Disney Blends Skylanders and Minecraft in Disney Infinity

[Not G. Ivingname]

Why is that they are advertising this without there classic characters making any appearances besides as vechieles?

Why is the oldest guy they using from Nightmare Before Christmas?

 

[Ashadowpie]

as a background they showed Lion King's Pride Rock. im not gunna get this, but i go enjoy seeing Lion King floating around still alive and well lol

* hugs favorite movie of all time *

The Jack Skellington and Jack Sparrow figures are gonna sell like hotcakes, because lets face it. Johnny Depp and the infamous Tim Burton movie both go hand in hand. Larry the Platypus might also sell out too.

 

[Risingblade]

I kinda want this

 

[Shinsei-J]

Seems quite fitting to see Ralph in this.
Though I do like the idea, I don't think I'll get it.

 

[RJ 17]

Alright, apparently I missed the memo...

What exactly IS this? Do you buy the game then buy that special pad and start buying the disks/figures and keep doing so as more come out? If so, this is the biggest con since Genghis!

Now I'm not saying that it doesn't look interesting, just saying that that's a lot of money they could make off of this.

So... does this mean we might finally get Pixar movies in Kingdom Hearts?

 

[Lady Larunai]

All anyone has to do to blow all this out of the water is make a 3d 3rd person pokemon game with these kinds of toys, pokemon will win hands down

 

[Solo-Wing]

I saw No Wall-E or Eve. Interest fadding....

 

[Charli]

Ah, so this is why I don't have Kingdom Hearts 3 yet

Probably the only reason my mode is currently set to 'cynical jerk' regarding this development.

So, I'm not the only one that can only view this with suppressed anger at the thought of this thing being the reason my Kingdom Hearts 3 is being delayed?

Anyway, who exactly is in charge of making this game? Because as much as I love Disney and Pixar, I can't say I've been too crazy about their video games. (Kingdom Hearts doesn't count, I believe Square Enix did most of the work on that, Disney just basically gave them the right to use their characters I think.) I doubt I'm gonna give this a try, probably meant for kids anyway, but we'll see.

Oh I really and truly hope so! I've always wanted to see The Incredibles, Monsters Inc. etc, in a Kingdom Hearts game.

Also, gotta love whenever these Disney topics come up (like with Star Wars) the first few comments is basically "Yeah yeah yeah, so does that mean this is gonna be in Kingdom Hearts or not?" haha.

Square Enix may have done the majority of the work with aid from Disney Interactive Studios, but Disney poured alot of dough into the KH Project. I have a feeling it's run dry recently and that's why only hand held titles are getting through and the big plot/game advancement in the form of the third installment is still on Ice.

So go ahead, be angry.

Not that I'm too pleased with Sqeenix right now either. FF13-3!? What the fudge are they thinking, is that game series really doing that well domestically or globally!? I just can't even brain on that one. That game was full to the brim with unlikable characters. I mean Kingdom Hearts is hokey as all hell and the plot is slightly (okay, extremely)contrived but at least they have fun with it, they're almost slightly aware of how batshit it all is, and the gameplay is way more fun than anything Final Fantasy has ever spat out.

 

[weirdee]

to be honest, it'd be pretty funny if they included a kingdom hearts playset in this game

 

[Scarim Coral]

Sure while it is a blatant rip off from Skylanders but none the less I can easily see this being a huge profit from it.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Huh, as far as kid games go, that looks pretty sweet. Disney loving kids would probably really enjoy that.

 

[Jamous]

I don't see anything to do with minecraft or its mechanics. If there is no resource gathering, then it its just a simple sandbox.

The trailer does seem to suggest that you can create your own world however, and a massive feature of Minecraft is that ability.

That actually seems pretty cool. I certainly know that if I were a kid I'd be going absolutely -mental- for a game that seems to promise what it does. It looks reasonably decent as a game in and of itself, let alone one for children. I probably won't give it a go, but it still looks very cool.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Another cheap ass production to make your kids ring you out for thousands of bucks, even the toys look like ass nevermind the in-game characters.

But as long as this is a guaranteed money printer they will do it, I wonder how long before EA makes one.

 

[Froggy Slayer]

Good idea (ALL THE DISNEY IN ONE WORLD), but flawed, greedy execution. If it wasn't based on getting toys I'd probably be considering it, as well.

ak93]Why is Disney using Nightmare Before Christmas characters... did I miss something?.

They own that franchise. You're late for the party; they even show up in Kingdom Hearts 1.

Larry the Platypus might also sell out too.

PERRY! Perry the Platypus.
It's ok, that made me laugh.

I don't know how I feel about this. The idea seems fun but they're clearly trying to copy Skylanders, and I suspect the hype for Skylanders has lowered.
Whenever Disney tries to do something like that, get in the "kids like this!" wagon, it ends up in failure. I remember when I was excited about Disney Universe. And look how that turned out...
