Looks like original Spyro (Note the vertical horns, non-crocidle snouted nose and not dull colours)

This has turned into a major spam-fest. (Also it was never confirmed that the fighting was over. :-P ) Back on topic. I just bought TEN yesterday. I must admit, it is a HHUUUGGGEEE!!! improvement over ANB. The level designs are better and the bosses are great. However I will still always be mad at the fact that old Spyro is gone. <_<

TheManiacOnWheels · Jun 14, 2008 7:35 AM

You serious, Juice Box? You found an IMPROVEMENT in T.L.o.S? big_smile .
I never thought I'd see the day wink .
Just kidding...anyways...BOT...Are we still fighting?

Doppelgangergang · Jun 14, 2008 1:02 PM

I hope not. I'm trying to make peace with everybody! smile

sad But I was having fun. And this is a discussion thread. Not a "Let's all be friends and hold hands while singing" thread. It's purpose is for arguments. And besides one of the most fun things to do around here is argue about this topic.

Doppelgangergang · Jun 14, 2008 1:16 PM

Why? Are we going to keep on pestering each other? FIGHTING each other?

I know that the "TLoS Basher Basher" fit was wrong, so I removed it from my signature rotation.

Juice box · Jun 14, 2008 1:23 PM

Not fighting each other, but fighting for our opinions...or something along those lines. (Also, I just realised that you're now a mod! Congratz! Unless you already were a mod, then I am just ignorant. Hehehe.)

Cyndersparx · Jun 14, 2008 1:26 PM

So.....The arguing continues...
...
hmm
hmm
:-P
I'm out. See ya.

Cyndersparx · Jun 14, 2008 2:01 PM

Come on out, you bunches of....

Sorry, blacked out there for a second.

Yeah, i agree TEN was alot better than ANB, but parts still made me feel like TEN was a pain in the *bleep*. But Juice box is right, this topic makes my day, lets not stop arguing! smile

Doppel: As i've said, theres a difference between an argument and a flame war, we are not fighting each other, but fighting each other's opinions. In the long run, theres no point except:
1.Debating improves volcabulary and charisma
2.Who knows, maybe a developer will view this topic? Chris wilson seems to know that theres a big argument between us!
3.Its fun!
4.It improves our friendship (Tests show that even Parents screaming at their teenage girls about things is good)

Doppelgangergang · Jun 14, 2008 2:26 PM

Okay... Let's keep on going. However according to the rules, if uber-critical insults (like "your mother" or something) start flying I'll drop the bomb and lock this personally. wink

In short: let's have a clean argument! :-P

DragonFireOKN · Jun 14, 2008 2:28 PM

How about this:
Facts- Isomniac isn't coming back in the near future and likely never. (Too busy developing Resistance: Fall of Man 2 for PS3. After that, more 1st person shooters)
A true fan will follow Spyro wherever he goes, even if they they don't think it's as good as the old series.
LOS and the original trilogy cannot be compared. They are too different. (Platformer, Combat)
Opinions-

Some people like the old Spyro.
Some people like the new Spyro.

A true fan wouldn't complain about a series because Spyro looks different and the game is different. If Mario was still about jumping over Goomba's and saving the princess, it would have died out years ago. If Spyro kept collecting gems, he would have died out years ago. Games must evolve to survive. It used to be all platformers and screen scrollers. Now it's combat and First-Person shooters. If Spyro is to survive, he must evolve.

I happen to agree with this.

Also, some people like both. smile

AS I'VE SAID theres a difference between a flame war and an argument.
"your mother" is a flame war, thats what i DONT want
"Original Spyro sucked because" is an Argument (even if you say something liked sucked)

1.Tell me one post when i said that i think insomniac will come back, or even origijnal Spyro will come back. I've accepted that he will most defiently wont.... and i know that Insomniac wont come back!
2.The thing is, A game not being as good as it should of been is only half the argument, the other half is that fact that if a game reboots and changes, it doesn't really feel at all like it was before.

Mario has evolved, but has stayed generally the same. But in response to your thing about goombas and the princess....well..... Spyro's first REAL game was SMB1 which came out in 1985, he jumped over goombas and saved the princess, the game SM64 came out in 1996, 11 years later and what? Mario was jumping over goombas and saving the princess? yet people reguard that game as one of the greatest games. OK!, i know, the game was practically supposed to be a remake of SMB1 but in 3D but still, games CAN evolve but still keep their sole purpose. Mario has stayed a Fun, happy, mushroom, bright star platformer series and people love it.
Justy on a side note, New Super mario brothers, a game released in 2006 has mario jumping over goombas and saving the princess! >_<

Infact, i would love Spyro top have spinoff games, but games like TLOS which just stop and remove the old series in its tracks arn't cool!
What they could of done to change the old series:
1.Add in some spinoff games
2.Bigger games (more play time, but not boring play time like AHT)
3.Time trials
4.Co-op
5.Online Play
6.Customization
7.Multiplayer
8.Replay value
9.Lots of variety
10.Choose the difficulty
...and the list goes on.

The makers of ETD and AHT didn't know how to improve Spyro, they obviously didn't deserve to develop him.

Who said platformers arn't in these days? its just that alot of developers are making FPSers for some reason. I bet theres a huge demand on platformers these days, and you can tell by the sales of games like R&C:TOD, New Super mario Brothers and SMG.
