Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

Right. Well whatever your idea is....unless they think of it themselves and think it holds some investment....all it is is an idea.

If they do go back to the old series...I don't think they need to find someway to connect it with the LoS series....I just don't see the point to it. Unless it was perfectly done....which would be something to see...something that would unite all the fans per say....that I wouldn't mind seeing.

Just ideas though....we can only wonder where they will go in the future.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

I don't really like the idea but you seem to be confused as to how it could happen so I told you. It doesn't just have to be a rebirth of Spyro himself either, the whole world could be reborn as Ignitus mentioned The Destroyer doing.

Either way that would be a Zelda rip-off and I don't want them to rip off something YET AGAIN. Notice how different the games Wind Waker and Twilight Princess look and feel, but they're the exact same world with reborn characters. I wonder how many comparisons I've made to Zelda so far.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

lol....just ties back to that nice cliche argument we had somewhere on here.....but I seriously wouldn't go with a reborn idea.....I don't know I just don't see it happening really.

That just really kinda screw with people's minds...because half still think Spyro is alive after the new world was born...and half don't....but I guess it's possible. We don't know what the developers are thinking.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

It wouldn't really screw up much than it already has. Some little kids probably don't know LoS is a rebooted game and must think it's the same Spyro. What other way is there to know other than words from the developers?

When I was young I thought Link was the same Link in every game, and it just continued from last time. The story didn't confuse me or anything, I just thought it was weird that he was older and younger all the time like if the developers couldn't make up their minds and that he has new friends in each game. Then someone told me a few years later that it's a different Link in most games and I was just like "huh? It is?" and they were like "duh, you fool, why do you think his background is always different?" I sure felt stupid, since it's supposed to be common sense as the game tells you itself: "hey, remember what happened in the last game? Yeah, this game said it happened thousands of years ago moron!!"

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

lol...well unfortnetly I never got into the Zelda games that much....but I see where your coming from. An older gamer is gonna notice these things...hence why the series was focused on young preteens and such...seeing as how most wouldn't even know the difference.

But of course...we older people have been around for all the Spyro games and so are plauged by both. Developers are always gonna head for money first....which was kinda bad for this new series...seeing as how they knew that they would managed to pi$% off a good portion of the old fans by doing it....but what are ya gonna do.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

I'm sure this has been stated numerous times before, but the difference I found between the original Spyro games and the LOS series, is that the original Spyro games had very entertaining game play, but they really did not have a coherent storyline.

The Legend of Spyro series had an excellent storyline, but the gameplay was not very good. It was way too linear.

I liked in the fist Spyro game, you could choose which level you wanted to go to and replay them if you wanted.

They should also change the battle format for any future Spyro games. Ideal for me would be one that is similar to the Kingdom Hearts system, which is so much more fluid and gives you so many more options than the LOS one, while unlike KH, be able to switch between Spyro and Cynder or any other character at will.


Are you a fan of Kingdom Hearts? If so, check out my new fanfiction crossover of the Legend of Spyro and Kingdom Hearts. You'll like it. I guarantee it.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

Yeah many people have noticed that...but you have a good portion of them who think the story in LoS was just full of cliches...and such...which yes it was....but I still found it better then the original series...which of course had cliches as well. Bad guy does something bad...Spyro finds him and beats him.

The real thing the old Spyro games had going for them was the simple and entertaining gameplay as you said. I liked what they tried with the reaction commands and all.....but it fell off on simple things...

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

If they do go back to the old series...I don't think they need to find someway to connect it with the LoS series....I just don't see the point to it. Unless it was perfectly done....which would be something to see...something that would unite all the fans per say....that I wouldn't mind seeing.

It woukd have a point, many many fans would be happy. And it would make sense that TLOS was called a Spyro game, because it was in the same universe as Spyro.

The whole connection thing is perfectly possible...but uhhh...good luck finding someone that would put such effort into attempting something. I personally can't see how you can have a Spyro game with two different Spyro's. Just too farfetched.

