The main antagonist in Shadow Legacy was a purple dragon simply known as 'The Sorcerer'. Weird, Malefor is a purple dragon who was known in the first (and second, I suppose) games of The Legend of Spyro as 'The Dark Master'. Maybe if the Shadow Legacy storyline had been continued (it was left on a cliffhanger with 'The Sorcerer is defeated but still alive' - like in The Legend of Spyro!) we would have found out his name. Also, both use Dark Gems, and both controlled a dragon (The Sorcerer controlled Red, The Dark Master controlled Cynder).

I personally think that SL - and AHT, I suppose - was some sort of a tribute to TLoS as they're so similar. In SL, Elder Thomas took the role of the leader of the Order of Dragon Elders, like Ignitus. From him and the other elders he learnt combat moves as well as ice breath (and he had multiple breaths in AHT). I suppose you could link the Manwersmalls and The Professor in AHT/SL, but in the Gateway to Glimmer guide The Professor was said to be a mole.

Also, in SL you see Hunter's family! There's a female adult cheetah, a male adult cheetah, a female child cheetah, and his father, who happens to be a king. DotD reference or what? You see The Prof.'s sister, too.

I was wondering if the Atlawas were a reference to Elora, but...

They got the name "Cynder" from Spyro ETD. There was a dragonfly called Cinder in the Dragonfly Dojo.

Sparx can talk- If they only played the originals, they wouldn't of got the idea of him talking

Actually no. It's actually kind of an obvious move, to make Sparx able to talk? it's not like it takes any incredible brainpower to come up with a different interpretation of the same character. Writers and game designers do it all the time: putting new twists on things comes qwith the territory.

Methinks this topic is grasping at straws, somewhat. Though I guess they probably kept the bits of the old games that they thought would stil lwork well.

Sure they played the old games before making TLoS: that's exactly what fanfic writers do before they write fanfiction, right? It'd be kinda silly to design a game for a well known character entirely from scratch without even bothering to rememebr at least something about what made the original games popular.

Was that an answer to me?
Well, anyway, i meant more of the kind of arguments that make people angry and leave...that kinda happened on another forum recently and it was NOT fun.
If you meant just normal debates, then hell yeah i love em'!
Heheheh, i can be pretty *bleep* evil sometimes...unless i'm depressed.

You dont like to share your opinion or share your opinion on others opinions? Thats too bad.
WEll yeah, there is a chance that Krome did play the original Spyros, but it looks like Krome leaned there ideas towards AHT and SL, if they played the originals they might have added portals, powerup gates, the control scheme would have been different, and other things. It doesn'tt really matter if they only played those games, but i am just sharing my thoughts.

I think this is a bump...meh.

I hate arguments.

yeah, Darkmasters only from TLOS.
Well, i dont know why i made this topic but well...
Krome should have researched the popularity of the older games and enhanced some of the greatness in their game. They wanted to try something new? well they should have made their own character...

Sparx wasn't useless, he was a hgealth meter, he helps spyro fight gems, he looks after the Speedway levels, he is a playable character. Sparx didn't need a voice, what was wrong with the subtitles we get in the originals and AHT. (im not saying that reguarding TLOS because i know the story is strictly professianal and i support that)

About Sparx talking - Ok, giving him a voice is pretty much a necessity. If he didn't get a voice, he would be even more useless than he already is. The voice is pretty much "humor" and entertainment. It's also just another open spot to fill in a big name.
