Disney Infinity Problems for PlayStation 3 Gamers

WDWNT on September 13, 2013

fb_meta_logoDisney Infinity launched yesterday on all major consoles allowing games to connect to a number of Disney universes and even create your own using the Toy Box Mode. Except, there was a problem. Gamers who bought Disney Infinity for the PlayStation 3 were greeted with a number of problems that prevented them from actually playing the game on launch date. The biggest problem came when Disney released a 1.01 patch for the game which locked up the network preventing users from connecting successfully to the game servers and even saving their data. The outcome for PS3 users was catastrophic. Users who would try to load up their saved data would encounter an error saying their data was corrupt. Trying to load Toy Box Mode would freeze the game up completely, at times crashing the console.

But there is a light at the end of the Infinite tunnel. Last Sunday night, Disney admitted to a problem with the 1.01 launch day patch that was released and recommended users delete the patch and play the game disconnected from any network. This would allow the game to run smoothly and have no more problems. The good news here is that the issue is not a hardware issue or even a game issue, but more a network issue with the patch overloading the servers.

This seems to be a quick workaround for PlayStation 3 gamers who want to play the game instantly without losing their data and crashing the game when entering Toy Box Mode. Disney is currently working on a permanent patch that will fix this problem. Disney Infinity launched Aug. 18 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

Disney Infinity Easter Egg Unlocked with Disney Magic Bands

WDWNT on September 13, 2013

If by now you haven’t noticed, Disney Infinity has been on my mind this week. The folks over at Zannaland decided to try something that no one has tried yet. They took one of the new Disney Magic Bands that are still be tested over at The Walt Disney World Resort and put it against the Disney Infinity Game Pad. The Magic Bands have built-in RFID so the Game Pad read it and unlocked an Easter Egg within the game.

The item unlocked was a Flying Fire breathing Dragon which can now be used in Toy Box Mode within the game. This is a really neat Easter Egg considering the story behind it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU623OZGWOc

So if you are one of the lucky few to have your wrists around a Disney Magic Band and you’ve bought Disney Infinity, give it a try. For the rest of us, I wonder if my new RFID enabled Walt Disney World Annual Pass will work…

Let us know in the comments if you find any other cool Easter Eggs within Disney Infinity.

Disney Releases ‘Sugar Rush’ Game on New Leap Motion Platform

WDWNT on August 7, 2013

SugarRush4Disney Interactive has launched the game Sugar Rush, which is based on the movie Wreck-It Ralph, on the new Leap Motion platform.

Leap Motion is a new technology which allows users to interact with their computer in a real and natural way without a mouse or keyboard.

The way Leap Motion works is with the use of a small 3” controller that connects to your computer (Mac/Windows) using USB. Once connected, you wave your hands around the area above the controller and it will be detected on your computer allowing you to do practically anything. The controller senses how you move your hands the way you naturally move them. So you can just point, wave, reach, and grab. Leap Motion will recognize all these gestures instantly without having to learn any new gestures.

Cool, huh? Well, Disney thought so and released their very first game for the platform based on the movie Wreck-It Ralph. Sugar Rush allows players to create your own “sugar-filled” candy kart and race through 4 challenging speedways. Similar to Mario Kart, you’ll have “objects” that can be used against your challengers like sweet seekers, cherry bombs, and sticky slicks.

Leap Motion is available for purchase now for just $79.99 and Sugar Rush is available through the Airspace Store for just $1.99.

VIDEO: Hands-On with the Upcoming Disney Infinity Video Game

WDWNT on July 17, 2013

While at Car Masters Weekend last week, I was lucky enough to be amongst the first to get a hands-on demo of the highly anticipated Disney Infinity video game that will be coming out in August. If you haven’t heard about the game at this point, you have probably been living under a rock.

Screen Shot 2013-06-22 at 6.32.24 PM

Here’s a video of the few minutes of playtime I got while attending the event:

Honestly, the amount of time I got to play Disney Infinity was not enough to form a real opinion of the game. There’s just so much more to it and all I really did was play through the introductory Cars mission. What I can say is that the figures for the game are wonderfully produced and look really great, the voice acting in the game is spot-on, and the one mission I played was enjoyable enough that I would like to play some more. Hopefully we will get to see a little more of the game before it is released in a few weeks.

Oh yeah… we did get a free figure for going to the demo which was pretty cool!

So, what do you think of Disney Infinity so far?

Disney fans can now wake up and start every beautiful morning with their favorite furious fowl Donald Duck using Wake Up with Disney. People can turn an alarm clock into an interactive activity with 3D Disney characters, starring the popular Donald Duck at launch with more characters to come.

I hate the mornings and I am always open to testing out a new app that can help me wake up a little quicker! I must say I love this app; I got a huge kick out of waking up to a screaming Donald. With an integrated 5-Day weather forecast, flashlight, and nightlight this app really is more than just a wake up call from Donald! I encourage you to explore the app and discover its hidden gems like the sleep feature!
