Just absorbing/viewing all this now...I think the trailer is absolutely terrible. Of all the great and exciting things they have done in that past, this is the best they could com eup with? Doesn't feel like a Skylanders game whatsoever smilie

Right around 5:31 and then some.

I see light and dark!!!!

Look closely. I see to other elements at the top of the poster while I see the other 8 elements down below it. I also think they are doing the thing like they did in Swap Force where the probably put a car down the middle.

Tigorus I respect your opinions (expecially the ones regarding the Infinity vibe since I'm still pondering on it) but I have to disagree on the revamped characters.

I would have preferred brand new characters over them a thousand times.
You have to think about it: why did they gave them the "honor" to be SuperChargers...?

To me the answer is quite evident: because otherwise they probably wouldn't have sold so much.

They could have simply left them as Cores.
The new twist would have remained and they would have been priced like regular figures also giving more space to entirely new Skylanders.
Even better: could have created completely new characters using their new movesets.

Instead they decided to give them the possibility to own a vehicle and supercharge it too.

As I said I probably eventually buy all the vehicles if they will prove to be unique enough.
Can't say the same about revamps at all.

Hopefully Rift into Overdrive will explain this idea better but still.
They are simply a choice I personally don't like.
Definitely won't make me skip the game.

Oh yeah, I can see it too. So in their case, it's just one vehicle per element? But it doesn't seem to make sense because there's only a pair of vehicles next to the others as well, and we know they have at least two vehicles per element.

Well, what I see on that poster is 2 cars in the middle of each element row. And I also see 2 superchargers, and 2 new cores.

Yeah I hear ya man. I'm not a fan of the reposes as they've been implemented in the series so far. They are also indicating that these vehicles are characters in their own right thus included in the total character count. I personally love returning characters in a new capacity but I can also see the need/want for straight up new blood. How can you not love the new Terrafin though lol...he's so badass lol. Ironically I've always been a fan of the Corelanders (Trap Team did have some amazing Cores) but I can also appreciate a new take on old blood.

I see them but can't really tell which pictures depicts the vehicles and which ones the Skylanders.

That's what I see and I already know it's wrong:
4 characters per Element (2 for Light and Dark) and only 10 vehicles.

Really too blurry as of now.

However did you noticed that thing in the upper-middle part of the poster?

It doesn't look like a vehicle but not really like a SuperCharger either.

I can make out Hot Streak and Spitfire on the left as well as the Magic goat and her boat.
Any idea?

I really like Terrafin's new look.
He's truly badass.

But unfortunately a rocket shooter, some fancy armor and a new moveset won't make me buy him.
*gosh... I thought I would have NEVER said that... smilie*

I just really miss a Core focused game... I think that might have been one of the reasons why SA felt so magical and unique.
No gimmick outside of the idea of Toys to Life itself.

They always went wild with them.
But HEY, these new SuperChargers aren't that far from Cores after all!
They seem quite varied and creative.

I guess it's my OCD part coming out at the wrong moments... smilie

As per the usual you can complete the main story with everything in the starter. To experience everything additional purchases will be required.

Oh man well as long as you think the new Terrafin is a badass there's still hope for you... smilie .

I 100% agree with you regarding a core game experience. I would love to just see them get creative on the Skylanders themselves and not the gimmick...hell no gimmick for once just a game that rox my sox!!! To use a food analogy, they are too interested in selling the Happy Meal based on the toy inside (or the gimmick in this case) instead of selling us on the food (the core game experience) that comes with the meal. That being said I will give them the benefit of the doubt since what I've seen looks amazing and fun as all hell!!!

And your right, Lou implied that there are a lot of levels this time around.

I believe Myskylanders is stating that there are Vehicular Elemental gates just like there were Traptanium Elemental gates.

Absolutely agree.

Not only is this game currently looking amazing and fun but I'm also sure I will enjoy it a lot once I'll get used to the gimmick. smilie

It's just too much "innovation" in a single day...
Vehicles, no actual Cores, revamped old Skylanders, online, traps supported, Light and Dark returning...
Too much. smilie

So it's kind of a reverse Trap Team? In that we only need one figure and then all the gimmick stuff?

Wait wait wait... vehicle elemental zones? Hype=gone.

Trap Team's Traptanium Elemental Zones made me mad and determined NOT to get any Trap Masters past the ones I got when I bought the game. Honestly, the only reason I bought so many of the first game's figures was so that I was set for any sequels. The fact that Activision's basically saying that our past purchases don't matter, all that matters is that you buy 9 more $15 figures every game on top of the $75 Starter Pack...

Too soon to tell if I'll get the game or not, but if you need a vehicle of each element... It just makes me so much less likely to get it.

lol why would your hype be gone for new game play and mechanics? The Gimmick gate HAD to be expected and seems to be a corporate imperative. Does it suck yes, but it was to be expected and kind of obvious. It feels less crappy though (to me at least) since I'm sure I'll want all the vehicles anyway. What they've shown looks awesome. I'm not just buying a second round of Giants with transparent weapons but freaking vehicles and different types at that (Boats, Subs, Planes, Rockets, Tanks, etc.).

