For everyone who's played the previous games, what would you like to see from 3.0?

Personally, I would like higher quality cutscenes and skill tree images. I know it's a small gripe, but in 2.0 these seemed heavily compressed (playing on PS4, don't know about the other versions).

Allowing to use characters on all the worlds. Give each character the ability like Rocket, Hulk and Iron Man.

But make it a challenge to unlock the characters.

So XBOX loses out again...

So just a quick round-up of some of the announcements at D23 this year:

A range of Star Wars character packs called Light FX which will feature light-up Lightsabers.

Finn and Rey character packs for The Force Awakens playset have been revealed.

Spot from The Good Dinosaur will be getting a character pack along with a power disc pack.

Character packs for both Judy and Nick from Zootopia.

As with previous Disney Infinity games, collecting all characters will unlock a special item. In 3.0 this item is the Keyblade for your characters to use in the Toy Box.

With each piece of news I am more and more excited for the release of 3.0, Disney are really making it a much more focused experience with improvements all-round, and more play sets to give longevity.

...........

I told myself I wouldn't buy every figure again, and then they do this...

I understand the lightsabers of the figures lights up when placed on the base...any confirmation of this?

Although there hasn't been a lot of information released on the Light FX range, we know that the sabers light up when placed on the base and that the figures are the same as their original counterparts, in-game and out.


Just a few more sleeps until the 3.0 launch, cannot wait! Here is the latest Twilight of the Republic trailer:

Hey Trevor,

I see that the PS4 Special Edition (that includes Luke, Leia, and Boba Fett) is scheduled for October 2nd. I thought that it was supposed to come out the same day as the normal edition (August 28th)?

Yesterday we received notification from the local suppliers that it will be launching early October... this is a little sad making as we have to wait just a tiny bit for the Boba Fett character and secondary play set.

To compensate we will offer all paid orders the option of picking up the base starter set (with the Disney Infinity Base and Disney Infinity 3.0 video game software, the Star Wars: Twilight of the Republic Play Set, Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker figures, and a web code card) as it launches on August 28th, and then the balance of items from the Special Edition (the Star Wars: Rise Against The Empire Play Set, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Boba Fett figures, and web code card) as they become available.

There is a possibility the Special Edition may launch earlier that October, and will keep you updated if it does. If you have any queries your can drop us a mail at info@awx.co.za

When is the pre orders shipping?

Prima interactive really sucks at distributing this... I wanted this at launch, waiting a month is ridiculous to be honest as it means that the special edition is just for Boba Fett and for that "privilege" you get to wait a month for paying a premium. Should rather cut them out completely. I have all the launch figures arriving on the 28th but they're essentially just dust collectors until this arrives

The champions of your childhood memories, Disney, are back with a fresh new version of the widely successful Infinity game. Today, Disney Infinity 3.0 launches globally on PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 with a load of new mechanics and characters bound to keep you entertained for hours on end.



I have never invested in interactive toys, the likes of Skylanders or Amiibos never piqued my interest, and despite previous iterations of the very popular Infinity series having some very appealing characters I still held back. Enter Star Wars, the major pull factor in my decision to join in the Toy Box fun of Disney Infinity. Since Disney acquired the rights to Star Wars back in 2012 scepticism and doubt have driven many a fan fuelled conversation over how successfully Disney will handle such a mega phenomena as Star Wars. I think we can all say at this point, they have done a pretty good job and this really shows with something like Disney Infinity.



Starting it up you are whisked through a some tense moments from various campaigns available as playsets in the 3.0 storyline. You get a sense of what the storylines will involve, what gameplay to expect and as an introduction to the dedicated Toy Box Hub, it really captures your imagination and pulls you into the notion that this game is nothing malicious, and that you will be finding a great deal of that lost childhood innocence.



