CoinOpTV I agree, they even said they wanted to do Kingdom Hearts for 4.0 and that's what I was so excited for. Even then I really liked the first three games.
CoinOpTV I could not agree more. I also think if Disney listened to the fans and gave more characters that we wanted. Like more princess movie characters or lesser shown like Robin Hood or even more tv show characters like Gargoyles.
The fan base for Disney Infinity was not that of Skylanders. Disney fans are different and this would've kept strong despite the decline of Skylanders. It's like if Disney closed EPCOT because Universal was doing poorly, uhh..what were they thinking?
downscale it's not like they closed it down because they thought it would do poorly in the future, it was doing poorly in the present due to the massive budget.
Not really. It was stated that Disney didn't expect Infinity to be that big. They only renewed it to get the other major franchises out, then when the market got scarce they announced there would be no more. I think the last play set was Dory
I think one of the best things that was going to be in 4.0 was the ability to link several user made ToyBox worlds into a campaign. That would've made Disney Infinity's replay value incredible.
Well there was a BIT of KH in Infinity. You could unlock the Kingdom Key but the requirements were insane and at D23 they gave away a power disc that unlocked Mickey's KH2 outfit.
The market was flooded by that point. Toys to life was a huge money maker for one franchise, profitable for two and crippled with 3+. When Activision revives Skylanders if it becomes a hit again I doubt we will see as much competition with how burnt Disney and WB got the first time.
Carter Adams, I feel like they should have done it earlier, in 2011-2012. If they had continued it with an actual story where characters could crossover, it would be way better.
@@Harley-jr8dp congrats, I forgot this comment existed and you still replied! don't worry, I too reply to 1-2 year old comments. and yeah, there were ways Disney could have done better.
My son and I still play Infinity from time to time. The world-building aspects are a lot of fun, and I think its terrible form for Disney to have essentially turned their back on people that made significant investments in one of their products. I wish someone else would pick up the reins, but I'm sure Disney would never release the licensing to all of the figures and storylines. Frustrating.
Riley and Daddy Save the World I kinda feel bad for saying or really asking this but, I am selling my Disney infinity figures for around 100 dollars, and I do have a lot. It's not like you'll ever see this but, why not put it out there just in case
I got them when I knew they were available. Phineas and Perry both look good adapted to a 3D space, and if you can find them, maybe consider buying them. Just my opinion though, you do whatever you want to do.😊
I remember exploiting an oversight in the Wii version of 1.0 where if violet is wielding a gun while invisible, enemies won’t be able to see her and you can just attack with ease
People Person On the Wii version, I found a way to leave the final battle with Syndrome on a hover board while still in the mission and with the overhead camera.
I was immediately put off from Infinity based purely on how much stuff there filling the shelves at the store. It didn't make me say 'wow, there is so much cool stuff to get' it was more like 'Why is there so much stuff you have to get?'
3.0 was my favorite Disney Infinity Game. The inclusion of Star Wars was probably the biggest draw. And I should point out they didn’t make a play set for the prequels instead choosing the clone wars and that was a smart move because the prequels weren’t the best films.
Fun fact: if you put a play set piece from a previous infinity game you would get ALL of its items for free! And if you touch a magic band on the pad you get a statue of Walt and Mickey!
The MagicBands had different unlocks in each game. In 1.0 it was the New Fantasyland Dragon's Gate, in 2.0 it was the It's a Small World building, and 3.0 had the Partners Statue. 3.0 also had unlocks with the Cruise Line Oceaneer Band.
We've only just started collecting these things this year (for the PS3, although I'm probably going to pick the games up for the Wii as well). My great-niece really enjoys picking them up off the base, switching them out for other characters, running around, and repeating the process ad nauseam. So far, my favorites from the set are Jack Skellington with Victor's Experiments (Frankenweenie) + Halloweentown Sky (Nightmare Before Christmas) + Ghost Rider's Motorcycle. Picked those up a week ago at Game X Change and nearly fell out of my chair when I placed him onto the bike to test the pieces out. His head burst into flames and I'm like, "Okay, Kenley, you're getting _all the rest of these_ when you get older, but these are right here MINE!!" She proceeded to remove jack and put Elsa on the platform. =)
So sad that we never got 4.0 to ever come to fruition. Alpha footage of it was leaked not too long ago, and showed a story mode filled with interactions between Yoda, Alladin and Judy Hopps in the world of Alladin. Seemed fun. And just imagine the potential figures... new Mcu inspired figures like Thanos, Hela, Mantis, Thor with Stormbreaker, and Doctor Strange, new Star Wars figures like Old Luke, Revan and Snoke, and new Disney•Pixar characters like Simba, The Screenslaver/Underminer, Dumbo and Bo Peep to promote their upcoming films. The series was killed before it even started. May it rest in peace. R.I.P. Disney Infinity 2013-2016
Let's face it. As fun & unique as the Toys to Life concept was when it started all the way back in 2011 with Skylanders, I think it was the right move to kill it off when they all did. I mean it took the world by storm at first, but after a few years, it just got repetative & predictable. I mean sure, I am going to miss Skylanders, Disney Infinity & Lego Dimensions, but it is probably good that we are finally saying good bye to this 7 year long era. As much as I want to see a Skylanders 7, 8, 9, & 10. We have to let things go. I mean look at Toys R Us. That was the best store to buy toys, but sadly, because of newer technology & just the click of a button with Amazon Prime, Toys R Us had to go. It sucks that we are now living in an era where DVDs are becoming the new VHS tapes, new game concepts only last about 7 years, Star Wars isn't (cough) as popular as it used to be because of SJWs & the Critically Acclaimed The Last Jedi recieving bad reviews from Audiences (cough) it pained me to say that because I'm always going to remain loyal to Star Wars no matter who's in charge & who owns it.
