This topic may be sticky when the other topic ends. So check on the topic when the other one ends.

So now we have a new topic about the news of the Skylanders game. If anything new news happens about Skylanders, then talk about it here.

iSO will probably make a new topic himself when the old one dies, but this was a nice gesture anyway.

iSO hasn't been on that much lately.

See what I mean?

As I mentioned back in that previous topic, I've been pretty busy with the first few days of school and I'm trying to adjust to the current scheduling. The new topic and update will be up as soon as possible. What about the last several weeks you say? I was much involved with summer school, which dampened my efforts to a considerable amount; and that there wasn't much news in that time. Remember, as Razz pointed out during the early days of that previous topic's existence - what I do is entirely voluntary.

Speak of the devil/man/entity

That was crazy. Do that again!

That's fair enough, life is more important than updating about a video game all the time, and you obviously do have a life.

I didn't know having a life was legal still.

No it's illegal now, you're not allowed to have one, unless you pay 10p per minute to the Government then you're fine, or in you're case 10 cents a minute. Can you imagine it being like that in the future?

Oh sorry, you want us to repeat ourselves again on what we think of the game? *Sarcasm*

All we need is news and not arguments. Thank you.

There isn't exactly much news at the moment is there.

Looks like Australia will be the first to get Skylanders, on October 12th for the PC version and the 13th for the console versions: http://www.videogamesblogger.c...ots-gallery.htm

Just read the latest pages then. Mind you, there is more conversation there then there is news.

Hmm, according to google, it sounds like you get one free for a preordering on that website.

And it's sold separately for the whopping price of 16 euros http://www.cultura.com/musique...yro,3381906.prd

Official Spyro keychain:

No, just no.

On Topic:

We all know the game is fake. DUH!

That keychain scares me.

Well, on that keychain he totally looks like a dragon...

By the way:

Chaque pack de démarrage possède le jeu vidéo, 3 figurines, un portail, un poster de toutes les figurines à collectionner, des cartes, des stickers et des codes internet.

I'm wondering what are these internet codes?

You understood that?

It looks like it's talking about something involving video, 3 toys, a portrait (I think?), a poster of something, stickers, and an internet code. Wow, it's sad that my French sucks and I knew most of that.

French is my main language, I can translate it if you want

Each starting pack includes the video game, 3 toys, the portal, a poster of each toys to collect, cards (trading cards), stickers and internet codes.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS! Crap, I'm rusty!

Haha no problem, anyway google translate can do an "ok" job for things like that.

Note there is brown and purple as the keychain color scheme, not yellow and purple.

I like how they show the game booth, I hope it will be like that, I mean with a portal so you can try the skylander before buying it?

Also, looking everywhere, I can't find Whirlwind... it seems that this one will be released later =(

Whirlwind's toy is shown on the Tesco UK site.

Yeah since Tesco has an exclusivity on that one but outside the UK, I'm wondering if Whirlwind will be released later (USA/Canada) since I didn't find it anywhere. But well, it would be stupid that UK has it and not here though, since it's pretty easy to order it by Internet =/

About the keychain, is that for pre order from that site only or pre order from anywhere?

New gameplay with Spyro vs. Gill Grunt. We hear Gill Grunt's talking voice and possibly Spyro's when he's first seen on-screen:

Well, so much for the graphics getting better these days.

That's probably the Wii version shown in the video.

So THAT's why the graphics suck! It better not be that terrible on PS3 or Xbox 360.

Go see the screenshots of the game from the 360 and Wii versions. You'll clearly see the difference between the two. We've seen some videos of Skylanders that had the 360 and PS3 version quality and it's far more detailed than the Wii counterpart.

Can't find it. Link?

360 version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9wnEqbHNnY

Wii version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...feature=related

I must say, I kind of expected better graphics for a Xbox 360 game. As well, looking at the gameplay, my suspicions were confirmed. It's nothing I haven't seen. It's fairly reminiscent of several games that slip my mind, and so far the flash drive thing is the only thing I haven't heard of.

Here's a few screenshots:

Wii:


360/PS3:

The Wii version makes me want to cry... it's so bad.

For a Wii game it's not that bad. A wii is not really much more powerful than a N64 you know.

That's the sad thing.

What will tell if this game is good or not is if people will torrent it. Only truly awful games don't get torrented.

What's the point to torrent this game? If you don't have a portal and a skylander, you just can't play it =/ Or maybe they will fully crack this game, it might be a possibility, but I'm not just hackers will lost their time with a game for kids?
