Game 4 Announcement Coming Soon?

It looks like a bunch of stills from a boy's version of a mobile "dress up" game, but with knights and armor instead of girls/animals/etc. and clothes, shoes, etc. Definitely not any sort of Skylanders 4 spoiler. I can't remotely imagine that as "revolutionary" as the next game is supposed to be that even 2 of the Skylanders would look so similar, let alone the 4-5 that the kid in the video showed off.

I still don't understand the perceived competition between Skylanders and the Disney Infinity franchise. Aside from the obvious "figurines on a portal" similarity, these are two very different video games that implement the characters in very different ways. There are some folks that play/collect both collections equally, but those folks appear to be the very small minority. The large majority are interested in one collection, and completely disinterested in the other collection.

I highly doubt that Disney would have ventured into the Infinity project unless they perceived that there was adequate market space for another "toys to life" franchise ... it would have been way too risky to presume that they could displace or "win over" the established Skylanders crowd, even for a mega-corporation like Disney.

Yeah, I do agree with BahamutBreaker; it's like comparing Spyro and Crash: they are both great platformers adventure games, but very different.

As for the Kaos Alliance thing, Unreallystic, I highly doubt, since Kaos said "new plan to conquer the Skylands". He will probably return as the main villain. So far we only have the "rangers" and the crystals as some king of clue (and maybe the karts)...

I too agree with Bahamut, the games are totally different and serve two completely different audiences. The only area of overlap is the figures, and they do fight over dollars from parents, the same as ALL games and toys aimed at kids do. There is a limit to which most parents will spend on these sorts of things, therefore there is some competition in that regard. I know of several parents that give their kids the either/or choice simply from the perspective that setting a budget for games/toys is wise.

I disagree.

Too the 'educated person' - you are 100% correct. But Skylanders REALLY feeds into the casual audience who are often the un-educated. Imagine you're a parent who doesn't follow anything. Your kid ask about both games, you go to Toys'R'Us and see shelves of toys along wiht a $75 game - for two different franchises. It has NOTHING to do with the type of game, you just see the $$$, and more than likely you'll only feed into one game. And there are ALOT of times this happens. From my time spent just 'chillaxin' in that section and talking with other parents about both games, it was very very very rare that parent's had ANY clue what they were doing. Seems you have a strong divide between those who know about the games and those who are just buying blindly. Those blind dollars get split between the two franchises. And parents are going to actually be more inclined to look at the franchise with the Mickey mouse on it. then there are parents who have thrown money into one game and refuse to put money into the other game.

So yes the games are vastly different - but they do compete for dollars. It's just budgeting and perceived knowledge about purchases.

24 foil cards?


Interesting, possibly 8 new "gimmick" characters? 16 new ones? Hmm.

Now, if they can break up the new roster this year between heroes and villains and unlock new stories / content over the year I'll be grinning ear to ear. Imagine two stories that interweave and changes based on actions taken in game...ohhhhhhh yeaaahhhh.... I can hope. Take risks, Activision....shake it up!!

To edit a quote from Dr. Cox: I would love that game so much that I would run off with that game, marry it and raise a family of tiny little games with it!

I think the old packs did have enemies in. I know for certain the Giants packs did because I have a bunch of enemies. They only got the cards that were screenshots from the game though, maybe that's the difference?

If they don't have the villains, they could always be adding the villain's from the 3 current games.

Do you guys think they will bring back water. My big hope is for skylanders that can fly it would be cool if they did it like dawn of the dragon or that you can jump while flying to get more height and fly over big gaps( I can dream can't I)

#85 Posted: 04:21:23 18/04/2014
I'd love for Water to come back, though keep the water-themed soul gem changes as they are now, seeing as they were pretty useless in Giants OR SSA. At least if they give you a boost, that's somewhat useful.
