What we know about this game

the flight and "suspending" abilities given to characters that can earn it will probably grant the player to access special areas that you can't walk to.

I saw the sheep (pretty neat, by the way), but I didn't catch the gems. I saw a lot of ring-like things, though. What are they for?

Only a few gems looked like classic style. It was when Ignitor opened the chest, I think. And I have no idea what the collectables are or do in this game.

Most of the items relate with upgrading abilities and special moves.

So, basically it's like Ratchet and Clank?

If Spyro would have another classic game, which is looking more likely than it was in the LOS days, I think it would borrow aspects of Ratchet and Clank and build it from there.
And I hope that the PS3 version would be the same as the Wii version. On Wikipedia, it's said that another developer is developing it. hmm

According to this interview by one of the producers, Skylanders is in alpha stage (near completion); the gameplay we saw in E3 is in that stage:

Finally some footage of Spyro gameplay. I agree with the guy this game does not seem like it's about Spyro at all. The spotlight should be on him.

It bugs me that the camera seems to be hovering above the characters instead of being behind them.

So far, I've counted 17 characters total available for pre-order. Also, in the question of having to buy 'more of the same character' because of the 3 packs: actually, as of right now, no conflict keeps you from doing so. The only exception is the Legendary three pack which has a Spyro. The other two in this pack have their 'original' non-legendary version available for individual packs.

Still have no idea what the legendary label means. They are the same price as the other three packs.

Here are the 17 characters, and how you wouold buy them as of right now:

The game:
-Spyro (also legendary 3 pack)
-Gill Grunt
-Trigger Happy

3 pack:
-Voodoo
-Prism Break (also individual pack)
-Boomer

Individual packs:
-Eruptor
-Flameslinger
-Zap
-Stealth Elf
-Stump Smash
-Chop Chop (also legendary 3 pack)
-Drobot
-Bash (also legendary 3 pack)
-Sonic Boom

Special item packs:
-Ghost Roaster
-Terrafin

This is all subject to change of course, but it ruins the thought of 16 of the 32 being available at launch.

And according to Amazon.com, there are three 3 packs, and twelve single character packs. They just have no pictures and are unavailable.

And for the 17 charries, all of these and the game can be yours for only US $201.87! Before taxes anyway...

I think you forgot the 3DS toys, riverhippo.

Don't forget two new Skylanders: Dino-rang and Zook.

These are the only ones I could find for purchase. If you can find me a link, it would be enlightening.

What's the name of the water dragon? I want to get that character when the game comes out.

Aura24 · Aug 16, 2011 11:12 PM

The water dragon's name is Zap.

Thank you, Aura. Appreciate it. big_smile

reviewed the trailers and found this guy, who we now recognize as one of the water elemented creatures.

Also, there is another three pack, with Drobot, Flamslinger, and Stump Smash. A few more individual packs have been revealed which suggest that buying the characters you want without buying the ones you don't want sounds to be a little easier than expected. Also, the package art for these packs looks absolutely amazing. I'm gonna find it very hard rippin them open, lol.

The yeti-like Water elemental Skylander is called Slam-Bam.

And more gameplay:
