welp, if you've got kids, kiss your money goodbye. Hell, if you don't have kids even. Any thoughts?

adam · Jan 2013

Well I'm sold -- looks awesome!

Andreas · Jan 2013

I like the idea, I'm just not sure why they had to Disney-fy Disney designs. Their heads are a tad too big in-game and their fingers too short, I'll bet the animators were less than delighted at that.

It's got good prospects though, if they get more out of it than just a cheap cash-in. The Incredibles in the same universe as Toy Story? Yes please.

The Mad Artist · Jan 2013

I think it looks great. If I was a kid I'd be driving my parents nuts about this.

ambershee · Jan 2013

Brb. Finding a new girlfriend for the sake of my bank balance.

Andreas · Jan 2013

I wonder if they'll be compatible with the readers on Wii-U gamepads... or will we need to buy the bases too.

No Wall-E?

glottis8 · Jan 2013

They'll be releasing sets of movies as they come out with new movies and stuff. So that means more characters and features of what they can do in game. This should be pretty big i think.

.polygon · Jan 2013

there are some good screenshots on the polygon link above (that show art/concept/toys) and that site has a few more articles about our game.

Finally, been waiting for something like this to come along.

Always love the Disney stuff, too bad I didn't work on these i would have loved it congrats to those that did, I hate you.

And shit at the end you see Wreck-it Ralph... Grrr!

Edit:
Didn't want to flame them for the Sky-landers thing...I thought that was a given.

Jesse Moody · Jan 2013

TeeJay, Skylanders is great fun. i play with my son and it really is fun. I've also played solo. It is a really cool mechanic and the games fun in general.

leslievdb · Jan 2013

My little nephews cant shut up about skylanders so im sure this will be an even bigger hit because of these known disney ips. im sure they`ll make a lot of money of this.

Autocon · Jan 2013

Oh well done Disney. This looks great, loving the art style, and so smart to capitalize on the success of skylanders with Disney IP character.

I must have a little Wall-E for my desk, they better make one!

praetus · Jan 2013

I'm more interested to know about how they'll branch out after the initial release. From what I can tell 'Skylanders' has new packs that come out or series I guess? Being as most the Infinity characters are from recent Disney releases (I'm assuming because they're more identifiable with kids right now) do you think they'll eventually touch on some of the older classics as well? I think it'd be neat if they had a Robin Hood set with Sherwood Forest or maybe Aladdin with Carpet for racing.

Also, if no one has considered it....Disney does own Marvel and Star Wars now too...I'll just let that sink in for a moment.

"Beyond" expansion pack is inevitable.

mutatedjellyfish · Jan 2013

Yo, homepersons! I'm an environment artist on Disney Infinity's Toybox mode. Glad you like the game so far!

If you're curious, me and 2 other guys worked on most of the stuff in the announce trailer after the 1:43 timestamp (and much, much more). Never a dull moment when you're juggling toy-styled assets for 20+ separate Disney properties!

JasonLavoie · Jan 2013

Very very cool, and LOVE the style. Very interested to see how this does compared to Activision's Skylanders.

Awesome work so far to the team FO SHO!

alexk · Jan 2013

So... were' gonna see some Star Wars in it too right? RIGHT?

C-3PO and Wall-E, make it happen.

I hope someone somewhere has a patent on this tech, because they are soon to be stinking rich.

JacqueChoi · Jan 2013

I want.

Also. WTF? How is there not an Incredibles 4-player co-op brawler yet???!

thepapercut · Jan 2013

Am I the only one who is hoping for something from treasure planet to pop up?

Andreas · Jan 2013

The base is very classy looking, I like it.

Unimpressed with the fact that they're even going to be milking money out of people with power-ups and levels, not just characters. But it's Disney, so not a huge surprise.

I would say characters will be around 15 euros each, with power-ups at 5 (y'know, the perfect point for a weekly treat that children can reasonably demand)

I wonder if they'll give power-up discs with Happy Meals etc.?

I guess we already know what Christmas 2014's biggest toy is.

ambershee · Jan 2013

They're cheaper than that, even if you translate $1 = E1 actually (with discounted sets also available):

skylebones · Jan 2013

Congrats to my friends at avalanche! This game looks amazing and I know you've been putting in a ton of hard work!

Autocon · Aug 2013

I want a Wall-E, Eve, Wreck it Wralph, Buzz, Woody, Jack Skellington and about 10 others...

Oh how my wallet is really not gona like this game.

BlvdNights · Aug 2013

I've been hooked on this since launch day. Only problem was having to play all the campaigns/playsets to unlock toys and spins to use for a week before actually having the flexibility build things in the toy box (kind of blew my mind they would have simple and necessary things like their visual scripting toys in their slot machine type mechanic.)

Even with that, I've been staying up late the last few nights just building new types of maps and playing around with scripting bits. It's a lot of fun! Anyone else play on Xbox?

praetus · Apr 2014

I'm sure you guys liked having money. Welp, now they're bringing in some of the Marvel universe. The live show is having some difficulties but in it we saw Nick Fury, Black Widow, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Loki, M.O.D.O.K., Green Goblin, and Spiderman.
