VIDEO Star Wars Infinity (Disney Infinity 3.0)

Let's discuss the new Star Wars game, Star Wars Disney Infinity 3.0. Apparently it'll be released August 20th, which is even better! Been waiting for a Star Wars game to play on my PS4, and this will tide me over until Battlefront in November.

I played the original 2 Infinities, and they're pretty fun, although the Toy Box aspect gets old fast IMO. With Star Wars,methought they'll definitely be doing the Play Set story modes, and adding a lot of Star Wars themed items, so should be fun.

What do you all wanna see, from characters to vehicles to items/planets?

 

It was finally confirmed today - 3 Star Wars Playsets in Disney Infinity 3.0! So excited.

Twilight of the Republic - Anakin, Ashoka, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Darth Maul

Rise Against the Empire - Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader

A Playset based on the Force Awakens - (characters haven't been announced yet, but I'm guessing - Rey, Finn, Poe, Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma)

 

I was just about to pick up 2.0 in a few weeks, but now I will just wait for 3.0. Can't wait!

 

I'm really excited for this, I'm so happy that Prequel Trilogy characters/elements are included. Cad Bane makes an appearance he is shown in the trailer very briefly taking off in a ship. I would love Trench and Krell to appear, there is definitely a lot of potential for Krell, I think his figure would sell really well.

 

Wow, I'm so excited for this! I can't wait for the release of new Star Wars figures and to see them in shops!

I really like the final scene with Disney/Pixar characters when they see the Millennium Falcon! And that with Olaf...so funny!
I have to say: "Begun the Disney/Star Wars crossover has".

 

I'm loving that they're focusing on all aspects of SW. I wonder if the stories will be canon?

 

I wish someone could tell me more about this Disney Infinity game as a whole. Is it just designed for kids, or is there something more to it that adults can appreciate on their own? If I bought the game, does that mean I can buy figures separately to add to my own "world". I see these figures selling at Gamestop for about $6 or so. Not too bad; considering I wouldn't be buying too many of them anyway.

 

I have always said that I would not get Disney Infinty unless Star Wars or Tron came out for it. Well I guess I am getting both with 3.0 and my wallet is crying. Between Battlefront, No Mans Sky and now Infinty 3.0 I will have no money left for anything this fall.

 

Yeah, if everything weren't quite so cartoonish then I would be willing to buy these. Nintendo's Amiibos on the other hand don't look so silly despite mostly being kids video game characters. They didn't go and make a blocky Pikachu or Yoshi. If Infinity's Marvel and Star Wars characters were more like this, then I'd actually be interested:

 

But my point is that I thought this was about the video game, and not so much on how the toy figures look like.

 

Yeah, I wasn't attempting to answer your question as much as I was expressing my own gripes hahah That said, the figures and the in-game characters naturally match one-another.

You might look up some YouTube videos but per my understanding, it's essentially a giant sandbox where you go around and use your powers to take down baddies. You can also build your own cities with all kinds of different features but to unlock them you have to buy more figures to expand your custom sandbox.

 

Is that Obi-Wan riding a pod racer on the box? Now I've seen everything.

 

Oh god, this is made to tractor beam the money from peoples wallets. Infinity is bad. "Play without limits" more like "Pay without limits"

 

Game Informer posted another great video today about the making of the figures. It really shows how much care the developers at Avalanche put into the design of the characters http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...ets-disney-designing-infinity-s-new-toys.aspx

 

AND Darth Maul riding one behind him too.

Anyway I might buy this so I make Podracers race Lightcycles.

And make an Army of Stormtroopers fight an Army of Battle Droids in a face off of incompetence.

 

I played the original Disney Infinity. It was fun for a little while, but it didn't take long for me to get burned out. Definitely geared towards kids (not a knock on it, it certainly succeeded at what it was trying to do). Having said that, I have a feeling I won't be able to resist 3.0. The Star Wars stuff looks great, and I'm sure the play sets (Infinity's version of a story mode) will be fun to play through. Three sets at launch should last a decent while (IIRC, each play set in the original Infinity took me around 5-6 hours each).

 

Only ever briefly played Infinity round a friends once. Thought it was an alright game, though I don't recall doing a lot except messing around on both Cars and The Incredibles.
For Star Wars, I probably still wouldn't break out the bank to get it, but it should be interesting to see what goes on with the packs.

 

If you want to play Disney play sets stick to 1.0, 2.0 only has Marvel Play Sets unless the toy box game discs are of interest to you I preferred the Disney ones to Marvel, but the power discs deserve special mention as they cover a variety of effects but only the circular ones work in the play set.
It really depends on what you're more interested in, 3.0 sounds an improvement on 2.0 so whose your favourite character from Disney/Marvel and/or Star Wars?

PS: Team up discs introduced in 2.0 are fantastic but as 2.0 stuff doesn't work in 1.0 be careful what you want to buy as it will be a LONG 3 months before we find out what else they have planned this time!

Oh 11am US time there might be a few answers but more questions by Friday!

 

Wait, so it's not all compatible with one another? 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 can't all be used in the same sandboxes?

 

Figures are usable in the toy box if going from 1.0 to 2.0 and so on they don't however work in reverse.

Play sets currently only work in their own edition I don't know if they've corrected that in the downloadable version since the 1.0 play sets are great the 2.0 play sets all 3 compared to the 6 of 1.0 are OK but really needed more crossover characters to make better use of the figures they have available.

Iron Man can eventually be used in all 3, but both the Avengers and Spiderman play sets are set in the same area but only 2 from each can crossover.

Don't know enough about 3.0 to even guess what they have planned.

 

lol what a headache. Thanks for explaining though.

 

so this is a video game too right. i don't know anything about disney infinity.

 

This looks pretty darn cool. I've never played any of the Disney Infinity games before but I'll certainly give the Star Wars version a try.

 

That's the part that I really don't get. If I were to buy the SW play set 3.0, would I hypothetically be able to use figures from 1.0 and 2.0; or do I have to buy the previous play sets? That's what, like $50 per play set?