Technically the genre itself isn't dead, it may not have dedicated games anymore (although there is that new starlink thing coming out this fall), amiibo are still alive and well, especially with the new smash game coming out, and that every new character announced will get an amiibo, and the interest in amiibos will spike again. I think Nintendo took a good spin on the toys to life market, making them optional, but making pretty good quality figures of beloved characters, and making them useable in more than one game (whether they worked as a fighter in smash bros, unlocked a costume, unlocked extra gear, gave bonuses etc.) like even some third party Nintendo games support amiibo (Skyrim for switch, the dark souls remastered will have its own amiibo, bayonetta 1&2 and probably 3, shovel knight, etc.)
You can buy "Disney Infinity Gold Edition" 1-3 on Steam which don't require any plastic to play, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think it includes everything released for Disney Infinity.
I was hyped because of Disney Infinity Next, or whatever it was called back in 2016 i'm pretty sure, but then Disney Infinity died. I started in 2013 and stopped playing 2016. Rip Disney Infinity 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.
It’s funny cuz you can still buy Disney infinity 2.0 and 3.0 on the PlayStation store, but stores don’t sell the stands or play sets or characters anymore😢
I think sora May have been planned for 4.0, considering how the easteregg items were Always a sort of teaser for the next version, and 3.0 had a keyblade
@@mew2wand447 Well in that case... All the Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Fox, Zag Heroez and Blue Sky Studios characters... IT'S TIME TO ASSEMBLE AND BRING BACK DISNEY INFINITY!!!
I liked how they made the sidekicks 3 pack and the villains 3 pack to be able to do co-op in the starter playset, instead of having to get all them individually
I loved the incredibles but one of its major flaws was that everyone was able to get their “special attack” after you got the dojo. I also loved cars and toy story, and I have so many vivid memories to revisit. Disney infinity 4.0 would’ve been so fun to see, some sort of crossover where no one character from one universe would make a difference, relying on the older characters to have unique buffs and the newer characters to have fun movement options.
it's kind of weird to now see amiibo as the most relevant toys to life at the moment, I always thought they would come last being the font have dedicated games.
man, i loved infinity. i loved playing the lone ranger with my brother, and exploring around town, riding horses, and playing with the trains. i remember the little camp, and it was so fun to play, and it was so unique. shortly after it was discontinued, my dad donated everything. i really miss infinity, and even at a point you could make your own house. of course i was always a skylanders and toy story 3 person too lmfao
Disney infinity is a fantastic series, I love how this video highlights the evolution into the great game it was. It would've been awesome to see where it could've gone with 4.0 and beyond.
Fun Fact: there was a special version of Disney Infinity 2.0 which contained the Avengers Playset, every Avengers character except Falcon and Loki and a special Frost Giant Base. 3.0 got a similar one but it was just a bundle of the Twilight of the Republic and Rise against the Empire playsets with a limited time exclusive Boba Fett Figure.
I think Disney infinity 4 WAS gonna revolve around Disney XD such as (maybe) Lab Rats (I say maybe because lab rats is a live action show, and I don’t think they will be able to put it in a game), Star Vs The Forces Of Evil, Gravity Falls, etc, which if they continued it and I knew that, I would have instantly got it
Honestly looking back makes me miss it, I can’t believe it was 5 years ago. I only had 1.0 too and I was so mesmerized by this game, I even learned little cheats when buying the packs for the discs cuz you can hear the hologram through the wrapper lol but this is just a blast of memories
toys to life isnt really that, its more figurines to life or statues, not really toys, lego dimensions was the only one to really be toys because even after finishing the game and the game being over, you could still play with the toys as lego, add parts, give select tools and weapons to a character that would never use them normally, skylanders and infinity didn't have that aspect really, if the figures were partly pose able then it may have helped because then they would have been toys that could be played with outside of the game, granted, this is only an opinion and should be seen as such, also, distribution is a factor to consider, some places get the game, others down, my local tescos didnt have ether infinity or skylanders for a month or so even though other places already had them
Ime and my daughter played with the toys outside the game but I agree it would've been better if they were more like toys and less like figures. Perhaps they could have done them with removable bases 🤷♂️
I used to play this game religiously. I still to this day torture my friends with my custom made Kaizo levels with special rules like: No weapons, items and transports unless provided in the level and ONE checkpoint ONLY that is located right at the beginning. Their reactions to trick jumps and hair pulling death traps are priceless.
I always loved making the interior, designing different rooms and areas, I had a whole top floor for marvel, a side place for TV show stuff. Oh boy did I love the marvel stuff, with all the comic references and stuff, my nerdy heart loved it.
I remember me and my best friend always got together to play 3.0 edition, we built battle arenas, race tracks, giant obstacle courses. We still miss Disney Infinity to this day.
The thor and iron man flying problem was so easy to solve that im surprised they didnt think about it. Make thor's hammer drag him in arcs like, he throws himself and iron man could have a energy limit to flying. Done, both fit into the themes of the characters and solved the "flying problem"
I have a problem with Disney Infinity. The game was advertised with crossover play between characters. However, the only way to have the characters crossover is in the toy box mode or a very limited amount of the play sets and NEVER in the playsets that serve as the game's story modes. The only way to have Elsa fight Darth Maul or General Grievous is in the Toy Box mode. The Crossover tokens that are found in the Story Mode playsets like Twilight of the Republic or The Force Awakens only unlock the ability to use Star Wars characters that weren't the main playable protagonists for that playset. An example would be for the Twilight of the Republic playset, the crossover tokens unlock Darth Maul and every Star Wars character not featured in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Skylanders didn't lock characters out of story levels. You can play as Kaos even though it didn't make sense. The only characters that worked similarly were Turbo Charge DK and Hammer Slam Bowser not letting players use them on Playstation or Xbox versions of Skylanders Superchargers and Imaginators due to being Nintendo characters that were promoting the Nintendo versions of Superchargers. Since the Crossover tokens unlock characters from the same property, they shouldn't be called CROSSOVER tokens at all!
