Toy Story 3 Returns For Modern Consoles In Toy Story 3 Complete Edition
Toy Story 3 Complete Edition brings the definitive version of the game inspired by the Academy Award-winning film to modern platforms for the first time featuring previously platform-exclusive content from the PlayStation 3 version and an enhanced experience with upgraded visuals, higher resolutions and improved performance. Toy Story 3 is best known for its groundbreaking Toy Box Mode, a massive, open-world sandbox that allowed customization of the environment and characters and featured non-linear missions that allow players to unlock new toys, vehicles and characters from other Pixar movies. Key features include:
• Relive the adventure in Story Mode: Journey through locations, from Andy’s Room to Sunnyside Daycare, as Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie embark on an action-packed adventure.
• Dynamic gameplay with co-op and character swapping: Switch characters on the fly to use each character’s unique abilities to overcome challenges. Team up with a friend in a local co-op.
• Explore, create, and play in Toy Box Mode: Step into a vibrant Wild West town inspired by Woody’s Roundup. Take on missions, unlock new content, and complete rewarding missions.
• Fun for all ages: Accessible controls, light platforming and open-ended gameplay provide a creative, low-pressure experience for new players, while still offering depth and charm for longtime fans.
• Enhancements: Up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second on supported platforms.
“We’re excited for players to jump back into Toy Story 3 and experience the creativity, humor and heart that makes Toy Story such a landmark franchise. Toy Story 3 is celebrated as one of the great movie-to-game adaptations ever made, and it has been an absolute pleasure to rediscover,” said Digital Eclipse's Mike Mika.
