My theory of the future of Spyro

ratchet · Jan 24, 2009 4:28 AM

Another Reboot woul be totally unexpected and stupid. Spyro was good as he was.

CoolerThanYou68 · Jan 24, 2009 11:33 AM

I just hate the new Spyro game's, they just bother me with what they did to Spyro's look in the new one along with the voice acter. Spyro should not grow up what character has grown up in a game besides Snake, no growing for Spyro aloud. The fighting is just horrorible in the new game enmy after enmy constantly. The fights take at least 5 or 6 minutes to.

the only thing I like about TEN is turning into dark Spyro and the song This Broken Soul

Well, I totaly agree with Gunderstank that this reboot may be the best thing ever happened to our little friend, sure, Insomniac did a good job with the first games, but I don't think they would have been a big hit today. They really needed something fresh, and I haven't played A New Beginning nor The Eternal Night, but playing Dawn of the Dragon was enough for me, they really have something going here. Sure there is room for improvment, but isn't there always?

Stick with the new story, I say. I would be really *bleep*ed if they didn't.

They won't run out of idea's for a very long time, hopefully.

Ryft Darkpaw · Mar 28, 2009 3:09 AM

ideas grow on trees, there's nothing more common. /ORIGINAL/ ideas however (what this series needs) are /incredibly/ rare

Jackson117 · Mar 28, 2009 7:49 AM

i'm sure there are original idea's somewhere?

Spyro.Lover.Forever · Apr 02, 2009 11:45 AM

We have lots of original idea's on this very forum. I'm sure they could think up original idea's too tongue

dudes, I have never played the original spyro games, but TLOS got me HOOKED!!! so stop all the babble about how "TLOS sucks" and "spyro is dead" because that talk makes me SICK!!! spyro is alive and well, and I would not change the current spyro for anything. stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it! :-P

I'd like to point out that a return to the old-style seems far-fetched at this time.
And imho, Insomniac sold Spyro cause they got lazy:
"OMG! He can't hold a gun! We need guns for all the cool stuff!"
I mean, they've come up with some inventive weaponry (ex- any Ratchet and Clank game, another favorite of mine), but apparently they can't think of any creative attacks that don't come out of a gun barrel. That seems incredibly narrow-minded.

well you have to put into account that Insoniac was losing munny faster then they were gaining it so youcan't realy blame them for selling the rights for Spyro. and I for one think that Spyro has been getting better and better with each game even though Enter the dragonfly was a failure but you can't hold it against them they had to rush it to be able to release it on the due date.

DarkMaster · Aug 22, 2009 3:47 AM

yea, i think your right, spyro will eventually die

jgoughy · Nov 27, 2009 10:41 AM

(:) bring back the fireworks factory ninjas! they were SO COOL!!!! but the agent 9 mission was hard...until I found the secret powerup

I've thought ever since Insomniac Games (Is that the right spelling?) sold the rights of Spyro that, Spyro games have become less original, repetitive and most of all boring, after enter the dragonfly I just haven't played attention to the Spyro series. My theory is that the Developer's of Spyro will run out of Ideas and have to close down the spyro series.
This is not meant to offend anyone.

No offence taken, if Blizzard do make another Spyro, you will get a great game, look at Diablo and Starcraft and lets not forget Warcraft

Losing money? You are kidding me right? Spyro 2 sold 3.5 million and spyro 3 sold 3.7 Million, Thats going on the RISE, something that rarely happenes with sequels. Insomniac left the series simply because they wanted to do something different. You know they are a company taht likes shooters (Disruptor, ratchet and clank, resistance) and spyro wasnt doing that for them, so they put most of there ideas into one final game and left. Cant hold ita gainst them? So you arnt blaming them for a bad game? who are you blaming? Enter the dragonflys suckage is due to rushing as you said, not due to unoriginal ideas or the market of the old spyro dying.

dudes, I have never played the original spyro games, but TLOS got me HOOKED!!! so stop all the babble about how "TLOS sucks" and "spyro is dead" because that talk makes me SICK!!! spyro is alive and well, and I would not change the current spyro for anything. stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it!

It just realluy depends what can come out of TLOS and what can come out of the originals. Many fans, including I, really didnt think that the best original spyro game would have stopped at YOTD, and taht if they revolutioniserd the series it can be awesome. Also the fact taht the audience is back to liking platformers (because of the absense of them) and the original fanbase is dying for more games.

TLOS has so far been a safe route. something they know will sell avargely and make some profit. Or atleast thats what WE think.

Well, I totaly agree with Gunderstank that this reboot may be the best thing ever happened to our little friend, sure, Insomniac did a good job with the first games, but I don't think they would have been a big hit today.

Stick with the new story, I say. I would be really *Bleep* if they didn't.

The problem is that DOTD is like a much crappier version of spyro 3. It had 2 sequels that were just slightly worse than the game (Immagine DOTD as 6 and Spyro 3 as 9 as a rating, spyro 2 as an 8 anad spyro 1 as a 7 while TEN was a 5 and ANB a 4). It was the last of a trilogy, and they put EVERYTHING they could into it (expect for a good story), and to continue from that they have some serious thinking to do.
I do think hwever that if another TLOS game was released there would be enough of the fanbase and ignorant kids to want to buy the game, no matter how crap it is. And I think it will just be as good as DOTD or worse, because Im pretty sure DOTD needed a quite a bit of effort.
Pleasing the general audience now i believe will be very hard for TLOS, and thats why going back to the originals would be a better idea.

The Legend of Spyro was rushed and cliched. It's downfall came when it came to gameplay, it played like a bad clone, it was too generic.

ratchet · Nov 28, 2009 1:17 AM

The thing is though, that activision realises that no matter how crap the game is, fans will buy it and like it. and that means they have a good reason to continue TLOS

That's rather stupid if you ask me, I expected more from Activision and Sierra

S240sx24 · Nov 28, 2009 4:30 PM

Yeah theres really no way that the games can get worse, theres another game coming out. they r taking 2 yrs to make something. plus blizzard is on board, & i know they put their name on something if it doesn't live up to their name. plus other then, the kids buying the games there r others that play this game because spyrro is in it

But the thing is, with Blizzard they actually know how to make good games whereas the other companies just know how to make generic games

S240sx24 · Nov 28, 2009 4:40 PM

which is why im saying with blizzard on board the next game could be good & what a spyro game should be. maybe they'll bring spyro back on top.

S240sx24 · Nov 28, 2009 4:55 PM

Apoc · Nov 28, 2009 5:05 PM

I might get into WOW sometime once I've done with BioShock and Dragon Age: Origins
