Xbox 360, PS3, and 3DS versions 99.99% confirmed

riverhippo · Apr 19, 2011 12:37 PM

Bestbuy.com has pre-orders ffor Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of this game. The ETA for the game is set for October 1st, 2011, a day later than the announced released date.

The title has also appeared as an upcoming title on PS3trophies.org

The 3DS version per-order was found at VideoGameCentral.com.

PC versions have also been popping up, but like any PC release of a title, it's questionable how the content of the game will differ from the console versions. It looks compatible with Windows XP and newer.

And in addition, preemptive pre-orders on amazon.com feature the "Adventure Pack" which was speculated to be an item only available at Toys'R'Us. And strangely, a PC "Adventure Pack" is being listed at only $59.99 with a price guarantee attached to it.

Figures...Not worth it unless i see what it contains

The sooner this game comes out and I can see if it's good or bad, the better. Course I've got a bad feeling the Skylanders vs. Classic vs. Legend debate will rage on for years to come, but at least I'll be able to form an opinion other than generic optimism...

So is there a pre-order Wii version anywhere? And what's the difference between an "Adventure pack" and a non-Adventure pack game? Does the non-adventure just come with Spyro for those of us who don't want any toys?

your going to fork out $59.99 just to see if a games okay?

wow...

JazzJackrabbit · Apr 23, 2011 12:45 PM

I was going to wait until the guinea pigs try it...

...but then I realized they can't reach the buttons.

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Plus I own darn near every single Spyro game out there, so I'll be darned if I stop now, gosh dang it! Also I just have a bit of extra money, and it's not like I'll be buying all the toys or anything...

Mr. John · Apr 23, 2011 11:38 PM

I should rent it. But of course I will have to pay for the toys.

Jackson117 · Apr 24, 2011 12:25 AM

Some of the toys look ideal as a collection, of course so far Spyro is the only one worth preserving

$59.99 is not a lot to pay for a game. I think a new Call of Duty game costs around $60 and if you pre-order, you always get exclusive stuff. MW2 had night-vision goggles. cool

I hope that the portal thing will be responsive. Let's look at a game where the toy thing did not work out because Activision just had to rush it:

TONY HAWK RIDE.

[And the game plus the skateboard cost $129.99. Just to let you know.]

36IStillLikeSpyro36 · Apr 24, 2011 10:08 PM

that's still $60 for a video game. i don't care how much other franchises try to milk out of us, it's still not right/cheap.

we're in a recession; it's not a good idea to go throwing big numbers around like that when so many families are struggling.
and even if we weren't, that's still $60 for cheap entertainment. i would agree completely with parents who didn't buy this for their kids, no video game is worth $60.

It may be not right, but put yourself in the developer's shoes. They have so many costs involved, and that includes hiring Hans Zimmer (a LOT of money) and all the voice actors and actresses. Plus, yearly developer costs on all of those consoles and they only get 70% of their earnings regardless. The other 30% goes to Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony.

$60 for a game is pretty standard in the gaming industry - but around $130 on a game which doesn't even work is still outrageous.

riverhippo · Apr 25, 2011 1:19 PM

i would imagine some sort of demo will be released, and it wont require any toys to sample it out. The way Activision has released information makes me think they want to promote the hell out of it when the time comes.

But it's not a Spyro game. It's a "monsters with weird weapons" game.

I believe what you meant to say is "It's not a Classic or Legend of Spyro game, it's a Skylanders Spyro game," in which case my response is "SO WHAT?! I HAPPEN TO LIKE MONSTERS WITH WEIRD WEAPONS!"

Ya know, this game IS missing something though.

PONIES!!!!!!

Stormy · Apr 25, 2011 9:20 PM

Anyone could have said "it's not a Spyro game" when DotD came out. Or when ANB came out. Or when ETD came out. Or hell, even when Ripto's Rage came out. They're different from the original, so they're not really Spyro games, right? It's like, if it's different and you don't like it, it's not Spyro.

There's just no objective way to say what makes Spyro Spyro. Other than just going by what the title of the game says, of course. What people are saying Spyro is is actually what it was. It's not that anymore; it's this now. I don't mean to say "just shut up and like it" or anything like that, but that's just how it is.

Trigger Happy shoots ponies for sport. Then the ponies are reincarnated as butterflies, which he feeds to Sparx.

That is exactly what I was going to say. I'd be all like, "SO WHAT?! I HAPPEN TO LIKE MONSTERS WITH WEIRD WEAPONS! ALSO WHAT DOES AND DOESN'T COUNT AS 'SPYRO' IS SUBJECTIVE AND WE SHOULD RESPECT EACHOTHER'S OPINIONS!" I was just about to edit that into my post, but you beat me to it. Oh well, guess you could never hope to be as philisophical as I am... big_smile

From what I see, some MLP characters are slightly badass.

Spash the Bandragon · Apr 26, 2011 1:15 AM

Does it feel to anyone else like all the conversations in this forum lately have turned into debates about Skylanders vs Classic and My Little Pony? Does nobody else find this annoying and/or strange? It's like, when this topic started all I did was express interest in buying this game, and then some random internet person went "Why would you buy this crap it's too expensive and different wah wah yadda yadda!" and now we're talking about My Little Pony.

Actually, in retrospect, never mind. I don't think there's really anything else to say about Skylanders at this early point...

And this is what i look like after repeated memes

S240sx24 · May 06, 2011 5:10 AM

Great now I'll have to be selling this game in my store. I thought it was only gonna be a Toys R us exclusive. guess not. I still think its a gimmick especially when you have to buy toys to play other characters. Although I feel that they are marketing this differently just because spyros logo has changed big time it aint SPYRO skylanders adventure, and have his trademark logo on it like all the previous games had its different and it names spyro in smaller letters and not in bold like his previous titles did.
