I hope this is a sign that means they're quitting (or at least taking a break) while they're ahead. I like the game franchise, I really do, but one game a year, and several figures? That gets way expensive fast. Usually they announce a new one by now, so I'm hoping this is a sign they are taking a break for a year or two.

For the love of god GM78 and CMB spill this enough on the Skylanders section. SC was announced in June. This game was already announced as happening at the start of the year, have some patience.

Yeah, my post kind of implied I have LOTS of patience. Like I said, I think they're releasing these games way too close apart from each other. I'm willing to wait another two or so years for a new Skylanders game. (Heck, I don't even have Swap Force or up yet.)

Well, more dev time is always good, but Activision ain't having any of that. Bet the devs would love not to rush a game out of the door so often, though.

Yearly releases on Activision's big franchises are a given. If the new Call of Duty hasn't been announced then I wouldn't expect Skylanders details yet.

Or heaven forbid they're actually giving the devs an extra year to make the game. But I strongly doubt that. Hell, knowing ActiBlizz's strategies, it's only a matter of time before Beenox officially joins the rotation and we cycle TFB/VV/Beenox with 3 year development windows. <.<;

Yup, that's possible if they optimize porting and don't need Beenox for the smaller jobs, since Acti also likes to outsource everything. At least they seemed to learn over the years, since their work on Trap Team 3DS used a lot of N-Space's positives and a pretty darn good game from what people say; they at least have a grasp of a Skylanders game though with a ton of lazyness hindering them(god Racing is so full of cut corners).

Skylanders 6 has already been confirmed, and it's being developed by TFB.

But with Vicarious Visions kicked out we can OR expect 2 years between every game OR every year an even more rushed game.

VV aren't kicked out, Kevin.

No? hmm i really thought so, i readed something about it on this forum.

Probably from all the constant negativity that was shoved around like no tomorrow by users with no backups to their claims.

VV is still in business, their CEOs only left the company.

Yeeeh... i think its okay to complain a bit about stuff, really i understand why... but i don't get the VV hate, of course they have their flaws but TFB has their own big flaws too.
Anyway its good that Activision didn't quit VV (or vice versa)

Yeah, I'm kinda happy the Bala Bros left but would have been really sad if the entire V.V. was taken out.

They gave a lot to this series and I can't wait to see which direction they will take in the future.

TBFH, I feel like, of either Developer, VV would be the one to bring up open world

I have to fully agree.
Just like no one other then them would have had the idea to introduce vehicles the way they did.

But I do expect TfB to take advantage of the introduction of online.
As I already said in another thread I think V.V. is the one making the series advance as a whole but TfB is the one taking those new features and enhancing them properly.

Just a personal opinion of course.

Yeah, VV have been good at showing us new ideas - like jumping, better graphics, and of course vehicles.

I personally prefer VV, but I'm pretty bias because of my love for SW.

I never got the whole "VV vs TFB" thing... It seemed pointless. I love Spyro's Adventure, but I also like Swap Force. I didn't think Superchargers was the best, but I also didn't care for Trap Team. Both developers are capable of making good and bad decisions when it comes to the Skylanders franchise, but I never flat out preferred one to the other.

I haven't played TT, but I base my distaste toward TFB on how badly Giants was for me. I do prefer TFB characters, however.

I get your point, though. In the end both are capable of great things!

Giants wasn't that bad. Cutthroat Carnival is my favorite level in the entire series. Trap Team is abit of an acquired taste for some people, though. Plus, it's really hard to come by any traps besides Water. So, if you do pick it up, just be aware that the traps themselves are expensive as hell on eBay

Yeah, I tried :3 When TT was announced I had a longgg break from the series, so I ended up buying SC a month or so ago since that's what was in the shops. I kinda wish I had TT, but the villain aspect isn't that appealing to me anyways. The price of the traps put me off completely

So yeah, I intend on buying a Playstation console and some of the classic Spyro games instead - when I get the money of course!
