>Disney Infinity will be shut down

>Back to Licensing
Weird, but will that mean they'll let other developers finally make games with their franchises again?
Remember when they took away the marvel rights from capcom and took away Marvel vs Capcom from the online store? And then made that shitty mobile fighter instead?
So does this mean Kingdom Hearts 3 is cancelled?
>>337162309
Thats Square, not Disney
What'll happen next is more akin to how Disney is letting Square use their IPs
>>337162309
Yes, because Square Enix can't afford to publish the game themselves.
SUPER JUST
>disney infinite will be shut down
>no more models to be ported for sfm porn
>it's another episode of OP didn't use the catalog
>>337161264
Wasn't Disney Infinity doing really well?
>>337163005
It was, just not enough as Iger wanted
So what happens now, they pull the plug on the servers and nobody can play the game anymore?
>>337163078
>Iger
That breathing cadaver is so fucking out of touch it's revolting.
>>337163161
Yep, and no more infinity figs being made
The software team got laid off
And the production manufacturer got terminated
>>337163271
Fuck thats brutal
>>337163271
wew, I wanted to check it out on PC but never got around to it. At least I never spent a dime on it, I was using some codes consolefriends gave me.
>pulling out of the console market
Oh gee, why would they do such a thing?
>>337161264
>shuts down Avalance Studios
WHAT
THE
FUCK
Why not sell this great studio?
>>337163005
no, the money each wave made more or less ended being spent entirely to make the next one.
A fucking shame. The Infinity figures were really nice looking compared to Skylanders
No because Disney is formed of stubborn goats and they love their monopoly. MvC is dead for good.
>>337163528
cause they know they can just invest 60 million$ in a movie to racks a billion benefits, while the plastic toys cost more to distribute worldwide, for less benefits.
>>337161264
>yfw no more shitty shovelware games
2016 is turning out so great
>>337163078
>>337163194
Reminder that Bob Iger put a Consumer Products guy in charge of the theme parks that wants to retheme the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror to Guardians of the Galaxy for no good reason beyond "We need Marvel in the parks ASAP and I'm not willing to pay for something good in-between the expenses for Shanghai and Star Wars Land."
>>337162309
Disney licenses to Square, it's also the reason why you see the shift towards more original characters from Square instead of Square licensing more FF characters.
DUCKTALES 2 REMASTERED CONFIRMED
>>337163567
Avalanche Studios is not the same as Avalanche Software. The latter is the one shutting down.
>>337163967
Jokes on you, now Nintendo is going to have a monopoly and push this shit to no end
aw yiss
I thought they were going to shit up the party but they finally decided to abandon the scene.
>>337163567
Avalanche Software. Not Avalanche Studios. Fuck. Lots of /v/ gonna try to troll saying Just Cause is done for.
What does this mean? Can we still do the single player shit? Will the servers still be up to play people's levels? Can we still download the content for play sets when we buy them?
>>337164483
Servers won't be up friendo; it's dead
>>337164221
To be fair the "not wanting to build more rides" thing is pretty reasonable. Star Wars land is gonna cost like 500 million bucks or something, and that's not including daily operational cost. Between that and building an entire fucking theme park in Shanghai, I wouldn't want to build another park either. I mean it's probably over a billion dollars of construction at this point.
>>337163967
Actually thank Mobile games, the shovelware got pushed to where idiots still buy that shit.
>>337161264
>Disney: Infinity
More like Disney: A Little Less than 3 Years
>>337164872
That was awful.
Disney: Infinity warfare
>>337165109
Perfectly complementing the gameplay I might add
>>337164221
>renaming the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Over the fucking line.
How much longer until Skylanders and amiibo go under?
>>337165303
It'd only be a temporary thing, like the Haunted Mansion Holiday.
>>337164221
>>337165303
As a Floridian who went to Disney his whole life boy am I salty. ToT was fucking great.
>>337163967
#BringBackTheKing
>>337165616
Supposedly a permanent thing. Meant to be a springboard for a Marvel area at California Adventure.
>>337166708
Nah, they wouldn't do that. Tower of Terror is the most popular ride in the park.
Didn't Disney Infinity like... just launch? Like a year and a half ago right?
Kek, I'm going to Disney World next month. I wonder if they'll just pretend like it wasn't a thing that existed.
>>337166856
Retheming the Tower of Terror would also mean they wouldn't have to send CBS licensing shekels to use the Twilight Zone brand.
>>337167319
Three-four years ago I think
>>337167319
Disney World never had a really big Infinity presence.
>>337167518
Really? I guess I never noticed it because it came out with all the other cash grabs then.
>>337167532
I went there last year as well, and while it wasn't massive, they still had entire walls dedicated to the figures in some of the bigger shops.
>>337161264
It's always a shame when people lose their jobs like this, but to be fair even after three attempts the Disney Infinity formula was far from perfect. At least the figures were nice.
>>337164221
The real tragedy in all of this is that everyone at Avalanche is losing their jobs. This is the exact same mindset Disney had when they fired their entire IT department and replaced them with a third party firm that only hires poo-in-loos on H1B1s. Fuck you Disney
>>337161264
>licensing model
EA is gonna snag those rights to all their franchises and Activision is rejoicing that they finally have a opportunity to sell their shit
Activision was losing to Disney on that front.
>>337164221
Make the Aerosmith ride GotG and leave ToT alone.
How much do you think the figures will be worth after it shuts down?
Epic Mickey 3 when
how much money is enough, you fucking jews?
>>337168194
disney kickstarter soon
Has any of these toy games ever been hacked, infinity has a pc version which is asking to be hacked but it hasn't been done. Even skylanders wii version has no action replay codes whatsoever. Do people just not want to get sued over a mediocre game?
>>337164221
Are they really gonna pull another fucking Mummy over Kongfrontation scenario? Goddamn it.
>>337167930
Don't touch Aerosmith you philistines
>>337165303
ToT was my favorite ride at the California park, if it's true that they're repurposing it the that's a damn shame.
When will the servers officially shut down?
>>337168294
>Has any of these toy games ever been hacked, infinity has a pc version which is asking to be hacked but it hasn't been done. Even skylanders wii version has no action replay codes whatsoever. Do people just not want to get sued over a mediocre game?
There is a Chinese cloning thing for amiibos I forgot what it's called; it allows for modding too
Someone originally hacked the Skylanders shit and he got a swift visit from Activision lawyers. They don't fuck around and they'll send your ass to a black site over a fucking toy. So no, other than amiibos we don't have anything
Just give us MVC4 pls
>>337163528
Shut up idiot
The game was shit, Activision has the shitty plastic toy market cornered and continuing is just going to cost them in the long run
>PC MASTER RACE LOL
That's why the PC version had no figures and did the worst right
>>337168535
Amiiqo. Unencrypted RFID spoofing seems retardedly easy, I'm fairly certain you could do it with a smartphone but nobody wants to make an app for it since they'd get raped by lawyers.
>>337168350
No, much cheaper then that. Like they'll redecorate the interior for something apparently based around the Collector's Mansion and they'll slap a new coat of paint and other bits on the outside. Because fuck the Hollywood surroundings, slap some ayys in there.
>>337168535
That's a shame. these games seem interesting, but a character unlocker would be the only way I'd ever think of touching one.
the leaker from a few months back said disney and nintendo were working together because they didn't like how infinity was performing. sounding plausible now
>We actually had a chance of getting a kingdomhearts playset for Disney infinity.
>You can even unlock a keyblade as a ultimate unlock
>They also did this with a lightsaber for starwars.
We almost had a fucking kingdom hearts sandbox game.

