Does the Floating Isles in DotD make anyone think of Dream Weavers from Spyro 1, or is it just me?

I does. The producers may have referenced the Dream Weavers world with their Floating Islands.

I never really thought about it, but I've always believed that LoS is set many years before Spyro 1.

Except it's in a completely different universe.

Yeah, but I've still seen some pretty good evidence. The designers could easily change that if they wanted.

yea, they kinda wouldn't be able to connect. one example: that would involve spyro meeting hunter twice O.o

If it was set so many years in the future, Hunter could be an alternative, it wouldn't be the same Spyro or Hunter

Then why would they have to connect?

Here's a good example:

There's others out there too, that's just the one I found.

Well, that they could do, that they could do... but I don't think they would though.

I have always thought there is a possible connection. It's fun to try establish one. The only thing I can't work out is how the dragons got modern technology(Classic Spyro). One things for sure though:
The next game will probably be LoS and clear up some things.

Same way we did.

Umm... what was that again?

they get modern tecnology the same way we did... It was invented.

One thing that baffles me is how we got from cavemen to having things like the internet. Oh well, that's for me to figure out elsewhere!

I'm not exactly keen on tLoS but I am respectable to both opinions on each series, therefore in simple words; "I don't give a toss about either anymore"

I don't believe in the cave man thing but that is a different conversation.

It is still ridiculous how we once only looked at lightning in the sky and now we have it in our kitchens,bedrooms,living rooms,etc...

this is kinda going off topic here so to get back on topic: I hope the next spyro game can be successful and get spyro back on track.
then there may actually be a day where we'll see things like a movie and maybe spin-off games and all the stuff most popular game series have.

That'll be good, bu I'm not keen on a movie of any video game series... they usually go wrong.

Well, I kinda meant going from having no technology to what we have now. But yeah, off topic.

Personally, I think Spyro is fine. There are tons of fans supporting him.

Agreed.

I am one of the people who actually like DotD, so I will definitly get Spyro's Kingdom.

I quite liked Dawn's graphics.

Anybody have any idea what Kingdom's about?

nope, not a clue.and I think spyro has a good fanbase but compared to Mario, guitar and dj hero and other popular franchise its nowhere near as big. so if the next game were to be a hit then spyro could get back up there as a really popular gaming franchise, you know what i'm getting at?

Yeah, I have it on 360, one of the best looking games I've seen. 2008 was a great year for graphics!

Nothing has been announced, but if this old interview is anything to go by, it will be set in the LoS universe:

But with Activision changing things, who knows?

And GameInformer deleted the interview long ago.

I think the next game is gonna be really good or is gonna ruin spyro. who knows what activision is doing?

Yeah, but remember, the ETD/AHT period was a dark time for the Spyro franchise, popularity wise. LoS got Spyro a recognizable identity again. From a money stand point, Activision would be unwise to can LoS.

There unwise for a lot of things already aren't they?

It depends though..... If they can regenerate the classic series, they have potential. I don't mind what series it's set in, but Activision can go either way with either series now.

Activision+Classic Spyro=A bad idea

Seriously, Activision would ruin Classic Spyro. Let's just stick with the slightly more violent trilogy. Activision are used to creating violent games anyway.

Lol, violent? TLoS is a kids game still, I'd hardly even use that word tbh.

DotD was a commercial flop, so it's always an idea that the Different Direction does involve classic series somehow. We don't know.

It's definitly more violent than the Original series.

Spyro has never been as commercially successful as he was in the original trilogy, and probably never will be again.

Oh yeah. But I still don't think it's really that violent, tbh. I still treat it as a kids series.

He probably won't be, but ANB sold far better than most - But the question remains, was it because people didn't realise the change (myself included at the time) and then lost interest? Or was it because TEN was too hard and got lesser reviews?

Activision will need to work out the best route, which isn't always as simple as we may think. That's why I don't believe it's set in stone it will be the Legend series, but at the same time I'm not saying it's a higher chance it will be classic.

Lol, IGN actually lied in their TEN review!

I myself, only gained interest in the summer. When I first seen ANB on sale, I didn't realise it was a reboot. But I stopped playing Spyro at that point anyway. But I am back supporting the little guy again!

I think LoS deserves to continue on and develop, both storywise and gameplay wise.

