I'm Very sure....

THat Krome Only PLayed AHT and Shadow Legacy before making TLOS.

Things they got From AHT: Sparx can talk, Breaths are Square, headbash is Circle,  Jumping pattern is very similar, Hunter is a bowman (THe only other times Hunter was a boman was manuals and covers), Gems scatter similar.

Shadow legacy: Dark themed, Combo moves are taken right from Shadow legacy.

Re: I'm Very sure....

They didn't have to play it. Sierra could of told them the things from both games.

Re: I'm Very sure....

Krome probably just found those elements to their liking, and used them for The Legend of Spyro...

Re: I'm Very sure....

Normally developers are told to play other games in the seriesbefore making their games.
Cynder Fan: i dont agree, if they only played the originals, dont you think there will be some changes?

Re: I'm Very sure....

Whatever games in the series that they've played (and who knows, maybe they did only play AHT and Shadow Legacy before making ANB), they obviously liked those particular elements.  There's nothing wrong with personal preference...  I've come to like those game elements myself.

Re: I'm Very sure....

Krome should have played more spyro games before creating TLOS or used elements from those games.

Re: I'm Very sure....

WEll, they used the same buttons and the jumping was very Similar to AHT. Combat was very similar to Shadow legacy. If they didn't like the old ones, they shouldn't of made a spyro game.

Re: I'm Very sure....

another reason for this is when the advertised the game they said "first time ever flying levels". THe Sgt byrd minigames in AHT were considered as minigames. But the flying levels in the older spyros were considered flying levels.
Which means they never played the old games to find this out

Re: I'm Very sure....

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

Control And Jump patterns- they're the exact same buttons and the jump looks very similar.

Hunter the bowman- he was, except in only ONE MINIGAME, i dont think if Krome played that they'd get the full idea he was a bowman. He NEVER carries that thing around like robin hood (until AHT)

SL combos-They had to get the idea from this, full stop

Re: I'm Very sure....

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.

Re: I'm Very sure....

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)

Re: I'm Very sure....

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...

Re: I'm Very sure....

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.
