Didn't swap force just come out lol?!?

JoeIsMad3697d ago

They launch new titles annually, just like the Call of Duty series.

Hopefully this means Skylanders on the PS4 and Xbone, at least.

^ swap force is already on ps4/xbo
edit: nvm didnt see discussion below

I feel like I would play these games if the action figures weren't involved.

Like if I could just go spend $30 and have EVERYTHING I'd give it a try, but I understand it's more for kids so I'm also not sure how much I'd enjoy it.

Probably a full on game. I think they wanted this to be an annual franchise like Call of Duty and Disney Infinity.

amnalehu3697d ago

Skylanders is already on the PS4 and Xbone.

JoeIsMad3697d ago

Infinity is not yet on Xbone and PS4. That's the point here.

randomass1713696d ago

Huh, strange. I thought it was a launch title. I know it's a Wii U title. I guess they don't feel enough kids were buying PS4s and Xbox Ones.

amnalehu3697d ago

I just saw,

"Hopefully this means Skylanders on the PS4 and Xbone, at least"

I've never heard of Skylanders Infinity. Do you mean Disney Infinity?

MilkMan3697d ago

This is why I didn't even bother with that last crap. My kids forgot about Skylanders anyway.

DryBoneKoopa853697d ago

You should give at least Swap Force a go. I liked Swap Force A LOT more then Spyro's Adventure and Giants. Plus the characters are really cool. Try to find a copy on Ebay.I was able to get a PS4 copy for like $30 bucks.

randomass1713696d ago

If you're kid's are not interested then there definitely is a lot less incentive. I'm only interested in Disney Infinity since my family loves Disney to death.

MilkMan3696d ago

The Disney one is better in my opinion BUT its less focused. Its needs better structure. My kids turn it on look confused and then turn it off.

The Rise and Fall of Near Field Communication Games

In theory, the idea of using physical toys to complement video games seems completely bulletproof. Who wouldn’t want to immerse themselves in virtual lands all while having an actual toy to accompany them throughout their journey into the unknown? Players’ imaginations know no bounds, and that’s exactly what toys-to-life games are all about—they bring toys to life. What could go wrong, right?

Of course gamers are a part of their creative process.. creatively finding new ways to milk them.

Princess_Pilfer2521d ago

Which, sadly, works because their customers are too stupid, ignorant or weak to take a stand and refuse to buy their stuff until they change.

peppeaccardo2521d ago

He meant "revenue process" ... :) ... I for once not buying any CoD crap right after Modern Warfare and sticking to it.

TheOttomatic912521d ago

No shit but we are apart of financial success or failure I certainly hope you haven't forgotten that Eric.
