon as possible... either that or wait until series 1 have been discontiniued long enough that they could go back up in price because new collectors will want "a complete collection". But that option is risky because they may never go up in price.

I no we've went over this but I WANT pop fizz but don't have enough$ to buy the starter pack but can get the portal owner pack. will pop fizz be included

No, he will not. You only get Pop Fizz if you buy the 3DS starter. With any luck he will have his own single pack though instead of what they did with the starter characters in SSA.

Considering that there are two versions of the game (Starter pack and portal owners pack) I wouldn't be surprised if they did release the starter pack characters in single packs too - maybe not Tree Rex but Pop-Fizz, Jet-Vac and Cynder.

A more direct quote about the role of the adventure packs:

Quote: Digital Spy

The adventure packs too - for example, the pirate ship we released - all of those will unlock the same worlds in Giants.

maybe a heroic challenge/different arena

Yay! No wasted items from the first game!

@spyrodadragon: My theory was that given Pop will be basically a "3DS Exclusive", it makes sense to me that they may have him in a LightCore variant. That way if someone wants it, they can pay more for it to have him.

Also because we don't know of a LC Magic yet, and that's as good a guess as any.


Also, cool stuffs that the Adventure Pack pieces will still work. I hope they make the levels a bit different though, and not just the same exact one copy pasted over.

I think a light force Double Trouble would be good for a magic LF.

keep in mind that when characters get re-released they will also be very hard to find. and id keep the series ones because nostalgia.


EDIT its been confirmed that every skylander (except for tree rex) will be released on a single/triple pack

Yeah, that was my thinking. I'm not trying to really get any gains of collecting these toys. If I had, I probably would have never taken them out of their boxes. But any comic book geek can tell you that the most valuable thing a franchise has is its first series. Series 1 Skylanders will be sold for the rest of 2012, and then never again. Perhaps the old poses will be the ones that will be 'hard-to-find'.

I highly doubt they will sell till the very end of 2012. Most likely the will stop sending out skylanders in October. But then again some people won't buy giants so they could do that. Guess we will have to wait and see.

In my opinion, they will sell Series 1 figures up till they have 50% of the series 2 figures released. Then they will drop series 1 production.

wait... where is this notion that they will stop making series one skylanders coming from? activision confirmed officially that they will continue making series one (given the cost to create the molds for each toy, that's not surprising). the only statement faun sees about discontinuing it looks like just one person who leapt to a strange conclusion based on...nothing faun can see from any official source. did faun miss something?

Why would they keep selling the series one figs come Giants though? The new reposes have a bigger advantage over the current figs, so no one is going to buy them. It's just pointless for Activision and Toys For Bob to do it.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this but they won't keep making series 1 forever. Whether they stop making them by the end of the year or in 10 years... they will eventually stop making them.

As yet afaik there is no confirmed date for the discontinuation of series 1... but it will happen some day. There just can't be enough demand to justify producing them forever.

We're selling as soon as we know the full list of Series 2 characters and he's levelled all of his Series 1 to 10. Hopefully that will be before Giants is released. I'm hoping to get £3-4 per figure.

Series 1 production has to end within 12 months I would think. Pretty sure they won't have enough presses to make those and Series 2 (the expensive bit that led to them not being able to satisfy demand) and surely retail won't give over shelf space to the old figures.

I can see that price being achievable. I should do that myself... should... but probably won't.
