Yessssssssss- In my opinion it isn't the same with out him. When Stewart left the music wasn't as good as it was ( like in hero's tail).

Although i did love the dawn of the dragon music, but it still doesn't match up to spyro 1,2,3,4.


Any Thoughts Please

Stewart Copeland was great for Spyro the Dragon, he did a few good tracks for Gateway to Glimmer and Year of the Dragon, but not all were great in my opinion, as I listened to Enter the Dragonfly's soundtrack, most of it to me was rubbish, there were only two or three tracks I didn't mind. I would much rather listen to A Hero's Tail, but then again saying that, I'm not really bothered about the music in that game either. If Copeland can do great like he did in the first Spyro game then yes, but the thing is, would that type of music go well with Skylanders? That is a tricky one since nobody has actually played that game, and who knows? Hans Zimmer may be pretty awesome at it.

I think if they worked with him as far as level and storyline goes, and combine the two to make a game where his music fits, the answer would be a definite yes.

However:

1) As stated in the post above, we don't know for sure that his music would fit. (Though I'm sure he could probably pull something off anyway.)
2) Last I heard he's reserved to concerts and such, not so much movie/game/show composition. That's what I picked up anyway, I might be wrong.

Chances of Steward Copeland returning to the Spyro series are very low. He's working on other projects..

Yeah but even if Copeland even did return to compose music for Spyro? Would you like that?

I wouldn't mind it..

No. He decided to move onto bigger projects. We cannot force him to come back. It's up to him, and after all these years it's pretty obvious that his mind is made up.

For one thing: Hans (freakin) Zimmer > Stewart Copeland

Spyro's not the same game anymore, so no. He needs to go do some better things.

Ah... I beg to differ. Personal taste, though. ;P

I had a theory that maybe it's because he hasn't done the music for the games. Just sayin', music is a big part of any game.

I actually want Rebecca Kneubeuhl to stay...and Hans Zimmer...

Well I was just saying what IF he did, lol. You should be more open minded.

I saw what Hans Zimmer does on Wikipedia, I'm not that bothered about his music.

I kinda wish Steve Jablonsky would score a Spyro game. I'd love his mix of electric guitar with full orchestras and choir. But Hans Zimmer's good too... he is Jablonsky's boss after all. ^.^;

^Steve would probably do a good job too, but Zimmer is better.

I just thought about something: What if Two Steps From Hell was composing? The entire soundtrack would be beastly.

Not quite that big I think.

Then why is it that almost every game has music?
If it wasn't that big of a part no one would use it. It creates a part of the feel of the game, really.

Critics don't say if a game is good or bad based on music; they do that based on GAMEPLAY. Which, uh, EVERYONE does.

music is a good percent of what gives a game it's feel, however, gameplay moreso.

critics do look at the music in a game as well.

Think of it this way...

A soundtrack can greatly impress or destroy a game/movie. It adds to the overall ambiance

Music is a big part of any game.

For example, Sonic 06 as a game was terrible, and so was the story and majority of the voice acting, but the soundtrack was brilliant, and really helped me endure getting all the achievements and beating all the DLC stages.

What is Copeland up to these days?

What is Copeland up to these days?

Last thing I heard he did was Gamelan D'drum in Texas - I almost attended that.

Other than that, I hear he has some ballads planned. Oh, and something about a live version of the old Spyro music, if his "I'll get right on it" was any clue. (You'd have to have seen the topic. )

I partly agree. But it cannot destroy a game. If I don't like the music in there, it's not that much of a problem. It's called a mute button. Then I could focus on the gameplay, which is what really makes or breaks the game. deBlob didn't have a good soundtrack (IMO), but it didn't take anything away from the game. It's still pretty good.

There is a better chance of it killing a movie, but even then, it's not that likely. For example, The Room wasn't a bad movie because of the mediocre soundtrack. It was a bad movie for horrible acting, a jumbled plot, and moments that really made things awkward ("So how's your sex life?")

If you hate the music in a game you can mute it and listen to a playlist you made of songs you think fit better.

In some games, you can even turn off the music, but still keep the sound effects and dialogue.

I can't even imagine Classic Spyro without Copeland's music.

I could easily image Spyro 1 without Copeland's music. The other two do well with their OSTs, but all but about 5 tracks from the first one are utterly boring or annoying.

I actually quite like the first games music. it's some of my favorite Spyro music. becuase it sounds the way it does, quirky and unusual make it great in my opinion. it actually has some of my favorite game soundtracks. actually, most of my favorite game sound tracks are from older games.

YES. HELL YES.

But he won't. I doubt he will ever come back.

And I loved ETD's music. Honey Marsh was so darn catchy.

The EtD soundtracks are also some of my favorite video game soundtracks. yes, Honey marsh is catchy...

I don't even know this person.
I do love the classic Spyro music. It was the best. DotD is pretty cool too I guess.

You ever heard of the band, the Police? Stewart Copeland is the drummer, and this is my favourite song that Stewart Copeland has been in:



Sounds better than Guide You Home in my opinion. Like there's more content.

Even better:



Go to 02:27.

Damn, used to love this show when I was 3

yes I think he shode he did the best music for the fist 3 spyro game I don't know if he did the 4th one

^ He did.

But I feel that because the game was rushed, he also had to rush the music....

It's still pretty good IMHO. I just love this one:

^ MEMORIES <3

Quote: Spyro-Gamer

Ok. I love his music. I mean I probably alrerady did, even though I didn't know who it was by.
Yes, he should come back!
I love this music, I have this game.

Ahhh, you love Etd'S soundtrack as well? it's good to have fellow EtD fans... whether it's of the music or the game itself...

Hey, a good artist that should compose for Spyro? Sean Murray...he did Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops. (WaW is the better of the two IMO.)

I think Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori could pull it off as well, they did the Halo series.

And Jesper KYD (composer of MDK2 and Assassin's Creed OSTS) would do a good job too.

Tommy Tallarico (MDK and numerous others) could make one too.

All I can say to all of them artists is no.

hell yes.

Quote: Spyro-Gamer

I wonder if he did the music for Lofty Castle. That has to be my favourite level music from Spyro 1.

If you mean stewart copeland... then yes he did do lofty castle's music he composed the music for the first four Spyro games, actually!

Stewart Copeland In The Police Is Amazing!

I love Lofty Castle's music.

It's my fave music in the whole Spyro franchise. <3

*Listening to Ice King Boss music from ANB*

Sorry, but I stand behind Rebecca Kneubeuhl and whatever else composed LoS soundtracks. This boss theme is one of my favorites ever.

no surprise there