Come on guys this isn't new...sure it sucks but it's the same song no mater how many time you might want it to change...it's here to stay unfortunately. It's kind of implied if you've been here for a while though.

I can't believe so many people are one on the verge of "leaving the franchise" based on incomplete info. released on Day 1 -- and by "leaving the franchise" I mean making numerous posts about "leaving", buying/getting the stuff, complaining some more, buying/getting more stuff, and then start it all again next year.

Lets say I wanted to play this entire game with ONLY Pop Fizz. Not touch a vehicle. Not touch a Super Charger.

Can that be done? If YES, I would then consider still eventually getting this for the game aspect alone of just having another game to play with all my existing figures.

I can't believe so many people are one on the verge of "leaving the franchise" based on incomplete info. released on Day 1 -- and by "leaving the franchise" I mean making numerous posts about "leaving", buying/getting the stuff, complaining some more, buying/getting more stuff, and then start it all again next year.

Well you will need Hot Streak, but if you are getting the game then you will already have it.

To complete the game 100%, you need a vehicle of every type (land, air and sea) and a vehicle from every element. There are vehicle elemental zones!



Wait wait wait... vehicle elemental zones? Hype=gone.

Trap Team's Traptanium Elemental Zones made me mad and determined NOT to get any Trap Masters past the ones I got when I bought the game. Honestly, the only reason I bought so many of the first game's figures was so that I was set for any sequels. The fact that Activision's basically saying that our past purchases don't matter, all that matters is that you buy 10 more $15 figures every game on top of the $75 Starter Pack...

Too soon to tell if I'll get the game or not, but if you need a vehicle of each element... It just makes me so much less likely to get it.


lol why would your hype be gone for new game play and mechanics? The Gimmick gate HAD to be expected and seems to be a corporate imperative. Does it suck yes, but it was to be expected and kind of obvious. It feels less crappy though (to me at least) since I'm sure I'll want all the vehicles anyway. What they've shown looks awesome. I'm not just buying a second round of Giants with transparent weapons but freaking vehicles and different types at that (Boats, Subs, Planes, Rockets, Tanks, etc.).



I was expecting a "gimmick gate," the gimmick gate being what has been described in the videos: land, sea, and sky vehicles. $30 extra, each $15 piece adding an entirely new way to play? Totally fine - Swap Force was A-OK in my book because of the content added by the additional figures (but only because I bought them at half-price).

I have seriously never experienced the same frustration in a video game as I did playing Trap Team. Yes, the villain mechanic was fun and that's why I bought it, but every time I found a secret, it was like: "Yay, I found a secret! Oh wait, I see three gates of Trap Masters I don't have, so my efforts are entirely worthless. *Grumbles*"

I was seriously hyped this morning, watching the videos. The vehicle sections look fun. But if all but one or two of each type is going to be blocked off because I'm only getting one of each vehicle type, then that isn't worth the $15. Only reason I got Trap Team was that the main gimmick (the traps) was not impeded by the Traptanium elemental zones.

I'll withhold complete judgement until we know more, but from the sounds of it, they'll be blocking off the one reason I'd get the game.

According to sources, no, but you ONLY need a land vehicle to finish the story mode. No need for Superchargers or any other vehicle type.
And you get Instant Hot Streak in the digital versions of the game,so you have that covered for cheaper.

Based on what we've seen, this game isn't asking any more of you than Swap Force did if you purchased at least one of each Swap type (technically the same for Trap Team since there weren't Villain Gates). So if you were o.k. with it in Swap Force you should be good hear. At least this time around we are getting something unique by way of the vehicles. For me that's a step in the right direction at least. I can't wait to see what they have planned for all the different elemental types of vehicles. I'm predicting a Tech walker and an Earth Tank!!!! No evidence just hope.

I'll be fine with Vehicle Elemental Gates as long as there are also regular ones too.

If not then it's just a bad decision just like the Traptanium Gates' one in Trap Team.

Same,but for me it's a whole different reason. Sure,paywall, but the problem it's that it's just three types. If there are many levels,it's bound to get repetitive,especially if we have three every single level. Elemental zones always have a new puzzle,a new plataforming challenge, or just some small objective that distracts. Going through intense action sequences over and over isn't going to stay fresh and cool after a while.

Well, if they go with three vehicle types and all the Elements we will actually still get a lot of possibilities.

Water could have entirely submerged areas, rivers or a mix of the two, for example.
It really boils down to how much unique and different will vehicles prove to be.

And from what I've seen they went quite wild with designs. smilie

You can't go only with a figure throught the main storyline, unfortunately. I thought of that as well. What really worries me is how much of the "on foot" style has been cut in order to make place for vehicles.

Guys, I think there might be a secret fourth type of vehicle.

If you'll notice, there are 3 vehicle types and 20 vehicles total. This would mean it wouldn't be even. I think there might be a fourth type, meaning there would be 5 per type.

Lou did mention a rocket. Maybe we'll get to venture through space?

Look closely. I see to other elements at the top of the poster while I see the other 8 elements down below it. I also think they are doing the thing like they did in Swap Force where the probably put a car down the middle.

Ah, here we go... the Giants poster incident 2: Electric Boogaloo smilie. Then again this image looks far too small to get anything else out of, so... ah who am I kidding, someone's gonna try!