I've already stated how they could connect the 2 series effectively without having anything to do with two spyros in one game. It is perfectly logical that there could be 2 Spyros who are heroic in the same timeline, TLOS seems to have alot about destiny. maybe it was destiny that there was another heroic Spyro years later.

And very honestly if you think that ETD and AHT were better then ANB and TEN...(which I think they are about equal..but that's just me)..then that shows just how desperate you are for them to "reconnect" the old series.

I think they're better because they actually tried to be like Spyro games, unlike ANB and TEN who just didn't try.
As a video game, ANB and TEN could be better, but as a SPYRO game, ETD and AHT are much better.

ETD totally trashed the reputation Spyro was given by Insomniac

That is true, it turned alot of people away. But TLOS turned even more. I'm sure if TLOS came out instead of ETD, more fans would have beenn lost than got lost in ETD.

...and AHT attempted to fix that....but it still came up short. Those two games were part of the older series downfall no matter how much you liked them or not....so they took it in a different direction and that's that.

I dont like them, these games are crap, still better than TLOS.

I'm sure this has been stated numerous times before, but the difference I found between the original Spyro games and the LOS series, is that the original Spyro games had very entertaining game play, but they really did not have a coherent storyline.

Here we are again,  another person bashing the originals Storyline.
Theres no doubt that insomniac put gameplay first. But as much as you deny it. The originals did have a good storyline. ok, Spyro 1 didn't have a very good one, but that was the first spyro game and obviously need improvements, Spyro 2 and 3 however had many cutscenes. and When it comes to Spyro 3, it had an absolutely awesome storyline, with a twist and reviewers said "the best voice acting in a game that we've seen in a while"
The originals also insured they have a storyline for every single level and minigame.
So your statement about originals not having good storyline is pure fail.
besides, if the originals came back, theres no doubt that they wouldn't improve the storyline, maybe to the greatness of TLOS. so that's another way that statement fails.

The Legend of Spyro series had an excellent storyline, but the gameplay was not very good. It was way too linear.

And the gameplay is the most important thing about the game, it's what seperates the games from movies.

They should also change the battle format for any future Spyro games. Ideal for me would be one that is similar to the Kingdom Hearts system, which is so much more fluid and gives you so many more options than the LOS one, while unlike KH, be able to switch between Spyro and Cynder or any other character at will.

There's lots of ways they could improve the LOS gameplay, but they shouldn't even have any combat gameplay for Spyro anyway.

the original series.....which of course had cliches as well. Bad guy does something bad...Spyro finds him and beats him.

kind of like.....every single game ever. Its not a cliche, its the formula for many video games. there's a difference

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

You did state how the could effectively connect the two series...the post has nothing to do with your plan. I like your plan and all...but developers wouldn't go for something like that..and if they did for some odd reason...it would be one hell of game to see..so don't think I'm basing your idea or anything...I'm just being realistic about development nowadays.

And again you go back to "As A Spyro Game."...for your ideals you see the originals as the only true Spyro games...and that these reboots have nothing to do with the original character and such. Which I do slighlty agree...they rebooted the series to introduce a new Spyro character to the franchise..but they are all still part of the same franchis overall...you will discount this new series entirly because you simply adore the older games and can't see anything in your eyes that will replace them. That's just how you feel and that's always how you will feel.

And the only reason that TLOS turne away fans was because most of them were just like you and only wanted the older series. And let's be honest....TLOS has drawn more fans to the series as a whole. I have met friends who want to play the originals after playing LOS...most didn't even know Spyro existed..but now they want to find out. Again I will say...they rebooted for a reason..and they knew that they would lose the good half of fans...like you....who only enjoyed the first series.....they knew they would..but they wanted to draw more of a crowd to the Spyro name..and they did that rather effectively.

You don't like AHT and ETD...but of course you still like them more the TLOS....you just like the old series more and will take them over any TLOS game.

And to your nice little piece on me bashing the storyline...you take plenty of time to bash the heck out of the LOS storyline...so you can take the fact that someone doesn't like the old ones that much. You bash someone bashes back my friend....hence why it's an open forum...so your statement fails just as much.

