6 views - published on June 10th, 2013 in Disney News tagged Disney, disney news, disneyland, walt disney, walt disney worldIGN was invited to attend Disney Interactive’s pre-E3 hide look eventuality Sunday featuring a corner muster for Monsters University, The Lone Ranger and (primarily) Avalanche Software’s arriving Disney Infinity.
Held in The Regal Cinemas during LA Live, a display began with an overview of a films themselves, including introductions from Pixar’s story administrator Kelsey Mann and Walt Disney Studios’ boss of prolongation Sean Bailey. First, we got a preview of Monsters University — a same 40 mins we were shown during Pixar’s Monsters U press event in April. Next, we screened a shave from The Lone Ranger — a film’s opening sight sequence, that we also held a glimpse of during CinemaCon.
Following that, Avalanche VP and ubiquitous manager John Blackburn dull out a eventuality with all-new demonstrations of Disney Infinity‘s Monsters U and Lone Ranger play sets, a latter of that was usually usually announced final week.
As Blackburn explained, any play set focuses on opposite aspects of gameplay. The Monsters University play set, for instance, immerses we in a universe of MU, permitting we to try a film’s abounding and expanded campus. This debate is mostly separate between dual categorical activities: scaring and pranking. The scaring, as we competence expect, puts we in a boots (paws?) of Mike and Sulley as they use and sight their approach by a university’s scaring program, radically completing a array of tests and exercises. Meanwhile, we can rivet in pranking MU’s opposition propagandize Fear Tech, utilizing a array of stealth-based mini-games like TP-ing a rivalry campus and capturing their school’s mascot Archie a Scare Pig.
As for The Lone Ranger play set, Blackburn pronounced it comes down to a western genre’s bread and butter: trains and horses. Here we play as Lone Ranger and Tonto as they float by city and push with a internal gangs, led by a sinister Butch Cavendish.
It’s engaging to note that, distinct MU’s campaign, The Lone Ranger’s has utterly a opposite tinge from that of a (PG-13) film counterpart. Aside from a apparent charcterised style, a diversion tones down a assault by replacing guns with orange-capped fondle pistols and including adorned visible effects instead of bloodshed. Overall, The Lone Ranger play set looks reduction like a underline tie-in and some-more like a sweeping “cowboys and indians” debate — that isn’t indispensably a bad thing. In fact, if anything, this usually helps say Infinity’s cohesive presentation.
In terms of destiny play sets, there was no discuss of any Star Wars or Marvel entries during launch, though if a game’s Lone Ranger play set is any indication, Avalanche is expected able of pulling from usually about any Disney authorization and creation it work.
Disney Infinity Could Add Star Wars, Marvel Characters
