Some strange part of me has wanted Disney Infinity for some time now. This may very well push me over the edge.

I am buying...ALL OF THESE. I liked everything I saw.

@boodoug187 I bet we'll get one. I mean, any character who's been in that one Marvel kids show is probably easy pickings for these.

And the sad thing is this is most likely the best Marvel game to come out in a long time. Certainly better than the abysmal ASM2 thing Activision just put out.

Good on them for being backwards compatible with all the old junk from the first game.

Actually I wonder if the old playsets are still compatible too, not just the figures. I've bought a ton of crap but the Wii U version is so chuggy that I haven't spent much time actually playing it.

@noelveiga: Marvel Heroes is pretty good though. It's come a very long way since its pretty poor launch.

Also, MODOK. So awesome. Ryan would've been psyched...

That Spider-Man looks just like the one from the Spectacular animated series. I might have to get this.

@jaycee: He might not be a "figure" you can buy. Like for example in the Infinity Toy Story game Rex, the pig and other well known characters are just npc's.

So from the details released it sounds like the 2.0 Starter Pack is all-marvel. It includes Thor, Black Widow and Iron Man. It sounds like there is just one big playset and will launch with 6 Marvel characters.

They will be releasing additional playsets. IGN claims there will be non-Marvel playsets and characters but I'm not reading that from any of the other sources.

Johnny V directly said this on the live stream.

And just like that, I'm interested in Disney's Infinity 2.0. :)

I mean, it couldn't possibly be worse than Marvel Heroes!

So if you team up The Incredibles and The Fantastic Four, will the universe explode?

Whenever a new Punisher movie or show is in the works.

Aside from what was already announced/shown you can expect the Fantastic Four and Daredevil to also be playable characters due to the fact that they're both located in New York and have upcoming live action projects coming out.

@fonkymucker said:

Yes, they can. It's extremely unlikely that Wolverine won't part of the "and over a dozen more characters" statement made at the press conference.

I'm assuming you're asking the question because Marvel doesn't own the X-Men movie license, but this has nothing to do with that contract. That contract specifically applies to live action X-Men adaptions, ie movies and TV. Stuff like video games, cartoons, etc, fall under a different area entirely.

Note Spider-Man is in the game even though the movie license is Sony and the game license is Activision, however the current Spider-Man cartoon (Ultimate Spider-Man) airs on Disney XD because that version of Spider-Man, ie animated series, is holey owned by Disney/Marvel. As for why Spidey can appear in this game when Activision owns the game license it's because this isn't a Spider-Man specific game. Nobody has an exclusivity on the Marvel Universe as a whole which is why we've had various Marvel Universe games from different publishers over released in recent years like Marvel Heroes, Marvel vs Capcom 3, etc, etc.

Bottom line is that they can use any and all Marvel characters as long as they do it under the Disney Infinity brand.

For those who didn't watch the conference or read up on it yet, here are some of the highlights

- All the existing stuff, figures, discs, pad, toy boxes, etc, works in conjunction with this.

- There are now character classes. Characters play much differently from each other unlike the first game.

- Characters can level up to level 20 and will have skill trees.

- New Power Discs for support characters who will assist you like Iron Patriot and Winter Soldier. There will also be Power Discs that include alternate costumes for characters.

- Interiors now exist in the game proper and Toy Box mode.

- There is character housing where you can display various items/trophies/achievements you've earned.

- A tower defense mode and dungeon crawler mode have been added to the game. Both feature storylines.

- Toy Box has been greatly expanded with new tools including Builders, AI who (if you wish) will build stuff in the Toy Box mode alongside you.

- You can create more detailed missions in the Toy Box mode on the level of the missions found in the game. It's much more robust than what was in the original version.

that was super geeky, I had to pause it a couple of times to gawk over some of the cameos. Apparently there's ultimate Green Goblin, Stitch and M.O.D.O.K. And man those designs look wonderful, I'd be proud to have that on my desk.

I'm it was pretty fleeting, but I'm actually super excited by the fact that you can see Stitch, Merida, and Maleficent :)

@charlee_coco: Thanks for the summary!

I was hoping for more playsets to use the existing figures in with this 2.0 version, but it seems like any future playsets will just be Marvel themed for Marvel characters only.

This release is still a nice expansion to Disney Infinity, but gosh darn it, I would love playsets to use characters like Vanellope and Rapunzel in, rather than just the Toy Box alone.

Yeah me too. Really wish that you could use other characters outside of X toy set in X toy set. Especially since so many of the characters play exactly the same. Maybe someday they'll do an update that enables it. I'm sure someone could mod/hack the PC version to allow it. Obviously certain characters wouldn't work well or at all within certain playsets, ie Cars figures in the Pirates playsets, but it still be fun to screw around with them.

UPDATE:

Even though they didn't announce any new Disney characters at the press conference you can spot

Stich (Lilo & Stitch)

Meredith (Brave)

Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)

in the first 15 seconds of the trailer.

I guess Maleficent isn't really a surprise given the upcoming movie. It's funny how easy it is to predict what figures will for sure show up simply because of cross promotion. For instance it's pretty unlikely that Daredevil won't be a figure given that this is set in New York and because of the upcoming Daredevil show on Netflix.

Dammit, I might finally buy Disney Infinity. It was going to be this or Tron that finally made me buy it. Maybe I'll just wait for reviews of the game and just buy the figures because of the Marvel fan in me.

I'm amused by how they can never show the Avengers containing Spider-Man or Wolverine because of how chopped up all the Marvel movie rights are.