>>However during E3 2015, Disney, due to the Skylander partnership Nintendo made, began to negotiate with the company. Disney has been very disappointed with the Infinity line and now seeks to work with Nintendo on a collaboration project. Nintendo, remembering the old Mario prototype, spent two months refining it and inserted into the second group Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald respectively as Team Two with mishmashed Mario and Disney worlds. It has gone over very well both on the Nintendo and Disney side and has entered into full production. Concept art for this game is off the hook, featuring such thing as Mario and friends as Fantasia wizards (with Magikoopa-like wands) and Mickey and friends in Fire Flower garb (with Mickey ears being fireballs!) Concept art also features crazy worlds such as courses inside the interior of a clock tower, climbing a bean stalk with bean type enemies and Bullet Bills raining down, a haunted house boss level with the Mad Doctor creating a Frankenstein-like body for King Boo to possess and a Alice In Wonderland maze with sword fighting playing cards and Piranha Plants growing out of roses. Disney and Nintendo has even planned out to have an “electro swing”-like soundtrack with Disney lending its best music talents (including Frozen vocals) for vocals in the game’s music with big marketing plans on both Nintendo and Disney’s side."
>3) E3 – During E3 2016, Nintendo will show its full list of games for the system and all of its third party partnerships. Shockingly, Nintendo is also going to reveal the launch date and price of the system there.

