What Families want from Skylanders Trap Team
Cordova, TN; June 8, in the year of our Lord 2014--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is chronicling what families want from
Skylanders Trap Team. This game will be appearing on the Xbox
360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Wii, Wii U, and
Nintendo 3DS on October 5th in North America, October 10th in
Europe. Will this franchise continue to dominate sales charts
for both toys, and video games? Will Toys for Bob listen to
families? Family Friendly Gaming is making sure your voice is
out there - giving these companies that opportunity.
Families have been very clear to us at Family Friendly Gaming on
what improvements, and changes they want in Skylanders Trap
Team. The first thing we hear is: “I don’t want to buy a new
portal every time.” So hopefully Skylanders Trap Team will not
require a new portal. The next thing we hear is: “get rid of
those evil, Satanic, demonic looking undead characters.”
Families do not like them, and refuse to purchase them. Maybe
Activision could add some Angelic characters to Skylanders. Then
we hear: “stop doing new versions of old characters, come up
with new characters.”
One of the things families tell us they love about Skylanders
right now is different characters in the home console and hand
held versions. They enjoy buying the hand held, and a home
console version to get different and unique characters. It would
be awesome if Activision grew that concept. Every home console
version should have different characters too. Or at least
between different companies. So maybe one character set for Wii
and Wii U. A different one for PS3, and PS4. A different one for
Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Finally a different one for the Nintendo
3DS version. That way when you go to a friends house who has a
different system, you have different characters. Could you
imagine the debate over which system had the best character set
included?
Families also tell us they want the prices to come down on
Skylanders instead of constantly climbing up. They want the
skill sets of older characters to be unlocked -from the
branching paths. Let us level up the path not taken. Continue to
add new skills for older Skylanders. Many families have their
favorite characters and like to keep playing them in the newer
games. More puzzle elements to solve, and less of the boring
hack and slashing game play. The ability to transfer gold from
one character to another one. Competitive multiplayer game play
- like parkour linear racing through levels.
