Re: Character Trailers!

Finally, voice acting! I love it! I don't know why anyone would complain about this game, it's already kicking Legend of Spyro's butt from where I'm standing!

Re: Character Trailers!

Spyro collects rings now?  What has he become? Sonic?


Yo, Spyro
I'm really happy for you, but Jazz Jackrabbit is one of the best platformers of all time.

Re: Character Trailers!

I am disappointed that they made Spyro grunt instead of talk...

But the music is amazing and the abilities look really cool!

May have to buy all the toys...

Re: Character Trailers!

Spyro definitely sounded like he will talk in this game though. The only vocals we hear of him so far is when he enters the game.

Re: Character Trailers!

He won’t, none of the other characters do and at the beginning of the trailer he just grunts and spews out gibberish.

Re: Character Trailers!

The trailers look great! Although, I don't exactly see an HUD which shows your health and treasure count. Maybe they'll add that later?


I'm a secret duck who lives in the glitchy but nice Honey Marshes. My day to day job is to spy on the blue guys so they won't get up to much mischief.

Re: Character Trailers!

Maybe it's a Pokedex-like mechanic, and you get points just by hosting a friend's game.

Re: Character Trailers!

of course the music's great, they're using it in a trailer to get the word out about something. i liked it too, but we don't know it'll be used in the game, so i purposely turned it off while watching them, since it's most likely put in to sensationalize the action. kind of like how they used "Thunderstruck" in the original Commercial Whatever Thing they released - is the trailer still as exciting without the theater music?

i feel like i needed to point that out.
now, as for the content itself, it looks like it would be more entertaining to its target age group. (SpyroForum says: "duh.") but something i can't really explain* just gives me the feeling this is going to be... okay, but still kind of over-the-top with the "kiddie" influence, like, even more than the original Spyros were. meaning, i can't really imagine too many older fans liking this.

* remember this when you question my post.

oh yeah, but i still loathe Trigger Happy.

Re: Character Trailers!

I don't know about any of you, but I think I would would be able to take the characters a lot more seriously if they weren't named things like "Trigger Happy" and "Stealth Elf." Is it so hard to come up with actual names? Or are these species names or what?

The gameplay looks fine and actually kind of fun, but still, not going to be spending that much money on what looks to be a generic platformer.

Re: Character Trailers!

Spyro, Trigger Happy, and Gill Grunt are also the toys that will be in the Starter Pack of Skylanders; they possibly made these trailers to symbolize that.

Re: Character Trailers!

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.

Re: Character Trailers!

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".

I think the Adventure packs contain new levels.

Re: Character Trailers!

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.

Re: Character Trailers!

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