Disney Infinity's Starter Pack has been described as being "competitive" in pricing by publisher Disney Interactive.
Revealed last week, the Starter Pack will feature the game, three figurines and Play Sets, the figurine reader and a power disc.
It will retail for $74.99 in the US, or £64.99 on Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U and £54.99 on Wii.
Executive producer John Vignocchi said the bundle's three Play Sets each offer around 10 hours of content including side-quests, not including the sandbox Toy Mode.
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.
It wasnt Skylanders fault Activision squeezed the cow too hard.
"During its earning calls, Activision confirmed that Skylanders: Swap Force had made them more money than Call of Duty: Ghosts. Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg revealed the numbers, putting Skylanders at a whopping $2 billion in revenue after it sold 175 million toys.May 7, 2014"
"Skylanders Reached the Milestone of 250 million figures sold in 2015 and passed $3 billion made"
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.
Exact same thing here, we played Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions. Both were great but are now just two big boxes full of stuff that never gets used.
We played Lego Dimensions, too.. and I still have all those toys. It also works on PS5.
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.
Better get that content before it goes back in the vault!
I don't know about those prices being "competitive" - the Skylanders bundle is around $69.99, and they were smart with the "Portal Owner's Pack" with the release of Giants. I can see this "Disney Infinity" taking off purely for the fact that children must own things that contain their favorite movie characters, but I don't think it'll spread too much into the adult gaming market like Skylanders did. Very interesting read, gave a good bit of insight into Disney's thought process - as for releasing a new "Infinity" every year, that seems greedy, but what do you expect from America's largest money printer?
if i would be a kid i would love this concept
and skylanders too.
