darkSpyro

You can see the dragon about two times altogether, both times towards the beginning. It's to the right of Spyro's figure. The part when you can see the dragon most clearly is at about 0:22/0:23 in the background to the right of the character being focused on.

And I hope Sparx isn't gone either, but if he was in the game, you'd think he'd be shown in the trailer considering he's a huge part of Spyro. And yes, it would be difficult to include him in the action figure, but who says he needs to be on the action figure? And if Activision just didn't think he's important, they're wrong.

I'm extremely curious about the characters not shown in the trailer. Only a small portion of the 31 characters were shown, which mean there's plenty we don't know about o.o

32, I believe.

It's really hard to see but this dragon also happens to be behind Spyro.

If they do bring Sparx back, I hope he's cocky and humorous like in ANB and TEN.

Yeah, when it was zooming in on Spyro, it was showing more and more of the dragon until I could almost see the face, and I'm like "yes! " then it cut to another scene/view I was disappointed.

^ And i agree. That was my favorite Sparx

I hope! I love the TLOS Sparx!

They, they got rid of Sparx? Why would they do that!!??! *Has Mental break down*

I don't think they got rid of Sparx, Spyro was kicked out from their world along with the other characters by the evil portal master, Kaos - leaving Sparx back...sad...alone.

I think Sparx will come back if another game is released after Skylanders.

^That's what I was thinking.

Also, I saw the gryphon;

And the dragon has a blue base, so it's probably a water type. A water dragon is interesting, maybe it'll be a little more ice-oriented. But the blue was alas rather light, it could be wind or life.

I don't know. It's possible.

I believe the rock base of the griffin is life. Assuming the characters have matching bases for their respective elements, it's highly unlikely the dragon is life.

They shouldn't have dumped Sparx. Even if he couldn't stay with Spyro, he could always be talking to him through magic, telling him what to do to beat a level.

It's a Spyro spin-off...

Nope it's some random game with Spyro stamped on it

Like I said, it's a spin-off. Not really a full Spyro game.

Think of it as a Goonro game instead.

The 3DS version would be the best skylanders game

It's similar to the console versions.

I think that, jump functionality or not, that it will be a solid action/platformer. I mean that the main reason we enjoy the jump button is freedom yes, however if the game doesnt rlly require you to jump or gives you what is neccasary when it is needed then we might not notice or mind all that much.

3DS=yes, better but a different gaming experience
PS3/others=Good, however it might be quite simple yet fun

Looks more like an Action/Puzzler, than a Action/Platformer.

So 3DS version is more objective-like in order to proceed.

Why did Activison decide to get another developer to develop the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions, why can't Toys For Bob just port it?

Toys for Bob develop the Wii,Ps3,Xbox360 and the PC version and Vicarious Vision the 3DS version o.ô

I looked on wikipedia and a company named XPEC Entertainment is developing for the other consoles, don't know if it is true though.

I trust them much more.

From that preview, the 3DS version sounds far superior. The idea of an enemy chasing you back through a level sounds very cool.

I'd probably end up getting a version for both PS3 and 3DS.

But first, I need a PS3 and 3DS.

I'm not all that bothered about it.

Skylander's doesn't really seem like a proper Spyro game without Sparx...

It's not exactly a full spyro game, it's more of a spin-off.

^I wasn't aware that a side character gives the main character it's identity....

Yeah, but it will just seem weird for Spyro not to have Sparx at his side...you guys may be alright with it, but I'm not. :/
I mean, Skylanders does look great, and I would get it if I had the right console...but I just miss Sparx.

To me, it's a good thing Sparx isn't in this. They started to mess him up in DotD, and I would be afraid to see what happened next to the character.

The game is also a spin-off, but at the same time a reboot for the franchise. When a reboot occurs, it's not surprising that all supporting characters are erased. We were lucky to get Sparx in LoS, and he didn't have much purpose other than to give comic relief.

And maybe the reason I don't care is because for the most part, it's just your health bar, and in LoS, a yellow ball following you, taunting you if you died (in TEN at least).

I was meaning more like Classic Sparx. I liked Sparx in ANB, but I didn't like him at all in TEN or DOTD.
Sparx could collect up whatever you collect in Skylanders, (like coins, gems etc I don't really know what you collect in Skylanders). And be helpful like he always has been.

I know Skylanders is a spin-off, but it just doesn't seem right without Sparx.
Every Spyro game so far has had Sparx, even though Skylanders is a spin-off, it's still a Spyro game, right?

But he might of just looked ugly in Skylanders form...or better, but we don't know because he doesn't exist in Skylanders...

Even Classic Sparx took a backseat for me, and got annoying at times (ETD).
That sounds more like an excuse to stuff him in there.

Again, I already told you about how a reboot often works. Normally, we wouldn't have gotten Sparx in LoS. We were lucky that time.

Maybe he does, but they're keeping it secret. Wouldn't be too surprised.

yeah its a spin off so im not really surprised as to how this direction they took in or why sparx aint in the game. I knew this really cant be a spyro game, sure they could reboot it but once you start eliminating characters that have been around since the start of a franchise then your just asking for it to fail. its like zelda, in all his games he's had a fairy be with him tho its just for helath purposes, but like mario you pretty much have the same characters luigi, princess peach, bowser, yoshi so really if its a reboot sparx would've been rebooted in the process too not just completely booted for ever. and it aint a reboot its just a spin off game that includes spyro trust me if it was a reboot then it would be called. "Spyro's adventure in skylanders world" or something like that.

Actually odds were in Tlos we would get sparx because even in the classic games they were like brothers. sparx was second to spyro.

That be life having Rachet and Clank with no Clank at all...Ever

That be life having Rachet and Clank with no Clank at all...Ever

Clank is a main character, plus his name is in the title, so he has to be in there.

Was Sparx's name ever in the title?

I'm wondering if the main reason is that they aren't bothered about Sparx is because they don't care about the old Classic fans, the LoS fans or fans of both of the series, they just want to aim it at kids, and newcomers won't even know that there is a Sparx in the first place, so it wouldn't be important.

It was in the Japanese version of Ripto's Rage...

if sparx's name was suppose to be in the title and if that made sense about him having to be in the title for them to not boot him off, then its like having sonic without tails or having luigi in any of the super mario games? again there's certain things you do to a franchise to change it up and make it better but other things like main characters and history that you dont change too much on a franchise.

This may be the craziest thing i could say, but they should make the older characters part of the roster of playable characters, like hunter could use his bow, the fawn[havent played ripto's rage in for ever]and the bunny chick[same situation here] use different magical eliments = my favorite thing they ciuld do -> bring in the LoS Spyro and Cynder characters with Sparx as an addon[just so he CAN be in th game somhow] for the two; maby even th older Spyro from the first game with Sparx[like the LoS Spyro x Cynder] but he changes color from the amount of health you have left[do you know what i meen?] again that IS what I would do.

They are doing what Insomniac did to us when we were kids: Introduce a character, and gain fans. People seem to expect the game to always be targetted towards them. Why would it, especially when a lot of Classic fans have long since moved on to other games, not caring or even knowing if Spyro is still continuing.
