It’s been a while since the gaming world has seen something as exciting as what Disney Interactive has cooked up with its new Disney Infinity platform. Get ready, because the usual rules of the game are about to change! John Lasseter himself, Chief Creative Officer of Pixar and The Walt Disney Animation Studio, assures us of that. Well, let’s find out exactly what this is all about and why Activision’s Skylanders is worth getting excited about right now.
Disney Infinity isn’t another game or even just a collection of toys. It’s a unique hybrid platform where the physical world interacts with the virtual world. How does it work? Everything is simple and, at the same time, very cool! At the start of the project, we are waiting for as many as 40 interactive figures based on our favorite Disney and Pixar movies. And, believe us, this is just the beginning!
Players will be able to place the figures on a special Infinity base, and voila — completely new game worlds and possibilities will open before you. Thus, each hero literally comes to life before your eyes, immersing you in amazing adventures. It immediately becomes clear why Disney makes a big bet on this platform.
What Is Waiting for Gamers in Disney Infinity?
First of all, it is everyone’s favorite characters and scenes from Disney and Pixar cartoons. Have you ever dreamed of having a race with Lightning McQueen or going on a journey with Jack Sparrow? Now everyone will have such an opportunity — and in a completely new format.
The main heart of the platform will be a unique mode called “Toy Box” (Toy Box). This is a place where your imagination is not limited and where players can create their own worlds and adventures by combining characters, environment and even the rules of the game. Moreover, special interactive disks allow you to give your characters new abilities, gadgets and stylish accessories. And who would refuse to organize a battle of pirates and superheroes in their own virtual world?
The idea of Disney Infinity is also to breathe new life into the characters familiar to us since childhood. By combining real toys with virtual worlds, children (and adults too!) will be able to look at their favorite characters from a new angle. Here Disney is clearly betting on the emotions and imagination of players, and, we must say, it looks very promising.
In addition, the platform itself is not just a one-off adventure. It will become a full-fledged ecosystem that will evolve over time, offering more and more new characters, abilities, and scenarios. Disney Infinity is truly an endless adventure, limited only by your imagination.
It’s obvious that Disney is serious about turning the gaming market upside down, and they’re well positioned to do so. Perhaps we should get ready that our rooms will soon be full of our favorite Disney and Pixar characters, and our free time will become much less — because it will be really hard to tear ourselves away from Disney Infinity!
