Krome Studios or Estranges Libellules?

Aura24 · Feb 15, 2009 5:59 AM

Since there will more Spyro games in the future set after DotD, along with the movie, I was wondering which developers will be doing them: Krome Studios or Estranges Libellules again? No one knows yet, but I'm stuck between Krome Studios and EL.

If Krome Studios made the next Spyro games again, Spyro, Sparx, and Cynder would look young again(which means no plotholes on how they grew within the crystal during three years) and Cynder will probably have her iron jewelry still on from DotD and everyone else will look the same as they were in ANB and TEN.

If Estranges Libellules made the next Spyro games, then Spyro and Cynder will remain looking like teens and everything will look beautiful and fancy like they did with DotD, which I like too.

Probably EL. THey both suck IMO

I want my krome back. The french did all right with a few levels, but the colours were garish and the levels had no platforming, at all.

T3h0v4llu · Feb 15, 2009 7:56 PM

I REALLY hated the colors in dotd. REALLY. I guess krome then.

I pick SECRET OPTION C: choose a different developer that is more well-known for its work. And that could happen now that Sierra has merged with Activision. Blizzard has several developing studios within its company.

What I would NOT like to happen is have ELB develop another game. In my opinion, ELB is the last thing Sierra needs right now. <.<;

Of the two, I would have to go with Krome, which is ironic, since I originally thought that I would like DOTD the best of the trilogy. Sadly, it ended up being my least favorite. One of the major issues that I have with it is that Spyro no longer exists in a cartoon world. Every game in the series, up until this one, even the reboots, took place a world that looked cartoony.
Please note, cartoony does not nessecarily mean childish. ANB and TEN were definitely anything but, and there are quite a few other cartoons that I could name. It was more of a style thing-Cartoons are known for having exaggerated movements, humor, highly stylized characters and backgrounds, and generally looking like they could not exist in reality.

DOTD, although animated, tries too hard to look like something that could exist as a live-action world, with a little CGI thrown in. The enemies are the most noticeable when it comes to this, as is the aforementioned lack of humor. Also note that a game can still be cartoony and have excellent graphics. Little Big Planet for the PS3 is decently cartoony, as is Super Mario Galaxy, although not nessecarily next-gen.

This is only one flaw that I found with the game (believe me, there are many others), but I felt that this was the most important one. I could have lived with the other flaws, but this one really killed the whole game for me. If we could get Krome back, or another developer who follows a similar style, I would be ecstatic.

I'll go with ELB as long as they promise to tone down the lighting a little.... so bright...

Edit- I definetly prefer the color in DotD compared the the dull colored backgrounds in the other games I've been playing lately, but I wish it was a little more subdued.

Xythal · Feb 21, 2009 7:44 PM

I'll also go with ELB. I like the realistic style world better than the cartoony. I get more attatched with the game if it feels realistic.

Ratchet... You would hate almost any company that would make an TLoS game...

I agree. And you would probably hate the company that would make the next TLoS game too.

Wrong. Its so odd how you tlos fanboys are still saying that we hate tlos because it isnt like the old spyro's. If the games actually been good we wouldnt say that. They suck as a game (for obvious reasons), not because they arent like the old spyro's..

Jesus...

Aura24 · Feb 26, 2009 12:36 AM

Okay, okay. Anyways, if the next Spyro game is made by Krome Studios, they'll probably make Spyro a teenager where he left in DotD. If EL made the next Spyro game, then we all know it would be beautiful like DotD, which is fine by me.

Right, because your definitions of good are obviously the golden standard for the world to follow <.<

Not that it makes their argument any stronger, but they were saying that Ratchet would hate the new dev because it's connected to TLOS and he isn't a fan of it. You're arguing something they weren't even bringing up.