The gameplay in general could have been improved yes...but it wasn't horrible. It was horrible to you of course since you really hate the games..even if it was semi-decent (which it wasn't all that bad) you still would have hated it. At least that's what I can tell from your many bashes against it. I have nothing against the original gameplay...it was simple and effective...hence why the gamer wasn't confused. They just needed to find that balance...they will have several more attempts to do so.

And as for your nice statement about the formula...again you take time to point out how full of cliches TLOS is...so don't contradict yourself....next time you go to do that you remember their is a formula.

Do you guys even know the difference between a clishe and something that is normal and expected to see in a game/movie/cartoon without which it wouldn't work?

You CAN have a game WITHOUT ultimate darkness, legends, main characters falling in love and overall grim, dark, already seen in Lord of The Rings story..

You CAN'T have a game without the main villain doing something bad,enemies and the main character that stops him...

It's like having a Mario game and then someone says ok screw Bowser and other villains we're not gonna have them doing bad stuff in this game it's clishe...

And what do you get? You get F***ing Mario Party!!!!

I didn't speak out against the forumla man. Ratchet went off on that...I was just stating that he contradicted himself. So don't go off on me thinking I don't know the difference. Yes you can't have a game without a main villain doing bad and such and such....and of course having the hero.

Nice comment on Mario Party lol....but yes your right..but I wasn't speaking against the formula and such..niether was Ratchet...I was only contradicting his assult against LOS...and going off when one does the same thing to the old series.

The game was release during a time that the storyline wasn't very layed out due to either space restrictions or focused more on gameplay then other things. Ever played Croc, Crash Bandicoot, Mario, Tomb Raider, Descent, etc. released before or in 1999? Most of them didn't have good methods to explain the storyline besides the game manual with the technology available and/or affordable back then.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

The vast majority of those games were all simple plow through gameplay...which during that time was about as advanced as it got...Spyro was a breakthrough when it came out...and that market was just craving for a game that was simple and graphically enhanced...but he is right...most games before then were just being introduced into a newly developed gaming world....hence why the storyline wasn't the focus of their development.

Well it would be great to stop the fighting lol...one thing leads to another and this is what you get. The question at hand of course is will their be any future Spyro games...to which some say yes...and that by involving the older games they can do it better...then those who say no they will just continue with the LoS games to move on...so it's just a neverending debate....I don't care as long as they continue the Spyro series in some way or another.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

As cool as that would be to see...I don't see the developers falling for that idea.

The whole point of their reboot was to branch away from the original series and introduce a new Spyro universe...so I highly doubt they will want to link them that closely.

You never know though...it is certainly possible.

What something originally is, is what it should stay and what defines it. If it does change, it should be slight. That is how i see it.

And the only reason that TLOS turne away fans was because most of them were just like you and only wanted the older series. And let's be honest....TLOS has drawn more fans to the series as a whole.

Yeah.....but just because people like it that doesn't mean thats what Spyro should be like. There were still many many more fans of the originals thanm TLOS.

You don't like AHT and ETD...but of course you still like them more the TLOS....you just like the old series more and will take them over any TLOS game.

.....I have my reasons. SSL and Orange are consided in the old series and i still rate them behind TLOS.

And to your nice little piece on me bashing the storyline...you take plenty of time to bash the heck out of the LOS storyline...so you can take the fact that someone doesn't like the old ones that much. You bash someone bashes back my friend....hence why it's an open forum...so your statement fails just as much.

I can't say that the TLOS storyline is bad, because it isn't, its rather avarage. But there's a whole lot of fans who say things like "OMG TLOS HAS BEST STORYLINE OUT AF ANY GAME OMG OMG."Yes, i think TLOS's story is overated, but in full,  i think the TLOS storyline and the originals are on the exact same level.

