Read it and weep.

I don't know what *bleep*s me off more. The fact that they ripped off nintendo with characters that don't nearly sell as well, or the fact that Spyro, who should be at the top of the list of characters to be in this game, will not make an appearance because of him being traded to non-Sony commercials.

Sony, if you're gonna have a competitve video game market like what you got, you cannot claim to have a conglomerate cast of characters like Nintendo does. Don't try to pretend that you do.

Clock-la · Apr 27, 2012 7:13 PM

Latias fan · Apr 27, 2012 8:38 PM

Kevin Butler will be the final boss. Calling it.

JazzJackrabbit · Apr 28, 2012 3:40 AM

At least Mane 6 will be good.

pur · Apr 28, 2012 7:53 AM

You realise that it's been confirmed that third party characters will appear, right? Spyro still has a chance of getting in.

Don't go raging just yet.

Clock-la · Apr 28, 2012 11:02 AM

I hope to hell he dosn't.

Spyro should be left alone to die now, I don't wanna see him turn into sonic

Don't kill Spyro, but don't let him become one of those "just an old character
mixed in with other unrelated characters to make a cheesy game" kind of
characters. Spyro deserves much better. Sonic got nuthin on Spyro.

Clock-la · Apr 28, 2012 5:32 PM

That depends swaffty very soon, he could turn just like sonic D:

JazzJackrabbit · Apr 28, 2012 5:42 PM

I don't want them to put Spyro in a shameless knock-off. Those other characters don't deserve to be graced by the presence of such a classic.

Besides, most of those characters were already unofficially in Brawl.

I don't understand what's so wrong about putting him in a brawl game like this. The sliver of a chance he has on getting in, they'd probably make him in his first generation form. Isn't that what the real issue is for everbody? I have never understand the 'let him die' thing unless you feel it threatens your childhood memories, in which case, I'd say that that is just part of growing up.

Mr. John · Apr 29, 2012 12:35 PM

Looks pretty interesting. Hope the game's good. Does kind of look like a rip off of Super Smash Bros. But it should be interesting to say the least.

Will Spyro be in it. We shall see.

It's not because it threatens my childhood memories. A bunch of other things already ruined some of my childhood memories. What I want is my Spyro to be UN****** WITH!! It's pretty much consistent that no one can do Spyro justice anymore after the PS1 era. And if Insomniac(Or whatever the company was called that made the PS1 games) won't take him back. Then just put him out of misery.

Clock-la · Apr 29, 2012 5:45 PM

^ I think furry summed it up. I just don’t like seeing things get overly milked. That and what spyro will show up? I mean Sonics been around for like years but I assume we still know who sonic is. Spyro’s been rebooted so many times its just becoming ridicules.

Latias fan · Apr 30, 2012 12:27 AM

Yup. This is a SSB ripoff. Pretty much confirmed.

riverhippo · Apr 30, 2012 11:34 AM

wow, I would hate to be in the hospital unable to respond and have you guys be the ones to decide whether or not to pull the plug or not. This whole "Spyro died a long time" crap? I'm tired of it.

This. I think your blowing this out of proportion hippo.

EDIT Also since we're on a topic of ripoffs

Square Enix had a new game to announce today. I know some of you have played (and loved) Nier. Were any of you looking for a sequel or something similar to Nier? Did you absolutely love this diamond in the rough? Were you expecting great things from the development company that co-developed Nier along with Square Enix?!

Well guess *bleep*ing what?!?!!?!

You're getting Left 4 Dead.

TBH I don't care one bit what they do with this game, blatant ripoff or no. They can do what they want with it and I won't care, because I won't be playing it. If you won't be playing it, either, there is nothing to get upset over, surely.

As for Spyro (I apologize in advance for this rant that I've typed out many times, but I think it's relevant here), I don't see what the problem is with the idea that he "died a long time ago." As soon as the series went off in the completely different direction that was LoS, Spyro did die for a lot of people because it was no longer the Spyro that they knew. I am continually astounded by the fact that people apparently cannot grasp that, when Spyro rebooted, it became a completely different series, even if it had the same name and a couple of the same characters. Thus, there was really no reason that someone should like the new games or even consider them "Spyro" if they don't want to.

I guess the point is that many people, myself included, aren't going to stick to something and support any direction it takes out of mere loyalty to a brand name (which is essentially all Spyro is). Even though I'm thinking about trying Skylanders, it has much more to do with the fact that it looks fun than fact that a purple dragon thing named Spyro is in it. I don't care that Spyro happens to be in it, because as far as I'm concerned, he's not.

You might think this sounds like a original fantard rant, but I assure you it is not. I am perfectly okay with the fact that other people hold the opinion that Spyro is "still alive" or whatever. I just see all the series as completely different entities which have nothing to do with each other. While the original games are my "real Spyro," others who played LoS first and liked it might call that the "real Spyro."

This was way too long for something I don't even care that much about, haha.

Neotyguy40 · May 02, 2012 12:53 AM

I agree with Stormeh.

Personally, I loved the original three, but I also liked ANB and DoTD in their own rights as games. Yea, they are all completely different, but the problem is there, they are different. Wanting a game to outright disappear is pretty stupid, especially if others like the new Skylanders game. If you don't enjoy something, no one is forcing you to buy it, and the same issue appears with almost every popular game series ever known. To many, it happened to Crash Bandicoot, Sonic, CoD, and hundreds of others. In fact, it doesn't just happen to video games. The Pokémon anime, Dune books, and even Facebook itself are examples of this.

It happens to everything. The best you can do is to move on and let the next group enjoy what you don't.

Clock-la · May 07, 2012 10:17 AM

How can anyone like doted baffles me...

Anyway has any new caricatures been announced yet?

Latias fan · Jun 05, 2012 2:16 AM

Two new characters were announced at Sonys press conference. Nathan Drake from Uncharted and Big Daddy from Bioshock.

Latias fan · Jul 15, 2012 11:07 PM