@@paleo2359, that is the main component of the problem, not the solution. I want story and adventure from out of the box, not the requirement to build one from scratch. Besides, the Toy Box mode doesn’t have any sort of story cut-scenes at all. I’m more of a person for character arcs and interactions, not Minecraft with Disney characters.
Duuuude my dad and I played this game! We had a city with an awesome Paintball arena, a sick mansion complete with a secret hallway for guest rooms, and a giant island we kept expanding! I loved the Disney Infinity franchise! Also, the part about the Violet figure was so true lol, her and Elastagirl's figures broke all the time.
I'd love for disney inifnity to be ported to switch but like a complete edition u just have everything digitally swap figures digitally nice and simple no bs
I think the problem is that 2.0 is the awkward puberty of the series, and it was right when they could have gotten new players. 1.0 was simple and fun and similar to a lot of LEGO style collectathons, but with a complex and intuitive creation tool. 2.0 had a bigger emphasis on combat, and that was expanded upon, but the combat was still really repetitive and uninvolving. It’s also bad that the only one of the playsets they released for 2.0 that had interesting and involving combat, mission design, and really solid level design for platforming was the Guardians of the Galaxy one (which was done by the people who did the Pirates play set). For 3.0, they got Ninja Theory (DmC, Heavenly Sword) to reinvent the combat and they made it this combo focused and incredibly fun and satisfying DmC-lite melee attack system with all the force powers and newer Marvel characters, and all three of the Star Wars playsets play like polished PS2 action platformers, like Ratchet and Clank, or even (once again) the platforming focused DmC. It was so good. And with a few more additions, like the Doctor Strange and Spider-Gwen figures and the Rogue One and Moana playsets, it could have ended with a bang instead of a whimper. C’mon Disney. AT LEAST release them as figurines. The Spider-Gwen one looked SO GOOD.
I'm watching this because I have Alot of nostalgia of Disney Infinity on the wii and just getting on Christmas and then playing it with my brother and I just being afraid of the guy with the mushroom hat which I called mushroom sword guy
i still play and buy things for this game this is my favourite game of all time and the nostalgia will never disappear still sad to this day it was discontinued but still love the game to pieces
I remember finding out about Disney infinity 3.0 in 2015 and I wanted it so badly and finding out it had star wars I new i had to get it and I remember working really hard the summer of 2015 and getting the game but I was so disappointed when they canceled it 2016.
I wish they had a Indiana Jones level. It would have been so cool to go adventuring through temples with Indy and others like Marion Short Round and Indy's Dad.
I'm so mad this got cancelled. I ADORE THIS GAME!!!!!! And 4.0 seemed to be the grand finale we never got. I hope in the future we'll get to see that 4.0
I was in 3rd grade when the first one came out and I thought it was awesome and I think it had a cool concept but I hate how they made the characters cost a lot (I can't remember how much they costed). I remember I would ask my parents for a character and they said "save up your money" but I was a little kid so I spent my money on candy or whatever. The only character I got was Mater. And I begged my parents to buy me the newer one but then I saw the new Guitar Hero and decided I wanted that instead.
I think the thing that drew me to Disney Infinity the most was it's Toy Box feature, so it hit hard when the online service died. I loved exploring other people's creations, and I had plans to make and share a truly immersive world based on my favorite Disney Property, Tron!
I remember enjoying Disney infinity when it first came out. It was pretty enjoyable. Had fun playing with sibling and friends. Never got too much into building though. Loved playing the player built levels though.Never played 2 and 3 though.
Poor United Front. That's the real tragedy after all this happened. I loved these games, but when United Front went down the drain, they took all those games I loved and the possible ones in the future with them. Edit: Good News, though. I just got 2.0 new for 99 cents today at my Gamestop, so come get your dirt cheap Disney Infinity figures and discs today!
I miss this game sooooooo much still buying and collecting figures (anyone got a baymax they dont need) the thinking was that in the playsets the characters would interact as they would within their franchise hence the franchise lock the toy box was where a "child could pick up their toys and race dory vs Darth Vader in a sugar rush candy car and have olaf dance with Darth maul" (sorry for essentially the same analagy it's just funny to envision Sith doing these fun things)
I'm a Spider-Gwen fan and they were making a figure for her for this game. Plus they were making a storyline mode and single player storyline Multiverse crossover storyline for the game (which the internet world building is nice but I always hope for a good challenging and fun and well writing story mode in these games). I like the art style of the toys and ad how it was ended just as the game was starting to feel more complete and worth it. At the time I got a few figures just for the characters and art style but I didn't own a console just a pc. I wished the game stands worked and was patched to work with PCs (they were connected by USB for consoles). Reading about what was to come had me very hopeful and in the beginning Disney marketed this game but then just pulled the plug out of nowhere. Also as a few people wrote many of the sets didn't have a storyline mode (a draw for the game was that each playset was its own individual game but many of the playsets didn't get one like Frozen playset) plus couldn't crossover (example Elsa and Captain America couldn't play together and that hurts imagination and fun forced to do things plus ruins the crossover factors). What you could do sometimes felt had to much repetition to be long term fun.
