We haven't even seen Barbella's gameplay yet.

I don't personally like Barbella. Her game play might be great but her design is so.....bland. We've had human-like characters before but she just takes it up to a point where I find her to be my least favorite character design wise. But her game play might more than make up for it.

Generic is the opposite of unique or creative, as in, "run of the mill" NOT the opposite of interesting. Most generic designs are generic BECAUSE a lot of people like that sort of thing, making it popular, in turn making it profitable, in turn making it everywhere. Although her design doesn't stand out, it still stands out from the crowd (female musclehead, plus is very humanoid), which is why it's not generic. It's boring sure, but it needs to fail stand out FROM THE CROWD to be generic and not just fail to stand out IN GENERAL. Generic equals unoriginal Unoriginal does not necessarily equal boring Therefore, Generic is not necessarily equal to boring You understand? Most things are redone in business because they're successful, this business is entertainment, so if it's been done, it's probably good at entertaining, hence they're doing it again

I dunno. Some people like Barbella, some people don't, let's wait until we see more from her before making any final decisions I say and just change the subject for now.
So... Since we know it's pretty much just going to be the comics at Comic Con this year (which kinda makes sense, honestly), what do you think they'll talk about? Or what do you think the comics will be about? Think they'll serve as a prequel to Imaginators like they did with Superchargers? |

Alright enough bickering over a blurry pic, you lot.
Yroc asked Eric about the footage from SS16 and it's not Academy, they just had the plaque as false advertisement. Howeeever, it still looks like the show graphics, so is TeamTO also working on the CG cutscenes? Also a new blog post in this Mureview site(can't post link) has more pics of SS16, including Hood Sickle's butt. Ok not really, he isn't turned around all the way, but it's a nice view of his purple skin.

That would be pretty awesome, though I'd imagine it'd get confusing for them to work on characters with the traditional Skylanders design and the original voice actors and on their own Skylanders designs with the show's voice actors at the same time. |

CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME!
To anyone who's seen that poster leak from the cruise or whatever, we know that two elements are getting four elements. We also know that every villain Sensei will be from Trap Team. Who and what come in the starter packs for Trap Team? Snap Shot (Water) and Food Fight (Life), and two traps, one Life and one Water. Who's already confirmed to be an extra character? Crash Bandicoot. What element is Crash? Life. 11th villain is Water element confirmed. |

And don't even think about creating a topic about SDCC, apparently we have "too many topics". General Discussion is everything imaginators discussion now.

I know you didn't, but you know someone's going to read your phrase as "they're totally in SDCC guys let's panic and demand for gameplay", which is happening on the game page already. That was aimed at no one in particular.
Also.... HUH. I quoted in the morning that Eric said the video at SS16 isn't Academy, but I went look at the video myself that Yroc posts and at the start you do see the logo that Eric teased, though blurry, very clearly the same purple. Also a few seconds you see the same background that my avatar is from... Oh dear.

Maybe there were multiple videos at the event and Eric was talking about another one.
Don't know. :/ Looking at those photos it's clear that Golden Queen's base is golden as well. I understand the touch but don't like it. It's a very small detail, and motivated, I simply wish there was more coherence between certain features.

Not if this is what we think it is. But this belongs in Academy dicussion.
The thing that still bothers me the most is that the base tops are black. Even if they were just as plain, it'd look so much better if they were a similar color to the edges; jet black just doesn't fit anyone but Hood Sickle as a whole and breaks the palette.

Yeah I agree, the base tops aren't that creative. I would have liked the sides to stay as they are, but add some cool elemental ground cover like the old figures. The plain black kinda reminds me of the SC "portal". *cringe*

Ok, that's definitely Academy.
Yeah, that bothers me as well. A good compromise would have been placing the classic features, such as Undead's skull, Fire's flames and Earth's crystals on top of the new bases. EDIT: ninja'd a bit. Figures are looking more and more like collectors' items, being big, detailed and with more generic pedestals. Though I do notice a lack of painted details compared to Trap Team's.

Yes! The lack of paint detail is maddening! Most of SC characters (except a small few) were quite horribly painted, or not painted. Though I'm liking what I see so far in Imaginators. Golden Queen seems a little plain though. It's hard to tell unless you have the figures in hand.

So true, but at least they made a smart choice with her by using two different types of gold to make the figure look less bland. All the figures I've seen so far are waaaaay better than the majority of SuperCharger's figures and that's probably because TfB uses a different style; but there are some small unpainted details which make me cringe a bit, such as Wolfgang's arrow's tip or King Pen lacking any kind of shading to make his white less boring. I know, that's nitpicking at its best since King Pen's chest plumage is plain white, but it's the kind of special touch I'm expecting from TfB (think about Echo's figure having a metallic effect even if her in-game model doesn't).

Golden Queen is justified, she's also very flat in the game; all the shading is from the engine reflecting stuff off of her. Not too sure about Wolfgang just having light fur on his face instead of his chest though.

The amount of topics getting closed and moved is kinda ridiculous...
But on topic, Golden Queen's figure is good, but the only thing bothering me is her staff being bent. So far it looks like our Storytellers are Jet-Vac Spyro Pop Fizz Stealth Elf Roller Brawl Euptor Wind-Up(???) Freeze Blade(???)

Some of them should be characters from Academy... Not sure about Wind-Up and Freeze Blade, though.
Are those speculations or what...? It would be weird to have a Gimmicklander return in any form. Yeah, bent parts annoy me as well but they are apparently easy to fix (didn't knew it myself until a couple days ago).

Here's a question I don't think we've asked yet: The options we've seen in the creations hub for body parts and gear... We know you'll have to unlock different parts, but, do you think what we've seen will be our starting options? Or will the starting pieces be randomized or something?

Bifrost Prismatic Sparx Gems: 10358 |
#8050 Posted: 00:14:10 22/07/2016
I think they'll just be determined by the elemental Imaginite pieces, plus probably those human heads and obviously the starry set. Weapons definately just start with one and the Gear with nothing if you don't have the right element.
