Nope, the first three were just fun and pleasant. No reason to go mature.

(Unless it's a game showing the backstory of Rosco from Misty Bog.. because that has Vietnam written all over it.)

Sure, just as long it's not gonna be like Grand Theft Auto.

I think perhaps a little blood and swearing wouldn't hurt, but taking it too far would probably suck. I vote for T/13+/equivalentratingfromwhateverothercountry.

God, no. I think we had enough of Spyro being "mature" with the Legend series. It didn't work and trying to push the franchise further in that direction would be a huge mistake on the developers' part. If you want a mature dragon game, play Drakengard or something like it.

i think he series could have some blood or at least a small bit of battle damage. you know wing holes or scars but nothing so you can't say "hey look its Spyro". or "Hey look it's Cynder".
I'm a Mass Effect Fan and the more scars Commander Shepard has the more you say "who the heck is that?".

"dam" could also mean Amsterdam, like in the beer commercial. I'v heard worse puns in Mythbusters. (the narrator said "Holy sheet" when it helped to get past an ultrasonic alarm system.)

nope, he didn't swear.

he said "let's blow this DAM thing up".

DAM means, well, a dam. it's a play on words like riverhippo said. it's only a swear with the N at the end.

classic Spyro was for kids, despite having that element for older players - any change in that rating and it wouldn't have been the Spyro I love
TLoS is a different thing~ I think it features much darker elements than original Spyro... though I wonder if I could ever get my head around Spyro being full on mature and bloody... I don't think I could ever see it being a sexual game at all, it would be a little weird to hear him swear too, but definitely not as weird as it being sexual
I don't mean too bloody (no decapitations or anything like that), just say a character gets injured; it will make it more realistic.
agreed, I'd like that too
didn't sparx swear in the TLOS: Dawn of The Dragon at the dams when they had to put that guy out by breaking it up? it sounds so alike?

It was a play on words. And even if the subtitles added the qualifying "n" in the word, it still wouldn't have changed the ESRB rating--I think.

I think that a game more along the lines of TLoS should have more graphic fight scenes and moves. And there needs to be more bosses with grusome endings when defeated. And more things showing the damage you've done to the enemy. And just more graphics to combat. Simple and oh so fun.

totally dude! it should be like God Of War I-III and have tons of gruesom scenes but i am not gonna play it since im still sensitive to dragons so you can call me indecisive but i dont like kid games and i suck s to have some treat you like you're freaking seven or something and it should just grow up, which they did and i am happy. i notice they made a little slip with sparx saying dam instead of well this is a 10 and up forum so i am not gonna go there and i belive we should stretch it a little more cause it felt short playing the game and i want a huge variety of "baddies" and be able to play dark spyro whanever the heck i freaking feel like it (yeah, what you gonna do now little monkey, run away?) and i want some scenes that can show us how these "purple dragon" eggs came to be. (how did spyro reely came into the w-o-r-l-d!)

:!: i am controversial and debative but if i must behave then i will. i am a teen and i wont stand up for children, and its our time now! :!:

what i'm interpreting from this is basically TLOS but with a less predictable storyline.

Right. Just because a cool Spyro game calls for a more mature edge, doesn't mean it has to be profane and violent. It would simply not be geared towards children and preteens.