For me being a kid at that time. The main reason I didn't get very many infinity stuff was because once I got the first one the second one came out of the blue a little less than a year later and because it was expensive at the time even I didn't think it was worth it. Each game should have had about 2 or 3 years in between them, and even letting you play old play sets in the new games
The real question is what 5.0 would be like My guess is the simpsons (as disney owns fox now),episode 9 for star wars,and infinty war for marvel,a man can dream...
Wait, did you just say Infinity was monetized more than Skylanders? Skylanders put paywalls to unlock areas to allow you to 100% the game, requiring you to buy one of each element figure (and not the cheaper ones).
Infinity topped that. There are certain item and treasure chests that can only be opened by SPECIFIC characters and even huge vaults that can be opened only if you own every character from that world. Skylanders only makes you buy 1/4th of the characters to unlock nearly everything and doesn't try to hock an extension cord on you on top of that.
Gosh I remember the DI Star Wars games were a lot better than most previous Star Wars games I played growing up. It’s kind of interesting that Disney had foresight on the end of Toys to Life games, my personal annoyance is that the Hera figure never made it past planning stages and recordings of her voice actress.
There might've been some consumer burnout in terms of toy-to-life (which I blame mostly on Nintendo refusing to make enough amiibo's to meet demand), but to say that there wasn't any more potential, when they have access to THOUSANDS of characters and IP's at their disposal? I call BS on that.
I know I am WAY late to this game, but I have a question: I just bought 3.0 (for the PS3 - have not received it yet), but my daughter really wants the Loki figure (from 2.0). Question: Do I have to now buy 2.0 so she can play with the Loki figure? Are 2.0 figures only playable with 2.0 (and 3.0 figures only playable with 3.0)? Sorry for the newb questions - just trying to NOT waste money. Thanks!
I had a lot of those. Nick Fury, Iron Man, Thor, Donald Duck, Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey (Clear one), Tinker Bell (i know), Luke, Vader, The Tron Dude, Buzz (Clear one), And others I wasn’t able to mention, Have fun in the shelf.
Wait...So, in Skylanders Switch you only need to scan the figures once as it's portable, so can you just get free characters by borrowing othets figures/ buying, scanning and returning?
Thanks for doing this :) Sometimes when I look at my collection that I also mostly collected just at the tail end of the fallout and after, I wonder about it. It felt as though part of it was still confusing. Why DID the 2nd best selling toys to life company *Disney* Jump out so suddenly? What happened? And you just put it the best way for me to understand. Bad management. They had several game developing companies to pay and not enough money to do it. Okay, I'm not good at quoting but your explanation was solid and thank you so much. I still wish they could've planned an ending around 4.0 because it seems as though that would've been the gameplay that could probably continue to be the most entertaining. Like "Hey friend of mine! You feel like stopping the clone wars with Jack Skellington and Rapunzel? Because pumpkins and frying pans!"
I only ended up playing the IOS version of Disney Infinity. It was pretty decent, just never decided to touch the console version due to having to buy the characters.
As someone who owns all three, the original for the Wii, *shudder*, the second for the PS3, and the third for the PS4. I really enjoyed all three, with the third being the weakest, mainly due to me giving the Wii a handicap. The second was the best, with so many Marvel characters in just NYC, and also the more refined Toy Box.
I’m sorry that Disney infinity got canceled 2 years ago but they couldn’t create the Moana figure. They also can’t create Avatar figures, Bug’s Life figures, Peter Pan figure, a Goofy figure, and a Russel figure.
I still play this game it's still fun to experiment with the toy box and everything it's also cool to see all these Disney characters put into a game the figures are pretty cool to cause you get to play as your favourite Disney characters in this open world and creative game and with the figures you get a cool little display with them I like the Nick Wilde figure and Perry the platypus
What a shame, sadly we'll never get Disney Infinity War.
gravy spectre Genius
All hail
Wow
Good one
Are you kidding me
i miss disney infinity.
Most of us do. I was hoping for a new Marvel adventure-packkk... ; - ;
Me too, that theme music is so nostalgic, even though it wasn't that long ago.
I'm still trying to believe that it might come back even though they scrapped it all
Disney Infinity ended way too early just as it was getting legs!
CoinOpTV I bet if they made one more game in the style of what it was leaked to be it could have really succeeded.
I wish it would have stayed but getting it's legs 3 games later is not the best
CoinOpTV I agree, they even said they wanted to do Kingdom Hearts for 4.0 and that's what I was so excited for. Even then I really liked the first three games.

@@BUBBA808 Yeah, that’s the point. Just how Skylanders isn’t Disney Infinity. It’s an analogy.
I wish Disney infinity had a fourth game. I would have loved a Sora figure.
I think one of the best things that was going to be in 4.0 was the ability to link several user made ToyBox worlds into a campaign. That would've made Disney Infinity's replay value incredible.
I almost forgot about that! If only they weren't cancelled so abruptly.
Don’t bring up sora you’re breaking my heart
Well there was a BIT of KH in Infinity. You could unlock the Kingdom Key but the requirements were insane and at D23 they gave away a power disc that unlocked Mickey's KH2 outfit.
Crystal Keyblade same I would have gotten that Doctor Strange figure that looked sick
I think they did it at a bad time. They got it good with 3.0 and had their chance to continue it.
The market was flooded by that point. Toys to life was a huge money maker for one franchise, profitable for two and crippled with 3+. When Activision revives Skylanders if it becomes a hit again I doubt we will see as much competition with how burnt Disney and WB got the first time.

Love how Disney had the balls to include TRON Legacy figures! I love TRON! So it was awesome to see it being represented in the game!
Nitro Spider04 You are my new favorite person. TRON is definitely an underrated Disney film.
You two are now my favorite people
One of the tron figures are my favorite
it just made sense to promote the Legacy. Like, they made figures for The Good Dinosaur. They definitely did that to promote it
I just watched both movies for the first time and I absolutely love them!
