Besides, I'm still concerned about Spyro's foundation here... AHT did leave a good foundation that can be implemented on and enhanced.... but its local, if you will, is still in question.

One last thing that urked about TLOS was the breathes... I still can't get over the fact that I have to collect Green Gems in order to use my breathes... <_< they should auto regenerate and should also be used to gauge how much power you are putting into that breath (hold the button down and charge it up for a big blast if you will)... but I digress, I feel like I'm just rambling on here :-|

Anyway what I meant by the health bar or simply hitting them is: do you think they'll keep the button smashing or will we simply have to hit them once or twice before they go poof... That's what I meant by Health bars or simply just by hits. In TLOS you hat to keep hitting them until they go down, in the Classics and in ETD and AHT you only had to hit them once or twice (Gnorcs with armor etc). It worked well in classics, I mean remeber Huanted Towers with those suits of armor that can only be taken out with SuperFalme? Stuff like that is what I mean by keeping it simple, yet still challenging.

Well, the only enemies that have the health bar are the bosses and mini-bosses in both the Old and the New Spyro games.

Wait didn't all the enemies in ANB and TEN have health bars?
.....Attack frogs ugh i hated those and also the armored turtles that spit at you in ugh forgot the name of the level.
I wonder what type of gameplay this new game will have well guess we'll find out in spring or so when they announce it.

Anyway, yeah, one hit kills does get a little boring, but it was simple enough to not make it too easy, easy yes, but not too easy... I don't mind enemies taken more the one hit but I don't like how the combat was handled in TLOS... I don't mind being surrounded by enemies, is just that it felt more like a chore then actually fun to me. Constantly fighting, and yes that is a bit of exaggeration, enemies got boring for me fast.

Now if enemies can go down in like 2 - 5 hits then ok... but do you guys think that will make it too simple again or will add just the right balance.

In other words do you think enemies should have the health bar a certain amount of hits before they go poof?

I think TLOS was just an experiment. And I want to keep it that way. Most TLOS fans want to see a continuation why? Spyro and Cynder have kids? More Complexitiers around characters. Most TLOS fans want a soap opera, and that is the problem, that cant happen. As for storyline, you really have to change the whole thing. Malefor was supposed to be the most evil and powerful villian, who can beat that? They really need to find a completely different type of story if they want to make it any good. A Prequel would be nice and id hate to say it but.....MMO?

An experiment that went horribly wrong!! (nuke) ::D

But yeah, it looks like a fresh new slate huh? But like I also said, as much as Like TLOS characters, I can see them being thrown away  by a snap of a finger... Plus that also means a Reboot... ugh, I hate reboots <_< ...

But, an MMO? Hmmm, I dunno, maybe... but that prequle stuff sounds like it might do good for the movie, if its going to come out or not <_<.

Hmm...another spyro game being hinted at and a Spyro movie confirmed, anyone else think this is gonna end horribly?

Knowing that the movie is based off a video game trilogy and we have no idea who's making the "applied new game"... I can optimistically and confidently say that Spyro can't get much worse <_< .

Hmm, a simple composer change isn't going to get me all ruffled and worried... I just want to know what they are going to do with Spyro... Continue from TLOS, Start Fresh, or Bring back more gameplay mechanics from the orginals or do a mix something... As for music... I can care less... but I can see on how that will play effect on the direction of the new game...
