Well after my big post about this in the Skylanders thread can't say I was surprised to see this happen. Starter set includes Jack Sparrow, Sully from Monters University, and Mr. Incredible and the Infinity platform which in the video looks very thin compared to the Portal of Power. Biggest thing however looks like there is a level editor to play with. So far in the video it shows characters from the 3 series above as well as Toy Story, Cars, Nightmare Before Christmas, Phineas and Ferb, Wreck-It Ralph, Dumbo, and Aladdin

Kotaku - You'll be able to play as Jack Sparrow, Woody or any other Disney Character in the crazy ambitious Disney Infinity

So the level-editing of Little Big Planet, the building element of Minecraft, the figure collecting of Skylanders and it's a Disney crossover game?

But... but Disney... I NEEDED that money.

Edit: Oh, and the powerups are sold in Blind Bags? No, no that's fine Disney just feed into every single one of my addictions at once. It's cool.

Those are only the power ups though, I'm assuming they should be easily ignored - or just purchased on the secondary market.

Needs some awesome Disney Afternoon love still to make it a must buy but It's definitely creaking my wallet open some.

The promo logo also shows FrankenWeenie, & Wreck it Ralph

As Muppet Studios is a seperate entity to Disney Proper, this means other separate, but owned groups could show up in this....ie. Marvel & Star Wars (and Indiana Jones).

I don't know about these games, though...are they morpgs? single player? Looks like it's not avail for PC or Mac, so likely I'm out (but not out of wallet )

I'm a bit disturbed that they aren't promoting it with any Disney Classics characters, mostly just Pixar and Touchstone and Disney Channel and other offshoot properties. I'm sure the classics will be in there, but it's kind of sad that Disney doesn't think they're relevant enough to market the game with.

What's weird is that me, a life long disney fan (and share holder) didn't even notice the lack of mice or ducks, but didn't feel like "Oh, those aren't TRUE Disney characters"...Mine was more of a "one big happy family under the D". (and i was jazzed seeing Jack holding the Pixar bouncing ball)

I understand it's a generational thing. Captain Jack and Sully and Lightning McQueen are more popular today than Simba and Aladdin and Beast were when I was a kid. The characters Disney chooses to use for marketing are based on what's currently popular, so I'll just have to get over that.

I'm sure there's a 90 year-old man sitting bitter somewhere because Disney no longer chooses to market its products with Horace Horsecollar and Clara Cluck. He probably has his arms folded, thinking "Damn youngsters with their Tinkerbells and their Ludwig von Drakes and their Scrooge McDucks... NOT IN MY DAY!"

Maybe, but iirc, I have a few years on you.

Actually, the lack of Tinkerbell given the fairies push is a bit weird, too...obviously the marketers are saying "girls don't play games" but you'd think a token appearance would be there.

Of course, there's a lot of months between now and launch, so things like Agriba and Pride Rock have plenty of time (if not a whole 2nd enditon, add on pack whatever)

Shame this probably won't get me any Gravity Falls figs.

If only Disney would start caring for such shows. They have a huge fandom. Especially Garogyles.

Also, put some classics like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in there.

[Confuzor]

I wouldn't count out TV show characters, the initial promo image on their FB page shows Perry the Platypus and Phineas (but no Ferb?).

Tho Disney afternoon stuff would practically guarantee my money. Just some Gargoyles and Darkwing Duck and I"m sold.

[Big Show]

Ok. Myself, my 11 year old, my wife, and my 7 year old were all just watching the trailer and squee-ing simultaneously.

^^Apparently, "Disney Infinity" is going to be around a while...and will probably have your favorite character eventually.

We haven't known about this for very long, I'm sure there are more characters they haven't announced yet.

Darkwing Duck and Agent P? I'd be all over that.

I just hope it has more heart to it than that Disney racing game for the iPhone. That felt so-- pardon the expression-- phoned in. But I don't think this will be quite as bad.

Just saw this from GDC:

This is starting to look amazing to me. The toybox world creation tool especially looks like it's capable of producing some fun stuff. A bit worried though, because if my wife ends up liking this, it could become pretty expensive

[Zek]

Oof....I'm gonna sink a lot of time and money into this, aren't I?

[spikeriley]

I hope you all like Lone Ranger, because Disney has announced a new playset for Disney Infinity based on that movie:

[Tm_Silverclaw]

I just can't get into Infanity...


No any character/any level thing kills any interest for me.
