darkSpyro

I, for one, love his new design. I think he's cute!

But as they say, hater's gonna hate.

Quote: Gwenio

It would if you what the complete experience. They are chopping it up and you cannot even get the full game on your platform of choice.

It's offering variety for the systems. Exclusive items. Nobody complains about that when the Joker was made only available on the PS3 copy of Arkham Asylum. Nobody complains about how Black Ops First Strike is exclusively on Xbox Live. What makes Spyro so special?

OMG Spyro looks ugly... 8O

All of my hate

Spyro has never looked uglier.

If they can't make him look like what he used to in the beginning, I'd rather want the series dead than being humiliated like this.

I'm okay with that

WOOHOO!

Anyone seen this?

I don't like this new Spyro at all, I prefer the other versions

I like the look of it. I don't see the point in complaining really. You don't like it? Well keep it to yourself because NO ONE CARES.

Does anyone know how big the portal of power is going to be? I really don't want a huge ugly piece of plastic like that in my house.

Anyway, if the game is crap, than at least you have the cute little figures.

*laughs*

What is that? He looks funny.

Other than that, the game might be fun, but this is Activision so I'm not holding my breath.

Meh, I'd try it but I don't like how Acti ssaid they were going to continue to TLoS series but now give this.

It's like saying I'll give you an ice cream later, but never do.

They probably changed their minds. And made their own Spyro game.

Technically, Sierra said they were gonna continue TLoS...

Yes but they were absorbed by Activision. And Activision claimed they were going to do the same. I guess they changed their minds.

Seriously, WTF is THAT????

As a first look, it's even worse than nothing. (Just because I'm a fan of the Legend-series.)

This is that "other direction" which made the Spyro movie to be cancelled!!!

No need to double post, you can edit your comment to add more content.

I hate how people are hatin' on the game already... >.>

The only think I find bad so far is Spyro's awful design, but if the game's good I'll get over it.

Watch the trailer or look at another screenshot that's from a side view and you'll change your mind... That screenshot isn't the best image...

Spyro still looks pretty bad and the game seems to be deviating badly from the classic series, which is to expected during a reboot (Seriously stick iwth a single series people).

It looks epic.

Hmm, short, stubby, spotty, one eye bigger than the other...
I dunno, I don't seem to care much for this design, looks slightly better than previous design (DotD), But I'm really looking at the gameplay and if it'll feel like the classic series, like AHT or YotD...

Ok, I'm going to say this nice and slow: graphics and designs don't make a bloody game.

You guys wanted a game to resemble the Classics. You got it. You didn't like the DotD designs and wanted them gone. You got it. And you still have the balls to complain? Especially about the new design? Insomniac isn't making the game. If you want that precious old design, just play the Insomniac games. How's about you play the game before you decide that you don't want it?

My god, this is Sonic 4 all over again.

Well this is what Gamespot will say. Here you go, have a game label called disappointing.

Don't judge it so soon.
Plus, I feel the same way about DotD.

I personally have to agree.

Yes but they're hating for all the wrong reasons. If they said "I don't like the way the gameplay looks" then fine. But why complain about the design and then say that Spyro's dead?

Overreacting response?

Wait...I read about "action figures"? It's like Spyro goes Dungeons and Dragons...

Overreacting response?

Wait.....who's overreacting? Me or them? I personally think both.

Them, the fans who are overreacting over Spyro's design so badly that they think Spyro's dead.

So far I don't like it but I do like it... (crazy, I know)

The whole toy thing seems childish. I know that seems to be what they are aiming for, but it's odd how they choose to make a game that's meant to be for all ages and now they're making THIS. On top of that, like most have said, the design looks ugly, and since (in my opinion) Activision is usually pretty good at designing Spyro, I don't think they really tried with that picture. Just my opinion. Hopefully they won't be keeping it.

Even so, I'm just grateful to finally get some news. And who knows? Maybe it won't be so bad. We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

So true.
I mean, people say that they don't mind the graphics of PS1s or Gameboys, but when a game with the slightest wrong graphic comes out we end up in trouble.

What...The...Heck?? Spyro's some mutated zombie dragon now?? Oh dear Lord I think I am going to die....

It looks weird, but the Gameplay, we have no idea what it'll be like.
May be the best gameplay yet.

Err ... Even if the game-play was great, and the storyline was awesome ... I'd have to play as that thing! Seriously, I could've made a better appearance of the purple dragon. This version looks like a demon/dinosaur ... thing!

What I also find VERY annoying is that they didn't use the original tradition of the Spyro logo! Now it sticks out like a sore thumb in the Games menu... Tsk, tsk tsk...

So how the Game looks in terms of Design are more important than the Gameplay?
It may look weird, but its a nice change from the DotD designs.
Plus, we have no idea if the gameplay is going to be good. If the gameplay is spetacular, with a solid storyline, I'd love it. Even if the graphics were crap.

That is the only Downside I see as of yet.
Even tLoS kept the original Spyro logo.

This just isn't the same spyro........
looks like anyone who gets this will have to spend a lot of money. If all the Action figurines are sold separate.
Spyro looks like one of those spore creatures......disappointed

I personally see the "Toy" part of the game Uncalled for.
And as P-S said, they deleted the old Spyro Logo.

But I'm not jumping to conclusions until I've played the game, or at least a Demo.
Then I can judge whether its Worthy to go on my True Spyro Game Colection or if it'll go on my Fail'd game Collection.

You know, a person who sees furry art of your game character usually thinks at that time their childhood is ruined...

BUT THIS ABOMINATION JUST DID IT INSTEAD A FEW YEARS LATER!

That is not Spyro. THAT IS NOT SPYRO! At least the Legend of Spyro Trilogy makers TRIED to make it some what resemble the old spyro!!!
BUT THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE A MC DONALDS HAPPY MEAL TOY ANIMATED IN A 3D RENDERING SOFTWARE!

SPYRO ISNT PROBABLY EVEN A MAIN CHARACTER! THEY PROBABLY JUST SLAPPED HIM IN AT THE LAST MINUTE AND ADDED "Spyro's Adventure" ALONG WITH IT!

Activison...

I HOPE YOU GO BANKRUPT.

Actvision has caused certain greif for most fans of Spyro.
But still, do we really value how Spyro Looks over the Gameplay, story and Characters?
I just hope they don't make Spyro "Emo" again like in DotD.

God, what have they done.

Bought back a Bright Happy atmosphere where you chase sheep, eat Butterflies, just like the older games everybody has been demanding to adapt the style to?

People, just chill. Graphics don't matter.
Do the Graphics in Spyro 1 Matter to you? Do the graphics in Spyro 2 matter to you? Nope, its the Gameplay, teh construction, the Worlds. I seriously don't know why people hate it so much just because of the Designs. At least, as I have repeated, the Atmosphere is light and happy.
