BETTER Spyro games in the future?

SpyroForever · Jan 25, 2008 11:20 PM

I personally don't like spyro's new look...

I hope in the future there will be better games and a better looking spyro... :-[

yea, me too. I think they should bring the old style back.

Ditto.

I really loved the Spyro 2 style

Same here...Well at least he kicks more *bleep* than in the old games.

Sazex · Jan 26, 2008 8:08 PM

Well Insomniac looking Spyro did look A LOT better then the new ones...

Actually, hes more weaker in the new games. In the newer games, he has to really smash and crash to kill his enemies. THe old spyro was so badass and touch that one of his changes or one of his Great flames could kill an enemy, ONLY ONE.

Well at least he had a completed look,and was a kid version.

the old spyro had a "completed look". Oh and just look at my avatar, does he look like an adult to you?

Whats the fun of killing something if all you need to do is attack them once?

ratchet · Jun 28, 2008 2:42 AM

you find killing something fun, OMG hes the new hitler! (Just kidding, lol)....hmmm, i guess the old spyro just didn't revolve around killing your enemies much, unlike other games.

Doppelgangergang · Jun 28, 2008 3:34 AM

That's because he is a reboot!

You know it may sound a bit silly but back then i never thought "Spyro just killed that enemy" i always imagined "man he just gave him some serious whoopin and he poofs away in shame" (yea the concept of actually killing in such games still seems odd to me)

Well on the topic i too prefered spyros old look, the new one seems a bit too "serious" and his smaller irises looks kinda kreepy in those big eyes... the old Spyro was a cartoon character, his eyes where pretty much "painted on" but this is not a critisicm, it fit the look of the games and the characters charm and besides beeing adorable he could get a serious look on his face too (i also loved the more cartoonish running noise or the "wheel feet" he got while on a speed up strip)... in fact it was just that, such a little cute dragon beeing a world saving hero... and also the little things that made it interesting like how spyro seemed to move his wings like a butterfly when idle

As a side point i dont like all the prophecy storylines much, they are rarely done well and often just feel cheap... i liked when spyro was just a hero by accident (beeing missed by gnastys spell because he was too small, happening to be in the gate while itÂ´s redirected to avalar...)

In my opinion the old formula didnt get old it just got doctored around with too much and eventually led in the wrong direction ultimtly ending in the reboot... and hey look today, while back then there was a "flood" of "kiddy 3D jump n runs" today the market is pretty much free again... iÂ´d say a "classic spryo" wouldnt do harm

PS: I dont know if it was just me having that error but did anyone else noticed spyros eyes where hovering a bit in front of his head in YOTD?

he didn't ask "why did his look change" he just said he preffered the old look

I noticed that as well. I also saw the small changes to the wings and Sparks oversize eyes from Spyro 1 to 2. It seems they don't take all the small details... but I notice them. That includes the scales, wing tips, spiked back, etc. Speaking of which, the wing tips could be put to good use in some way...*Starts to write notes*

DragonFireOKN · Jul 08, 2008 7:14 PM

I liked his older look too but as long as Universal owns the rights, they have no reason to change. I liked the (Hero's tail and Ripto's Rage look)

It's unlikely that they'll go back though...

spyromaster330 · Jul 10, 2008 8:34 AM

I dont mid the TLOS spyros look but i prefer his old look. I think its unlikely that they'll go back to the old look though.

JasonLovesKelsey · Aug 04, 2008 12:12 AM

Classic Spyro is infinitely better than LoS Spyro. But Universal seems bent on making their characters look like crap... Take Crash for example.

Tell me about it!

spyromaster330 · Aug 04, 2008 10:43 AM

I dont think crash looks that bad. but Tiny looks horrible *shudders*

Aura24 · Aug 04, 2008 3:51 PM

Spyro is suppose to look realistic in the new games, and I enjoy the TLoS storyline. Insomniac officially said they won't take Spyro back cause they ran out of ideas for him after YOTD. We all enjoyed the old Spyro, but it was back when we were young and when it was for the old PS1 era. There will be changes everywhere in the future, including in games and its characters. We all just have to get used to it.

Kazoobie64 · Aug 04, 2008 5:15 PM

And yet it's entirely possible for a new company to go back and look at what Insomniac did right, and make a next-gen game still fresh and new, but still feel like the same series. Though I understand why Sierra would make a completely new world with a protagonist that happens to be a purple dragon named "Spyro," but isn't even the same dragon, which is of course, to act like a cash cow. How come Mario has so many good games of different genres? How come Zelda is constantly tweaking its formula, but still feels the same and is a great game series? There are no excuses for everyone that's picked up Spyro to be screwing it up so much.

As for Spyro looking realistic in the new games... With those bulging cartoony eyes and that head, I really don't think so. wink

What? You want him having hovering eyebrows like he had in the old days? He was cartoonish back then in the PS1 era, now he suppose to look realistic like a real dragon in the new games without no hovering eyebrows.

Kazoobie64 · Aug 04, 2008 5:50 PM

Sure, I didn't mind the eyebrow-looking eye sockets, in fact I don't even mind cartoony-looking Spyro; it's exactly what I want. However, if you want to argue that the new Spyro is supposed to be realistic, I don't think anything realistic-looking has those big eyes with the tiny pupils and that big of a head. So in fact, even with the new ugly design to make him look more mature, he's still a cartoony dragon.

Aura24 · Aug 04, 2008 6:15 PM

So you like to live in the past along with the original trilogy? Just to play the three exact games over and over and over for the rest of your life? Is this what the old Spyro fans really want?

Kazoobie64 · Aug 04, 2008 6:22 PM

Uh, let me just quote myself.

And yet it's entirely possible for a new company to go back and look at what Insomniac did right, and make a next-gen game still fresh and new, but still feel like the same series.
