Fucking dumb we might get Iron Man playable before Donald or Goofy lol
Well, the game isn't as popular as they thought it would be. Not surprised that they are pulling the Marvel card in an act of desperation. I imagine Star Wars will follow suit in the coming months. And even then it will probably be just the figurines that people buy.
Probably not. You can't play characters in playsets they're not designed for. Everyone can play in toybox mode however.
From the trailer it seems as if that's certain in Toybox mode
Can any Skylanders characters play in its story mode? If so Disney should of just allowed Pirates to play in Cars playset, etc. and not be so protective of each Brand.

Since all the marvel characters exist in the same fictional universe, the marvel version should be more like skylanders (I hope).
Uhhhh.. what? Do you have some basis for this statement or is it just "Sales from my Ass: Volume 13"? Because there have been a ton of articles (and financial reports, etc) that say the exact opposite thing.

?
Edit: Oops maybe not this looks like marvel only, that Darth statue may be just a statue then, not infinity related
Plus it doesn't match the style of the game at all

Sales may of exceeded expectations but people seem to be incredibly unsatisfied with it.
Especially with the way content is locked to characters/franchises made it very frustrating to my 4 year old.
We traded it in for more Skylanders.

Doing that would force them to make the gameplay experience be the same across all universes. Which would be shitty.
The open world sea ship stuff in Pirates wouldn't work with Cars, and the puzzle like structure of Monsters U wouldn't make sense with Jack Sparrow.
How so? I think watching Mater steer the Black Pearl would be hilarious, especially if each range of characters had extra properties e.g. Cars instantly die when in water.
You don't have to make the experience vanilla - they should of allowed all characters to be allowed in all playsets though. I don't see how having a humanoid character from Brand A wouldn't make sense to have humanoid character from Brand B in it .... to me that would be the whole point of this, not some Toybox mode thing.

Does anyone think Infinity will eventually come to the PS4 ?
I agree with that - it has the base for a good game but they didn't make a good game out of it. We spent more on Infinity but actually played Skylanders SF to the end because you can just you know, take your character and play the game. They need to make some big changes for the next one.
But the idea that they are desperate for money after the failure of the first game is ridiculous.

I wish they would look like that! I really disliked how the human characters were designed, especially Jack Sparrow. A shame if the Marvel ones follow suit.
This is how feel as well. We were looking forward to Infinity, but the game simply isn't very fun.
I was burned once by the kids wanting Skylanders and ending up spending a fortune on figurines to unlock the game. It would have to be a pretty spectacular game to make me want to suffer that again.
As an aside I'm surprised no one has figured a way to "rip" the RFID codes from retail packs with a phone and play them back by sticking the phone on a stand.

Doing that would force them to make more crazy stuff, which should be the whole point of this game. Create some story around how the worlds collided and let people swap character in and out at any time. Disney already has released Cars products to use in (and under) water; so is not like they're against any crazy ideas. Put characters in boats in water stages, gave them wings or jetpacks to flying levels, etc.
But instead, Infinity was like playing the separate standalone games for each franchise in one package...and in some cases (like Toy Story 3 and Cars 2) the standalone games were already better and cheaper too than buying the 2 figures + disc sets.
The figures were nice collectibles at least, but the actual use in game left a lot to be desired. Was the equivalent of playing Assassin's Creed II with the (limited edition) Ezio statue right next to your TV, since the figurines do basically nothing.
There's still some promise, hopefully they fix a ton of things on this year's game..and hopefully make a more Disney oriented game at some point. Seeing how even Mickey was left not only as one of the last figurines to be officially released, but used only on Toy Box was disappointing.
Star Wars characters will probably ripped from Clone Wars, since it's close the visual style of Infinity.
