Why should they, though? All of those machines that you mentioned are currently on their last legs. Why should they bother on making those versions look slightly better than normal when most people aren't playing the game on those systems primarily?

Well I know I for one can't afford a PS4 or Xbox One. The multiplayer alone on those consoles is too much for me tbh. I don't know about the PS3 but the Xbox 360 has quite a wall of games and it's relatively inexpensive. Roughly 100 doesn't compare to the 300+ for the One or the PS4. The Wii U is the exception since it has the free online multiplayer but at the cost of third party support being limited. It's a pick and choose market out there, and even if it is last gen, the positives to having an Xbox 360 outweigh the positives of having an Xbox One for me. Of course I could be horribly wrong and everyone and their uncle has/wants an Xbox One... I just personally don't care too much for graphics.

I barely noticed any blurriness in the Wii U version of Imaginators. The only thing I really don't like it how blocky Kaos' head looks in his magic moment. It's horrifying.

I got some coupons from Toys R Us today, so I went and bought another Air and Life creation crystal. With my Life crystal, I made Bark Blast, a Bazooker who's a living tree with a log bazooka, and with my Air crystal, I made...

(Spoilers based off of the game.)

I'm not gonna lie, I really liked Gill Grunt as a storyteller, even if he was barely there. I think it was because we saw more character in him than another repose.

Well don't fret, because he's a Storyteller in the Water Realm.

Yeah i noticed that in vids... its not just the Wii U version i think...

Is it true that the Wii U version looks even more blurry than the previous games?

I've never really noticed much blurriness in the Wii U Skylanders games... other than Swap Force, that is.

Swap Force, to me is actually less blurry than TT or SC (SuperChargers is the worst, that one also has some graphical messups)

I can attest to SC looking like utter trash on Wii U. I would say that I don't care about graphics, but I do up to a point. I'm so used to the visual crispness of games on the Xbox that I physically cannot go back to my Wii U because the games don't look as good.

Yeah i could understand that.

Where is the Bazooker soul gem? I still can't find it.

EDIT: Oh... I found it just now.

did any body find a mysticat/magic pack in target?

I found Mysticat himself, but not the combo pack.

Quote: Bloxz

I saw Mysticat at Gamestop today, just in a single pack.

Found all soul gems except for the ones locked behind the magic/air/light realms and the adventure pack ones.

So that just leaves Air Strike, Wild Storm, Buckshot, Aurora, Boom Bloom, Crash, and Cortex's SGs.

Well, I just found out today that Skylanders is on the list of games affected by the Performance Matters movement.https://www.sagaftra.org/files...ctions_list.pdf

This is probably the reason for Spyro getting a different VA and why some actors like Tara Strong, Cree Summer, and Kevin Michael Richardson weren't in the credits for Imaginators.

For those who don't know about Performance Matters: http://www.sagaftra.org/interactive/faqs

Wouldn't Skylanders 2015 be referring to Superchargers though?

so THAT's what happened to hood sickle's VA...

Oh, I didn't even notice the 2015 there. Another article mentioned that any game that did not hire actors before February 17, 2015 would be affected by the movement so Imaginators can still apply here. https://www.destructoid.com/-u...t--394933.phtml

Yet again.. that was probably what happened to hood's voice.

I cant access the website. Can someone tell me the problem with the VA stuff? I'm actually quite curious.

A lot are asking any game´s development will be affected by this? Will this affect future Skylanders games?

To sum it up it's about it's about the working conditions, unfair payment for games that make lots of money (like Call of Duty and GTA), and not knowing what game or character your doing the voice for...

Activision is one of the devlopers affected, but I can't find anything about their future games beside that Crash Bandicoot Remaster

Effective Friday, SAG-AFTRA has declared a strike against 11 video game publishers over games that went into production after Feb. 17, 2015. The companies in question include some of the biggest heavyweights of the industry, such as Electronic Arts Productions, or EA, Insomniac Games, Activision and Disney.