My son and I still play Infinity from time to time. The world-building aspects are a lot of fun, and I think its terrible form for Disney to have essentially turned their back on people that made significant investments in one of their products. I wish someone else would pick up the reins, but I'm sure Disney would never release the licensing to all of the figures and storylines. Frustrating.

Say what you will about Disney Infinity, I do not regret getting the Phineas and Perry figures.
knarrow0222 Phineas and Perry for the win!
knarrow0222 same

I remember exploiting an oversight in the Wii version of 1.0 where if violet is wielding a gun while invisible, enemies won’t be able to see her and you can just attack with ease
People Person On the Wii version, I found a way to leave the final battle with Syndrome on a hover board while still in the mission and with the overhead camera.
I was immediately put off from Infinity based purely on how much stuff there filling the shelves at the store. It didn't make me say 'wow, there is so much cool stuff to get' it was more like 'Why is there so much stuff you have to get?'
I was only interested in the Marvel, Star Wars and Tron stuff
Cartoon Networks Fusion Fall was better
Change my mind
SirGentleBread I won't is was really good
Fusion Fall was the best mmo of all time.
Change my mind.
3.0 was my favorite Disney Infinity Game. The inclusion of Star Wars was probably the biggest draw. And I should point out they didn’t make a play set for the prequels instead choosing the clone wars and that was a smart move because the prequels weren’t the best films.
they still had a jar jar mission
Efan Taylor they were better than the sequels but I hold the original trilogy as the best
Fun fact: if you put a play set piece from a previous infinity game you would get ALL of its items for free! And if you touch a magic band on the pad you get a statue of Walt and Mickey!
The MagicBands had different unlocks in each game. In 1.0 it was the New Fantasyland Dragon's Gate, in 2.0 it was the It's a Small World building, and 3.0 had the Partners Statue.
3.0 also had unlocks with the Cruise Line Oceaneer Band.
WHAT NO WAY!

That was the best store to buy toys, but sadly, because of newer technology & just the click of a button with Amazon Prime, Toys R Us had to go. It sucks that we are now living in an era where DVDs are becoming the new VHS tapes, new game concepts only last about 7 years, Star Wars isn't (cough) as popular as it used to be because of SJWs & the Critically Acclaimed The Last Jedi recieving bad reviews from Audiences (cough) it pained me to say that because I'm always going to remain loyal to Star Wars no matter who's in charge & who owns it.
i think toys r us was bought by another company to so toys r us could carry its debt
but toys r us was over priced any way
toys r us wasn't killed by amazon. toys r us was killed by it's terribly overpriced toys
exactly i found a lego set for 40 bucks the same one was available at target for 25
Technically the genre itself isn't dead, it may not have dedicated games anymore (although there is that new starlink thing coming out this fall), amiibo are still alive and well, especially with the new smash game coming out, and that every new character announced will get an amiibo, and the interest in amiibos will spike again. I think Nintendo took a good spin on the toys to life market, making them optional, but making pretty good quality figures of beloved characters, and making them useable in more than one game (whether they worked as a fighter in smash bros, unlocked a costume, unlocked extra gear, gave bonuses etc.) like even some third party Nintendo games support amiibo (Skyrim for switch, the dark souls remastered will have its own amiibo, bayonetta 1&2 and probably 3, shovel knight, etc.)
Excuse my ignorance but what do Social Justice Warriors have to do with Star Wars not being popular please?
You can buy "Disney Infinity Gold Edition" 1-3 on Steam which don't require any plastic to play, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think it includes everything released for Disney Infinity.
Wario it doesn’t have any if the internet characters and the civil war play set.
@@jasonle520 can u elaborate I might buy the set to fill in for my nostalgia
I was hyped because of Disney Infinity Next, or whatever it was called back in 2016 i'm pretty sure, but then Disney Infinity died. I started in 2013 and stopped playing 2016. Rip Disney Infinity 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.
It’s funny cuz you can still buy Disney infinity 2.0 and 3.0 on the PlayStation store, but stores don’t sell the stands or play sets or characters anymore😢
I think sora May have been planned for 4.0, considering how the easteregg items were Always a sort of teaser for the next version, and 3.0 had a keyblade
I want 4.0 really bad now
@@mew2wand447 Well in that case... All the Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Fox, Zag Heroez and Blue Sky Studios characters... IT'S TIME TO ASSEMBLE AND BRING BACK DISNEY INFINITY!!!
I liked how they made the sidekicks 3 pack and the villains 3 pack to be able to do co-op in the starter playset, instead of having to get all them individually
I loved the incredibles but one of its major flaws was that everyone was able to get their “special attack” after you got the dojo. I also loved cars and toy story, and I have so many vivid memories to revisit. Disney infinity 4.0 would’ve been so fun to see, some sort of crossover where no one character from one universe would make a difference, relying on the older characters to have unique buffs and the newer characters to have fun movement options.
it's kind of weird to now see amiibo as the most relevant toys to life at the moment, I always thought they would come last being the font have dedicated games.
man, i loved infinity. i loved playing the lone ranger with my brother, and exploring around town, riding horses, and playing with the trains. i remember the little camp, and it was so fun to play, and it was so unique. shortly after it was discontinued, my dad donated everything. i really miss infinity, and even at a point you could make your own house. of course i was always a skylanders and toy story 3 person too lmfao
Disney infinity is a fantastic series, I love how this video highlights the evolution into the great game it was. It would've been awesome to see where it could've gone with 4.0 and beyond.
