Now that the new board is up and it's that time of the year again, get creative and speculate about Skylanders 2016.
This is separate to the general discussion topic, this is for users to post theories and speculate of what we know so far and what they would like.
Post about what you'd like to see and why.
I'll kick it off:
1. Reposes similar to SuperChargers with complete character revamps. ( Double Trouble needs to be one of them )
2. Battle Mode Returns (3rd Time Lucky) & With Online now.
3. Increased Max Level for all Skylanders
4. More than 1 new Skylanders character per element.
5. No Skymiibos (Although I'm all for Crash Bandicoot becoming a character)
6. A new MainVillain
7. A new base Design, SuperChargers had engines on top and it made the base feel flat. Though i'd still prefer the game base color removed.
8. Vehicles usable in some form.
It's a slim possibility, but maybe some of our ideas may be noticed and included some day. I'm sure some of Activision's people check by here every now and again.

Battle Modes, nicknames, tons of postgame content, very small paywall(doesn't need to be as low as Superchargers but at least be in small quantities and requiring Skylanders mostly). Smaller priority are single Skylander related content, like having their hometowns as levels or small quests with custom dialogue. Patches are good too, but if we shouldn't be asking for something they should've used from the get go.
Also Malefor.

Basically everything Bifrost said, but I have another idea. Last summer, I had this idea, and I've never really thought about it until now.
So, y'know those Angry Birds Telepod things? Well, they've already crossed over with Transformers, so it'd be wrong to say that they haven't gained some popularity. Imagine if they did 2 Angry Birds characters for Skylanders? I was thinking the King Pig (his name is Leonard in the movie, I think) and Chuck (the yellow one.) Like amiibo, they would work for both games, being playable characters in Skylanders, but adding Skylander-themed content into the Angry Birds game, like making the Pigs look like Chompies, and Red look like Spyro. I was thinking that the King Pig could be Tech, and he would attack by lobbing crates of TNT and summon Pig minions. As for Chuck, he could be in the Air or Light element would revolve around zipping around all over the place and electrocuting enemies. It's just a crazy idea.

A Portal Owners Pack.
Character missions where they to the person giving it to them. Being able to select a boss fight after completing the level. Idle animations instead of victory poses. Racing and Battle Mode. Long levels with check points. |

I agree with Biforst! I'd really love it if they made Malefor the main villain of this game instead of Kaos! I don't know how most people feel, but I think Kaos is getting old and boring, and Malefor would serve as a much more exciting and threatening villain?
Also, I don't think they should add Crash IMO. |
Bifrost Prismatic Sparx Gems: 10294 |
#8 Posted: 19:45:34 22/05/2016
I think Malefor is perfect if Kaos takes a break - his current job is to help stop villains with worse intentions than him, so who's better than someone with zero moral limits(while Kaos has VERY clear rules on when to cheat or how much you should invest on a plan) and a crazy superiority complex in comparison?

I like this list although in reality I'd like to see this re-introduced AND improved. They totally got rid of the reasons why I played skylander, and this stuff was part of it. Repetitive as all get out, which is why I want an improvement. The stuff they did in SC did that but provided no skylander improvement, save for ONE specific quest per character and vehicle. It was a watered down experience. |

This is the prediction for the gimmick I have been making ever since Swap Force. After seeing the picture of the new Skylander, it looks like it might finally come true.
I want the gimmick-landers to be physically customizable, with weapons/armor that can be magnetically attached to it at certain points, and can be exchanged with other gimmick-landers. Based on the image of the new skylander, assuming it is a gimmick-lander, it looks like the metal weapon on both of his arms could be the perfect candidate for this idea. The effects this would have on attacks could be like swap force: A main weapon attack, and a body attack. Or, it could be a new mechanic where skylanders keep their attacks and animations, but different weapons/armor will add effects, change stats dramtically, or just change appearance. (Or hopefully even a combination of all of those)

That actually does sound like a pretty cool idea! But if they are magnetic would they not be a lot more expensive? Maybe not, I dunno. XD
The only thing is that I'm thinking it may be a little too similar to Swap Force, with the swappable items and all. But man, I'd trade this idea for Swap Force any day lol! Haha, I still like that Ultimate idea from the fake leak though. It won't happen, but I still like it. :P |

What I would like:
1) Online battle mode: It would dramatically increase the length of the game. We could even have some championships arranged between the members of this community. 4 players team VS 4 player team would be great as well. 2) Online Kaos Doom Challenge: Sort of a mini MOBA between two players. You have your defense towers, your mabu army and your hero 3) Increase level cap: I need a motivation to keep playing it online, and maxing out a character is always a safe bet for that. However I ighly doubt they would this as it would discourage getting new figures. 4) Unexplored skylander designs: fairies, gargoyles, more angels (ok yeah this one has been explored), human-dragon hybrids... all of these would be very much welcomed. 5) Few land vehicle tracks: As weird as it sounds I would like to get a few online land tracks for vehicles. I didn't like how vehicles took part of the classic gameplay but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoying having online races. IMO the controls were fun but a few poor decision made it look the worse it has happened to skylanders in the series. As for the battle racing, no please. 6) Online co op up to four with random players No need to be friends to co op, please. I know this be an issue for parents, but there are multiple other ways to control this issue without obstaculizing the rest of the players. 7) Figures with some kind of action mechanism: Buzzwing had pop out and flapping wings action, and I love it. Would be great if they started doing these kind of things for the winged characters.

