Pixar seems to have a rule that its kid-friendly movies must be as enjoyable for grown-ups as they are for rugrats. After all, why shouldn’t those shuttling the wee ones to the theatre and back get something out of the experience other than a migraine? This has led to many adults anticipating the release of the Disney subsidiary’s films as much as any of the kids they are ostensibly aimed at. Unfortunately, Disney Infinity – which is essentially Pixar Infinity at this stage –does not possess the same cross-generational appeal.
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'm liking that these reviews are just super positive just because. It shows that there still is work to be done on this game and that it eventually could be a great game, but as of now isn't anything better than skylanders.
Aren't they kind of different types of games too, with one being a somewhat action-rpg and the other a sandbox open world action game.
