To [Disney Infinity]...and beyond!

BTW, is it just me or is Disney being a little dumb with the "no mixing" stuff when they let you mix Star Wars and basically screw over SW canon? Like, I saw Clone Wars Anakin fighting Darth Maul - and that was a damn cutscene! They put that in their intro! He was playing through an old-school Star Wars level as Ahsoka. Someone said you can even have Anakin fight Darth Vader, which is like, WTF... My comment was, if they are gonna allow that, why not just friggin' allow you to bring Mickey or whatever in? It's dumb.
Side note, I couldn't tell if it was just something weird with the stream, but the game looked buggy as shit. The graphics were CONSTANTLY flickering, like, really bad (like it was having trouble rendering stuff every so often for a second or two). I *think* this was the PS4 version, which is a little sad. But maybe it was just the stream not recording right? I dunno.
That's how it begins. Your wallet is putting Infinity rehab into your phone's contact list as we speak
Releasing on every single platform is what's killing the game potential. It's a nightmare to do that kind of dev.
Well, which one?
But the flip side is that it's a game primarily aimed at children so it makes sense that they would still support the prior generation if possible (and the Wii U for that matter). It's getting pretty good reviews this round though.
Has there been any word on a PC version this time?
Finished the Tutorials for the Hub and then played until I was off the first planet in the Clone Wars set. After that I did some of the random challenges on the Hub World. I have the Toy Box Takeover disc from pre-order but I haven't played it yet.
So here are a few things that I took away from it.
I didn't have any flickering that Warlock82 mentioned (I'm on XboxOne).
Driving is way improved. I look forward to the Speedway stuff.
Combat is 100% improved. It's probably only going to shine on the 3.0 characters but wow. The combos are fun to try and pull off. Things like jump into the air, force pull, slash, slash, and the force charge. I unloced a move where Sabine jumps into the air, flips upside down, and then spins around shooting everything near her.
In the Hub World I played a Double Dragon-like side view beatum up. It was a lot of fun.
The little I touched in the Clone Wars Playset was more fun than all of the 2.0 ones. For reference the Avengers set bored me, I thought Spiderman was a little better, and Guardians was the best.
I spent a long time looking through the in game store. Lots of obscure references from Old School Disney cartoons (There is an item from All the Cats Join in!) to some obscure characters from Star Wars. Heck there is a character from the Ewok cartoon (Sadly it doesn't look like there are Ewok sidekicks).
In the Ghost vehicle one person can fly and another can shoot from the turret. That's probably only interesting to me because I'm in love with that ugly ass ship.
Finally I watched a lot of videos about the new Toy Box. That Path Tool is a game changer. Another simple thing that should have always been there. If you have a vehicle disc down while building, you can set the vehicle spawner to create the disc item.

Same here. I bought a Wreck-It-Ralph due to the baffling lack of Wreck-It-Ralph merch.
And you didn't get a Vanellope to go with him?
Monster.
So you can finally create a toybox that has disc vehicles without having to always have the disc on the reader? Does it work for tools and packs as well? That has been something that has always annoyed me and made the power discs practically worthless.

I don't know if it works for tools and packs. I saw the vehicle part on one of the devoper videos. Besides playing with some of the options in the Interior I haven't done any creating in the toybox yet. I can look but it will most likely have to be tomorrow night before I can try.

I received The Evil Queen in a random gift, and now she is the Carrot Growing Specialist :biggrin:
My Robin Hood is armed with an Advanced Ricochet Star and his Roman Helmet, but I really would like a Muppet sidekick whom I will stuff all my food into to level him up.
I also found a Camouflage hat which makes me invisible if I pick up my sidekick, but it's very high level...
And a Medic hat so that I can heal...
The worst thing is taking all my minis out of their figure display cases in my display cabinet to put them in the new Hall of Heroes for more experience...
And yes, Sabine's combat combos are very impressive.
Can't Disney pay Platinum studios to make a combat engine where we can have Bayonetta-like combat with our minis?
A bit like that Gamecube platformer that used the Donkey Conga bongos for controlling.
Different game style, same peripherals :winky:
This is forever my favorite Disney Infinity photo, and this is way back in 1.0.

I'm missing Toy Story, Lone Ranger, and Cars. The one I'm thinking about buying at some point is Lone Ranger as I love western themed games. Are the others worth grabbing at some point or skippable? The only figure I have from any of the sets is Buzz at the moment so to play the actual story I'd have to grab a character or two as well.
If you are interested in building in the later versions of the toybox then the playsets are probably worth picking up cheap. In 2.0, and I would assume 3.0 as well, just putting the playset on the reader unlocks all of the toybox content for that world. Again Cars has the short end of the stick but the other two have some pretty interesting stuff to build with.

And yes, it would be mostly for the unlocks in the Toy Box.
Maybe I'll watch some Youtube clips - but it does look like I could grab both non-Cars playsets for $6 each or so, that seems like a safe investment.

2.0 is $29.99.
I will never understand video game pricing.

Wow, I just assumed the $20 PSN price was a one week thing so I went ahead and snatched it since I played both 1.0 (360) and 2.0 (PS4). I was planning to just do toy box stuff with old characters until the playsets hit their first sale but that intro sequence is really testing my resolve about holding out on the clone wars set.
I've only done the hub tutorials for the INterior and the sidekicks but I have a question -- is there an easy way to get to my farm from the tutorial or is that green door over by the farm the easiest way?
My wife and I are loving the way the INterior guests ask Disney trivia and give rewards. As two adult Disney Park nuts, this is what we've wanted from Infinity all along. Answering a question about the Haunted Mansion and getting the hitchhiking ghost sidekicks was the best thing. I still wish they would make more retro playsets though, like how Jack Skellington and Aladdin have figures but never had a proper playset.
You can plant crops on the plots that are on the hub. You can also just start a new toybox and put farm plots there, that is probably the easiest way to do it. It saves you from having to start at the hub and then go to the farm.
The trivia is fun. I like that they mix it between Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars.

That's awesome advice about making a toybox dedicated to it. I assumed you had to plant in that one area because of how it said you have to pay 5000 sparks to use the neighboring plots in the tutorial area.
Thanks!
The 2.0 starter set often gets sales, some as low as $20 if I remember correctly. May as well get those figures and the two Toy Box discs.

Oh, I've got the 2.0 edition, but if it was 10 bucks or so to own it digitally I was up for that.
Anakin, both in the game and the toy figure, looks a little off to me, because his design doesn't have the sharp angles that I associate with The Clone Wars and previous Infinity characters.
Ahsoka is spot on, though. Like she just stepped out of the show.
I am bummed we didn't get a Captain Rex. Not every Clone Wars character had to be a Jedi.
So there are a bunch of Astromechs in the Toybox store, but I don't see a Chopper. With all the Rebels stuff included this is a pretty big let down for me. I'm still going to make a Rebels toybox but I want a Chopper.

I should have one in a few weeks when my stuff comes in for my November WDW trip. What console are you on?

And then I ended up also buying Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ezra Bridger, Quorra and Sam Flynn

Phooey, if you were on the Wii U we could have gotten into a toy box together and I could have unlocked it for you.

We'll be down here to catch you, Vow.
As usual, the first-boot intro is really cool, though nothing will beat the awe and wonder of the original game's release.

Good because I also bought the 2.0 starter pack today
I'm on PS4 and haven't had any problems so far.
1.0 on PS3 vs. 3.0 on PS4 is night and day
