IDK. But I never liked crash to begin with and N.Sane didn't change that. The new things don't change the gameplay and if they do barely it still has clunky controls and gameplay is the most important thing in a game.

Your opinion doesn't reflect the opinions of the majority of people that have played N. Sane, nor does it change the importance/significance of the changes that were made in the remakes.

You're absolutely free to feel that it's clunky and you're also free to not like Crash, but part of that is on you for comparing and expecting it to be like Spyro as if they're the exact same type of game when they literally aren't.
(N. Sane and Crash as a whole appeal to plenty of casuals - more so than Spyro in some cases -, so that isn't the problem here either)

Either way, this is derailing the topic and it's clear that you've put yourself in a bubble. I give up. lmao

This is why I don't like talking about remakes no one knows what makes a "good" remake. Some people think it's just visual changes and minor new collectables. Others believe it should have modern controls while feeling familiar to retro players. As well as not afraid to do something new. You can point out all the new collectables but at the end of the day it's still an outdated PS1 title.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about either, though.

You saying something =/= it automatically being right, especially when you don't have a proper argument to begin with as I've dismantled it completely more than once.
(That, and you've contradicted yourself about N. Sane with that very post because you choose to either ignore the points I've made or downplay them based on your entirely subjective stance that changes nothing when it comes to the actual reality here)

How did I contradict myself?

You literally said that N. Sane didn't "change enough", when I literally listed off examples of things that are objectively (As in your entirely subjective opinion doesn't change the importance of) major changes.

You chose to ignore and downplay them because you don't care for it, when that doesn't change the fact that significant changes were made.
I could do the exact same thing you're doing here with N. Sane with Reignited and you'd be arguing with me over that, and it'd still be complete BS either way.

I see what it is. The changes you find Major I find minor. I feel like it doesn't change anything at the end of the day. In the grand scheme.

Them being major isn't a subjective thing and has nothing to do with your opinion or mine. I feel like a broken record here, ngl. lol

Hey this is a Skylanders discussion. Spitfire is my favorite character and Jet-Vac is overhated

I feel like Bash is my favorite, personally. (Though there are a lot of good characters in Skylanders, imo, so it's kind of hard to pick an absolute favorite all the same)

Bash is cool too.

My least favorite is Super Shot Stealth Elf due to her auto aim mechanic. I like the idea of a Stealth Elf with a gun.

That is a rather interesting idea, I'll give you that.

I do like the supercharged versions of old characters over series 2 reposes due to them having new designs and movesets.

Agreed, as I find that it allows for them to stand out more from most previous reposes they've had in the past.

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

Awesome

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?

I'm calling bull**** on this rumor right now, tbch.

Like, no offense to anyone that is hoping that this turns out to be real, but everything about this makes zero sense logically and business-wise. (Even for Activision's standards, which are admittedly pretty low, but I digress...)

GPS functionality

haha lol no that ain’t happening

then again it sounds so stupid it might be true

i mean yeah i'd love to see this come back but i doubt this is real

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.

Yeah i've kinda shut myself off from Skylander leaks.

Another skylanders game?

Yes please.

Can you all stop quoting a month old rumor that's most likely Ring of Heroes' reboot please

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.

some minor crash 4 spoilers

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.

so vicarious visions is dead

Yup. :/

Not entirely sure how to feel about this, but hopefully Blizzard will improve because of this merger instead of dragging VV down with them. (Although my hopes aren't too high, sadly)

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.

VV developing N. Sane merely jumpstarted the return and current success of Crash and Spyro's respective franchises, but beyond that VV's hardly been involved at all.
Beenox and TFB are in charge of both franchises now, hence why TFB made It's About Time after making Reignited. (And are already hinting at a new Spyro game in It's About Time's artbook as well)

Plus, it seems like Activision is more or less putting VV in "charge" of Blizzard with this merger, since the former has proven to be able to "fix" broken franchises like Crash and Tony Hawk.
Activision even silently dismantled Team 1 (a.k.a The "classic" Blizzard team) late last year, so it seems like they're merging VV with Blizzard in order to set the ship back on the correct course after the last few years of controversy that Blizzard has experienced.
(i.e The Warcraft III Reforged debacle)

Yeah, it is a shame to see VV merge with Blizzard. But I wouldn’t be surprised if TBF have split their studio in two (with both halves working independently on different projects). If Skylanders does ever return (which I’m sure it will eventually), I’d hope they’d have learnt their lesson and not make it a yearly franchise and just support the new game for up to two years before another sequel.
