So I say keep to one main story on the good side. Cuz who wanna be evil? Really? To be good feels alot better.
Now you see I disagree with that. Being evil is a lot more fun. After reading the posts about a choose your own side mode I think it would be fun. The chance to play as Malefor or Dark Cynder or Dark Spyro would be welcome in my opinion; after playing DotD I thought it would be so much fun to torch those irritating moles but alas, good people arent supposed to do such nasty things.

Yeah, suppose some people could find some fun in it, but I don't think that should do in a Spyro game. After all, I don't think adding Evil side in game that, even though fitting for most ages, also shall fit for kids 10 years and below. I may be overprotecting, but I don't like seeing my little brother (he's seven) thinking doing evil deeds is fun. I think that Spyro should be kept a... "Good" game, if you see what I mean, cuz at least good deeds doesn't give younger folks the idea that killing innocents and enslaving people is fun.
This is why I don't let him play Overlord, cuz I've seen the effect. So my vote would be against an evil side of the game... Even though I agree on your mole point.

Well with that said, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Shadow the Hedgehog gave you the option of being evil and they weren't really given a high rating (my eight year old brother has been playing them since he was five) and they seemed to do alright (shadow not so much). Personally I dont think playing games where you enslave mankind (or molekind as the case may be) does have an adverse affect on children's morals and ethics. An 'evil mode' wouldn't affect the rating that much and could give a spyro game the extra little challange that some of the older gamers need (I'm not just talking about me, hell, even my brother found DotD incredibly easy).

Xythal · Feb 20, 2009 8:46 PM

Maybe true, I don't know. Very well, this leads to the conclusion that you want to be evil, I don't, the rest is up to the developers, isn't it?
I still think though, that Spyro should be a symbol of hope and kindness, and not destruction and fear. I think that, if something, would have runined Spyro.

Fresh blood · Feb 20, 2009 8:52 PM

Well Spyro doesnt necessarily have to be the evil character, there's quite a few possibilites, such as Cynder or Malefor. But I do see your point, a game that was intended to depict good triumph over evil should probably stick to that formula. I'll just say that it wouldn't be unwelcomed by me if there was an 'evil mode' and I'm sure others would agree.

Xythal · Feb 20, 2009 9:05 PM

Yepp, I think that would be the best thing to do, and I myself prefer to be good. But I just had to comment, I wouldn't like to see Cynder as an evil character again, no way. But Malefor? True. That would work. But I've grown quite attatched to Cynder now, and seeing her turning her back on Spyro would not be a pleasant experience. And after all, she wouldn't do that, she has feelings for him.

Fresh blood · Feb 20, 2009 9:10 PM

Well you've made it clear that Spyro should stay good but what if he went evil with Cynder? That way she wouldn't be turning back on him. That's how I would see the 'Evil mode' anyway, Spyro follows her cause he loves her, they could have made it into two games, where the story is the same but the events are different, sort of like the Spyro/Crash crossover, you'd buy which game you want, depending on whether you wanted to see Cynder turn to Spyro's side (The good game) or Spyro turn to Cynder's side (The Evil game).

Xythal · Feb 20, 2009 9:13 PM

Well, honestly, I actaully like that idea! Something for everyone. Though it could rise the problem of which version to make a sequel too and such, but that doesn't matter in the present at least.
Well, been nice argueing with you, Fresh Blood, but I am logging of now, so don't exspekt any answers from my for a while.

Fresh blood · Feb 20, 2009 9:16 PM

Well maybe there wouldn't be a sequel? Or you'ld just make the sequel to the game where the majority of the characters survive, which would be more than likely the 'good' game because heroes never kill their villains. Nice arguing with you too, Xythal.

Jackson117 · Feb 21, 2009 7:26 AM

That didn't apply to darkspyro

when he CRUSHED GAUL

Fresh blood · Feb 21, 2009 10:28 AM

Well you answered that yourself; that was Dark Spyro, not Spyro. For all intents and purposes at that point Spyro was evil.

Ryft Darkpaw · Mar 28, 2009 2:39 AM

good wins over evil.....*alarm goes off* CLICHE seriously, how is any ending not cliche these days? what spyro needs is an ORIGINAL idea for the plot, or at least something /resembling/ an original idea. get a little work done on it thank you

Fresh blood · Mar 28, 2009 2:41 AM

Spyro dies. That's original. Spyro NEVER dies so it cant be cliched.

Ryft Darkpaw · Mar 28, 2009 2:55 AM

well there you go, let's wrap that up and send it to the designers. might scare 'em though, game producers aren't used to seeing original ideas tongue

Spyro.Lover.Forever · Apr 10, 2009 3:04 PM

Even If Spyro died in one game with a sad ending... I'm pretty sure they wouldn't stop.

