Yroc seems to think that all hype is good, even if it is about something fake.

Ugh... I'm just going to stop caring until we get some actual news. Clearly, this is just going to be a stupid cycle of BS rumors until something legit from Acti comes out.

He hyped a 60 minute video of him and another youtuber speculating based on nothing on the subreddit. I'll believe it when I see people getting footage care packages, several of them.

Agreed, I love speculation and love to listen to it, but when you start hyping it up like it is news, it's really disappointing.

Yeah, that sounds kinda scummy and attention whore-y. I dunno! Looks like UK Retail has been getting Battlecast news, so I REALLY don't know why we can't just get a press release, but whatever! We'll see soon I guess.

This silence... I don't like it.

Hopefully we will discover something, anything today. Even if it is just on Battlecast.

Well, I mean, the Battlecast pre orders have gone up at several retailers. The only people talking about it though are the UK Retailers. I'd be surprised if we get anything today. I'm sure editing the videos would take a long time to do, plus you have to take into account any embargoes they have to go through. I'd say Monday is the earliest we get something. Unless somebody leaks a figure or two!

Once again, taking it with a grain of salt, but Yroc has been posting stuff on Instagram about heading out. He could just be trying to generate hype just for the sake of doing it, but, he could, and I emphasize could, actually be going to a Skylanders 6 event.

Honestly, I'm surprised anyone still trusts Yroc after all the supposed "leaks" he's pulled. Like that "Nitro Spitfire".

That was a variant, this is the next game in the series... No fan of the game is that ****ing cruel

You haven't seen the temper tantrums some kid youtubers throw in there. Made a habit of checking the Skylanders tag daily on youtube, and discovered quite a few that use videos as forum threads,not to say any names, that somehow get views to whine over the dumbest things supposedly Skylanders related but actually not.

Didn't someone make a fake Skylanders 5 leak last year? I thought I remembered someone posting a picture of a shadowed out game logo on a yellow background.

What I remember is someone stealing ZapNorris' fangame idea for Sky5 and posting it in an actual news site. That was the best of times, that was the worst of times.

Yeah I remember that too. I didn't know if I should feel good for Zap or bad, lol.

Well, he made a convincing enough concept, story and characters, I say that's a win because the point of fangames is to capture the original series feel.

But yeah, it speaks volumes on how people will grasp for straws. And why Acti needs to stop trying to control hype before they lose it altogether.

That's just an issue with the games industry in general. They like to have the element of surprise, but that doesn't work when people are EXPECTING A NEW GAME EVERY YEAR! Give us a solid date after the last figures are released for when we can expect an announcement. That is all they have to do. What is so difficult about this?

----

So, the press event is over... Maybe we'll hear something about it tomorrow? Who knows. All we can do is wait and torture ourselves by looking up the Skylanders tag on Instagram twice an hour... *shudders* So many ****ty memes.

The press event happened? The reveals are usually made at the following day? Oh, now I understand why no news for now.

Yeah, so the only way we will be getting any info this week is if something leaks or we get teased by Acti. Or it's just Battlecast and everyone just face palms in pure frustration.

I keep checking the forum, with disappointment that we have not received any news on Skylanders 6... *sighs*

I am just waiting for me to happen to be offline for 10 hours, and in those 10 hours we'll receive TONS of news and I will be so frustrated because I didn't get to take part in the news finding.

I know what you mean man. I checked the Skylanders tag on Twitter and Instagram about 20+ times yesterday. That's not fun... That tag is filled with some ****ed up ****!

That's happen to me many times. I guess it's because I in Europe,and all reveals and stuff usually take place within usa, so I'm sleep while everybody is busy commenting.

WATER BIRD GUY LEAKED
http://www.calendars.com/Skyla...od201500011644/

HOLY CRAP!!!! Duuuuuuuude. He looks freaking sweet!

Y es,that Skylanders is new.is it true?well it seems to be

You silly,that's---



WHAT

GOLDEN QUEEN FIGURE

COME ON RIDE THE TRAIN

He's wearing armor and seems to be wielding some kind of razor weapon.well,the first oficial bit of información Of sky6, hurray!!

