I’m nearly done the story mode of Trap Team so expect my next review once I do the other levels and side stuff

Haven’t posted on here in awhile, but I figured it’s worth letting you guys know.

The rumoured Skylanders game is apparently a reboot: https://twitter.com/hotgirlvid...8784352257?s=21

According to the reddit subtopic, it'll keep the "toys to life" formula, and toys will include GPS functionality.

Is this any kind of serious or is it just the same kind of poo that happened with Krakatoa and the second wave of senseis back in the time?

GPS functionality

haha lol no that ain’t happening

then again it sounds so stupid it might be true

Sounds like an expensive Pokemon-like game with crystals where you have to catch Skylanders outside before you can play with them at home...
Such a crystal could have GPS and battery and sell for $20.
But of course you can only catch Life Skylanders with a Life crystal... And of course there will be no possibility to keep them in a vault. So for each Skylander you need an own crystal.
That would sound like Activision...

Tbh, I want to believe that this is real but yeah, I'm remaining pretty skeptical.

I'm just gonna do what I normally do with stuff like this- hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Another skylanders game?

Why? If they have found out everything now, they're free to comment about it. This is a forum after all, and there isn't a constant stream of news anyways. Why have you be so salty? Just let people talk about it until we know something new. Or even if so.

This has been happening for a while, actually. Ever since that account posted the very first rumor, despite having nothing new to it, people keep making videos or tweets about it like it's a treasure trove. Sorry for being blunt on the forum, though, it didn't reach here until now.

Charming reference, but I'm afraid nothing else. It's worth mentioning that it's a way more direct reference than the magic lamp that can be seen in the reignited trilogy.

god take me back

So, recollecting figures. Wanted to know; The core skylanders in the Imaginators triple packs. They're just the Swap Force figures, right? Do they have a 'special' tag, or show up with one? Kind of like the Frito-Lay versions of the Minis. (Or Series 1.5 Double Trouble?) Or are they just straight up repackaged Swap Force figures?

Yeah, they're likely just repackaged Swap Force figures. Never got one myself, but that sounds like an Activision sort of thing to do.

vicarious visions merged with blizzard as a support act for wow and diablo. this is the end of the road folks, no more skylanders or spyro games, its over now rip.

wait, didn’t toys for bob make the spyro remakes and some of the skylanders games?

Actually, Toys for Bob created the franchise and did 4 of it 6 games. Yes, having VV "gone" it's a low blow, but it doesn't have to necessarily affect Skylanders and Spyro as a franchise.

Heartbreaker Buckshot at the official website... wasn't it deleted from it?

Dang I hope Toys for Bob is safe from ever suffering VV's fate.

Thinking back, VV was what got me interested in Skylanders. My first and only Skylanders game for a long time was the 3DS version of Spyro's Adventure, as that was closest to the type of game I wanted from Spyro, then I jumped into the franchise fully when DK and Bowser got added to Superchargers. So it's shocking to learn that they've essentially been reduced to grunt labor duties, especially after the success of N-Sane Trilogy.

But over time I've developed more of a higher opinion towards TfB, in terms of their game design skills. It would seriously be a massive disappointment if they ever got stuffed off in some hole somewhere.

i used to feel really betrayed by tfb, because i went through a phase where i was upset about spyro's portrayal in skylanders. but ya know what, they're just doing what they can based on what acti wants them to, so i'm not really upset with them anymore.

i wish they'd had a better understanding of the rest of the spyro franchise before working on skylanders, but then again, skylanders was never really meant to be centered on spyro in the first place

I'm here, just waiting for the storm to hit, again.

it would be nice with a new skylanders game, i dont deny that, but god no more of them figurines. do a normal fun platformer with some of the characters. like sony did with the new little big planet game that did come without the creation mode, and only had the adventure platformer part, it worked great.

yeah, i think getting rid of the figurines could add to the longevity of the series if there's another entry.

personally, i really like the toys, but they take up a lot of space, cost extra money, and aren't very useful outside of skylanders gameplay.

Massive, kind of sad discovery today - various concept arts for Skylanders were posted in the Artsation for a former Vicarious Visions artist, and among them, we found out the second gimmick that they were workshopping for Skylanders 7(or even since Superchargers, it's not mentioned)... Let's call them Heroic Skylanders after one of the filenames.





(Spyro is called a test so maybe he's just a style presentation to show off WranglerFire and co., we'll have to see if more information crops up)

The first picture is tagged "growing up" and they're shown alongside the original designs and the Minis, so they're most likely the opposite of the latter - far older Skylanders, maybe to show the passage of time in the franchise or travelers from the future.

This is all early concepts, so maybe it wouldn't have shown up in the game even if it was finished, but... Damn. I'd have loved this, though maybe not enough to withstand the seemingly sports-focused gimmicklanders. Maybe they could show up in Ring of Heroes so we finally get alt skins? Hah...

I'd like to bring up "Brick House" real quick. There's a file in Imaginators called "BrickGirl", and it contains 4 models. Template Template (a character placeholder), two brick walls (different sizes), and a single brick. Possibly she made it further into development than others.

With the use of Template Template, that was most likely leftover from VV, then. A shame, no doubt she fell to the same "has to look battle ready" problem that Water Gargoyle had.

hmm the "heroic" versions of the skylanders seems like a similar concept to "awakened" forms in roh. might just me being a bit too tinfoil hat-ey

They have the same results, but Awakened is more getting an outfit upgrade. Stuff like Stealth Elf with gigantic hair or Ninjini having more leglike smoke feel like they really are from the future.
