What if Adventures are procedurally generated dungeons/arenas?

Please yes please yes please yes

Probably unlikely.
But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be friggin' awesome.

Second thought: What if Adventures are basically just the bonus missions from Swap Force?

Quote: AdamGregory03

Some people have been using the fact that there was tape on the placeholder box as a leak for battle mode btw.

Kids being kids again, despite zero clues. Could be the Crash AP or an unnanounced one, or even a racing pack as suggested. Even if battle mode came back, they wouldn't go back to Battle Packs; useless-to-PVP magic items in a glorified triple pack.

That B-Roll footage we saw with Cortex and Krankcase looks like it's an Adventure, so it gives me the impression that Adventures are basically open-worldlike dungeon crawlers.

That's not true because Swap Force is one of my least favorites soooo...

It could be new racing expansions lol. (considering we get all the courses built-in.) (they need to sell vehicles, otherwise the newcomers and those who skipped SC will be left in the dust, figuratively and literally)
OR, it could be unannounced adventure packs.

I HIGHLY doubt that

Theres an edit button, you know.

My god, there's like 10 double posts on every page. How many times do you people have to be reminded?

I'd say we've had to remind people about 50 times already. Maybe more.

I like the environments in this game . Cool little dragon thing at the back .

Your next reminder is to spoil level names.
I feel bad for Buuzer if there's worse I'm just not fast enough to catch.

Could be but from what I understood they are directly connected to the levels themselves, instead of being accessed from a separate menu.

Don't know though, these are just guesses based on what I heard from you guys.

Speaking of zero respect for spoilers, don't use the youtube tag if you want to go in blind. The usual suspects put the spoilers in the title. I might have to cut my daily look at new videos once Xbox One wallpapers come out.

What I pulled out of the Achievement List and jotted down.

Strangely, in SkyDad's Gamescom-related footage, there were pieces of Gear labeled "Uncommon", unlocked from the same color of Imaginite as the Common pieces (blue).

Could be possible that the new rarity label mentioned in the list is a subset of Mythic (with even higher rarity than most Mythic pieces), similar to the above.

It's also worth noting that...

the 7 Adventures seem to be split into 3 types.
Dungeons, gladiator/battle arenas, and town/city "liberation" (possibly defence, similar to Kaos' Doom Challenge).

I expect that

I feel like they probably left a lot out of the achievement list. Could it possibly be updated? I don't think it could.

there is only one achivment i'm interested in right now

the arena battles are similar to or the same as previous arena challenges (like from SG, SSF, and STT), and the defence challenges are similar to or the same as the KDC.

However,

I have no idea what dungeons could be. IIRC, a vehicle mode was confirmed a while back, but I don't think this "dungeon" mode is about vehicles. Because of this, there could be other modes not listed in the achievement list. I think The Golden Arcade could also unlock an arcade-themed bonus mode with several mini-games.

Spoiler for the sake of it being a spoiler, I guess.

Feh, I'm kinda annoyed that if I want to get the Kaos figure, I'll have to make a second preorder in another shop to get it.
Here's hoping I can collect the figure and then just refund the game in another branch of the same shop. Lol.

Seeing as though Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky is my favourite video game, that would be awesome.

If there is a randomly-generated level mode, then I'm hoping for a level creator mode too. It shouldn't be hard to include if there's already a random level generator, and would make perfect sense considering Imaginator's main gimmick is a character creator.

everything is in the spoiler

I live in the Netherlands and the game shops here know nothing about a kaos figure. They know nothing about the other figures too. Only the price of the starter pack is known. Of course I pre-ordered a starterpack. Assuming I know already more then they do. When the launch date comes closer I'll ask again about kaos.

"Robot Hood", as HQ as I could get.


And thanks to EgoWhity, we have the Options menu (note that the first picture is 2 different screenshots patched together, just to show all of the options.)


Second picture, the Controls

Interestingly, the D-Pad emotes appear to be Imaginator-only. L1 is no longer co-op teleport/seatswap, but hint or M.A.P., the latter of which I'm guessing is only available in the hub world.

The MAP hint must be like the blue lines in SC, which is fine by me being optional since it annoyed a bit when it tried to make you go to the wrong objective by prioritizing Pandergast or whatever.

Huh, there's an ingame manual now.

that is technically a spoiler

Quote: Bloxz

What, exactly?

maybe someone didnt want to know

Wow, they added lots of options this time.

Also... "Network Status"...?
Sorry, which online functionalities have been confirmed by now?
I only remember Racing, and I'm not even sure about it.

I think M.A.P. could be an acronym for something like "Main Academy Palace".
It has always given me that impression.

Can anyone direct me to the URL for any of the figure pictures on the Skylanders website? I'm using them for something but I can't find where they were posted here.

Only Racing, but considering there's incompatibility depending on the console and region between players, it's a quick way to double check.

Skylanders Academy has been labeled distinctly from the MAP in secret Imaginator parts, so it's not the same area.

that you can change your difficulty in this game at any given time

But we've been able to do that since Swap Force, it's not really a spoiler.

Oh, didn't knew it, thanks!

So they are two distinct places, one of which is accessed directly from any level if no Skylander is on the Portal... And that's the M.A.P..
But why return to the M.A.P. if it isn't our main hub?

Maybe you could start from the Academy itself once you complete a level, traverse this M.A.P. to reach the following one and then simply come back to the "entrance" of said level in case you ran out of Skylanders.
If that's the case, the open-world area must be truly big.

YAS.

Yeah, I think I speculated that the Academy is an utilities hub, with your side activities and whatnot, and MAP is the travel hub, maybe with some secrets but you don't have to go large distances to reach the sidequests. Just speculation though.

"Adventurer" is Normal difficulty in SSC. Most likely the same in SI.

L3 (clicking LS) has no functionality. In SuperChargers, it did have a function for Vehicles (honk the horn), so in the Skylanders controls, it says that there is no functionality. Same thing here, since Vehicle controls most likely show up in Racing Mode, where it does have a function.

It's just an option. There is literally nothing being spoiled by that.

Emotes are back, yay! They were such a nice detail!
