darkSpyro

They look similar, but not the same. I'm willing to bet it was just a coincidence this time.

Yea, it could've been, but it's always fun to look at the possibilities!

I don't care if the new Spyro is different and 'dark', I still like both Spyros altogether.

I like light-hearted, "all about gameplay" games (Mario) and darker games with great storylines(Final Fantasy). So naturally, I like both Spyros. Even the Sonic games vary in tone.

For darker Sonic games there is Shadow The Hedgehog and Sonic 06.
For light-hearted there is Sonic Heroes and Sonic Colours.
And some games are a bit of both, like Sonic Adventure and Sonic Unleashed.

When it comes to humour, old Spyro was cartoony and also parodied other games, while LoS had a more mature sense of humour.

The moons do look somewhat similar. o.O

I like Classic and TLoS series
but I like Classic more because new Spyro was just too negative

If you like Old Spyro more and not both Spyros, why comment here?

^ He said he liked both series, but liked Classic Spyro more. What's so wrong with that? :\

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with it, considering a lot of people who post here still have some preference.....

Oh I misunderstood his comment. Sorry there...

That's okay. Mistakes happen.

It's ok
Just an opinion of mine
and I'm a "she"

Oh, my mistake.

I like both as well.

And I actually think that the darker setting is better. I play light hearted games, but I always perfer darker settings. It just feels better.

I like light hearted games more than dark games. I don't really know why.

I think it's mainly because the darker games tend to have more of a storyline, while the light hearted games don't seem to have that much of a storyline. I prefer games without that much of a storyline.

I didn't like dark Spyro, it's just not the same, and that would have scared me if I was 8, I just prefer the Classic design. (Spyro 2 is my favourite, Spyro 3 his eyes look too wide, lol)

Super, I know you prefer Classic Spyro instead of both Spyros...

When it comes to a light hearted VS dark tone, I like both equally. I play an equal amount of light hearted games as I do dark games:
Light Hearted - Classic Spyro, Crash, Mario, Certain Sonic games, Certain Zelda games, Banjo-Kazooie etc
Dark Tone - LoS, Certain Sonic games, Certain Zelda games, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Brutal Legend etc

Light hearted: Mario, Sonic, Classic Spyro, Crash, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Boom Blox, etc.

Dark: LoS Spyro, Ninja Gaiden, Army of Two, Gears of War, any other shooter out there, Force Unleashed, etc.

I wouldn't compare LOS to adult games like those.
The tone is darker and it's still kiddish as no one really dies/suffers or even bleeds or anythink like that

I think Cynder kind of did suffer a LOT, TBH!

You're right that she did suffer, a lot, but it wasn't really graphic or anything

Yeah, but I find losing your childhood much worse than any "ZOMG, ALIEN INVASION!" plot from a shooter.

Having probably been forced out into the world by Apes would've been a terrified experience too.

Ignitus did die in a fire (which doesn't make sense because Ignitus is a fire dragon), but then he seemed to come back to life as the Chronicler (I think?).... It would have been better if he got stabbed or something, and stays dead. But maybe visit Spyro in a dream or a vision or something (like how he visits Spyro at the end of DOTD).

Actually, I think games that are in between light hearted and dark are my fave. OoT is a good example. It's storyline is very dark, and a lot of the dungeons are dark and spooky (with somewhat scary music) like the Forest Temple, but a lot of places are bright and happy, like Hyrule field, and it's light hearted most of the time. I suppose it's not the best example....

IMO, Kingdom Hearts is more in between. Although the storyline is dark and complicated, the game's actually light hearted most of the time.

Yeah, I don't consider KH that dark either, for that reason.

I half agree. While it is quite light hearted at times, it really depends on who you are playing as:
Sora, Ventus: Light hearted
Riku, Roxas: Dark

Also, it only gets real dark towards the end.

I never really play dark games, it's either light hearted, or a bit of a mixture. I guess Tomb Raider is a mixture? Because I play that a lot.

Hm..... Still not as dark as many games I play though. Even in the uncut Japanese version, it's not as bad as many games I play.

Agreed. That game were you play as Roxas only is dark, but the main console games, were you play as Sora, are light hearted most of the time.

Have you played the new one? Ventus' story is quite tragic(the only story I have completed so far!)

I've never plated Final Fantasy. My friends always make fun of me for that

Dark... Hm, Okami was a nice blend of dark and light. It got pretty deep sometimes(Queen Himiko and Tobi)but still had some silly jokes. You get a boss drunk to beat him, no lie. Some enemies are also rather... Dense, like Blockhead. But some are so manipulative and deceiving it's scary(Ninetailed Fox). It's still my #1 favorite game of all time, number two being Kirby's Epic Yarn. After that I'd say the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series.

Ah, I love all the Spyro<3 Spyro the Dragon was the first game I ever played, I was scared of the vibrating controllers but when I saw my mom play it I just had to. Looking back... Gnasty Gnorc wasn't that big a boss It was more of a chase then fight.

I wouldn't of been suprised if he was just one of the thieves inside a big robot!

The mystery has been solved! I remember how mad I used to get at those little egg thieves. They drove me nuts!

I hate Kindom Hearts.

Meh. I just listed some dark games that I play. There are more, but I couldn't think of any others.

all of the freaking above....i agree to. BTW i LOVE KH (as you can infer)

Off topic a little here, guys...

What are we meant to be talking about on this topic anyway?

How you guys like both Spyros instead of taking part in constant flame wars, siding either with Classic Spyro or the New Spyro.

How are we meant to make a conversation from that? LOL, it's going to happen obviously.

Obviously, Super, this topic is for fans who like both Spyros instead of one. And I know you only like one Spyro..

Does anyone else see similarities between the two Spyros (as games and characters).

Not really. It's a reboot, nothing will be similar, well not nothing major will be the same.

It doesn't have to be major to be a similarity.

They're both purple and have a dragonfly friend called Sparx

Sorry, couldn't resist.

But that one is true!
Personally, I felt the platforming in TEN felt like AHT.

It did a bit, it seemed to use the same mechanics.

That's why TEN is my fave LoS game

I haven't played ANB yet, but I loved TEN and DotD. I think they are equal, except for the fact that DotD has much more lasting appeal for me, mainly because of Co-Op.

I didn't like ANB as much as TEN, but most people prefer it. You'll like/love it, I think!

One thing I did like about DotD was co-op. I just wish there more 'exploration' parts of the game though.

I think it had a lot of exploration as is, but I do agree. Stupid Activision, rushing the game....

I'm thinking on getting some MS Points at Christmas, so I can download ANB. I also want to get ETD, AHT and Spyro 3 somehow.