The gameplay in general could have been improved yes...but it wasn't horrible. It was horrible to you of course since you really hate the games..even if it was semi-decent (which it wasn't all that bad) you still would have hated it. At least that's what I can tell from your many bashes against it. I have nothing against the original gameplay...it was simple and effective...hence why the gamer wasn't confused. They just needed to find that balance...they will have several more attempts to do so.

Its obvious that if i hate the fact the series is there, my mind will try to make me hate everything about it. I adm,it there are many worse games than TLO's gameplay, and if you read my reviews you'd know i gave TLOS's gameplay about a 4.5 which isn't that bad compared to games like "bart vs the space mutants" where i give it a 2. So no, TLOS isn't the worst, but because the TLOS series simply just killed my favourite series of games, i hate it more.

And as for your nice statement about the formula...again you take time to point out how full of cliches TLOS is...so don't contradict yourself....next time you go to do that you remember their is a formula.

Theres a fine line between cliche and formula as starscream has gladly pointed out

Why need to create a TLOS game about it when you already have a good game! I'm sick of all this "fuse TLOS and the originals" crap, just go back to the originals or not. I dont mind a connection which seperates the series over time. But any of this parallel universe stuff is just a disgrace to the originals.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

That would be fun to see. Just try to find someone into the idea.

And to Ratchet...unless you do find someone who cares...the fact that someone "should" do something for the benefit of the fans or the series will not matter unless it's a direct route to money. Which I agree if they go back to the old games...that chance is there..becuase many fans out there would still enjoy it...

The only thing I can see is that if they do try to do something like that....they will only butcher it....thus ruining the image of the entire series. So if they do I just hope they go with someone who really really cares.

And if something was meant to stay in it's original form..then things wouldn't go very far. Yes it is correct that if the game had stayed as it was suppose to thing might have gone better...but look at the situation they were in.....the last two games pretty much failed in sales and reviews...so they decided to try something different instead of butchering the original image once more....perhaps they felt it was just time to move on...unfortunetly things have to keep changing....no matter how much we love things to stay that way...they never will...that's just a fact of life....but like you said that's how you view things....and that's how I do.

Last I checked you didn't know the exact amount of fans to both series...I personally don't know every single one...and just because you see more posts about one game then another doesn't prove a thing....I just go with that notion because just about every player I meet around here refers to the LoS trilogy first rather then the originals....and none of them have really been against it.....but that's just around here....I am only stating the notion that many more people know about Spyro now then before.

And I'm sure you have your reasons for judging each game as you do....and no matter who does it it's going to be pretty biased unless you are a professional reviewer...I personally have never played any of the game boy games so I wouldn't know how they are.

In terms of storyline it just depends on the person you are and what you expect from it...some really enjoy getting sucked into it..while others don't...I just go with how I felt about the old game...and then the new game...in Spyro I only played it because I really loved the gameplay...that's what made it enjoyable. For the new ones I mostly played because I loved the characters and the storyline.

I do agree with you on some of the posts stating things like you mentioned...about the storyline being so great and such...because yes it could have been better...but it's going to be different for everyone. That's just how I feel about it....the fans that they did pull into it were those excited by a rather decent plot as opposed to gameplay.

As for your reviews I only got a chance to look at one of them...and I did agree with you on most of your points on the gameplay...you just admit that you hate LoS because it killed the faith of the old series...so practical motivation for revenge right there. You're going to say how you feel about it just like any other fan....but moving along with things usually works better then working against them...unless of course we're talking about global facism or something lol...but that's beyond the point.

And as for Starcream's brilliant line between a cliche and a formula...no matter what you do...a cliche is going to be there if you want it or not. I have managed to notice that in just about every single game or movie in my collection. The main motivation of any game is to overcome the challenge...or bad guy...while experiencing fun gameplay and a deep storyline. Again some take gameplay over story...but I feel a game is more complete with a balance of both. LoS didn't manage to come true on that...and I agree with pretty much all of the reviewers. The old games didn't need a storyline since games during that time didn't really include one...

When someone discovered that a good story also draws players into the gaming experience...hence came the idea of combining great gameplay and story to make a great experience...perhaps the best I have seen with that is Kingdom Hearts....but again many gamers just focus on the gameplay itself.

