darkSpyro

Did you see my vid? I can't see videos on my phone so I hope I pinpointed the right time. Elliot's cool. He's a bad guy, but he doesn't want to be. His king was corrupted and his army turned evil, and he had no choice but to die for his kingdom. He's a nice guy outside of battle and wants to be friends, but he stil fights and tries to kill you.
He died with honor IMO.

And some of his last words were "The next time you see me {player} it will be on the battlefield. If I die, please free Runefaust and King Ramladu from Darksol's influence."

I saw it, and you got the right time.

And I still think of Dark as his avatar. I honestly have to wonder. Why did he use the Japanese design of Spyro as his avatar?

?????

Maybe because Spyro is originally Japanese?

Spyro wasn't originally Japanese. If that was the case, then why did only about 3 games come out in Japan?

The first three games mind you.

Besides his avi is different than most, making him relatively easy to point out...and on a side note, its kinda cool.

The first three games did not come out in Japan, I'm using Wikipedia as my source here, I've only heard about Spyro 1 and 2 being out in Japan and a couple of the handheld ones.

Nope, Spyro is 100% American (except for that one game that was made in France ). Insomniac is a California-based company and always has been. Japan only got the first two games and they didn't go over well there, so they didn't get very many more if any.

But Krome was Austrailian, so Spyro was an Aussie for a while....

Oh...
Mkay, cool.

Heh, true. Although his development team (writers, franchise heads, marketing, etc.) was American even when the game making companies were not.

I've heard that Spyro: A Hero's Tail was the only game to be made in Europe. He's been all over the place hasn't he?

Ah.

Dawn of the Dragon is my personal favorite game in the series. *sniped* *shot* *brick'd* *flamed* *stabbed*

I'd like to see Spyro handed to a Japanese developer sometime...I have a couple in mind....

Ninty?
That's what your thinking isn't it.

While they could do something great, no, that has next to no chance of happening.....

I've got an idea for Spyro...

I have a few.

*cough*EA*cough*

It always felt like to me that Enter the Dragonfly was made in Japan because of the Dragonfly Dojo, but then again the voice-overs were American.

And pandaland in YotD.

Go to the Japanese games. They're 4. (Two of them are handheld)

Well, there you go. Japan really didn't care much for Spyro and if you've ever seen what they did to StD and RR you might not want them mucking about with the franchise now.

Except Asia, South America, and Africa.........and Mars.

Imagine that. Spyro in Mars. That'd be a bad game.

Oh gawd.

If Activision can think of Space CoD, it will only be a matter of time that they take another franchise and put it in space. Spyro will be the guinea pig.

I seen videos of those. I don't see what the problem would be. And they only had a language change, and a camera change.

Easy. Nobody in Japan was interested, and the game sold poorly. That's why they stopped making them there.

No, I was responding to how Razz said " if you've ever seen what they did to StD and RR you might not want them mucking about with the franchise now."

Meh. Doesn't matter much. The games didn't sell, so they stopped sending them there.

This all spawned when I was saying how I would like a Japanese DEVELOPED Spyro game. I wasn't referring to sales. I couldn't careless about sales figures.

You should care about sales. If it sells well, then they make another game.

And a Japanese developed game? Get Nintendo or Capcom to make the game and your set.

I know that, but I'm never too worried about my favourite franchises selling well, seeing as they are popular, for the most part.

Nintendo - Would be awesome, especially if it were Classic style.
Capcom - Not much of a fan, but they seem like fine developers.
Square Enix - Definitely for TLoS type thing, or any RPG-like thing.
Konami - They made MGS, a very story driven game.....they would be perfect for TLoS.
Namco - These guys could probably do any type of Spyro game to an at least decent level.
Sonic Team - ......Come on.....they have some great ones in there...*shot*

Sonic Team and Square Enix wouldn't do good. Sonic Team is Sonic Team, and Square Enix only does well with their own franchises, not others' *coughMarioSportsMixcough*

Haven't played that. But to be fair, that was a sports game anyway.....I rarely like them...
However, I loved Mario Slam Basketball, and thats made by Squenix.

And I think Sonic Team would be good. Spyro is definitely easier to handle than Sonic, and they started on the right track at Secret Rings. And the handheld games were awesome.

Secret rings was a meh.Sonic Unleahsed was awesome.

Secret Rings > Unleashed

FANBOY WAR AHOY!

Unleashed >>>>> Secret Rings

Unleashed (whichever sign means beats) Secret Rings n__n

Make that fanboy and fangirl war!

I didn't know you played Secret Rings, Darby...

I guess I'm in the minority here.

Sorry guys, but the werehog stages and how many there were completely murdered the game for me.

Methinx they were fun.

Nope, I haven't, just saying that because I love Unleashed. Don't know about Secret Rings yet. Yeah, I'm being the unfair one here. ._.

Hm...

I hated those stages. I felt like the game was doomed upon hearing about the werehog, but I never thought the majority of the game would be that.

That's only the case on Wii/PS2. I didn't really like the Werhog on Wii, though the later stages were alright.

And we are quite off-topic.

Well I have it for Wii. And that version has gotten higher reviews than any other version.

Indeed we are.

Yes we are

I thought you said you don't trust reviewers?

I didn't say that.
