Disney Infinity

Warn your bank managers: Disney are heading straight at your wallet with their own riff on Activision's Skylanders series.

*link countdown in...5 DAYS*

Interactive figurines, "power discs" and all that jazz. I know there's a few Skylanders fanatics on GNamer - whether you're one of them or not, are you excited about Disney Infinity?

Gaah. It depends on the character roster, to be honest, and how well they all work in the game. Ultimately, it'll probably be one of those games that I'd like to play but never buy due to the expense.

hey! phlips, is that link the released trailer? If so why don't you just drop a 'W' off the start?

Or just post the link?

You're welcome.

wait a minute! do links work now?

Yup!

Or they should do, anyway. Try it out!

I'm a bigger Skylanders fan than is probably necessary, so as such, knowing very little about this game thus far makes me see it as an incoming rip-off. Skylanders is a really solid game that doesn't really get enough credit for what it does well, so I'd urge them to try it first.

It would be great if this turned out to be a genuinely good game. The last thing we need is a cheap rip-off stinking up the newly-established tangible DLC market.

The trailer looks good, but at £14.99 each the figures are a little too pricey for my liking.

Are kids really all that into Pirates of the Caribbean also? I thought that was more of a late teen/adult thing.

*Bumping an ancient thread*

So, anyone picked this up yet?

I keep seeing a load of commercials for this on TV for the Wii U version - it's like the game doesn't exist on any other format.

This is an odd one. I've decided not to buy it but it's not been made available in my local Tesco. I find that strange; it's surely a real money-spinner, to the right market.

Game are coincidentally giving it a huge backing, can't move without seeing something Disney Infinity, £15 per figure is pricey though compared to Skylanders. It's something I'd definitely go for myself if I had a lot of disposable income.

I noticed that. Good coup on their part I suppose.

I won't be picking this up though. Not a big Disney fan (unless you count Marvel, 'natch).

I'm very tempted by this; though the figures are super dear, and I'm a bit disappointed with the overall variety of the franchises covered by the figures, if I'm being honest. And Jack Skellington won't be out for ages.

EDIT

I bought it.

I've only managed to spend about twenty minutes with it so far. Everything else seems to be getting in the way at the moment. Disney fans will appreciate the intro to the Toy Box mode. It kinda reminds me of Flower on PSN. After that so far, I've only managed to finish a couple of fetch quests in the Monsters University story mode.
