darkSpyro

^ yes. I agree with this. Im not spending over 300 bucks on some toys i probably wont use... only the most important :3

And im too lazy to bother reading all the posts in this topic. So incase this isnt already in here, the game will be on all platforms, not just wii and 3ds. No, no more ps2 or ps1.

Me to, i'm not into the odder looking creatures like the tree or lava guy. Though I might have to try out the shark so I can pretend i'm playing Ripster from Street Sharks.

I won't get them all.
Just Spyro, Gill, Stealth, Ignitor, Dragons, Gryphons, Unicorns, and any old characters.

Wonder who will voice Spyro in cutscenes...?

Dunno...

Y'know, that whole calibre of VAs comment, makes me think that those who say there will be little story are wrong. The reason: It's not accurate to say that the VAs will be good if they don't talk enough for you to get a good idea of the sound of thier voice so there must be a good deal of dialouge. If they talk a fair bit, there must be somthing to talk about, and if there's something to talk about, it's gonna be about the story. So chances are the game will have a full story, acted out by ALL 30+characters and maybe some NPCs. BUT you just won't be able to play as the characters until you buy the toy.

Get what I'm saying?

How wrong you are....

Many games I know have little story, but lots of voice acting.

Sonic Colours is a prime example. It too had "hyped voice actors" and highly revered writers, yet the game has hardly any story (at least for the Wii version. I hear the DS version has a deeper story). Most of the voice acting is just jokes and random banter between Sonic and Tails, as well the PA annoncements Eggman makes during gameplay.

The first LittleBIGPlanet had lots of voice acting and little story....the voice acting was just Stephen Fry narrating for tutorials!

In fact, as soon as I saw the plot for Skylanders, I got the vibe that there would be a narrator and not many characters talking.

Personally, I would prefer this. Looking at the character designs(including Spyro), I fear they will get annoying voices for the characters.

I personally think Spyro shouldn't be mute... Hehe, Stephen Fry should play Spyro and Alan Davies should be every other character

If Spyro isn't mute, then he should talk similar to Sonic the Werehog. It's the only fitting voice I can think of that would be tolerable.

If they got Stephen Fry narrating this or something, they would be legends!

From his appearance, it seems a more animalish-voice would only be suiting..

If you listen to some of the vids on this thread, when spyro appears, about to be played, he growled or something.

He does growl when he's about to enter the game.

OH GOD DON'T TELL ME SPYRO CAUGHT MARIO SYNDROME! That would be awful. <.<;

Played both and the storylines really aren't that different.

Jak didn't have a voice in Jak and Daxter, and that that game was good.

Yeah, but there is more characters in the DS version.

But they aren't really major.

It's still something extra though.

.....Sooo....what's goin' on with Skylanders now?

Nothing new. We're waiting for Activision to possibly spill more info at the game developer's conference in San Francisco.

when would that be?

From tomorrow to March 4th.

Meh, I'm planning on getting Spyro, the black griffon, the phoenix dragon, the water dragon, and a few other upcoming characters that interests me, not all +30..

Same here. I'm getting Spyro (of course), Gill Grunt, the black griffin, the red feathered dragon and the water dragon. That's it. I'm not planing on getting all +30 toys.

Whoa, wait a minute! Look to Trigger Happy's left. You'll see two white things on the wall. Look at the highest one. Now look to the right of that, just next to it. Am I insane or does that look a little like Terrador's head?

Just look next to that high white thing on the wall to the left of and behind Trigger Happy. What I'm reffering to is mostly next to, but a little behind that.

I don't see any white thing. XD

If I get the game, I'll probably just get Spyro, and possible whatever other dragons there are.

I'm getting whatever toys I can get my hands on... And what with my Mum not wanting me to fill up my tiny room with 'pointless junk' and that my Dad will think that this is for little kids, I'm not going to get many.

The toys i'll get are spyro, feather dragon, water dragon, stealth elf, and grill grunt. but spyro and gill grunt when the game comes out.

I found an article that uncovers the theory that you'll need more than one character to access certain parts of the levels.


http://www.bsckids.com/2011/03...ture-highlight/

Read the article....still not convinced...

