When Imaginators was first announced, I wanted to get it. The character creation looked really unique, and the gameplay would hopefully make up for Superchargers. But as the months go by, and all we're seeing is the character creator shuffled in with some levels and Senseis, it makes me wonder: Will there be side modes?

I know that Racing has been confirmed to return, but I think they only did that to make sure that fans wouldn't get angry for Vehicles having little support. There's been nothing else revealed for alternate modes, such as the beloved Arena Battle. One of the reasons I disliked SSC so much was that there was no post-game content for only characters.

I want to want Imaginators, but so far all the devs have been telling us is that the character creator is our post-game content. The story mode is nice, but there appears to be nothing to make me want to use my collection in the game. There’s suspicion that older characters will unlike new items for the Imaginators, but I don’t want just that.

TFB, don’t make the same mistake that VV made and focus too much on the gimmick. Anyone with me here?

We don't know yet, they always took until the later cons to reveal everything along with the Academy footage. We have plenty of jumping to conclusions here already because of the element changes to panic over this as well, it's a whole month until Gamescon.

We usually don't see any side modes until at least Gamescom, which is still weeks away. The series prides itself on tons of different activities to do besides story mode, so there are definitely more modes.

I really wish a Skylanders game would have the same level of content as Swap Force again.

Absolutely agree.

Personally the extra modes SWAP Force offered wasn't that interesting, but the overall content (and quality) was top notch.
I think it's safe to assume that SuperChargers was a big experiment: they pushed the limits of the franchise to see customers' reactions and understand what worked, what didn't, what could have been done again and what should be forgotten.

So I'm expecting other game modes, aside from Racing.
If I had to take a guess I'd say some kind of Arenas, Challenges for at least the Senseis and I dare to say Battle Mode's great return.
They are seemingly taking the best from all the previous entries, so why not?

I really just want Arenas back...more than anything. They were my favorite way to grind new characters and a quick way to get in and play.

Here's hoping for PvP, there isn't a reason to not bring it back.

As long as there's more post-game content than in Superchargers I'll be happy.

Skylanders has never, I repeat, NEVER shown off the extra modes till around Gamescom. Be patient! I'm sure it'll be fine.

Also, on the PVP thing... I'm sure a fighting game mode with 300+ characters would work out JUUUUUUUUST FINE! Even more if you count the Swaps as individual characters. Maybe it can work in some crazy way, but they already seem like they have a lot on their plate with the Creation stuff.

I'd toss out Racing to have Arena battles back.

Then what are you going to do with vehicles?

Hit. The. Nail. On. The. Head.

And generally speaking, they RARELY ANNOUNCE ALL game content. But us loyalists are getting tired of being burned on content depth...

What about pvp?

I hope for some kind of randomize mode. The randomized arena, vehicle arena and the Sky bandit quests from Tessa's in Superchargers are a nice addition, to bad you can only do them 3 times in a day, Why?(sadface)

I would love to see battle arenas make a return. (heck, I wouldn't mind seeing some fan favorite arenas make a return.
plus latly, I've been replaying the older Skylanders games and they do bring back memories on how the series grew with each new gimmick. plus I would love to see the return of heroic challages to power up my Skylanders like they did in giants and Spyro's adventure.

I want adventure packs again

this...so much this....heck, if it's even possible I would LOVE to see the old adventure pack items unlock new levels ( I'll be happy if they do the screen clearing nukes again though....with TT's doing so for the first time ever )

Yeah like unlocking

Vatheks dragon parts
Captain dread beard pirate clothes
Occulous eye ball ( dark light crypt )

Honestly, one thing I really wanted in SSC, which was never delivered, was a VEHICULAR battle arena mode. And also, vehicular friggin pvp, in demolition derby-esque style

So was any other modes unveiled at GamesCon

no you dont, you dont want to pay for 4 adventure packs with 4 short levels. that will cost you more than the starter pack...

No modes at Gamescon, but we saw these things called Adventures in the achievement list. No details on what they are but there are a good bunch of locations.

You know, it got me thinking. What if they bring in the old adventure packs again from SSA and Trap Team and since they're also bringing back racing mode with all of the race tracks unlocked (I want to see the actual Toys for Bob version of each track) we might get adventure packs from SWAP Force as well. Most of us think it will be least likely but it might be a very nice touch for Veteran Play...

Oh Wait. You guys are talking about it right now. Dang it. I thought I might be the first one to point it out

Adventures are less fun the third time around. We got the SSA adventures in Giants. In case you haven't noticed, they tend to support something longer if there's stock. Probably the reason the same old tracks in the last game are back---to help peddle the plastic. It would've impressed me if we got NEW track content.

It would be awesome for them to bring all the old adventure packs back! I really, really doubt it, but would have been brilliant!

I think they'll be at least one basic arena/battle mode of some sort. Superchargers gets a lot of hate for not having any battle modes, though it did have the Racing Mode as its side-mode, and even if you didn't like it, that's a pretty big mode to include. Imaginators should have something.

yeah, I keep hoping to see new levels based on the old adventure items...like a real pirate stage for Pirate Seas ( IE, fighting pirates across ships & islands, no random card games ); new missions in Dragon's Peak, Darklight Crypt, Sunscraper Spire, Midnight Museum & Tower of Time; whatever they can come up with for Sheepwreck Island & Empire of Ice; a new adventure in the Mirror of Mystery battling Evilon's forces; and a new take on Nightmare Express combining elements of both TT versions and the Bandit Train ( non side scrolling areas that is... )

Now that's one thing that will make a huge buck for Skylanders Imaginators. I almost like you've revisit the levels except it's a sequel.
