Skylanders can do what Call of Duty can't.

Skylanders: Swap Force will render natively at 1080p on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Activision has confirmed.

The announcement comes ahead of this week's next-gen launch of Swap Force, which releases on PS4 and Xbox One this Friday, November 15.

The resolution will please some players worried about the performance of multi-platform titles on Xbox One. Microsoft has faced criticism in recent weeks over Xbox One's performance, with multiple first and third-party titles outputting at native 720p on the console.

Forza Motorsport 5, Kinect Sports Rivals, FIFA 14, NBA 2K14 and EA Sports UFC are the only other retail titles confirmed to render at native 1080p on Xbox One.

Skylanders: Swap Force is the third game in the Skylanders series and introduces a new series of figures whose tops and bottoms can be switched to create all new characters.
 
Man that's a weight off my shoulders, the only thing my son cared about for Swap Force was whether the game was 1080p or not...

I hate to say this but after Disney Infinity I haven't seen sh*t, pretty much failed.

They just released new sets, the game itself is awesome and IMO much better than Skylanders in terms of games that require you to buy figures. I suspect it will be ported to next gen as well given what the dev's have said about how the game will progress in the future.
 
Disney actually announced that they sold over a million start packs. Not Skylander success and maybe it should have done better since it had the Disney brand behind it, but it's probably made a pretty dime. As for newgen version, I haven't heard a peep. If they made one, it'd be a sequel most likely.

From what I had read from them they weren't going to put out sequels in the traditional sense like Skylanders has, just update the main game and put out new packs, or something on that line

Yeah it's very different than Skylanders, it's a lot more involved, especially Toy Box mode. That said its a lot better than Skylanders, more to do and a pretty robust world editor. I just wish they were a little more clear with how the figure packs work. There are the straight up figures and then there are "world" packs. Figure packs are just that, guys to use in the game. The "world" packs come with a figure but also a "relic(?)" that when placed on the infinity base unlocks new game worlds.
 
hope they port it, i would just like some confirmation soon, hopefully they say something because i have seen it on sale a few times for the 360 and keep passing on it, its on sale for under $50 on black friday but id rather wait if its coming to next gen

You can always buy it and return it if next gen version comes out.
 
that is a possibility my friend, just need to resist the urge to open it

If you do get it, and open it :) just know that to play co-op in any game world except Toy Box you have to have two characters from that world. i.e. Monsters University, you'd need Mike and Sulley. You can't mix characters outside of Toy Box, such as you can't have Woody and Mater in the Cars world. It makes sense when you play, but is also a cheap way of getting you to buy more characters and its not clearly stated on the packaging.
 
I have the 360 version and will buy the next gen version too if it ever comes out. Having 2 copies will greatly reduce the amount of fighting between my kids when they play lol

thanks for the heads up, i really hope they do a nightmare before xmas playset, i would buy this game in a second and play it alone if they do that :)
 
I believe they have a Jack Skellington character, though no play set :(
True, and true, it's only playable in toy box right now. They put out a Toy Story set with Buzz and the girl, woody is sold separately. There is also two princesses as well in a pack but I think thats toy box only as well. I heard there is a Wreck It Ralph playset coming too.

Yeah I think Woody comes with the play set, I think Jessie and Buzz are with someone else. My son is looking forward to the Wreck it Ralph play set, I believe it comes out at the end of the month. I've only seen the movie about 30 times now...

I purchased the Toy Story playset, it's Jessie and Buzz in the box with Woody as a single figure. Also picked up the Lone Ranger playset, and the Cars playset with Mater and the Italian guy along with it...if Wreck it ralph comes out before xmas then crap lol it's already an expensive year. Gonna be in real trouble if they come out with marvel or star wars stuff

The toy story set any good? We got the Cars set a bit ago and were thinking of getting the TS set. According to Disney the Wreck it Ralph set comes out the 24th of Nov, definitely will be getting that. That would be awesome if they came out with some Marvel/Star Wars sets...

No idea, it's put away as xmas presents :p

I had read that ralph was coming as a toy box only character, along with venelope in a girls only pack. I hope they come out with a playset for that.. and phineas and ferb too.

We were going to get the TS pack for Christmas too. Yeah my bad, Wreck it Ralph characters are only Toy Box mode, read it wrong. I'd hoped they'd do a game world pack for Phineas and Ferb too, that's one of my sons favorite cartoons, but as of now those ate only TB mode too :(

I am hoping that eventually with the toy box only characters they make more characters and introduce a playset piece at a later date.
