Great video from FamilyGamer!
I am in agreement with others, the more robust system would be a boon for the franchise. More involvement with the figures, abilities and possabilities! Also, replay value is a HUGE concern. I get the need/desire to have something new every year to sell, but there is just as much value in the long game as opposed to the short. Have a developing city as we see parts of in Lost Islands, or some other "return to me" factor that keeps us coming back to the game for more. Online competition, or my personal favorite, online co-op. I also think that some form of updating would be great. Granted, Skylanders is basically a game that makes them the majority of their money in DLC via the figures, but having some regular updates to the game, even as simple as game-wide updates for holidays and such, is huge. Hate to reference another title and developer, but 2K Games with Borderlands 2, in my opinion, has proven to be a GREAT example of a game with standard DLC, community events, and random updates for fun, all within the space of what is basically a single player game with just co-op multiplayer and no true competitive online emphasis. The Borderlands 2 game is not substantially altered by these DLCs and updates, and is basically the same game before or after, but they add flavor, and with the random loot generation, there is a pull to come back and try for something new/better. In a Skylanders centric mindset, you can have the regular Adventure Packs, but make them worth the $25 USD by making them much more substantial (multi-level packs, new things added to existing levels, etc). Then, to build community interest and longevity, put out stand-alone levels and such throughout the life-cycle of the game. Just some minor ideas, but its an avenue they would completely have me looped in with if implemented. The longer you can keep your player base interested in your game, the much greater potential there is to keep them buying things for it. Sure, you will have the fanatics (of which I aspire to count as one!) who can and or will buy the newest waves as soon as they can, but the more moderate players may support those "long game" sales I mentioned if they have enough motivation to return. I could go on and on, just hope they do the right thing and put a LOT of thought and love into the game. Its all in if they consider it an ongoing franchise that folks know and love, or just a cash cow to sell plastic things during (primarily) the holidays. |

And, I didn't even said that those informations came from Activision or Toys For Bob; I just said that the writer of the article was speculating some dates, regarding the new game (basing them on the dates of Swap Force, from the last year).

My idea is that it would be cool to have new and returning skylanders where you can buy armor and upgrades in store and actually put them on the character to upgrade them. You could buy let's say ninjinis new wish blades and replace the old with the new and add ignitor some new armor on the figure.This is just 1 out of my many ideas! Thoughts?

Actually, I could see that happening.
And for the base, purple would be cool, but yellow would be too similar to the Giants base, in my opinion. Also I tought something: if the base are colored after a specific element (8 games could be enough, right?), then we already have Life, Tech, and Water (or Air): so this leave us with the Magic base (purple), the Earth base (brown), the Undead base (a darker shade of purple), the Fire base (red) and the Air, or Water, base (either a lighter or a darker shade of blue). So, if it's really like this, they could only add next an element color that isn't an opposite of one of the ones that we already have: so Earth (if the blue base is Water) or Fire (if the blue base is Air). What do you think, about this theory?

Shhh!!!! Don't give Acti ideas.... @Drek95 Huh. I never thought of that,,,,but you could be right! As for the colors? Air should have baby blue, since it's so distinct. From the looks of the Skylander cards, the Undead color would likely be a dark grey, although I wouldn't say no to two types of purple.

Well, I also tought about Undead having a dark grey color, but when you put an undead Skylander on the Portal, in Swap Force, it shows up in a dark purple environment... And I honestly don't remember what was the Undead intro color, in Giants and Spyro's Adventure...

Oh and I'd also like a bit more platforming.. even with the jump ability.. it was a little boring still *Gasp* How about special Skylanders that can fly?

#87 Posted: 18:07:17 04/02/2014
Those domains were registered last year, for the third game. Maybe this year they will register 4 more domains, just to tease us a little more. However, if they'll still stick with those names, I'd say Kaos Alliance too(even if the idea of using evil characters, as the title suggests, doesn't seems amazing enough, to justify a gimmick); Super Force and Nano Force seems way too similar to Swap Force, and, as a concept, to Giants. It's GREAT having 8 super powerful Skylanders, that represent their elements, but I wouldn't see the point of having other different sized characters.

You know, I saw a board game online somewhere that is related to Skylanders but using an old board game while tacking Skylander characters to it...I can't recall what it was called either...fail me. '' The point I'm trying to make however, is that while we might speculate that this domain name or that comment might be related to a video game, it could be that some of those clues are related to their board games or book lines. They've invested in making TONS of Skylanders merch, even if it's something like Skylanders Monopoly (which I saw at Barnes and Noble awhile back), even down to clothes. Every type of clothing imaginable it seems. Well, except I haven't seen jeans with them as a decoration. Yet. While we speculate, it might be wise to keep an eye out at your local stores for any merch that might fit a clue or two so we can attempt to eliminate some. Then, we can consolidate the remainder and see what that brings us. It's a thought anyway.

Suggestions are easy: Take SF out of the canon,bring back character attachment,treat each console port equally or don't do that port at all,pretend Kaos' mom doesn't exist and that Kaos is a real threat as he was in TFB's games.
And if we have to take bets on which domain that was already registered could be used,Kaos Alliance.It could go both ways,play as the evil guys(as long as it doesn't treat them as too easily defeated and useless,what would be the point of a powerful army if they're not really that),or a resistance inside Kaos' troops. Actually,scratch a bit of that.Take the console SF out of the canon,the 3DS version's story is actually pretty good though the game is lackluster.The old characters are all there,Count Moneybone's cheesiness rivals that of Kaos,Dread-Yacht stays big and falling apart as always. Completely forgot about that.

Well, I have a few ideas, but, most of them are pretty stupid.
Here's one: Gear Shifters: Pretty much, what it is is that there are a few different types of gears, and, you can swap them out with other gears. Each Gear Shifter would come with one of his gears on, and two other gears. I'm not exactly sure, but, I'm thinking about changing what I currently have, to where everyone is either a body type shifter, or a weapon type shifter. Meaning, guys with body type, could only switch with other body type, and vice versa for weapon. Another one: Dual Elements: It needs a better name, I know. Anyway, what it is, is that there are 64 different skylanders, one of each possible combination, even if it's fire/fire. That's pretty much it. I'll post more later.
