Disney Infinity preview: bringing franchises together
Disney worlds are on a collision course in Disney Infinity. Much hullabaloo has already been made about its business model, which not only apes, but one-ups Activision's Skylanders. In addition to selling figurines for the Infinity base, Disney also plans on selling Play Sets (which determine what world players will jump into), and power discs as well (which manipulate environments, add set pieces, or offer character buffs).
Three play sets will be available at launch time--The Incredibles, Monsters University (the upcoming prequel to Monsters Inc.), and Pirates of Caribbean. Each will feature a distinctive play style, but all will have players working to complete stories in those respective worlds to unlock set pieces for the game's Toy Box mode. The sets also boast their own unique gameplay style, which can be played alone or with a friend for drop-in, drop-out co-op action.