I think its gonna be in the Los universe but it will have lots of elements from the old spyro. that would be a good move in my opinion since lots of fans seem to like the idea. but who really knows for a little bit we thought it could of been an MMO.

I don't think the spyro will ever be as popular as he was before(at least not without one great game) but the next game hopefully will accomplish something.

Also, I think that Tlos was much more violent then the old games. still a kids game but more violent surely.

I actually like the idea of both series being connected. I've always imagined since the beginning of TEN that TLOS was the past of the Original Spyro.

Hey, that made me think of something. The game, Spyro's Kingdom, the kingdom might have been made long ago, when Legend Spyro excised. And now, many years later, original Spyro sees the kingdom, and walks in side and gets told stories and all that. Which is why the name is called Spyro the Legend: Spyro's Kingdom.
Just an idea.

DarkCynder.. I don't think Aura's trying to kick you out of this topic. You can discuss the positive parts of both series all you want here. She just doesn't want you to bring up how much TLoS sucks, or how much better Original is. This is a topic for why you like both series.
And the idea of liking both.. Pointless? If that's what you think, then it's pointless for you to post here, anyway. I can't see how enjoying Original Spyro and TLoS is a "pointless idea"?.. Some people have just gotten sick and tired of the stupid arguments about how much one series suck, and which side is better, and don't like to take sides unless they feel it's neccassary.

But the thing is, I wasn't dissing TLOS, if that's what you're thinking. And about that pointless idea, Aura said that in her post,

Quote:

Listen, if you don't like both Spyros, and only like one side of the Spyro franchise, then don't come on this topic. It's that simple. And yet you guys still come on here and post your pointless disagreements about the idea of liking both Spyros. Why bother coming on here? Don't waste your time. This topic isn't for one-side Spyro fans. And comments containing something that is against liking both Spyros will only cause pointless arguments. I'm sorry if I sound mean or anything related, but really, why bother posting here if you don't like both Spyros??

but I accidentally made it seem like I said that I believe that liking both series was pointless... I was responding to that little bit. My mistake, I was in a rush, because it was nearly midnight and I had to go to bed....

Thank you, Darby. If any Spyro fans who don't like the idea of liking both Spyros, think it is pointless, or don't like changes in the Spyro franchise, then don't bother wasting your time posting here. It's THAT simple.

*facepalm*

What? You don't like the idea of not posting on a topic because it won't permit you to post about the downsides of the changing Spyro franchise?

No.... I never said that...

And this is going to start an argument. All I want is to be able to chat along, and be able to point out faults (heck, there are faults in the original series too. It's far too easy), that's it.

Well, you seem to be bothered by it.

I don't want arguments to start either.

Darn it, you saw the post before I could edit it.

Yes I did.

How could you.

It's how I roll. X3

Haha
So DarkCynder, you can be included in this topic. This is just a topic where we try not to favour either series and to talk about the positive sides of both series. Glad to see it's worked out..

Can someone remind me.. what were the Dream Weavers, again? Does anybody have a screenshot or anything? I haven't played Spyro one in years.

Here:

http://spyro.wikia.com/wiki/Dream_Weavers

I love that place :3

Oh yeah! I kinda remember that place! And they're very similar. Isn't there another place kind of like the Floating Islands from the Original series, or is it just that one?

To me, it just proves that TLOS can be the past of original Spyro if done right. Sheila said that dragons lived in the Forgotten Worlds long ago, so Legend Spyro could have lived there. And some places in TLOS can be related to levels in the original Spyro universe. Cloud Spires is similar to Floating Islands IMHO.

The thing I love about Dream Weavers (and Spyro 1 in general) is the enemies! I love the way they just go "DOW" when you kill them!

I loved shrinking the big enemies with that cannon. >:3

You know something: The moons that are seen in Spike's Arena are exactly the same as the Celestial Moons in the LoS trilogy.

That just confused me to no end, Aura! when I saw those pictures of the moons in this topic I didn't notice that this wasn't the same topic as the other one that you posted the pic's in. after you posted it in the other topic I left a comment on the moons in ETD. so when I saw the pic's here with no comments after them I thought, " wait, what happened to my post? " then I thought to myself " oh no, did I post my comment in the right topic?" then I looked at what topic I was on and noticed that it was a different topic and I went to the other one and saw my post and the same pic's there.

You have no Idea how much you just confused me, Aura! lol!