Online battle mode
Online co-op with randoms without voice chat Level cap of 25 Quests back Old gimmicks and magic items do a little bit of something Portal Owner's Pack Levels the length of SSA but with a large quantity of them 1 new gimmick and 1 new core per element (excluding variants and reposes, idc how many of those they make) Less grindy post game content than SSF, but more post game content than the other 4. Only 1 toy of each new gimmick needed for 100% completion. Elemental gates exist with any character being able to open them. |

See, I wish there were regular elemental gates again, so any Skylander of that element can enter, but I also want "gates" for the gimmicks. As in feats of strength, swap movement zones, elemental traptanium clusters, and supercharger gates. Then every skylanders could feel needed. But with how it's been going I'm not expecting that. I'm guessing we will just have more gimmicks gates for the current game from now on. |

My ideal game:
-A gimmick that's not mandatory to beat the game or shoved down our throats. -30 characters total, 20 new, 5 reposes, and 5 villain figures if that winds up being a thing. -Online co-op returns (because that's honestly a good idea). -Battle mode returns, with online functionality. -Path switching returns. -A story that reflects the tone of the show. -Only around 10-15 alter egos. -Kaos is either only a secondary antagonist or comic relief. -Vehicles still have some kind of functionality. Even if it's just they still give Superchargers a damage boost. -Traps still have some kind of functionality. Whether they make villains fully playable or tie it into villain figures somehow. -Elemental gates return, because honestly they were pretty cool. As long as it's not only the gimmicklanders that can open them. -Some kind of mode akin to Heroic Challenges or Bonus Missions, or just having them come back. -Another pair of Skymiibo (because I personally like the idea to be honest). -Further extending on Skylander/NPC interactions (Buzz's missions were a step in the right direction). -Either a Series 3 Chill or a Series 2 Wham-Shell. -Seriously though Gill Grunt's been reposed enough. -No more fish reposes, okay? -Okay? -OKAY!? |
Drek95 Emerald Sparx Gems: 4761 |
#21 Posted: 00:03:32 24/05/2016
Here's the list for my ideal game:
- 20 or so new Cores (Light and Dark usually get less characters). Honestly, the more the better for me but I do understand why it might be a problem for certain customers; - no old characters remade in any form, no Lightcores, no Minis, no variants. And absolutely no Gimmicklanders. - no toy gimmick, just tons of in-game mechanics and innovations; - elemental "puzzles" rather than Gates, which bend well with the environment and offer a certain level of challenge; - an increases level cap, new Quests, some kind of Heroic; - traps and vehicles fully working: the latter at as a way to travel faster around the game world; - open-world which branches in the various Story chapters; - more trappable villains; - something specific but optional for our Trap Masters and SuperChargers to do (exactly like Giants can throw boulders and smash walls); - a great plot, with the same quality of SuperChargers'; - Battle Mode, also online; - 2 to 4 Adventure Packs (all the older ones unlock specific levels); - ALL our older Magic Items and Adventure Pieces work fine; - tons of replayability in all sorts of forms; - of course cards, stickers, colored bases and packages and all those little touches. I'd have a couple more wishes but this is enough. Would buy a game like that in a heartbeat.

I guess they want to keep the idea they are really special Elements, thus having less members.
They are somewhat rare. But I agree... My secret dream would be having Giants, Swappers, one more Trap Master and lots of Cores for both Elements. Doubt it will ever happen.

Have Skylanders that you placed on the Port walking around in game. Add Trappable Villains (8-10 Total) Might get people to buy the trap that are still in store lol. Add PvP/Skylanders Battles. Add Online Play so fans can finally Play the Game together!!! Add Past Adventure Pack as DLC with Figures on Portal. Add Reasons to Use Past Figures: Giants, Swap-Force, Trap Team, etc... (that's a no-brainier really) --- Remove Sky Stones (BattleCast kinda fills that) Remove Kaos as the Villain (I MEAN COME ON) Lock him up in Cloudcracker Prison and be done, if they ever want to bring him back, break him out! Remove the minigames to unlock doors. (Waste of Time, I wanna hit things)

Another little feature which would probably be positive is to add free camera movement. The games usually give you the best possible angles, but I sometimes wish it was faster, plus it would open new ways of hide treasures and made exploration trickier.

The only way I see that happening is if the Adventure Packs are added as paid DLC (say, $5 per level), but with free downloads unlockable by adding the physical item on the portal. The DLC should be forward-compatible as well, so that if you buy them in Sky6, you get free access to the packs in all future games (if you got free downloads, you'd still need the figures). Win for Activision, earning money on releasing old content, win for long-time collectors who have the packs, thus getting free content, and win for players who don't have the old packs, since they can buy them much cheaper than the original release. Quote: angelg
Yes, this so much! With Wii out of the picture (for the main games, at least), all current platforms have an unused right stick dying to take control of the camera.

I would like a different type of heroic challenges. Something like the adventure map in Hyrule Warriors. It could have rows A-H and columns 1-16 which would give you 128 challenges to do. All challenges are locked accept for one of them. You have to use a specific skylander for each challenge and when you complete a challenge the skylander gets a stat boost and it opens another challenge to complete with a different skyylander. You continue this way tiil all 128 are complete. It carries great replayability in Hyrule warriors and would work great in Skylanders.
Something like this: |

#5 is good for games 1-3. No one should expect non-skylander gimmicks to be supported b/c that precedence was already set during TT to SC. Those gimmicks fundamentally changes the dynamic of the game, and frankly it would be an unmitigated mess to design and to be fun. They are free to prove me wrong, but supporting 300 skylanders and all gimmicks would mean they would be crushed under all of that weight. |
