I've always thought that they came out with Ignitor's true name long after his Skylander's one.
Would have been cool if he retained his original name though, to make him stand out even more.

That's exactly why I like Ember's name: it is a fire-related word but also sounds like a realistic name for a girl living in a fire-themed land.

Any proof on that?

It being PS4 exclusive, for one. And that presumably means there's some deal with Sony going on.

It could be like Boba Fett with DI. Also, Crash has been on multiple systems with his games before, so I don't see why we shouldn't get him on all systems.

Darn. A character that I wanted to be in for so long is now causing me so much stress now that's he actually here. Why couldn't he just have been released in a single pack to make things easier?

Crash is considered a Playstation mascot by pretty much everyone. If there wasn't something going on with Crash's rights and Sony, then I'm pretty sure they would have made Crash a regular Skylander and not a guest star.

Really, this all depends on whether Activision or Sony own the rights to Crash. If Acti, then there'd be no problem with Crash being multi-platform. If Sony owns him, then he'd be PS4-exclusive for sure. At the moment it is pretty vague on who owns him, though things kind of point to Sony for things like Crash being teased by him in advertisements and a demo of the first game being in Uncharted. I'm betting we'll know for sure at E3, it ain't long now.

By the looks of things and the in-game appearance of NPC models, I assume this game will act like Superchargers "never happened".....?

Good!

Not that I have much, but I'm thinking maybe I should just sell all my Supercharger figures. Would be the only game I have nothing to show for if I did. Not that that would really be a bad thing....

It seems as if Crash is still owned by Activision.

Now I just gotta cross my fingers that I'll actually be able to use him.

Right now it is incredibly vague if Crash is really still owned by Activision. Game developers have been known to lie out their bee-hinds to keep things secret.

I assumed the Supercharger versions are just the Skylanders when they wanted to have a little fun and drive

Someone on reddit threw that there's possibly maybe an exclusivity deal with Sony and Activision and the Crash guest star is included, but it's probably just speculation. But if that was the case and there was a real Crash game coming along, maybe the internet won't swallow itself in rage.

I hope there isn't a game with it, it's funny to watch people get salty lol

Yeah, but it also means coming down on us with harassment and the black sheep of AAA because everyone is stupid and doesn't know what Guest Star means for the series, so they're assuming Crash will get IP fused like Spyro.

That, and the fact that Skylanders started out as a Spyro game that branched out into its own thing after a while in development.

I'm seriously torn.

On one hand I would like if Sony announced a new Crash game, not only because I would most likely buy it but also because it would shut up many ignorants who only know this series either because it killed Spyro or had Donkey Kong and Bowser in it.

But on the other... I am extremely curious on knowing how much immature the Internet could get for something so small.

I still think they will release a game, though, otherwise Sony would simply crown itself as the King of Trolling since it has apparently been hinting at it for a while.

One of the big things thats got me convinced is that Cortex's VA, Lex Lang, not so subtly hinted at him playing Cortex again.

I believe he said it wasnt Cortex

Yeah, I don't believe that.

Quote: Bifrost

Ember's name fits her a bit better than,say, Ignitor or Eruptor since it feels hers. It's not random fire word about their power, you'd think someone would get that name in Skylands.

Still salty that Ignitor's real name is Ignatius and it'd be better if he actually used it instead.

I am wondering, is there any official canon about the Skylander naming process? I assume that they are code names which ar given to them like in GI Joe as it'd be impossible to give people such appropiate names at birth.

Just asking as I remember in Splat's bio it mentions a legendary ancestor "Fluty Hoofdancer" and I was thinking that everyone in Splat's race probably has a first and last name like this. Splat's real name is probably something just as ethnic sounding. And now I see there is this "Ignatius" thing which I didn't know about, but seems to confirm my theory about code names.

I always thought that the Skylander's names were like their superhero names. For example, Gill Grunt's real name could be Finn or James. Gill Grunt is just there because that is a cool name based off of who he is as a hero.

It's inconsistent for each Skylander Some of them use their real name (Spyro, Cynder, Hex, Countdown, Spitfire and Riptide) While some o with an alt. name. The Swappers, Ghost Roaster and others.


@Chompyking. My headcanon is that GG's real name is Gilligan Grunt and Gurglefin is his father.

We only know real names from those who have it on book backstories. Ghost Roaster is named Olav, Ignitor is Ignatius, those who HIHD mentioned are known to be real names, Countdown is an exception because that's the only name he knows. Everyone else is either unconfirmed or a title to hide their identity/easier to remember.

HIHD?

The rift engines powers I believe were only a temporary upgrade in order to fight the Sky Eater and it's power. They most likely gave up the power or can summon it at will.

And I'd say at least keep the characters.

Nope. Not confirmed if it will be revealed at E3 but definitely in the works MMW.

Oh wow! That's... That's gonna rile some people up! Makes sense, though, if the game isn't coming out this year. Hopefully, there will be a tease or something. It'd be horrible PR on Sony's part to know that there is a new Crash game in development but not tell anyone.

Sony's like, "Let's show them Skylanders instead! Then, next E3, give them what they want."

No Sony... That's not how the Internet works

Considering the last two times you confirmed stuff, I'm more concerned if you're not risking any NDAs that way :c Unless, with the reddit rumor, this spread more further than it's supposed to already and it's not just press that knows.

I'm sure some people will demand to cancel the game and just become a living tantrum

This just occured to me:
It's possible that Crash will work on all systems, but will be sold exclusively with Playstation versions of the game for a limited time. A single pack would then be sold sometime in 2017.
I'm saying this because we've seen Sony do something similar with Disney before. When Disney Infinity 3.0 came out, there was a special edition with Boba Fett that was only available on PS3 and PS4. Boba Fett was then released in a single pack later on.

This is what I'm really hoping.

Remember that Activision said very recently that Crash is still in their hands. So, he will only be PlayStation exclusive if Sony made a contract with Activision (or if they got the rights suddenly).

I just really hope I'll be able to play with him. I've been a big fan of his series for a long time.

Wait, is E3 today?!

E3 is this coming Tuesday to Thursday.

Some teams are spilling the beans early, however, so keep an eye on the news.

So 3 a.m here, great! If Sony really has anything Skylanders related then I will se it 11 hours after everyone else... thanks school.

Cheer yourself up, Deja Vu, it could be worse.

For example, you could have the last University exam on Tuesday and not be able to enjoy the conference live.
You could have had it on Saturday, on Monday, even of Wednesday but nope, it's exactly the day after the Sony press conference.

At least I'll have something to keep me busy before I can access the forum again...

Better, you could be up until night at uni,having to see this from a phone and really bad internet, until thursday. You can touch it but it'll be out of your grasp until it's late and you can't enjoy it as much. Tests are just the extra for this and next week.

Seeing how you're describing it, it's not that bad for me at all. There isn't really an University of that kind here so I'm probably even luckier than most users on here. I have to stop complaining so much :I

Speaking of spilling the beans, EA already let Titanfall 2 gameplay slip by playing it on accident during rehearsal. Keep eyes open on all fronts.

Maybe we'll get to see some new Skylanders early.
