i'm going to take a quasi-psychic guess and say it's going to be kind of like a 3D version of a Megman game: a fair bit of moving around obviously, but there's a common target area to reach (aka "the end of the level"), also comparable to how TLOS worked. in that department. and there's also more action.

anyone here ever played Megaman X7? i'm imagining this game being a bit like the level for.. i don't know, the annoying water guy, except the water guy has turned from a water guy into Kaos. or, rather, that one guy from Immortal.

I'm loving these new characters, but... exactly how combat oriented is this game going to be? Obviously the trailer focused on fighting because it's more interesting to watch, but what's the ratio of combat to platforming? These definitely aren't one-hit-kill enemies like in Classic Spyro, but it didn't look as combat heavy as Legend. Somewhere in between, I guess?

Fireslinger reminds me of a warcraft demon hunter.

Flameslinger looks really cool. I wonder if that's Stealth Elf's same race.

Since this forum has a stupid way of verifying accounts (through phone, wtf??? + it won't accept my mobile number...), I can't post direct links to the videos, but here are some new character trailers:

(remove the spaces)

Spyro and Zap are the only two characters that interest me so far.

This is just a random thought, but maybe it would be cool if you could name your characters. For example, the first time you use, say, Gill Grunt, a screen comes up asking for a name, indicating Gill Grunt is the species and whatever name you use is the character. That'd probably be too problematic, but it's an idea...

But Spyro never talked during gameplay before, it was only in the cutscenes and side dialogs that we hear his voice. The only chance that Spyro doesn't have a voice is if they decided to make it like Naughty Dog made Jak in Jak and Daxter: No voice, but grunts and action sounds.
Until we see a convincing cutscene from this game, we wont know. And since this game has a "you must save the characters" kind of play to it, it'll be interesting if there is any significant cutscene at all...
But I'm just speculating. The trailers look great. A+ for music.

What about in EtD when Spyro screams "ouch!" when you hit a wall or somethin? ._.

It's like Jak grunting, and any other interjection.

You could pass Skylander's Spyro saying, "Wha-?" in the trailer as the same thing.

Could be the characters themselves have real names and for only story reasons later on, Stealth elf she might need a better name

i wonder if it's something to do with the fact that the word "Adventure" is in the title.

that really has the potential to make this kind of search really annoying/confusing to figure out.

I think the Adventure packs contain new levels.

I'm a little confused on how many different versions will be sold. At first, we were rumoring a Starter Pack, and an Adventure Pack. On amazon, the pre-sales are being advertised as "Adventure Starter Pack".

This game has already surpassed my expectations.

I don't care at all for the toy gimmick (I'd prefer characters as paid DLC rather than toys, unlockable from the game's menu), but c'mon. You can't tell me that the game looks bad.