Parotia · Feb 28, 2009 8:13 PM

I'd prefer if neither company work on any more spyro games. The levels were confusing in ANB and TEN, and the colors were bland. Although the fury thing was really good. EL did a nice job w/ the environments, thats what I like most, the only thing was that it all felt much too short, even IF it was the last of TLOS series or whatever. I'm still sort of weeping over the fact that they couldve done more w/ it, but eh.

I'd rather have a different company, something like if they combine the two you know? Realistic, yet cartoony at the same time, I wouldnt mind having both in there, along w/ colorful environments. smile I just hope they dont try too hard w/ the game.

They suck in your own minds. While others believe that the new ones are awesome and the old ones suck. Doesn't matter to me because I try to enjoy all the games for what they are worth. Each game has their own positives and negatives. I wouldn't mind seeing EL come back to do another game so long as they improve upon what they have started...and I mean improve.

That thing is SO obvious that you dont even need to say it. I really dont have any authority to choose which games suck and which dont.

@TornWings:

This game is generally considered as crap in he gaming world. 59 metascore.
NO ONE gave more than 75. Yeah and i also have played the game. I couldnt sleep due to the game being so bad.

Even ANB and TEN (wii, DS) had more.

RedDragonX · Mar 17, 2009 6:00 PM

Everything will always be based around opinions...and DotD was mediocre at best in terms of gaming...but I did enjoy EL changes in design.

T3h0v4llu · Mar 17, 2009 7:43 PM

Well im relieved that you atleast at some point agree with me, of course.

I think that arguing over opinions and saying that yours is superior is retarded (sorry if i tend to do it sometimes).

RedDragonX · Mar 17, 2009 9:15 PM

Nothing wrong with debating things. When it gets to the point where you are just screaming out that something is superior for your own reasons without real evidence to back it up it gets moronic......but we are all prone to that.

I do believe that LoS as a whole could have been much MUCH better...but all things considered it still keeps things alive for Spyro as a whole....and I will always support the franchise first despite drawbacks.

All and all it's pretty useless to argue about....that and their really isn't thing to argue about during this dead period....

Red-n-Aqua · Mar 17, 2009 10:59 PM

I enjoy both of the "Eras", Original and Legend. Because... it's Spyro, after all!

Anyway, I did enjoy DotD; but I would rather have Krome back. I think they were great. big_smile

TornWings · Mar 18, 2009 1:24 AM

T3h0v4llu, you did actually buy the games I hope, otherwise I don't think you have grounds for complaint. I'm hoping you did but things you've said lead me to think otherwise.

I don't mind someone complaining about a game when they've put down to cash to buy it but you have me wondering if you really did.

That's right. I bought ANB and TEN. I knew that ANB and TEN might suck, but i still bought them since they were so cheap (10 and 15 euros). They were very well worth the money. DotD was way too much.

Even when ANB and TEN are mediocre games (well not THAT bad when i played DotD), i still can like how some things were implemented to the game.

The biggest thing the Legend trilogy suffered from was rushed deadlines. Only a year to develop the game? Krome pretty much had to work back-to-back on the first two Spyro games, no break or anything. And then when you consider that Sierra ditched Krome and moved shop to ELB's studio, it gave ELB even LESS time than Krome had to develop DotD. And that's why DotD is the blatant dictionary picture for your rushed video game.

Seeing as Sierra obviously is done with Krome (seeing as they didn't let them finish a trilogy they did 2/3rds of the work on), the logical option is to jump ship from ELB. I mean, the Spyro series has undergone numerous developer changes. It's not like one more is going to kill it. <.<

RedDragonX · Mar 21, 2009 3:08 AM

Who knows. It's useless to argue about. I think they will stick with EL but you never know. They will most likely jump ship again which is never a good thing. Keeping a video game character with it's original company will do wonders for it....and that has always been a huge drawback to LoS...and always will be unless they come out with something awesome.

Spyro Master · Mar 21, 2009 12:35 PM

I think kromes style was more suited to TLOS, but i still liked EL, so i think it should remain with EL as it was more recent.