Well, i guess Sky 7's gonna have a bit of trouble next year.

The Wii U version looks fine to me. I'm sure it would look worse when side by side with the XB1 or PS4 versions but it doesn't look bad compared to the other Skylanders games on Wii U.

We don't even know if there will be a Sky 7, and this is not helping the cause.
Wow! A lot of games are affected by this.

Acti is addicted to outsourcing. They'll find some poor idiots just starting out to replace the voice actors when needed, quality be damned.

as long as there will be sky7 i'm happy.

I won't. They really need to take a break. Not stop entirely, break.

they can make sky 7 in two years for all care as long as there will be sky7.

I can see the reason why Tara Strong, Cree Summer, and Kevin Michael Richardson weren't in the credits. They probably requested not to be on account of the strike. I'm guessing this doesn't include Johnny Rees and Bobcat Goldthwait because they do much more than just voice act, especially the latter.

Is it just me or is Chompy Mage more awesome than expected? I am having a crazy blast with him.

Heads Up!

No need to spoiler that, I was already expecting rules for today's contest.

Maybe they did tweaked their paint a little?

Yeah, if Patrick Warburton and Richard Steven Horvitz aren't leaving because of this, we really don't have anything to worry about.

I mean, the final level did kinda show how Kaos is egomaniacal enough to make clones of himself to fight you

Also, there is way more stuff to do besides the Story campaign. Have you tried any of the Sensei realms? Getting through all of those will take a while

Yup, couldnt mess those wacky Kaos clones, just would have been nice to have a short cutscene perhaps showing a Kaos clone leaving Kaos to join the SkyLanders, you know, some forethought to say "hey, here's why there's a Kaos figure."

Check, completed the Senesei Realms. Just need to finish finding a few chests and bits and bobs.

When the achievement popped up for completing the game, I was like whaaaaat?! that was quick.

Are you serious?
Kaos Sensei is canon.
And canonically, he was created literally right before Imaginators.
It was in his bio that he was the first thing Kaos created with Mind Magic.
You complaining that there wasn't an in-game explanation is the same thing as complaining that Aurora's connection with Eon wasn't shown in game, or literally why any of the villains became Senseis.

Yes I',m serious. I'm not debating the cannon at all.
Yes, all of us on the forums know the bio and here, posted for your re-enjoyment: "With Kaos having discovered the power of Mind Magic to create Doomlanders, one of his first creations was none other than a clone of himself! Figuring that no one in the universe, including the SkyLanders, could ever stand up to more than one Kaos, he unleashed his clone in his quest to take over SkyLands. But to Kaos’ surprise, the clone – also being Kaos – wanted victory for himself! As a result, he decided to fight against his creator, in turn helping the SkyLanders in their endeavor to defeat the real Kaos!"

But think about it, a lot of casual gamers are confused (get messages from the sites) on how there is a Kaos figure while there Kaos is still the main villain, and think about how great and hilarious (especially with the great voice talent of Richard Steven Horvitz) would it have been to see Kaos create his perfect clone, only to be out done by his clone. That would have been a fantastic scene.

You have a point. But you need to remember that, discounting the Wii, the Wii U and XBox 360 are the consoles with more sellings of the games.

Oh they've been like that for a while now.

I've realized they've been like that within the past week too. They also go crazy like that on Instagram and stuff. I don't know what's gotten into them, but I'm not complaining.

It's not... You have to go into Settings with the Creation Crystal on the Portal itself. If you go into "General", there will be a button that says "Reset Broken Toys"

I couldn't figure it out, gotta try again. Where was that video link?

Thank you! It worked! I just changed one of the parts on Flynn's Ship quick to cause a game-save, then went to the menu.

Hm, no posts about the Imaginators Global Contest yet, wouldn't be surprised if they forgot about marketing it like Skylanders Academy.

As long as I can get most of them on a black Friday sale, yes. I was already planning on it before we knew crystals weren't resettable.
