The actual is a bit less threatening but that's the idea, yes.

Regarding emotional/impressive moments I'd say yes and no.
All the game has a rather different vibe compared to the previous chapters.
The very beginning of the game impressed me, to be fair.

Actually, less threatening isn't what I'd use.

The game tries to pull some heart strings but fumbles too much with it; the appeal seems to be more on the 'wow' factor.

I was talking more about

But yeah I agree with you.

Not sure if this has been posted... It might sound weird (or I'm overlooking things) but I may have just spotted a lightning element. Its in the battlecast trailer, but they don't include light and dark so I'm not sure. Here is the photo:

Spyro confirmed Dragon Type.

That's the Supercharger symbol. That bolt shows up as the damage icon when the character/vehicle is supercharged.

Ooohh I feel dumb now. I haven't played superchargers much.

I just wanted to say, thanks for spoiler tagging. I'm only a few levels in despite getting the game on launch day, I've for the most part dodged this forum because of spoils.

You the real MVP...

This is the no spoiler topic, any real discussion about them untagged goes on the specific thread. Gotta respect who's taking their time to play or waiting for Black Friday.

Still nomore gameplay footage for thrillipede apart from the soul gem preview and the official trailer?

Superchargers Racing actually gives us official artwork for Moneybone, Glumshanks, Cluck, Frightbeard, and Mesmeralda, and I'm wondering if anyone would be able to rip them.

Wow, that's awesome. Haven't seen anyone in LPs actually open the Villain Tours so had no idea.

If they're not pixelated.

I think that's all you really need, otherwise it might spoil him even more.

Usually that's all we tend to get until the character is released.

Does anyone knows at what hour Skylanders Superchargers for IOS will be released?

So I assume that they also have an element? Is there a video or some pictures?

No, they're just listed under villains.

I also went to check at least the Cups to see the changed track for Sea...

Actually, Bifrost, Temple of Arkus is still gonna be in the game, and it's actually fairly different from the new sea track from what I can tell. Is the Arkeyan Forge the same as the Temple of Arkus because it also has Arkeyan robots in it?

No, because that level is based on the Arkus levels from Giants. I mean the level is the same titleset as Rampant Ruins but on daylight,just like Temple of Arkus. Muddy swamp,robot carcasses everywhere, stone ruins every now and then. Really lazy when they could just pull Monster Marsh's assets or something if they really wanted a swamp Sea level.

Saw the artwork,too, it's actually what's used for their head icons on the console version(Mesmeralda's really obvious because her model doesn't have that soft-looking face texture). Buuut on the Wii version the tile's name is blocking half of it,so hopefully someone will scroll though the character select screen slowly enough on video or use the 3DS version where the title is properly separated.

Actually, Temple of Arkus/Rampant Ruins is more based around a jungle theme, not a swamp.

Idk. All I have for proof is a receipt from ordering it. https://m.facebook.com/mykajan...ype=3&source=54

Wow.

Don't look for the new video on SkylandersGame. Someone reached a new low and put a screamer video telling people to raise the volume first.


Look,I'm usually not bothered by them,but you just put that for little kids. There's a level of respect I lost with the Activision PR they're not getting back.Wow, I can't find any nice words for this,this is something an immature jerk would do.

What video?

There's no video. Was it even related to Skylanders?

It's below the sticky on their Facebook as well, and of course,it plays a very quiet ambience so you'll raise it on your own until it happens.
Man, even in tumblr where the age is expected to be above 15 or 17 this is looked down upon. That's not something a professional would do to 6 year olds.

Oh wow, that's... rotten. Little kids could really get scared. I remember experiencing a screamer when I was little, dear god, I almost threw the computer down the table.

What is it?...i can't get it to play for me...all i get is a black screen.

It's a slow camera shot of Level 4's land section, very quiet music,then it blares the speakers with Kaos' laugh with his distorted face on the screen(using that unavaliable camera picture from Trap Team his recording had).

Oh ...kinda what i figured it was...those stupid flash scare tactics.

I know that there was a thread saying that the prices for Superchargers had gone down. I just checked and the prices seem to be the same as they always were, did I they go back up or is it store specific?

GameStop and Amazon dropped Dark Staters to $74.99, and Normal Starters to $49.99, and the Wii and 3DS versions are $64.99 I believe.
Dunno If any others stores did the same.

Ok thanks.

I tested a first-run Nightfall in store to see if she worked, and no, she doesn't work on the 3DS.

Dark editions cost $90 at Costco.

For the record, vgcharts is communicating 100k copies of SuperChargers being sold to date worldwide. It looks incomplete to me and do not know timeframes, just passing along the info.

Trap Team has sold another 200k copies over summer...not too bad. Only 1.3 million behind now.

Swap Force is now the best selling game in the series!

I guess that's because it started the "new" era of the franchise.

Or, heaven forbid...people voted with their dollars because it was the best game so far

I happen to think that is so far the peak of the franchise, both in frenzy and excitement. We've been tapering for the last few years.

Well, it's a kids' game, bells and whistles like next-gen graphics will make people suddenly change their minds about following this. Though,it's why the series is in good standing now, as much as I have legit complaints about the game I can't really change the past or be naive and think it would've been better if we stuck to DemonWare - it wouldn't have at all.

DemonWare might not have been the way to go but they should work more on textures rather than lighting/metallic effects.
Lights and shadows are cool but they won't replace a well crafted texture.

V.V. indeed makes the series evolve and even reach higher peaks (SWAP Force had AMAZING characters and SuperChargers has an OUTSTANDING plot) but they struggle at making a complete and coherent Skylanders experience.

If their next game will have SuperChargers's game and SWAP Force's toy line it will undoubtedly be the best of the series.
Oh and keep the characters the focus!
You kinda missed that with the last game but it's no big deal considering the rest.

VV is great at what TfB is bad at while TfB is great at what VV used to be good at.


Now only if they could just team up, ya know?

Well... There are still things both developers never actually got right but yes, that would be the best soluction.

I can only dream about the possible outcome... *_*

I'll be simple and succinct: they're both getting better at many things, but also slipping away from some of the "core" aspects that fans appreciated about the earlier efforts. Not sure if it's a case of simple fatigue, but I'm sure there's a strand of truth somewhere in there.
