Disney Infinity will look to give Activision’s Skylanders a run for the money in both the toy and video game businesses. Disney Interactive is betting the future on this new hybrid game and toy line, which will launch with 40 collectible interactive pieces based on Disney and Pixar movies. John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer at Pixar and The Walt Disney Animation Studio, explains how the new game platform will open up new opportunities for both live action and animated movies in this exclusive video interview.
After six months of negotiating, Avalanche Studios staff have successfully unionized with a new two-year collective bargaining agreement.
Before games inspired by movies and TV shows became blatant cash grabs, there was a time when players actually had some solid titles inspired by various IPs, and Disney made some of the best
Quackshot for me, simply because I think there’s a lot of potential for improving on the original and I would love a great platformer starring Donald in a world-traveling Ducktales-style adventure.
Has Disney done more harm than good to Star Wars when it comes to gaming?
Thats not a question that even needs to be asked. Anybody that is a fan of Star Wars and video games knows EA could fuck up a 1500lb steel BB in the middle of a cotton field barefooted. It truly is a travesty that EA is one of the most profitable game companies. Any company that would have made as many missteps with franchises as they did would have folded under and had all of its licenses pulled. Because of MT that litter their games, EA is artificially kept relevant in the industry. They are able to hold on to these licenses with the billions they milk out of gamers every year. So hell yeah Disney underachieved. But we all knew that was going to happen the minute news broke they were partnering with EA.
It's the refusal to do what it takes to get an actual creative project off the ground. Instead Disney and co. pushed out minimal viable products for the majority of its gaming life cycle.
John Lasseter is a really creative guy, nice to see he respects gaming.
Love that wreck it Ralph shirt.
It was only a matter of time
Imagine growing up without videogames.
It changes the game by making people pay way too much money.