Seriously, other than the toys, what IS the cool thing about this game? This guy says it's great, but doesn't say exactly what is great about the gameplay.

still not convinced of what?

I know the author wasn't really specific about things. He's definitely a father that writes from his inner-child perspective.


I was just pointing out that it'll be impossible to play the game 100% with just one character.

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you!

I still don't see any reason for me to buy this game, that's what I meant.

Another interesting look at Skylanders while Toy Fair occured: http://www.bsckids.com/2011/03...ture-highlight/

I don't trust him in regards to the dialogue and writing being good.....he says he watches Disney Channel....

Oh, dear God. D:

You said Disney Channel?

Then we're all doomed..........

I like how you guys completely ignored the rest of his post. The guy's got two little kids who are right in the age demographic the game is aiming for; of course he watches the Disney channel! When you're old enough to babysit, you'll find yourself watching it, too, whether you like it or not. Again, this just proves that Activision not only knows it's target audience but is succeeding in appealing to it already.

Yeah, did you guys even bother to read the rest of the post in the link, instead of just listening to sonicbrawler about the dad watching Disney Channel, along with his kids?

I thought it was particularly neat that his wife, who didn't seem overly interested in games at all, wanted to play when she saw the demo. At this point, it looks like the only people who aren't going to be interested are the whiny Spyro fans with the entitlement complex.

Yeah, it's a sign that the targeted audience are going to like Skylanders and get them hyped up X3

Apparently not....

But that's pretty cool. More parents need to spend time with their kids these days.

And I'm glad the target audience is liking the upcoming Skylanders by playing the demos.

Yeah, I'm hoping this game is for "Everyone" quite literally.

The game I'm assuming will probably be straigh E. E10+ is even better.

KA? Oh my God, I'm abandoning all hope and never getting this game if they slam a K to A rating on it.

seems good,
great way to get rich though

I thought SSA was aimed more at younger boys, not wannabe tween girls?

No, it is aimed at a younger audience, both boys and girl gamers.

First, I read the whole article.
Second, he said he genuinely liked Disney Channel(which is fine, BTW).
Thirdly, I have babysitted many times and have never had to submit myself to watching an awful show.
Fourthly, saying "of course he watches Disney Channel" makes no sense. My sister watches it, but do my parents? Nope....
And finally, that post from me was kind of meant to be taken humoursly. You and Aura didn't...

Why is it you misinterpret nearly everything I say?

Well, your post looks like you were taking it way too seriously like it's a big deal for a father to watch Disney Channel with his two kids.

No, it's not a big deal at all....

What I meant was, I, and many other people, don't like Disney Channel. This guy does, AND he liked the Skylanders story. So I did the math...

I wasn't making fun of him, I'm just saying it does genuinely raise my concern for the storyline. But then again, I shouldn't bother, as the gameplay hasn't impressed me so far.

I'm not too concerned just yet. It depends on what he watches on the Disney Channel..... Whenever I visit DLRP, I watch Disney Channel, just for the re-runs of shows like Aladdin, Lilo & Stitch, Timon & Pumbaa, etc.

Like I said, I think it's great that he watches with his kids. He probably has an idea what kids want more than many.

I watch shows with kids, but fortunately, I like most of them, and the ones I'm not fond of aren't too bad.

Sheesh, I thought that post was meant to be posted as a joke.

I'm not really keeping up with all the Skylanders updates D:

It's been happening a lot recently....

And there weren't actually any updates, just one or two new articles.

Seems so serious.. :/

And ehh, oh, okay. Nothing big. I don't feel so interested in Spyro lately, which makes me upet, because I've always been interested with Spyro (obsessed?) And right now I'm feeling less interested than I ever have, with the exception of a few years ago, I guess, when I forgot Spyro existed.
But I'm still highly interested with TLoS and love those games, too bad they're left in the dust. :/ But that doesn't stop me from not forgetting them! I guess the only thing I'm not interested in is this new game.. Just doesn't seem my type of game.
