Uhhh... Does anyone know what this is about?

Probably something for Academy.

Yeah, with Imaginators gone gold it's far too late to shoot a live action commercial at this point, so Academy.

Karla Braun is either director or one of the executive producers from the looks of her main webpage.

She produced the short Cartoon Netwok video of Jeremy Shada (voice actor of Finn from Adventure Time) opening SuperChargers Packs.

Chopscotch is listed as "Halloween Chopscotch", she and Steel Hood Sickle will ne released in november, according to the information my friend got today

New Imaginators Let's Play below featuring gameplay of King Pen, Ember, Chopscotch and more

Finally some official videos. One can only hope Meet the Skylanders comes soon after.

Also, first time we're seeing locked Sky-Chis I think. There's a lock over the meter as the difference.

Welp, pre-ordered the Crash Edition on amazon and it says it's coming on the 18th... yay. I have prime and amazon usually delivers waaaay earlier than the date they give you, now I hope that it'll be like always or else I'll go insane.

id like to thank god and jesus

I haven't watched that video yet because I don't want spoilers... But it also doesn't look like there's anything we haven't already seen, so I'll probably check it out later.

Wow his narration is stilted today. He doesn't HAVE to put EMPHASIS on pointless WORDS it just SOUNDS annoying.

He looks so adorable now

That's really cool how Cortex's soul gem ....



Think we've seen this but it's still fun...
Fire imaginators plans lol

Painyatta looks amazing!

Holy...

the Crash Level sounds long...

Like... the longest level in the game.

*smiles big*

Saw the video and OMFG! YOU NEED ALL THE GODDAMN BOXES!?!?!?! Seems like my nerves will be demolished once again

Wait, what boxes?

Crates, I always called them boxes.

So you mean in the Crash level?
(And I used to do the same )

Yeah, you need all of them to get Cortex' Soul Gem (just how you needed all boxes to get a Diamond in the Crash games).

I really like the look of painyatta, going to watch the video now

That's actually really cool imo. I'm assuming that

Reveal Spoiler

Crash's Soul Gem is in the Chilli Pepper Run?

No actaully,

That was a really nice video. I'm a little puzzled about the Sensei Shrines for unlocking Sky Chis. Am I suppose to visit it once for each new Sensei to permanently unlock Sky Chi access for each Sensei? Sounds tedious, but the unique animation for each Sensei sounds interesting.

Aku Aku acknowledges that Crash and Spyro have met before.
"Oh noes. this is terrible! The Spyro in Skylanders isn't the same Spyro back in 2004! It all takes place in another universe and T4B and VV just screwed up the entire timeline of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro!" (that was sarcasm)

I think I'm gonna save the crash level for a while and play it once I've gotten over the skylanders part of the game .

Looks like it'll be great to save to the very end to get me hyped for the remastered crash games . I never played them properly my self when I was young, just played the multiplayer games with some friends.

^ I was confused about the sky chi system too, but I think I like it. Set locations is a nice idea. Also are the sky chi's technically the senseis soul gems?

We've already seen start-to-finisg gameplay of it. It's like 30 mins.

We haven't actually seen start to finish gameplay yet.

Cortex' is in the chilli pepper run and you need to get all boxes there to get his Soul Gem.

So

You need to get all the Crates inside the Run, or the whole level?

IMO something to reference the Tawna Tokens from Crash 1 would have been cool. Oh well.

You don't need to

Well, Lou said there was more then one Chilli Pepper Run, and we've seen the beginning to the first one, and that was about 30 mins.

At this rate it might end up being Swap Force's hour and half long.

I wasn't a fan of how long they were in SF, but it could make up for

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm ok with that . I do prefer more levels that are shorter though.

There seems to be a lot of SF and SC like mini games/challenges in these levels . Which again I'd prefer a shorter consistent run through with 2 or so side bits like elemental gates , but I'll survive .

I might just not do all the challenges first time I play through so I can experience the story flow a bit better.


I'm playing through SF again right now and I do actually need to take a break in between levels when I'm completing everything in each level lol . Long levels are a little Tiring lol( not in the bad way ) .

Yeah but Return of the Dragon King implies Skyro did some stuff from the previous series and doesn't remember(though most likely not the same person), that would probably include meeting Crash during their cameos.

They're similar, but Senseis have both Sky-Chi attacks and Soul Gems.

Also, Chopscotch quote (after beating Gong Battle):

Also I really liked King pens quote at the start..

Hey, there was a weird detail I noticed on the Xbox Store today. Imaginators was on the Store and the listing goes live one day before the game comes out. Don't know if that means anything or not... They said that they weren't doing a digital only version this year, but it seems weird that the game goes live early.



Here ya go!

It will have a block on it, it's so people can start downloading it early and then play it as soon as the release date hits but before than they won't be able to play it, it'll come up with a error message or some sort of message and kick you out of the game.

Looks like they are sticking with the health progression started in Swap Force.
From what I've gathered these are starting health:
Sorcerer Imaginator 260
Quickshot Imaginator 240
Ninja Imaginator 230
Knight Imaginator 300
Dr. Neo Cortex 280
King Pen 300
Ember 260
Golden Queen 270
Tri-Tip 370
Crash Bandicoot 150 (2+ Lives)
Chopscotch 310
Kaos 280

That Pain-Yatta's image is soooo becoming my profile pic, tomorrow.

Don't think I'll watch the video because spoiler, but I'm glad to see you guys excited for what it was shown and hey to hear Thumpin' Wumpa Islands will have lots of content.

That let's play really doesn't show us anything we don't already know, aside from that aforementioned Pain-Yatta icon.

Sounds like it shows new abilities and dialogues though, and I would like to have them as surprises if possible.
But they aren't terrible spoilers like knowing the potential lenght of the game, so don't worry about my weird precautionary measures.

Hoping for the "Meet the Skylanders" videos to be uploaded soon, but something tells me they will take a while.

Spoilers for guarantee. Talking about the video.

Huh, that introduction to that big enemy on Mushroom River didn't exist. Oh, and one of the songs was a remix of Cutthroat Carnival.

It did, not a spoiler. They always skipped the Splatterpillar introduction or instructed players to... Even if there's literally no spoiler there, it's just the enemy doing a backflip.

And oh, that's the first time I saw a Shrine animation. Pretty cool.

I like how they showed off the beginning cutscenes of every level besides the one in Mushroom River... The only one we haven't seen in full (uninterrupted) yet. Brilliant

I also love the Skylanders' personalities and voice lines this time around. Not a dull character that I can see.

Uh...104 messages...anything new?

I made this post in S&N I think you might want to read it.

//forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=132293

I mean, we got the confirmation of a new variant called Steel Hood Sickle and a video was uploaded by the official Skylanders YouTube channel that had some new details like "Cortex Zones" and a partial picture of Painyatta.

Just gameplay from skylanders that didn't really show anything to brag about

TBH I hope Skyro and Classic Spyro aren't one and the same. I mean, its ok if they are, but I'd just prefer not. I do like the idea of Skyro having the same adventures as Classic Spyro, but with all the worlds being in Skylands and a few other Skylanders joining him.

As for LoS Spyro? Please DON'T MAKE HIM THE ONE AND THE SAME!