As for your last piece..they created LoS after the failures shown in the last two developers...so one of them decided to try something new instead. They could have kept going perhaps and ruined the entire thing once more....or did what they did.....but it's over with now. Connections are interesting ideas...but if they are going to continue with the LoS story and characters... I can't see the originals being involved.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

I seriously doubt that Sierra will go back to the originals on a count of the originals were way too simplistic and it was all just killed when AHT and ETD came out so we all can bet that they are sticking with the new series


Why do they put restictions on movies and games when life is rated R?

Simplicity is actually pretty effective. See: graphic design.

Also the simplicity was mainly because of the fact that it was on the PS1, and the deadlines, heh. I'm sure they have a whole range of possibilities on a next-gen, now if only they knew how to use them.

Unless you do find someone who cares...the fact that someone "should" do something for the benefit of the fans or the series will not matter unless it's a direct route to money. Which I agree if they go back to the old games...that chance is there...because many fans out there would still enjoy it...

*Sigh* That's how the world economy works...it's hard to imagine a different system.

The only thing I can see is that if they do try to do something like that....they will only butcher it....thus ruining the image of the entire series. So if they do I just hope they go with someone who really really cares.

Go figure. They may have a good concept for a game but need to use something as a building block. *groans in frustration* Look what they tripped over.

And if something was meant to stay in it's original form..then things wouldn't go very far. Yes it is correct that if the game had stayed as it was suppose to thing might have gone better...but look at the situation they were in.....the last two games pretty much failed in sales and reviews...so they decided to try something different instead of butchering the original image once more...

"Failed in sales..." is just a way of saying to the devs that they weren't really putting some inspiring though into their projects. I'm not complaining, I'm just stating the fact that...they should of seen what hasn't been done yet and exploit it.

Last I checked you didn't know the exact amount of fans to both series...I personally don't know every single one...and just because you see more posts about one game then another doesn't prove a thing....I just go with that notion because just about every player I meet around here refers to the LoS trilogy first rather then the originals....and none of them have really been against it.....but that's just around here....I am only stating the notion that many more people know about Spyro now then before.

I can't say no to that but I've been getting a commotion on one of my  Youtube videos about this issue. It's currently minor at the moment so don't worry about it.

I think I know a good amount of concept ideas to make that happen.
Take a look at my Spyro: Syndi Horizon game idea if you got the time. It's still not finished being listed but I'll get to it.

Wait...I recall it being first claimed as a prequel, right? It slightly gets my hopes up even though it's now declared a reboot. If they can do that...hmm...*gets an idea*

I would just focused on the gameplay first than the graphics. I'd just have it subbed with some textures and sprites old school graphics until I have it layed out. Then I just port portions of the code over and rework it into the new graphic design. Yeah, yeah, I would work on the story and cutscenes too. Oh, and the sound. Sound is very important. I wonder what could be done about it on next-gen...


I don't care how it looks but how it functions

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

Well I was excited first when they said it's gonna be a prequel....and then it was like...no it's a reboot....and I'm just like "yeaaah what?...how do you reboot Spyro?"...

I have not looked at your Syndi Horizon yet...but now that you mention it I'm going to go check it out.

What youtube video is the commotion about?...popularity between new and old?....well I hate basing anything just off the internet alone...

But yeah great comments....I don't know exactly what happend with ETD and AHT....but I didn't play them for awhile because my friends were just like "don't bother...they really killed Spyro in this one.."...so I didn't for like a year...then I finally did. ETD was horrible...but AHT was quite better in my mind.

Re: Will there even be any future Spyro trilogies/game series coming?

i dont understand ETD either but AHT was clear 2 me
cuz a short summary is that red (evil dragon) must be stopped and gone 4 ever
and u have 2 collect the eggs and crystals 2 get certain parts of the game if u get all eggs u unlock minigames and the ablility 2 change characters the crystals ?
But if u destroy the dark crystals all of them u fight your final battle with red
