darkSpyro

Well, there are a LOT of Spyro toys...
//forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/vi...ic=29007&page=1
And that's just my old collection. I have many more now.

But finally, toys with characters other than Spyro and Sparx, that are official!

Wow, who did that music linked there? There's no info given at the video site itself and I don't know if it's Hans Zimmer or not (it could be, but I don't know).

Here's the titles he composed for Modern Warfare 2:
music here

Say, the article said Spyro's powers were charge and flame, do think those are his only powers? If so, do you think we could be heading back in the direction of simple explore/collect gameplay? But then that could just be for Spyro, one of the other 30 characters could be around for the sake of combat.
Just a thought.

I only just realized that neither flight nor gliding have been said. That makes me wonder whether it will be similar to DoTD, as that tried going back to platforming, which may be what going back to the roots meant... *shivers* I'd better get a blanket, this will be a long-ish wait.

Just out of curiosity, do you think there'll be characters from the old Spyro universe? Flame, Bianca, Ember, and so on? And what about Cynder? JJust curiosity..
I hope they keep a lot of the same characters. :/
But new characters! I'm really looking forward to new characters too!

But still, ehhh. I want another screenshot ._.
To see more. ^.^

^I hope for that too!

DotD tried to go back to platforming? With FLIGHT?

I expect there will at least be gliding; Spyro's gotta use those wings somehow.
OH! I just had an idea, how about you can fly in SLSA, but only to get from one floating island to another? And when in flight, you're not on a guided path. You can actually fly as you want, picking up floating items and attacking airbirn enemies, but you have to be careful about wind currents. Some will Blow upwards and lift, which can be good or bad if you're strong enough to use the wind*, or they'll blow/suck you down, or roll you over.
*As you go through the game you get upgrades which do different things depending on who the item is for (ie. purple orb is for Spyro, black one for Cynder, etc). In Soyro's case they increase his flight ability and wind currents become less of a problem to him, until you can fly without regard to wind, or only concerning big things (ie.tornados). As you get stronger you can use the wind to move from place to place/gain or loose altitude quickly as you see fit.

Considering the design and the fact that they say it'll try to remind us of the Classic days, LoS characters will be getting the boot.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if all of the characters are gone, and Activision pulls brand new characters out of their ass while only keeping Spyro and Sparx.

SOB. SPYRO's BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hah Spyro looks so silly with those giant eyes and bulldog snout,but I kinda like it !8D lol
omg I'm excited!But I'm still remaining abit skeptical until I play it ;P!
What consoles is this gonna be on :0? only the wii/ds or?
and he's looking like a kid again,AAAH yess!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for alot of platforming and puzzle/scavanger hunting!

You know, I'm seriously looking forward to this game. I don't care how it looks just as long as it's playable. Actually, Spyro's new look just suddenly grew on me now. HA! I knew it would happen!

But seriously, I'm a huge Spyro fan and I'll buy anything Spyro-related, lol.

lol I didn't mind the new look, but it's the fans complaining only about his design is what I'm 'face palming' about. Some of the fans wanted a classic spyro game, they got it, but they're just complaining like crazy all because of Spyro's design in the game. How ironic is that?

HYPE!!!!!!!!

I'm sick and tired of the people complaining about how he looks. It's Sonic 4 all over again.

People complained how they didn't want the DotD designs. Guess what? You now have new designs. Quit *****ing and enjoy the fact that bulky Spyro is gone. And actually wait and play the game before deciding not to buy it just because of how he looks.

@Aura24: I was a little iffy about his new design before, but later on, I just grew to like it. Heck, look at my avatar, lololol.

Yeah, it's so stupid. Fans need to be happy about being a new Spyro game coming out, not pulling another Sonic 4 move again. :/

@CAV: Wholeheartedly agree. People need to stop complaining about this big time. ><

cynder will be in it. she has an epic fan base.

I doubt that would make them put her in there, especially just because of that reason. The game looks to be a reboot, and with that case, DotD will be the last game Cynder was in.

For one thing, I'd be shocked if they managed to find a way to put her in there, because say what you want, it won't be easy.

^I wish Cynder would be there, and maybe she would be...but the fact that the series is quote "Going back to its origins", I doubt it.

Wow, I missed a lot again!
I like the new Spyro!

I sill think Cynder will be in it. If its a reboot they could easily put her in it.

They should, cause Cynder does have a fanbase about the size of Spyro's.

I like spyros knew look he kind of looks like he's from shrek or how to train your dragon.

Not really. It isn't easy to put a character that has only been in 3 games into the game. And when the game is suppose to be based off of the Classics, you're more likely to see Agent 9 than Cynder.

He's kinda cute actually...
If you don't think of Classic or Legend, he's downright adorable.

I think of them, and Spyro looks like an adorable demon. :3

And this is coming from a guy....

He kinda looks like a neopet. Y'know, like some character from Pepet Park...
...
or Spore.

Hmm....i wait of official ingame screens and a trailer next week.

I doubt you'll get anything mroe than a couple of screens. A teaser trailer if you're lucky.

There's people over at another forums site I go to complaining about Spyro's new design, too. God, everyone's taking this way too seriously..... -__-

Doh! I was too late to say. x( Information leaks out quickly.

Two minutes later, a site has several screenshots and two of the figurines. Life, eh. :/

Edit: Wait, you don't know about it yet? Now you do.

Guys, I have some more screenshots... And now I think I know why it was going to be called Monster Gang... I believe the other playable characters will be monsters, not dragons. Looks like AV are yet again aiming at boys, though this time young boys... I'm going to look a fool, as a teenage girl, buying freaky monsters. Oh, but the good thing is that it's two-player. http://www.computerandvideogam...announce-spyro/ All info from there, go check it out. I'M HATING THESE MONSTERS. D:

LOGO and its awsome.

eh? Does this mean they'll cancel SK?

Quote: DeathStar

It IS SK.

Saw those screenshots earlier. Not liking the monsters either.

That are 100% Wii screens

Whoa! A new Dragon!

http://www.computerandvideogam...ticle&id=246408

Also, can't see the logo pic.

^ I saw that earlier, too, looks like a HTTYD dragon. I'd love it if that guy's in the game, but so far I haven't seen a trace of him.

I love it

I like the art and designs not that interested in those monsters tho
but the levels seems quite platform/puzzle-y,I just hope the camera is adjustable,I kinda don't want a semi-bird's perspective camera angle >_o
eh we'll see... :3

ACTIVISION showed a german game site the Wii version here link:

Some toy pics.

A Spyro figurine for my bedroom <3

I utterly hate what they have done to Spyro. I will hunt down the losers that made this and throw them to purple skinned alligators.


I will avenge thee Spyro!

Toys for Bob is the developer...

LoL that situation remember me on the TLOS Time.

Calm down guys (:

^Agreed.

It'd look like an awesome game if it was a new character. But the Fact that is a spyro revision It looks kinda crummy.

Wow to much hate :/

I like it!

The gameplay looks better as Dawn of the Dragon gameplay.

I still plan on getting it. But I'm just saying that a name change may be nessesary.
