Just announced at the Giant Bomb PAX panel apparently, though I'm unable to watch right now. Tweets!

1:

Holy shit, @JohnVignocchi just announced during the Giant Bomb panel that Ninja Theory is working on Disney Infinity 2.0.

2:

Ninja Theory is bringing their combat experience to Disney Infinity. They're making Loki, Green Goblin, Ronan and Princess Jasmine.

 

[Nirolak]

I figured they were assisting other projects when they said they had quite a few projects with publishers, but I didn't guess this one.

 

[Final Boss]

Edit: thinking of wrong dev

 

[nckillthegrimace]

"Combat experience?"

 

[Nirolak]

Not sure how I feel about this after NG3

Not Team Ninja.

 

[alr1ght]

DI combat must be pretty bad to begin with to hire NT.

 

[JehutyRunner]

Ah, it's not streaming anyways, so I wouldn't be able to watch even if I wanted to...which I can't anyways.

 

[DVCY201]

Not sure how I feel about this after NG3

Isn't that Team Ninja?

EDIT: You realized it already.

I've never played Disney Infinity. Are these supposed to be combat heavy?

 

[botty]

Am I allowed to speak?


edit: hopefully the combat system is a bit more compelling than the original. Parry would be cute.

 

[Deleted member 74300]

Where is my Donte figure?

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinity make it happen.

 

[oti]

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean for a game like DI.

 

[Neuromancer]

Hey whatever pays the bills until Hellblade comes out.

 

[LiK]

That's great.

 

[RE_Player]

Gotta pay those bills. So are they doing a playset or something?

 

[Richie]

Invest said combat experience in epic Donald tantrums and I'm there day one.

 

[inky]

Edit: thinking of wrong dev

Both are technically Ninja Dog Teams so I can understand the confusion.

 

[mreddie]

I liked DmC so cool.

 

[Neoxon]

Gotta pay those bills. So are they doing a playset or something?

Avalanche is doing the Avengers & Ultimate Spider-Man play sets, while Studio Gobo is doing the Guardians of the Galaxy play set.

 

[RE_Player]

Avalanche is doing the Avengers & Ultimate Spider-Man play sets, while Studio Gobo is doing the Guardians of the Galaxy play set.

Thanks.

 

[Zomba13]

Their simplistic combat design will fit right in with Disney Infinity.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Not Team Ninja.

I almost made a "Disney Infinity: Other D" joke. Luckily I googled around first.

Seriously, I get those confused all the time

 

[Neoxon]

Thanks.

They're the only 3 Marvel franchises that are getting play sets, so Ninja Theory is only working on those 4 characters & the combat of the game.

If we get anymore characters like Doctor Strange or Captain Marvel, they'll be solo figures that may work with certain play sets.

 

[CaptainSchwann]

Their simplistic combat design will fit right in with Disney Infinity.

Lol

 

[Mockingbird]

Their simplistic combat design will fit right in with Disney Infinity.

ahahahahahahaha

 

[oti]

Next up: Ariel the Mermaid Play Set, developed by Platinum Games.

 

[Astral Dog]

Where is my Donte figure?

.

Oh dear God

 

[BronsonLee]

Am I allowed to speak?

Fuck no!

Is it Normal Ronan or Powered Up Ronan? Also...wtf

 

[Silky]

Walt Disney presents I can do air cancels all by myself

 

[ambar_hitman]

This. Perfect.

 

[Taruranto]

Where is my Donte figure?

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinity make it happen.

I want it just to see the reactions.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Looking forward to getting this on WiiU. Daughter will love it.

Ninja Theory being on board is interesting. But it seems more like a workhorse contracting deal.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I don't know that I want them dragging down Disney Infinity's combat.

 

[LeBart]

"Combat experience?"

Oh c'mon now.

 

[fleck0]

With this and Platinum making Korra - the third announcement will be From Software making a Spongebob game.

 

[Snaku]

Disney took a look at DmC and thought, "Yes, I want them to do that to Mickey."

This scenario actually took place.

 

[nomis]

"Combat experience?"

Yup... DmC combat... simple...

If their only game was Enslaved you might have more than 12% of a point.

 

[Silky]

I don't know that I want them dragging down Disney Infinity's combat.

What combat? Let's be real, combat isn't infinitys strongest points

Yup... DmC combat... simple...

DmC's combat is incredibly simplistic in comparison to other action games. Not as brain dead as GoWs but still pretty easy to pick up and learn the complex maneuvers in minutes.

 

[Qblivion]

DmC's combat is incredibly simplistic in comparison to other action games.

Ugh. You people. DmC's combat is simple compared to Devil May Cry, which is nearly Street Fighter tier complexity. DmC is pretty average as far as difficulty goes and is not bad by any reasonable definition.

 

[Neuromancer]

Disney took a look at DmC and thought, "Yes, I want them to do that to Mickey."

This scenario actually took place.

Actually I'm sure they just thought, this is a competent team that can do this job for us in a timely fashion.

 

[UltraGunner]

"Combat Experience"

 

[mrmickfran]

The first game to have swearing Disney characters?

 

[TetraGenesis]

DmC's combat is incredibly simplistic in comparison to other action games. Not as brain dead as GoWs but still pretty easy to pick up and learn the complex maneuvers in minutes.

Which is why I loved it.

 

[nomis]

Which is why I loved it.

Yeah, I'm not seeing the logic that a developer only has relevant combat experience if they have nigh impenetrable combo mechanics. Combat in DmC was good.

 

[Monocle]

Yeah, I'd say NT's combat design matches what you'd expect from action gameplay in a Disney game. That's a cheap shot but quite honestly when you fuck up a reboot of the genre defining action series (before Bayonetta anyway), you deserve all the cheap shots.

BRB, need to stop by McDonald's for their health-conscious fast food alternatives before I say anything more about NT's combat experience.

Play DMC3, lol.

 

[Caddle]

Aren't you people tired of that elitist bullshit with DMC, the ninja theory game wasn't bad at all.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Their simplistic combat design will fit right in with Disney Infinity.

I don't see how this is a punchline; I totally agree with this statement.

Ninja Theory is a great fit for this game.

Aren't you people tired of that elitist bullshit with DMC, the ninja theory game wasn't bad at all.

And I agree with this as well.

 

[Monocle]

Aren't you people tired of that elitist bullshit with DMC, the ninja theory game wasn't bad at all.

Kobe beef vs. a decent hamburger.

 

[Renekton]

DmC combat system was pretty good. It had some decent weight and transitions to the character animations.

Pick it up on a Steam sale, you won't regret it.

 

[Meffer]

Now Infinity will have that "60 fps feel" to it.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Now Infinity will have that "60 fps feel" to it.

Lol, forgot about that one.
