DT:With the success of Skylanders and Skylanders Giants, it was inevitable that someone would challenge the concept of marrying toys to videogames on such a large scale. So what better company than the juggernaut that is Disney, who was able to sink $100 million dollars into research and development for the project, titled Disney Infinity.
The toys-to-life genre has died out, but the concept of Disney Infinity should live on in another genre since it provides a wild crossover for fans.
There is a huge gap in the market at the moment. There aren’t many (if any) toys-to-life games available for the two consoles yet. A reboot or remake of the game would work so well, especially with Disney’s current roster of characters, films and TV shows.
Did Disney sell the rights to Activision? I never knew they had the rights to Disney Infinity.
They DO have the rights to Skylanders though.
Plus there's a financial reason every publisher gave up on the "toys to life" thing. So I doubt they'll revive any of them.
Is it possible Disney Infinity or other toys to games could return, but I'll be honest I really hope they don't come back.
These kinds of games are just another way for the game studios to nickle and dime you for every cent you have.
Disney Infinity was a fun game I could play with my kid back in the day. I still have it and the 100+ toys and yes, it works on PS5. But my kid is a teenager now and we've both moved on to more serious games.
Take a look at the rise and fall of Toys-To-Life games and see the magic it brought into everyone's home with games like Skylanders.
I picked this up yesterday and have been playing ever since, I really wasn't sure weather I would like it as I really didn't care much for skylanders but with this being Disney me and my kids can relate to it more and we are all loving it.
The only problem I'm having at the moment is I've had to delete the 1.03 patch as the game worlds don't seem to load, I've tried twice now, not sure weather anybody else is having this issue.