FAKE
Does this mean the figures are going to become cheaper or more expensive?
Because there are a few I kinda want.
>>337170486
You know damn well if they made a zootopia game it's going to.
A. Be a half ass cash in and suck
B. Be a Mobile F2P game give use all of your money if you want your favorite animals.
Take your pick.
>>337170851
The'yll probably rise in the coming months and decline at the start of 2017.
>>337161264
Huh...
I applied to Avalanche studios once upon a time (last year actually) to be a developer with next to no experience. Got rejected pretty quickly.
>>337170942

>>337161264
>Disney Infinity will be shut down

>>337170942
They mostly hire artists and animators iirc. Their code/design teams are pretty underwhelming.

Man I fucking loved the Disney Infinity figures. And the game was honestly fun as fuck too. I own every Disney and Star Wars figure.
Just a bummer we're going to miss out on stuff like Moana and Peter Pan now.
WE NEVER EVEN GOT GOOFY
>>337168663
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the PC version actually a free download?

This is what happens when you let a Jew take over Disney. Eisner may have been one, but at least he didn't let his personal and political beliefs get in the way of making a profit. Iger is the very definition of the worst kind of greedy jew.

Nigga the Aerosmith ride fucking sucks. Space Mountain is and always will be the superior Disney roller coaster.
Though in all honestly Universal Studios kicks Disney's ass when it comes to rides.
>>337165821
Mein neiger. They can't do this to my childhood.
>mfw getting over my fear and going on ToT/Test Track for the first time
Big fan of anything that damages disneys bottom line.
>>337167716
The problem is Disney does not respect the gaming platform and only sees it as a means to extend their film IPs. They should be investing in studios to create Original content and at the same time, work on existing IP's that make sense for games.
>>337164408
If anything, this means there will be more shelf space for Amiibos rather then it taking up the 3ds game rows. Also I should remind myself to by some of the cool Disney figs in the next few months, (get'em cheap).
>>337161264
Was really hoping that they would at least release the rest of the Big Hero 6 figures.
I really want that Gogo figure forshooting my loadon and I've never done that before
>>337168116
the used ones are already in bargain bins for like 3 to 5 dollars
>>337168535
Disney is probably the most evil entertainment corporation in america with it's indoctrination with marvel movies and killing any mildly good or innovative IP.
>>337162804
Was there porn of D:I models?
The real reasons the dumbfucks failed is obvious just look at the fucking figures they're releasing.
>Nintendo is making gangbusters selling Amiibos on nostalgia of all their most popular IPs
>Dumb kikes at Disney just pumping out whatever the most recent movie is as if any kid cares or the fucking LEGION of manchildren that worship Disney
Nobody was asking for fucking Spot from the Good Dinosaur. We should have been getting the popular classics.
>>337170486
I'd love for a PG-ish GTA (with a few crude/inside gags) with a polished plot, but we'd be lucky if Disney doesn't go for the cheapest route possible.
>>337175641
>manchildren worshiping disney
That's a common thing isn't it.
I remember running into one that was overly rabid about how Frozen was the best movie and how Rise of the Guardians was a trainwreck because of Jack Frost.
He made up 3 fake movies to critique because he didn't like people saying Elsa and Jack frost would be a couple.
>>337163005
It was the number 1 seller in the TTL market beating out Amiibos, Skylanders and LEGO Dimensions.
Star Wars helped push it to the top.
Infinity was profitable.
It just wasn't ultra profitable. The market isn't growing any further and it's crowded with the other competitors.
>>337177420
Of course it is. They're more rabid than Nintendo fans. I'll admit to being a huge Disney manchild. And tons of guys and girls my age (early-mid twenties) are the same way. It's a similar situation with Star Wars fans.
That's why Amiibos were selling out immediately and being scalped. It wasn't children doing it. It was manchildren. And Disney could have easily had the manchild audience as well but all they gave them were Aladdin, Baloo, Donald and Mulan.
The thing is modern properties like The Good Dinosaur and Wreck It Ralph don't have lasting power right now. So the market is kids who are into Disney Infinity and into that particular move at the exact time it comes out and afterward you get nothing which is why you still see Wreck It Ralph playsets shelfwarming two games later.