Fresh blood · Apr 10, 2009 3:07 PM

Maybe you could play as an undead Spyro with a new rancid rotting breath attack!

Spyro.Lover.Forever · Apr 10, 2009 7:13 PM

Ghost Spyro .. I'd hate that idea xD

Fresh blood · Apr 10, 2009 7:16 PM

What? Are you mad? He could be transparant! In fact I reckon he'd have to defeat the ghosts of all his past enemies to impress the ancestors enough to grant him his life back. You could even cater to the Cynder fans and have her on some bonus levels where she has to go on a journey to escape her grief. And for a kick in the teeth you could have Spyro get his life back only to discover Cynder has either moved on or topped herself off! But then again I think that story would be a little to complex, it would be a lot simpler to just have him get back to her whilst she's trying to think of a way to bring him back.

Spyro.Lover.Forever · Apr 10, 2009 8:17 PM

Yeah, It wouldn't be the worst Idea. I was just thinking... He could look blue as a ghost.. Every Spyro game is about a Rare Purple Dragon.

Even if he did die, I think that'd just be an end of a trilogy or something and then they'd carry on with completely new games.

Trasher258 · Apr 10, 2009 8:21 PM

I would twist that around and have Cynder the one that can't be turned back even after what she's been through. Heart breaking really... I thought about it and wondered if Malefor could still remotely influence her having that link between them while he was in Cortextivity. Was he sent back to Cortextivity? And what's more dire about the whole thing is if one dies then the other dies as well because of the link. Well, you can't just let Dark Cynder go crazy so... yeah. There's a BIG problem here. hmm

You know, that's seems one of the most original things I can come up with.

Fresh blood · Apr 10, 2009 8:27 PM

Convexity was never a place where Malefor was trapped, it was a link between the dragon realms and the dark realms where Malefor was imprisoned. When Convexity collapsed because of Spyro's and Cynder's actions Malefor was presumebly killed when he left the dark realms to get into convexity which is how he got into the Well of Souls. Of course now I have no idea where he is. I suppose he and Cynder could still be linked in someway but I think that would be a pretty overused plot element after already using it in all three games, I don't think it would sit well. Of course that's just my humble opinion.

Oh, ANYTHING but a spinoff series called Sparx and Friends. PLEASE, NO!

OMG!! I can imagine them releasing something like that, with that exact title - I really can. And I can imagine them ruining the entire name of Spyro, just like Boomerang did with that show with the baby Loony Toons characters (forgotten the name of it). >.<

lol - you have to remember that some clichés make the game cute - in my opinion, anyway, like the end of Dawn of the Dragon. =3
I do think that it would be a very good twist having Spyro turning dark for Cynder. Or something like Spyro somehow being brainwashed into thinking evil thoughts and becoming dark, and Cynder trying to stop him. But, then again, nobody seems to want clichés, so that idea probably wouldn't work...

Don't get me wrong - it's not like I like something overloaded with clichés, but the occasional one, here and there, do make a game or movie really something. smile

Fresh blood · Apr 17, 2009 1:45 PM

I agree with that, I always like the idea of a hero turning evil, it just adds something to a continuity that makes it so much more interesting. And there's so many ways it can be done too with so many different consequences to it. My personal favourite would be Spyro turning evil for something concerning Cynder; not because I'm a Spyro/Cynder fan, but because she's the only thing left that can get strong emotional responses out of him.

RedDragonX · Apr 19, 2009 2:20 AM

I wouldn't mind seeing Spyro go evil. They certainly have the elements to make it possible with the taint of darkness upon him and the connection that he does share with Malefor. Cynder has overcome the vast majority of the darkness within her at the conclusion of DotD...but if what Malefor said was true, if the purple dragons were meant to bring about the end of the world instead of save it, then I think Spyro should def have his morals put to the test with the evil that is within him.

I could see a game where you have to control Cynder and defeat the plans that Spyro has created to bring about the downfall of the world once more..but of course game developers will find their own little nutcase way to making some kind of plot...hopefully it's decent.

Spinner the Faun · Apr 19, 2009 5:37 PM

I would totally love to see a one off Spyro game where he turns bad - helps the bad guys instead of the good guys. Stuff like that is so awesome. But I think it should only be done for a one off game though, otherwise it kinda kills what Spyro is. But for that one game, I would LOVE it. Nobody would expect it so it would make it very addictive just to discover what is going on lol.

RedDragonX · Apr 20, 2009 11:35 PM

Yes it is very entertaining when something completely unexpected hits you. I just think it would be a good way to draw people back to the game so they can see things for themselves.