A colourful and multi-levelled system, Disney Infinity 3.0 boasts a massive array of activities all packaged together in what is a newer, easier to access central hub. This Toy Box Hub is the centre of your Infinity universe, from here you can discover new ways of playing, learn to manage the more intricate styles of gameplay, access multiplayer games and various pre-made game modes. The hub is a massive smash-up of a ton of different Disney themes. Populated with recognizable buildings and townsfolk who bumble about advising you on every step of the journey. Right from the start you will be gifted with the help of a sidekick. Your sidekick; a miniature version of a Disney character can be customized and loaded out with all sorts of gear. The Sidekick provides a fantastic aid for combat as you can kit it out with whatever gear suits your fighting style. Above and beyond that, you can get your sidekick to farm or build for you in the Toy Box. Growing food helps level up your sidekicks abilities. On one too many occasions I have found myself spending hours on end helping my sidekick on the plots, farming for pizza (it grows!) and ice cream!
The Hub also serves as an access point to the playsets you have.



The base game includes the Twilight of the Republic playset which is a story driven gameplay experience which puts you in the middle of the animated Clone Wars saga. Popularized by the television series on Cartoon Network; the Clone Wars era takes place between Episodes II and III and focuses on the adventures of Anakin and Ashoka during the heated war between the Republic and CIS. With the two aforementioned characters provided in the starter set, you can co-op your adventure locally or online with a friend. To be honest the playset experience blew my socks off. I expected less. The attention to detail in terms of story is pedantic, with multiple objectives, each level is replayable and once you unlock certain character coins. You can replay the level again to access specific areas you wouldn't be able to reach with the base characters.



Each playset can take you between 4 to 8 hours to complete, so it provides a decent story driven experience which will more than sate your campaign needs. With the October release of the Rise Against the Empire pack you can further your playset experiences as you team up with Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie in the campaign driven along the lines of the Original Trilogy.



Speaking of the characters, their real life miniatures are just exquisite. Beautifully crafted and intricately detailed they are a collector's dream. Each character is complete matte finish which gives it an edge of class and finish which I don't see in the other interactive toy brands out there.

Jumping back to the Toy Box Hub, you can create your own themed interiors with the INterior mode. Within this mode you can outfit your own little pad with new rooms and themed decor, you can even throw parties for townsfolk. On the surface this might seem a little gimicky, but everything has a purpose. Your INterior is your gateway to new sidekicks. Townsfolk will arrive in your house and ask to have a room themed around one of the Disney franchises, upon creating a room you will unlock a sidekick linked to that franchise. I had far too much fun making my INterior look like the inside of the Death Star, complete with TIE Fighter couches and Darth Maul throw rugs.

The real success however, lies in Toy Box Mode. In this creative realm you can go wild and build whatever you can think of. Literally anything you can think of. Be it a themed world or a race track, a mini game of your own design or an imported one. There are endless possibilities in this mode, I spent a very large amount of my time building a massive intricate world themed around a firm personal favourite; Brave.



The Toy Box, I have found, is a very multi-faceted tool, on the surface, the construction and creation elements are a joy to work with, but below that there is an intricate element of programming. You are able to define routes, trigger events, create dialogues between objects and essentially "build" your own game. Through a clever and easily explained system, you can purchase items from the toy store which you are then able to programme to use in the game world. For example, after watching a friend using a grind rail to level up his character, I followed suite and built a similar device which essentially exponentially increases my characters ability to earn sparkles which I can then spend in the toy store. Now this, I suppose is a bit of a hack, but my justification is, if it's there and one has the ingenuity to build it, why not?

There is a magical sense of nostalgia and 'I've been here before' that you get from this game, it has been lovingly crafted, its environments, characters and perfect musical scores will have you happily bobbing your way down memory lane while making new ones of your own in this special title.

I'm considering to get myself Disney 3.0 but not 100% sure what to expect cos lots of people say it's like skylanders and that's a game that never interested me and with Lego dimensions around also getting released was wondering if I shouldn't wait a bit .