OH MY GOD HE LOOKS COOL!


Also, he has the SSC background art! Maybe that means he's a gimmick lander? I'm glad to see the background art back too!


Also, GQ has a new pose and has the Earth SSC background art. Interesting.


Also, Spyro is in his S2 art pose, but he doesn't have his wing bracers?


@AngelG. That's no sword! IT'S A WING BLADE!

I wonder if he's a gimmicklander? Something to do with the armor maybe?

Quote: Drawdler

That Golden Queen art is new too, isn't it? It might not mean anything like some old Beat Form PF art I remember but...hmm... Either way this new penguin guy looks great and it's fantastic to see another Water character that isn't covered in blue (plus the blue parts on him are closer to navy which we don't see too often).

100% new. This is the old one -




Christ I'm shaking it's 10 at night I thought this was fake

All others but GD and Penguin are old, this just means they're using the new backgrounds now. No gimmicklander for now at least.

Villains featured in the calendar...interesting

Finally...

Our first official leak...

Dude, if we actually get figures of the villains from Trap Team... *claps furiously* You did it TFB! You did it! Holy crap, what a rush!

Villains were featured in Superchargers remember, they just weren't used with Traps. Still, I hope they are trappable again in Skylander six.


Also I can't help but wonder if all of the gimmicklanders will have armor with an elemental symbol on it like this one. Elemental armor? I have a feeling it may just be another way of making new gimmicklanders that are able to access areas that everyone else can't. I hope there's more to it than that. Don't just give us more Trap Masters except with armor instead of weapons.

In the new arts of the water bird and golden queen there seems to be an emphasis in the weapons.

You're right,angelg, I found it weird since GD's focus was on her claws even on her CG model - she uses whatever for the gold spells anyway.

Now, that's a badass penguin!
Really glad to see such a creative design for Water.

I'm not a big fan of the new elemental backgrounds but as long as cards are back, hopefully with the old backgrounds on them, I'll be fine.

Golden Queen's new artwork kinda confuses and "worries" me: I wouldn't like if they relied on something cheap like "villains are now complete Skylanders-like characters"... But this doesn't seem to be the case for everyone since the Chompy Mage still has his Trap Team artwork.
I won't lie, even that penguin looks more like a villain rather than a Skylander to me.

Maybe certain villains got promoted as Skylanders...?
Wonder how they'd deal with traps if that was the case.

I would love to sound more hyped but I'm reeeeeally tired.
So, FIRST OFFICIAL SKYLANDERS 6 NEWS YAAAAAAAAAaaaaaawn.

A NEW SKYLANDER! We have an official leak! Also, that new Golden Queen artwork is intriguing. I have a feeling villains may have a role in this next game.

Did you notice Prism Break's eyes and lips look different? Look at his S1 artwork, then look at this calendar.

I WAS TIRED
EMPHASIS ON WAS
(TFB just barely got us at the moment we were the most restless wow)

I'm drawing a hype train picture right now. Was too lazy on SC and just edited the Skullgirls one,won't do that mistake again.

I already posted the hype train song so Final Fantasy VII Remake it is

They probably only made 8 Villains into actual toys. If they even made them into toys at all! Still, I have been DYING to get my hands on a Wolfgang figure if they ever made one. He is the best character from that game.

Looks like an interesting character. The fact that we have villains gives me hope that Traps will be useful again and they have an excuse to release the Yawn Traps.

Also, this looks like a Legendary variant.

I honestly could care less about the traps... They were a dumb gimmick that shouldn't have existed in the first place! I'm way more excited about the prospect of actual villain toys! That's all I care about.

I think this guy is supposed to be a penguin or something, so maybe he has attacks based on ice?

I care about it because it was a toy they never released in most parts of the world. I need them in my collection and the online prices are too expensive.

They likely won't focus on the traps ever again if the villains aren't trappable in Sky 6.