I loved all three games :(
Fun Fact: there was a special version of Disney Infinity 2.0 which contained the Avengers Playset, every Avengers character except Falcon and Loki and a special Frost Giant Base. 3.0 got a similar one but it was just a bundle of the Twilight of the Republic and Rise against the Empire playsets with a limited time exclusive Boba Fett Figure.
I think Disney infinity 4 WAS gonna revolve around Disney XD such as (maybe) Lab Rats (I say maybe because lab rats is a live action show, and I don’t think they will be able to put it in a game), Star Vs The Forces Of Evil, Gravity Falls, etc, which if they continued it and I knew that, I would have instantly got it
Honestly looking back makes me miss it, I can’t believe it was 5 years ago. I only had 1.0 too and I was so mesmerized by this game, I even learned little cheats when buying the packs for the discs cuz you can hear the hologram through the wrapper lol but this is just a blast of memories
Disney Infinity 4.0??? Shoulda been called Disney Infinity War...
Lol
toys to life isnt really that, its more figurines to life or statues, not really toys, lego dimensions was the only one to really be toys because even after finishing the game and the game being over, you could still play with the toys as lego, add parts, give select tools and weapons to a character that would never use them normally, skylanders and infinity didn't have that aspect really, if the figures were partly pose able then it may have helped because then they would have been toys that could be played with outside of the game, granted, this is only an opinion and should be seen as such, also, distribution is a factor to consider, some places get the game, others down, my local tescos didnt have ether infinity or skylanders for a month or so even though other places already had them
wolkaiser dral
Funny enough my son wanted to play with the infinity figures outside of the game.
Ime and my daughter played with the toys outside the game but I agree it would've been better if they were more like toys and less like figures. Perhaps they could have done them with removable bases 🤷♂️
Was this game developed by the guys that made the Toy Story 3 game?
yeah
@@PukeNation and they also did the cars 3 game
I used to play this game religiously. I still to this day torture my friends with my custom made Kaizo levels with special rules like: No weapons, items and transports unless provided in the level and ONE checkpoint ONLY that is located right at the beginning. Their reactions to trick jumps and hair pulling death traps are priceless.
I always loved making the interior, designing different rooms and areas, I had a whole top floor for marvel, a side place for TV show stuff. Oh boy did I love the marvel stuff, with all the comic references and stuff, my nerdy heart loved it.
I remember me and my best friend always got together to play 3.0 edition, we built battle arenas, race tracks, giant obstacle courses. We still miss Disney Infinity to this day.
My friend was on the team behind the Star Wars playset. We're very pleased to hear the positive reception :)
If you like the Cars world in this, you should try the Cars Video Game that came out with the first movie, it's...actually pretty good.
Also if he liked the driving mechanics in the cars playsets, the cars 2 and 3 games are good in that regard
chuggaafan1 Maternational?
chuggaafan1 played that when I was like 4 lol
Nikbecool it was the shit
Call me Zelda ONE moar time exactly though we might looking at it through rose tinted glasses
i loved this game when i was younger. its pretty cool to see someone talk about it
The thor and iron man flying problem was so easy to solve that im surprised they didnt think about it. Make thor's hammer drag him in arcs like, he throws himself and iron man could have a energy limit to flying. Done, both fit into the themes of the characters and solved the "flying problem"
I have a problem with Disney Infinity. The game was advertised with crossover play between characters. However, the only way to have the characters crossover is in the toy box mode or a very limited amount of the play sets and NEVER in the playsets that serve as the game's story modes. The only way to have Elsa fight Darth Maul or General Grievous is in the Toy Box mode. The Crossover tokens that are found in the Story Mode playsets like Twilight of the Republic or The Force Awakens only unlock the ability to use Star Wars characters that weren't the main playable protagonists for that playset. An example would be for the Twilight of the Republic playset, the crossover tokens unlock Darth Maul and every Star Wars character not featured in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Skylanders didn't lock characters out of story levels. You can play as Kaos even though it didn't make sense. The only characters that worked similarly were Turbo Charge DK and Hammer Slam Bowser not letting players use them on Playstation or Xbox versions of Skylanders Superchargers and Imaginators due to being Nintendo characters that were promoting the Nintendo versions of Superchargers. Since the Crossover tokens unlock characters from the same property, they shouldn't be called CROSSOVER tokens at all!
The solution is you make your own levels where Elsa has to fight Star Wars characters. Problem solved.
@@paleo2359, that is the main component of the problem, not the solution. I want story and adventure from out of the box, not the requirement to build one from scratch. Besides, the Toy Box mode doesn’t have any sort of story cut-scenes at all. I’m more of a person for character arcs and interactions, not Minecraft with Disney characters.
Duuuude my dad and I played this game! We had a city with an awesome Paintball arena, a sick mansion complete with a secret hallway for guest rooms, and a giant island we kept expanding! I loved the Disney Infinity franchise!
Also, the part about the Violet figure was so true lol, her and Elastagirl's figures broke all the time.
Kohdok, my dude you got major kudos from me for the music choices. Big O, Inferno Cop... shine on my dude
I'd love for disney inifnity to be ported to switch but like a complete edition u just have everything digitally swap figures digitally nice and simple no bs
Or it could be ported the same as sky landers, I’d love to see it come out on switch
I had a dream disney infinity was back, but it had tf2, jojo and a lot of other franchises in it as well... that’d be such a great reality.
I think the problem is that 2.0 is the awkward puberty of the series, and it was right when they could have gotten new players. 1.0 was simple and fun and similar to a lot of LEGO style collectathons, but with a complex and intuitive creation tool. 2.0 had a bigger emphasis on combat, and that was expanded upon, but the combat was still really repetitive and uninvolving. It’s also bad that the only one of the playsets they released for 2.0 that had interesting and involving combat, mission design, and really solid level design for platforming was the Guardians of the Galaxy one (which was done by the people who did the Pirates play set).
