Disney Infinity musings

[crazy4stitch]

I have to say that so far, Disney Infinity on the Wii is a fail. You can't play 2 player in the play set mode, and so far in the toy box mode we have not been able to access any of the "toys" we have gotten in the spins of the vault. so basically we are just running around shooting boxes. I can see where this game could be fun on one of the other consoles, but the Wii is all we have. And I have been trying since Sunday to login to the Infinity website so register the cards we have, but it just keeps taking me back to the login.

Was so looking forward to this game, but it should never have been put out on the Wii with these limitations.

Per the Disney Infinity Facebook page:

As of August 20th we have deployed a new patch for Play Station 3 players experiencing certain issues including freezing, hitching, corrupted game saves and crashes.

Please follow these steps:

Turn on your Console
Connect Online
Insert your Disney Infinity Game Disc
As soon as you load the game should prompt you with the update
Please Download the Update
Enjoy Disney Infinity!

Please note: The patch does not fix corrupted game saves, so for players with corrupted game saves please delete them and start your Infinity experience anew. Also, make sure to Take Ownership of your figure from the pause menu.

We thank you so much for you patience while we worked on this. Now, go ahead and get playing!

Got the update and am happy to report that it played flawlessly for us. We were ok with out the patch because we could do everything that wasn't online and we aren't big online players.

Interesting, we're using on the Wii and we can use all those items and things.

The problems we have are related to lag on the voices. About 25% of the time the voices stutter like crazy.

It's insanely annoying. I'm hoping they have some sort of fix for it soon.

I wouldn't have bought it for the Wii but my wife wanted it for the Wii.

I wouldn't have bought it for the Wii but my wife wanted it for the Wii.

What's funny is that my wife said the exact opposite. I asked her if she would be interested in playing this with me, and she said "surre, I guess some" I then asked if I should go with the PS3 or Wii U version, and she said she didn't want to use the wii remote (I wouldn't give up the gamepad).

Pretty please can one of u nice people ask in store if the characters in the USA will work on the games in Europe? It does in skylanders so hope it will on these. They are nearly twice the price per character and I could order them and pick it up when I am at disney in October.


Thanks!

Installed new PS3 patch and brought game back online last night with no problems. Wish there was an online play feature to meet other players already playing online.

I think this will happen. Unless it's a "security" issue.

Jack Skellington is on pre-order at Game Stop and there are rumors on the Internet of 2 different SKUs, one for release on 10/1 and one for release on 10/31. Could this be a Halloween variant? Can anyone confirm the 2 different SKUs?

This is news to me. What I heard was that Jack would be released exclusively at Game Stop from 10/5-10/28 and then sold elsewhere from thereon. It's even mentioned here which is why they're doing pre-orders. It would be awesome if they started doing holiday variants though.

I've joked about a couple but, seriously..... Merida should be in this. A Scotland world with bows and arrows has to happen.

I agree! I'm surprised that they don't have a play set for her in the works yet. Strange.

Finally got it and spent the whole afternoon playing with my two sons (13 and 7). Really enjoying it so far. Simple to control but the adventure mode puzzles are entertaining and the whole experience just works. Spinning for extra "toys" today I had four shots and was just PRAYING I got Haunted Mansion for my build toolbox. Ah well, there's always next time.

Just hoping future expansion packs include theme park sets - instead of pimping your IP, let us run around a park and have fun. I'll be first in line to buy the extra Epcot figures - I'll need a Duffy and Carl the Bartender.

Keep trying! I got Spaceship Earth yesterday after a few tries. The key is to save up your spins, find the collection with the item you want, and use a bunch at a time. It increases your chance of getting that particular item.

I've heard a few things about potential theme park exclusive releases. Keep your fingers crossed that this will happen!

I'm concerned that you might be having issues with your Wii or a damaged game. I have it on Wii and do not have any of these issues. All of the items from the vault are available in the Toy Box. Remember that there's multiple ways to play this game so explore the play sets as well. That's where a lot of the challenges and traditional game play can be found.

As far as the Infinity website, use your regular Disney log-in (aka My Disney Experience), and you should have no issues.

It's my understanding that all of the characters and accessories will work. I have not heard otherwise.

So how do you access the toy box? And are you able to play 2 players in the play set mode like Pirates or Monsters U? Just trying to narrow down the issue ( is it a damaged game or just me

Did you buy more characters to go with the 3 the starter pack came with? You have to keep in mind that you can only use the proper characters in the playset modes. So if you are trying to use a monsters character for multiplayer in the pirates play set it will not work.

No, we tried Mike and Sully in the Monsters U, it would only recognize the first player - I reached out to Disney Infinity be tweet, their replay was @DisneyInfinity: Wii version supports solo play in the Play Sets and 2 players in the Toy Box. Wii U, PS3, and Xbox 360 support 2 player for both.

It does not support 2 player on the playsets only I'm you box mode. To play with Mike and Sully you would have to take the playset globe off the pad or simply exit the world and go back to your toy box.

I feel sorry for anyone who bought it for the Wii. The Wii can not handle an open world game as complex as Disney infinity so the developers had to make some sacrifices. One of them way 2 player in the playsets.

Wish I had known that before I bought it

Does it not say anything about that on the box? I have the PS3 version because I couldn't imagine playing it with a nunchuck. Do you have another game system such as PS3 or Xbox360?

 

[*NikkiBell*]

Just saw that Wal-Mart has a Woody pre-order up. Supposedly he's exclusive to them, but I'm wondering if it's like what Game Stop is doing with Jack.

I'm also shocked at the difference in price for their play sets vs. TRU. I'm going to get the Cars one now and stop by TRU for more discs before the sale ends.

The controls on the Wii are not bad once you figure it out
There is nothing on the box about online play. The info I had seen prior did not really discuss the Wii version and they were touting the online aspect so I assumed there would be some

This is the best game Disney going to make so much money let hope so they don't give on it.
