Nintendo controller copied Atari controller.
Super Mario Galaxy copied Sonic Xtreme.

Just joking

But aslong as it tries to be original. Then it shouldnt matter even if some have already done it. Aslong as they try to make it unique through their own idea.
For Example: Simpsons isnt even that good, yet still people love to have this silly war on which of the 3 main american cartoons they like. . Its like bitterness and trivia just bursts open. Silliness

But i wonder what the next spyro installment is. If it comes after Skylanders

Or bottled air, like from Lorax.

also, the physical impossibilities such as breathing in outer space mean nothing to me. Spyro's too good for the laws of physics

Well let's just say that the atmosphere stretches extremely far, and the pressure it relatively consistent throughout. Now let's also say that the components of the atmosphere are different higher up, so the light is scattered differently and space doesn't appear blue...

THIS WOULD STILL NOT HELP THE PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITIES OF INTERPLANETARY TRAVEL *breathes heavily*

Okay, so there's officially no way we can be consistent with the laws of physics and allow Spyro to go through space... but which do we prefer?

how so? and you're right, if i wanted reality, i would be focusing on reality! not playing video games.

I can't remember what were the details, but I knew I imagined that you would be able to fly into sun and that it would kill you... surprisingly

i've never played Super Mario Galaxy, so that didn't occur to me. actually, i don't know what the gameplay even looks like. i assume it's similar to this.

edit: and hey, they could still be fantasy worlds. i have more than enough ideas to cover that. they don't have to be real places in outer space.

You never played Super Mario Galaxy?!

But anyway... that's a very interesting image. You'd think with all the space cows, flying sheep saucers and different landscapes in a game like Spyro 3... Space levels would be an inevitability... But apparently not.

ever since i saw this image, i've had the idea of at least a level taking place in outer space. the closest i think Spyro's ever gotten in any game is a normal level, with a spacey sky, like the one shown above. or Breeze Harbor, or Midnight Mountain...

i'm imagining this being a great way to utilize the idea of free flight. all the different planets and galaxies to explore... you could throw portals in there to get to different parts of space faster, or something.. i'd imagine a scene where gravity comes into play (Jupiter, anyone?) would add an interesting storyline twist... is this sounding interesting to anyone?

also, the physical impossibilities such as breathing in outer space mean nothing to me. Spyro's too good for the laws of physics; look at his wings, how does he fly with them?