For 3.0, they got Ninja Theory (DmC, Heavenly Sword) to reinvent the combat and they made it this combo focused and incredibly fun and satisfying DmC-lite melee attack system with all the force powers and newer Marvel characters, and all three of the Star Wars playsets play like polished PS2 action platformers, like Ratchet and Clank, or even (once again) the platforming focused DmC. It was so good. And with a few more additions, like the Doctor Strange and Spider-Gwen figures and the Rogue One and Moana playsets, it could have ended with a bang instead of a whimper. C’mon Disney. AT LEAST release them as figurines. The Spider-Gwen one looked SO GOOD.
Mildly unrelated but my dad bought the Yoda figure for 3.0 without even knowing it was for a video game
I'm watching this because I have Alot of nostalgia of Disney Infinity on the wii and just getting on Christmas and then playing it with my brother and I just being afraid of the guy with the mushroom hat which I called mushroom sword guy
Let’s just say you have a lot of characters in whom you could’ve put in for Disney Infinity but sadly didn’t.
i still play and buy things for this game this is my favourite game of all time and the nostalgia will never disappear still sad to this day it was discontinued but still love the game to pieces
I remember finding out about Disney infinity 3.0 in 2015 and I wanted it so badly and finding out it had star wars I new i had to get it and I remember working really hard the summer of 2015 and getting the game but I was so disappointed when they canceled it 2016.
Who still plays Disney infinity
Johnathan Samano Me! The Toybox mode is what made this game! Check out 72Pringle on here for some awesome builds!
Johnathan Samano occasionally
Without a doubt, its the most chilled out game I love to play. Timeless.
Me
I recently bought the Lone Ranger Playset, and it was so good. I wish Infinity had 4.0 as one last hurrah, I feel like it ended too soon.
I wish they had a Indiana Jones level. It would have been so cool to go adventuring through temples with Indy and others like Marion Short Round and Indy's Dad.
I'm so mad this got cancelled. I ADORE THIS GAME!!!!!! And 4.0 seemed to be the grand finale we never got. I hope in the future we'll get to see that 4.0
Even so, having 4.0 without any necessary use of toys to life, cause God knows I would.
I was in 3rd grade when the first one came out and I thought it was awesome and I think it had a cool concept but I hate how they made the characters cost a lot (I can't remember how much they costed). I remember I would ask my parents for a character and they said "save up your money" but I was a little kid so I spent my money on candy or whatever. The only character I got was Mater. And I begged my parents to buy me the newer one but then I saw the new Guitar Hero and decided I wanted that instead.
I think the thing that drew me to Disney Infinity the most was it's Toy Box feature, so it hit hard when the online service died. I loved exploring other people's creations, and I had plans to make and share a truly immersive world based on my favorite Disney Property, Tron!
I remember enjoying Disney infinity when it first came out. It was pretty enjoyable. Had fun playing with sibling and friends. Never got too much into building though. Loved playing the player built levels though.Never played 2 and 3 though.
I hear that Stardust Crusaders music in the background, sir. Subbed instantly
Disney infinity was fun
And now I wait until someone wants to buy my woody figure for a stupidly high price
Same but i got a few rare ones too. Like crystal Perry.
Lol. Are they expensive? Someone round the corner is selling there's for £1
Should I go and get it?
Poor United Front. That's the real tragedy after all this happened. I loved these games, but when United Front went down the drain, they took all those games I loved and the possible ones in the future with them.
Edit: Good News, though. I just got 2.0 new for 99 cents today at my Gamestop, so come get your dirt cheap Disney Infinity figures and discs today!
Did you get the entire Disney Infinity 2.0 Starter Pack for 0.99$ or did you get only the Game Disc?
@@giorgos_karidopoulos I didn't get the starter pack, but I did get the disk, a playset, and 2 extra figures for that playset. All for just 99 cents.
I wish they continued it we might have gotten kh characters
They called it and quit because they knew it was gonna die
I miss this game sooooooo much still buying and collecting figures (anyone got a baymax they dont need) the thinking was that in the playsets the characters would interact as they would within their franchise hence the franchise lock the toy box was where a "child could pick up their toys and race dory vs Darth Vader in a sugar rush candy car and have olaf dance with Darth maul" (sorry for essentially the same analagy it's just funny to envision Sith doing these fun things)
Disney infinity for the Wii was my favourite game on earth around 4 years ago. I wish it was on the switch, however that would work.
I love your retrospectives.
I'm a Spider-Gwen fan and they were making a figure for her for this game. Plus they were making a storyline mode and single player storyline Multiverse crossover storyline for the game (which the internet world building is nice but I always hope for a good challenging and fun and well writing story mode in these games). I like the art style of the toys and ad how it was ended just as the game was starting to feel more complete and worth it.
At the time I got a few figures just for the characters and art style but I didn't own a console just a pc. I wished the game stands worked and was patched to work with PCs (they were connected by USB for consoles). Reading about what was to come had me very hopeful and in the beginning Disney marketed this game but then just pulled the plug out of nowhere.
Also as a few people wrote many of the sets didn't have a storyline mode (a draw for the game was that each playset was its own individual game but many of the playsets didn't get one like Frozen playset) plus couldn't crossover (example Elsa and Captain America couldn't play together and that hurts imagination and fun forced to do things plus ruins the crossover factors). What you could do sometimes felt had to much repetition to be long term fun.
For me being a kid at that time. The main reason I didn't get very many infinity stuff was because once I got the first one the second one came out of the blue a little less than a year later and because it was expensive at the time even I didn't think it was worth it.
