Re: Petition against Spyro redesign.

Though I doubt this petition will be successful, I support.

Re: Petition against Spyro redesign.

Skylanders will be released anyways and it's almost nearly finished. Petitions won't stop the game being made all because of a few fans don't like the game all because of Spyro's design...

Re: Petition against Spyro redesign.

IDK, some people seem to treat this like the democratic primary.  It's just a game.

Re: Petition against Spyro redesign.

That and the game is still in beta, meaning, character design is not final! It happened many times before, look at Halo. It was originally supposed to be a third person shooter and the armor looked WAY different.

And added fact that sometimes even though a design may look finalized, they change it.

Re: Petition against Spyro redesign.

I think it's worth pointing out that Skylanders Spyro isn't trying to resemble Classic or Legend Spyro. It's clearly meant to be its own unique series based on classic Spyro in the same way Megaman Battle Network is based on classic Megaman. So saying it's ugly because it looks different should really be off the table.

That being said, Spyro's appearance and how ugly it may be is purely a matter of opinion. Obviously if the developers thought it was ugly they wouldn't have used it. And I don't think it's ugly, either, so that's at least 2 people.

Remember, Skylanders is a brand new "Spyro" series, so it probably doesn't want to appeal to old fans outside of shout-outs like the sheep and Spyro's controls and backstory. It's meant to establish new fans, namely little kids (primarily boys, I'm guessing) who are probably sick of having cutesy main characters shoved in their face all the time. Heck, classic Spyro appealed to that, too, what with Spyro being all "I'm gonna kick Gnasty Gnorc's butt!" and having Gnorcs moon you if you flamed their tents.

Of course there's nothing wrong with thinking Spyro is ugly, but unless the developers want to pull all those Spyro toys out of production to manufacture new ones, it's probably too late to change. And regardless, petitions don't do ****.

Re: Petition against Spyro redesign.

I think it's fair to say that nobody will like this piece of *bleep* game.

Re: Petition against Spyro redesign.

Ok, let me try to even things out by this statement:

Activision is doing the job 100 times better than any of us could.



And if anyone says, "No I could.  I made a game before," then this thread will be nullified.

It's fine for someone to have an opinion.  But the greatest ignorance is to reject something you don't know enough about.

Re: Petition against Spyro redesign.

They should do that with Spyro. You know, a Classic/Legend/Skylanders crossover. It'd be fun.