>They actually modeled the belly button
>>337178369
Sumo has been free from DI forever. They were only contracted for the kart racing side game and that's it. It was a contract they willing accepted so I have no idea why you assume DI is the reason an ASR 3 doesn't exist.
SEGA clearly doesn't give a shit.

I want Disney to actually make good content for their channels atleast reruns ala Boomerang but even Boomerang has gone to shit.
I would consider getting og characters of Kim possible and the other animated stuff like recess 90's-07 Disney shows I don't feel like typing out.
Only good content Disney makes these days are movies and specials based on movies(toy story of horror&christmas).
The channel is dogshit with live action stuff with no charm. Xdhas some alright stuff I suppose.
This feels a bit too familiar.
>>337179670
>not making an aggro-crag or that temple from legends
never touched DI but I'd assume (hope) that's possible
and if it is I might plunk down the cash to actually buy this as long as the servers stay up for at least a few more months.
While I stopped playing the game, I did enjoy collecting the figures themselves. They had a nice stylized look to them and they looked nice on a shelf. I was looking forward to more of the Marvel stuff.
>>337180026
No. They want out for money reasons. They see no point in investing in video games when simply licensing shit out makes them just as much money, if not more without having to eat development cost.
Essentially, they rather put their own people out of jobs just to save a few bucks.

It won't go up. There's too much product out there. The only ones that have the possibility of being worth something in the future are the Alice and Dory playsets. I imagine the amount produce for those will be much smaller than everything else they've pumped out.
>>337180878
Because Nintendo is jewish in a smart way.
Artificial lack of supply + knowing their manchild audience.

>>337180648

>>337180878

By the sounds of it, this was a decision they made during a lunch break and just now decided to tell everyone.
>>337161264
>Back to Licensing

>>337181101
Infinity sales beat out Skylanders last year and it was #1 again this year with the Star Wars push.

Fat chance. Enjoy more mobile games.

Interesting, but not entirely surprising.
The writing was on the wall when they announced that EA would be given the reins for the entire Star Wars IP.
>>337181382
First I want a UMvC3 patch that makes it not shit. I only want MvC4 if the best girl is in it.
Ducktales Remastered is still up everywhere, also a Capcom published game. It's Marvel, not Disney who did this shit.
>>337182692
Oakland, come on man. Learn to read.
Disney Infinity has been shut down completely. All of it. The Pixar, the Disney Originals and the Star Wars pillars are all going, not just Marvel.
Avalanche Studios and Disney Interactive are also being shut down. Those were inhouse Disney video game development departments.
Ducktales Remastered was developed by WayForward and published by Capcom. The only connection they have with Disney is the license.
Wait so was Avalanche the ONLY studio at Disney Interactive, or...?
>>337183156
The whole Disney cockblocking developers from using the Marvel IP is incorrect though. That's what I'm saying. Disney is pretty fucking lenient with licensing their shit out and have been.
Castle of Illusion, who's developer is six feet under is still up on the stores and Sega still holds the license.
Not to mention, every fucking Disney PSone game is on PSN.
>>337182610
I'd like X23 to be in MvC4 as well but I can live without her in it. If anything, I'd rather that they experiment with more new character to keep it interesting.
That being said, I can't really think of anyone I'd want to get rid of from UMvC3. Everyone was pretty damn unique in both looks and gameplay. Obviously, there is some overrepresentation like four Resident Evil characters and five X-Men characters but, overall, UMvC3 has an excellent roster with plenty of variety and very few clones. Aside from the standby characters, like Ryu and Wolverine, I wouldn't mind so much if they changed up the vast majority of the roster.
>>337184131
I understand Akuma was in EVERY Marvel crossover, but there was still no fucking reason for him to be in MvC3 if there couldn't be fucking Mega Man.