Each game should have had about 2 or 3 years in between them, and even letting you play old play sets in the new games
Killing it with the background music
Ok just the JoJo one
I wonder if they made a fourth year thing what would it be? Would be the Muppets or something else
x-men lol It was planned to be Moana and Rogue One for 3.0's lifetime and 4.0 was planned to probably to TLJ and have a focus on classical cartoons.
The real question is what 5.0 would be like
My guess is the simpsons (as disney owns fox now),episode 9 for star wars,and infinty war for marvel,a man can dream...
Cleveland Rocks The Simpson’s were already in LEGO Dimensions
_John The Gamer _ yes i know that,but in 2018 disney and fox have signed a deal so i believe that disney could use fox property's with permission
_John The Gamer _ this isn't Lego dimensions this Disney infinity and Disney now owns some of Fox so the Simpson's could have been it
1.0 is my favorite by far
14:28 just realised that Stardust Man Appears plays in the background
Wait, did you just say Infinity was monetized more than Skylanders?
Skylanders put paywalls to unlock areas to allow you to 100% the game, requiring you to buy one of each element figure (and not the cheaper ones).
Infinity topped that. There are certain item and treasure chests that can only be opened by SPECIFIC characters and even huge vaults that can be opened only if you own every character from that world. Skylanders only makes you buy 1/4th of the characters to unlock nearly everything and doesn't try to hock an extension cord on you on top of that.
Gosh I remember the DI Star Wars games were a lot better than most previous Star Wars games I played growing up. It’s kind of interesting that Disney had foresight on the end of Toys to Life games, my personal annoyance is that the Hera figure never made it past planning stages and recordings of her voice actress.
There might've been some consumer burnout in terms of toy-to-life (which I blame mostly on Nintendo refusing to make enough amiibo's to meet demand), but to say that there wasn't any more potential, when they have access to THOUSANDS of characters and IP's at their disposal? I call BS on that.
I loved Disney Infinity.
Remember when just a starter set would cost over $100 and now you can get all three games with all the content on Steam for $80?
I know I am WAY late to this game, but I have a question: I just bought 3.0 (for the PS3 - have not received it yet), but my daughter really wants the Loki figure (from 2.0). Question: Do I have to now buy 2.0 so she can play with the Loki figure? Are 2.0 figures only playable with 2.0 (and 3.0 figures only playable with 3.0)? Sorry for the newb questions - just trying to NOT waste money. Thanks!
I want a dark wing duck figure with the moana play set as well as a gravity falls play set, with x men characters.
I still have all of my Disney Infinity characters! I would always ask for them in my Christmas list, good times
So true about yondu .Hes way more likable in guardians of the galaxy volume 2.
there was still brave figures in 2019 at walmart
Still see star wars in homebargins
Apparently they're releasing 4.0 in 2022
I had a lot of those.
Nick Fury,
Iron Man,
Thor,
Donald Duck,
Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey (Clear one),
Tinker Bell (i know),
Luke,
Vader,
The Tron Dude,
Buzz (Clear one),
And others I wasn’t able to mention,
Have fun in the shelf.
That franky background theme thooo
Love the Jojo music in the background
Wait...So, in Skylanders Switch you only need to scan the figures once as it's portable, so can you just get free characters by borrowing othets figures/ buying, scanning and returning?
Thanks for doing this :)
Sometimes when I look at my collection that I also mostly collected just at the tail end of the fallout and after, I wonder about it. It felt as though part of it was still confusing. Why DID the 2nd best selling toys to life company *Disney* Jump out so suddenly? What happened?
And you just put it the best way for me to understand. Bad management. They had several game developing companies to pay and not enough money to do it. Okay, I'm not good at quoting but your explanation was solid and thank you so much.
I still wish they could've planned an ending around 4.0 because it seems as though that would've been the gameplay that could probably continue to be the most entertaining. Like "Hey friend of mine! You feel like stopping the clone wars with Jack Skellington and Rapunzel? Because pumpkins and frying pans!"
Pirates of the caribbean set is like AC Black Flag for kids :D
I feel like the Pirates of the Caribbean playset is what Sea of Thieves originally wanted to be.
I only ended up playing the IOS version of Disney Infinity. It was pretty decent, just never decided to touch the console version due to having to buy the characters.
Nice! I like Retrospectives.
I'm still mad they never released Hera. We have the main rebel crew, except Hera. And she's the best character, to me anyways.
Got disney infinity collection on pc and everything comes unlocked and it's digital. Best collection ever. Recommend it. Disney infinity lives on
As someone who owns all three, the original for the Wii, *shudder*, the second for the PS3, and the third for the PS4. I really enjoyed all three, with the third being the weakest, mainly due to me giving the Wii a handicap. The second was the best, with so many Marvel characters in just NYC, and also the more refined Toy Box.
I’m sorry that Disney infinity got canceled 2 years ago but they couldn’t create the Moana figure. They also can’t create Avatar figures, Bug’s Life figures, Peter Pan figure, a Goofy figure, and a Russel figure.
Played both swap force and 1.0 on the Wii. Must say, they were entirely different and infinity was the better game.
I still play this game it's still fun to experiment with the toy box and everything it's also cool to see all these Disney characters put into a game the figures are pretty cool to cause you get to play as your favourite Disney characters in this open world and creative game and with the figures you get a cool little display with them I like the Nick Wilde figure and Perry the platypus
I really wish this genre didn't crash. Because I'm in a broke family I never got to play then very much cause it's expensive. But I really wanted to.
Disney Infinity was my childhood; all 3 of all of em. I was devastated when it was cancelled.
Who remembers the Toy Story 3 game Toybox? That was the stuff
Hoping for a lego dimensions retrospective as I never played the game
Disney infinity was an experience entirely of its own and boy was it amazing
