Activision unfazed by Disney Infinity

Disney is going to wipe the floor with them.

Bobby kotic's reaction to disney infinity:

LOL good luck...

This looks like it takes so inspiration from Disney Universe (if you haven't played that, that is a compliment) I just hope they gear this towards general audiences.  I don't want to breeze through this being 19.

My kids absolutely LOVE Skylanders. As much as I love Disney movies, etc I have my reservations about this product. For one the graphics and hack-slash gameplay in Skylanders are top notch. I'm not impressed with the Disney game yet, I need to see more. So far the graphics looks kind of dated and stiff to me.

The main thing with me is this...yes, Disney has created some great characters and worlds, but we've seen them all before over and over for years. I feel like with the Disney game I have seen it all before. Skylanders is making cool new characters, and their powers evolve as you level them up.

I agree with what a lot of people are saying..let's see a Pokemon spin on this. My kids would go nuts for that. They are crazy about Pokemon.

I would also love to see a Marvel take on this.

Say what you will, Disney's worlds are a million times better than Spyro's to me.

Big sweat behind Activition's head by now.

"and are pouring more creativity into our games"

ROFLMAO

Come on Nintendo! Why aren't you doing this with Pokemon?!

Obviously they aren't going to admit they are worried but in reality they are very scared, Toy Story, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Incredibles are huge and lots of kids know who they are, Spyro not so much.

well they should be worried, my fiance doesnt really do games, she will play the odd simple thing with me in co-op, like the lego games or something, but the second she saw the trailer for this she decided she wanted the game and to collect every single character they ever make for it, so i recon Disney are on to a winner with this one

I don't plan to buy neither of the games, but Spyro's portal and toys look much, much better (even if the gameplay in Disney's game seems funnier, especially if you consider a map editor).

lets see how much disney will charge for them 

Beware Activision.

Yeah what's there to be worried about? It's not like Disney has 100s of characters that people actually recognise as a opposed to just spyro....

And that's not including starwars or marvel characters

Wonder how much those figures are going to cost. Please no more than 5 bucks a piece. Unless each character brings with them new levels, editing items, missions, etc. 10 bucks for each Skylander was a bit much when all you get is a digital version of it in game (not including the adventure packs). If they're planning on June 2013, that's very ambitious indeed. Don't be a rushed product...please!

activision is unfazed cause its a swirling black mass of shit that only eats your money.

Activision- just make a level editor in Skylanders and you're golden. I like the ideas Disney Infinity brings, which will make Activision and Visceral try new things with Skylanders. Toys to Life is a market I'd like to see more diversity in. Sales will shift towards Disney Infinity, but I don't see Skylanders being affected as long as Activision allows new ideas to surface. If Star Wars gets into this I can see some big competition. Time will tell. I can see myself collecting those toys and playing with my girls. They will love this stuff.

Screw Skylanders! You have Toys For freakin' Bob on your payroll! Buy Star Control back from Atari and put them to work on making a real Star Control 3!

It will be interesting to see if Disney puts Star Wars characters into this.

Disney Infinite's main advantage is it's memorable characters, whom we can all relate to and recognize, from the kids to the adults. 

Skylander's on the other hand, gives more of a sense of discovering a new monster in a Pokemon Knock-off.

Plus, who doesn't want to play as Mr. Incredible with a Buzz Lightyear wing-pack, and in a level you made youeself?

Don't be so sure Activision, Disney can sell these like there's no tomorrow at Disney World.  They just added a new fantasyland expansion, which is designed more for girls, so for boys all they have to do is sell something attached to a video game and boom, sales of these in parks goes wild.

I hate Skylanders. Its success means we'll likely never see a new Star Control.

Traditionally, Disney has had a difficult time making big splashes with their franchises in the video game realm.  What may make this latest venture different is the toy angle- a market they have mastered.

Disney can eventually add both Marvel and LucasArts (and possibly Kingdom Hearts) characters to Disney Infinity. I know those will sell.

If only they'd make a game of this using Pokemon.

Disney has even more marketing experience than Activision, and they have those big franchises, and parents willing to buy Disney collectibles.  I'd say it's good competition.  Arrogant Activision.  Like Rock Band wasn't a threat, right?

Activision knew they could create a piece of shit game and that stupid parents and kids would buy it because it has the gimmick of way overpriced figures. Pretty sure Disney well make a crappy game also.

I really don't think, EVEN with Pixar and Disney characters, this game will sell as much as Skylander has.

Disney characters, Pixar characters, more gaming appeal to little girls compared to Skylanders AND with Disney backing it...I don't see how Activision can claim to keep a monopoly on this market :P
