Will they be including any new adventure packs this go round?

Maybe and maybe not. They might have battle packs again.

i hope they have adventure packs...battle packs was a bad move imo, useless in comparison to new levels

They might make a new one.

SA: Adventure Packs
SG: Battle Packs
SSF: ?

Who knows

Adventure
Battle
We need a C

^ Combination packs that have a new adventure and a new battle in the pack...

Then Dinner packs with food magic items.
Then Elephant mount packs
Then fire packs where you set fire to the Portal and all the enemies die.
Then good grief this is crazy packs, I hope they introduce new packs but continue with adventure packs.

I like the idea of combo packs where you have a level with an arena at the end like molekin moountain.

We loved the Battle Arena Challenges of SG, I hope they carried that concept forward and at least double the amount of them. Also make some of them nearly impossible to complete without a fully leveled and fully HC'ed Skylander.

I believe they will with 32 new toons this time around as opposed to the 16 total new toons in Giants. Since 32 was the original launch number it stands to reason that they would have them this time around.

agreed, arena battles were my favorite feature of SG, i really hope they bring them into SSF.
i had hoped when i saw the battle packs the arenas they were unlocking were more arena battle challenges. i was sorely disappointed

What would make Swap Force awesome, is if they included all of this -

- New Adventure Packs
- New Magical Items
- New Arena Challenges
- Heroic Challenges that are unique, unlocked by all 56 Skylanders
- Elemental Gates return
- Double-Element Gates (confirmed)
- Giant Areas (Feat of Strength)
- Swap Force Zones (confirmed)

That would help make the game longer, and levels inside the game longer.

I just hope we don't have to use the Spyro's Adventure pack figures like the Darklight Crypt or Dragon's Peak.

why put more battle packs if there's no one to PVP with? put online mode with security settings to at least PVP mode then roll more battle packs. if theres no online options just make sure make more Adventure packs or its just a waiting game for figures to collect the whole year. anyone here want to initiate a petition to put online mode to at least PVP? they worry about kids playing strangers- put a security settings to it......

yeah, i dont see what there is to worry about with children playing with strangers, unless they allow voice chat in the games, then i suppose there may be reason to be concerned, but that can be easily disabled/not included, and if its online PVP i wouldnt expect any voice chat...give us online PVP!!

^exactly!!!! security settings + online mode will appeal to all target audience...... now someone start the petition

I don't mind adventure packs but I prefer ones with levels instead of arenas. I think its just a waste. Online play would be good for varity in gameplay. Other than that, bring it on!

I'd like new adventure packs.... I heard somewhere that they were making new adventure packs as they were waiting til Skylanders 3(swap force) to do them.

That was an idea that occurred in the 3DS version of Spyro's Adventure. I was so happy to see them in the console version of Giants.

Hopefully they can bring some of the things from the 3DS versions such as, aside from jumping and arena challenges, the timed mission (where you play the level against the clock or are obliterated) and the special missions (like don't eat the food, collect 10 things and whatnot)

They actually do the timed Challenges... they just don't show the clock or a way to watches to increase the time.

Yeah not the same experience. In fact, after playing the 3ds game for the first game, I couldn't be bothered to do the timed challenges on the console version.

Crammed packs! They are stuffed full of skylanders!

Unless they are doing online pvp, battle packs are useless and I would prefer new levels, I really loved getting 1 new character, 1 new level and 2 magical items, as opposed to now where I just got 1 new character, 1 remodel character, and only 1 magical item.

This would be awesome! This is exactly what would get them more money IMO. Plus, it would make us all happy.

Now it just becomes a case of them listening.

Fixed it with new info

So good and bad news, then.

Good news is Adventure Packs are coming back.

Bad news is the game is as short as Giants?

Makes me wonder if the length being the same as Giants takes into account Adventure Packs, or if that's for the main story, and not Adventure Pack chapters? If the main story is the same length as Giants, not including Adventure Packs, then the game is technically longer than Giants.

Man, if only I were there. I would have followed up the Adventure Pack and length question with the question of if the length isn't taking into account the Adventure Packs.

Considering they said everything from the other games works there, it means the old adventure packs will work too, and will look fresh and new with the HD quality, and now we have more Adventure packs, so if they do 4 packs like before, in a game that going by the lenght will have 16 chapters, we get 24 chapters, even more than the whole storymode of SSA

But the Giants versions of Darklight Crypt, Pirate Seas, Empire of Ice, and Dragon's Peak were watered down versions. They didn't contain as many items to collect as they did in Spyro's Adventure.

I just hope that when they said the length of Swap Force was the same as Giants, they meant before Adventure Packs come into play.

I'm not so sure the old adventure packs will unlock levels, they could just be magic items like they can be used as in SG. They are like LC bombs without needing an LC.

At best, they should retire the old adventure levels and just turn them into battle arenas instead.

Also, they always were magic items as well.

How would it be longer than giants, not including adventure packs?
