I might go to target in an hour or two. I'll keep an eye out for stuff.

I might go to TRU and Target tonight.... Hopefully Ivan get some stuff early or atleast see them!

The dialogue implies it's just the Undead realm, so dunno. Unless it's like the SC quests where it's generated every day.

No its not. Its not ra0ndomly gener0ated.

That's super weird! Again, maybe it's just the Undead Realm that's like that. Are the Realms at least large?

I think she said they are about an hour long, so I'd say yes (pretty sure she only has access to the Water and Earth ones as of now).

Maybe it's a PS4/XBOX ONE exclusive feature?
I think ShadowStorm has the Wii U version of the game, and that platform might not be powerful enough to substain all that randomly generated content.
Don't know, it's seemed confirmed judging by people's reactions about the latest FGTV video.

Did anyone notice air strikes sky chi gameplay in that gameplay

Arachnid set is amazing.

Best set so far !!! I've been really hoping for insect like parts. The extra legs as the backpack is an awesome idea to add more arms. Hope there's some more stuff like this

i really want to make a dark smasher imaginator with the spider legs, that would be awesome

*breathing intensifies*
SPODER WAIFUUUUUUUU

So, that's two things they shamelessly lied about then? Adventure Packs and RNG Realms? This is pretty concerning.

All systems are the same. If not. It woulve been told already. There would be no reason to have random generated worlds. 41 console and not for the other. If it would have been too powerful that would be more loading time or a separate loading screen. But there can be no way that this future would be implemented in two consoles and left out on the other one

Adventure Packs aren't smart bombs as said in the interview, they just give gold.

I also really, REALLY like how they made the elemental realms randomly generated. It shows that they really do listen to fan suggestions over the years, and it offers even more replay value. I'll be looking forward to getting new Skylanders even more now since it'll be more fun to level them up not knowing what I'll come across along the way.

Ummmm randomly generated??? I wish...

Paul said some parts will be different each time though. The islands are different every time you enter, right?

Don't forget, we could still be getting a Day One Patch. I know adding all of that in a single patch is weird, but it is still possible

Ill have to watch this

It's in the first 5 minutes of the video

Seems odd for the major mechanic of the realms to be bugged on release though. Keep those in mind however, and the videos close(this is the one where they say APs are smart bombs). These are genuine lies this time, not vague "oh your old skylanders will keep up to speed" from SF.

Perhaps the generation is tied to the game's servers? It's a bit of a stretch but they wouldn't explicitly lie and specifically point out that "the cool part about realms is that they're different each time"

Dozen Dangers... do all words from an Undead themed level have to start with the same letter?

Alliteration is TFB's drug, every opportunity they get to use a whatever name they use it.

Listening back to the video, it definitely seems like he was just talking about that specific Realm and wasn't really talking about any other Realm. YAY! NO LIES!!

yeah ok the realm has indeed some random generated stuff, but the main objective seemed the same, because, in the water and earth realm there's one soul gem on the end, so i do think, MAYBE, there should be some parts that have to remain the same. so yeah... but i can understand why this would be (somewhat) randomized, idk how much it will be random, because i haven't seen multiple runs. so I can't judge. but i don't think it'll be a huge difference.

I wouldn't be so sure. The Krankcase b-roll has SEVERAL similar areas, though with all the cuts it's hard to say if it's exactly the same. It does have corridor -troll radio - staircase to an empty outlook, however.



edit: posts krankcase video, actually described cortex's.

You know what mate???

Well? you don't?? well.. damn..

but, anyways. we'll just wait.. that's it.. no biggy.

Upon further consideration, I've decided that maybe, since I usually play two levels a day on a normal playthrough, that I might do one Story level and one Elemental Realm level a day... Along with some of the side quests.

DUDE SRSRLY!:!?!?!?1>?!#>@#@?#/!

I went and pre-ordered based on the info. we just got saying it was random. I had originally canceled my pre-order but all this new news made me reconsider. lol less than an hour later BAM!!!! Well played Activision, well played.

I'm not expecting a Minecraft-level of randomness, of course.
There must be fixed parts, but maybe certain paths, enemy placing and treasures could change.

Even if they told me the game had mecha fights and ended like a Gainax anime, I wouldn't preorder. Trusting Activision with your money before reviews are out is not a good idea, and from the looks of it Kaos is going to be sold even without preorders on day 1.

Totally spit-ballin here but maybe (OMG I'm diggin deep here) certain game features need to be "turned on" when you connect to the internet for the first time. Some kind of auth-patch. Or it could be something that changed after the product was distributed. Since none of the people that have gotten the game early have been able to patch or connect (since servers aren't live yet) maybe certain features aren't active yet....Yeah I know it reeks of desperation lol.

True that. I just found out that my game may come on the 18th, which is four days after release. I know it's not specifically Acti's fault, but I didn't pre-order the game to get it four days after everyone else.

I pre-ordered as a "just in case" thing.

I have like $92.......


I'M COLLECTING BOYZ!!!!! LET'S DO THIS!!!!

The in-game narration does indicate that the Undead Realm is randomly generated, but there's no indication that this applies to anything else, so it could be a feature exclusive to that Realm. It's possible that each Realm has its own exclusive feature.

I'm only pre-ordering for free Kaos. I wasn't going to get it day 1 after all the crap dropped with non-resettable crystals, no arenas, no pvp, on online co-op (giving up on this one) but the supposed random elemental sensei zones (apparently false now on the random part) and finally getting to make the Skylander I've wanted to create for around 5 years is just too hard to pass up.

Due to a recent development, I will be adding Hood Sickle, Starcast, Dr.Krankcase and TKC to my plans!!

Last year when I pre-ordered Superchargers it came on launch day, even though I was expecting it later.
Not saying that'll be the case for me again, but you never know with these kinds of things.
Also technically that's only two days for after the game is worldwidely available, but, depending on where you live, yeah, that's a bit later.

"Shamelessly lied about?" Really? You can't believe that Paul made an honest mistake in the one video the Adventure Pack bombs were mentioned? It has to be a malicious attempt to mislead fans? :/

So, ToyNerd, about that list with the Toys 'R Us stock you posted earlier, the Starter Packs are just listed by console, right? There's nothing about the Crash Edition Starter Pack's stock? I know that the Dark Edition is exclusive to another store, so...

The Crash Edition shouldn't be exclusive to any place. Maybe they just missed that box.

But no listings about stock for now? Or they're mixed with the Standard PS3/PS4 Editions?

I agree with this.

Also, some things that I discovered/realized today:
* It looks like there are two different Light crystals being released on Day One.
* It also looks like Mystical Tae Kwon Crow isn't in Wave One.

He saw and played the final game, they have it on their office. If you say with a straight face when the game does not have that and you know it, he's either not paying enough attention to QA it's a lie. I'm not saying it's deliberate to mislead, just that it's a shameless lie.

That's very possible.
I recall at least one unique feature for the Fire Realm, and haven't seen enough of the Air and Earth ones to judge.

There is some kinda of Arena, though.
Don't know the details but it was confirmed by the guys who got the game early.
Hope it helps.

I'm with you on certain features being locked behind server connection, or even the Day One patch.
I mean, it's so common in the gaming industry these days that it wouldn't surprise me if it added so much content.

Its not exactly "shameless", just a normal lie.

"He saw and played the final game" But that doesn't mean he tested out the Adventure Packs, so he could have just been assuming that since that's what they did in the last game they developed. Or maybe it was a shameless lie, but you don't know that for a fact.

He coulda just forgotten. Mistakes happen.
