I don't necessarily want something EXACTLY like the classics, but something that makes you think and gives you some kind of variety and different options would be awesome! Enough of this overly simplified button mashing spam attacking already!

Actually, this game looks like the start of Spyro's button smashing games, TBH. Just look at what the whole trailer comprises of...

It seriously is not the start of it, we've had it through three games.

LoS was like that (it certainly had more of that than platforming) and I don't see you complaining.

And how's about we wait for more footage?

LoS was not a button masher. There were a lot of moves, and the enemies were challenging. ANB was the only one with a lack of platforming. This looks worse than ANB to me, though.

I've given them enough time to show new footage.

It was a button masher to me. All 3 of them. I kept hitting the X button (AN or the B button (TEN and DotD), and then I would do some jumping around.

The game is still in the Alpha stages. You're not suppose to expect footage that early. Just because Sega did it for SG doesn't mean it's the new standard for how much footage is shown at once, especially considering what stage it's in (in terms of development).

This has got nothing to do with SG. Many games show plenty of footage in the alpha stages (including other Sonic games). I don't see why they haven't done so with this.

Maybe it's because they want to save for E3? Have you ever thought about that?

Yeah, where it gets overshadowed...real smart...because showing it at the other game conferences earlier in the year would of been so stupid...

I bet that at the E3, they'll show...

1, More pictures, and more levels, which we probably don't need, but it'll be cool.

2, More of the plot, which I think we need.

3, Every character, which is a definite must have.

4, What the boss fights are like, we don't really need that, but it'll be cool.

5, The game to the ESRB, okay, that will be neat to the U.S. we'll see what the other ratings are like.

6, Pictures on the other consoles.

And 7. The true release date, but I think we already have that.

So ISO better get ready for the next set of information, because it's not only going to be big. It's going to need more reserved spaces on the next page.

I hate it when people use text language, it is so annoying because I can never understand it or forget the meaning, first of all, what's ESRB, and second, ISO? The forum is not meant for text messaging, it's not a mobile phone, lol.

It wasn't text speak ESRB is the company that does the age ratings for games. ISO is the user here who made this topic and who edits the info posts.

All I ever had to do was press o and x over and over while moving forward. As for challenging, I think tedious time consuming and boring are more accurate terms. As for there being alot of moves, Spyro did alot of differnet motions but he seemed to just do that anyway. Press o over and over and he'll spin and flip and jab his horns in all kinds of directions but you're still just pressing o.

ESRB is the age rating system for video games in America. It's the same initials you see on the front of the box of games in America. Like how England has PEGI.

iSO is the creator of this topic. It's also a file extension...

Austria,switzerland,france,italia and other european country has Pegi too.
Germany is the only country in european that has his own videogame rating system its called USK.

I'm guessing you don't really like action games, and find them boring. Not the same for me.
The fact you kept using the same button over and over is probably why you found it time consuming.

Something XSparxX found(). More confirmation of a 3DS version, and a possible release date(most likely for the US, as this is a GameStop list).

No, I tried using other buttons but it's still repetitive. The only moves that acutally depend on what button you push are the horn jab, change, flame, aerial kick, and random melee. I tried mixing it up but it all did a similar amount of damage and in the end it was all just button mashing. I say time consuming because I would end up fighting one continuous horde for ages without ever really getting anywhere. The whole game only takes me a few hours to complete.

Also, I like action games just fine as long as it feels like action istead of just looking like action. By that I want to feel like I'm actually getting somewhere, doing something, and accomplishing something. In LOS it was all just so repetitive. Go through here, cutscene, crowd of enemies, buttom mash fighting, leave into next area, repeat.

We must of been playing two totally different games then...

That's the next big conference.

Alright guys, we're in drought mode - after four (4) weeks have been passed, there is still no new info revealed between those very weeks, and today. The status from the first post has been updated to reflect the current situation.

I've just checked the E3 website and once again Activision will attend. However, from what I know, the map layout has not been released. Here are the details for those who will attend:
http://e311.mapyourshow.com/3_...&markcamefrom=y

Speaking of E3, I would like to remind you guys that the event will start on the second week of June (June 7 [Tuesday] to June 9 [Thursday]). It is about 30 days away from there. Expect surprises, and disappointments within the area just like every other E3 events. xP

Now, time for some responses:

• @Forgotten World - post #1088: There is certainly no doubt that a new flood of info will arrive, very impeding indeed! I might have to do something about this since there's a character limit for each post on this forum. Plus, I have to update this the very same for the Spyro Forum website. I might have to switch to something that will resolve both obstacles, maybe Google Docs will do.
  
• @GamingMaster_76 - post #1114: Thank you for that link, but I think it goes more into the rumor realm. Whether or not it is true, I will not add this to the main posts in order to keep the info accurate.
  
• @Anyone derailing the topic: Please keep the discussion of the latest game in the Spyro franchise on-topic. When you are talking one-on-one, you should move the conversation towards PMing instead, or create an discussion in the Off-Topic section. Thank you.
  

And off to ponies...! Or sleeping. (I hope this won't derail it - HINT HINT)

Thats why I said possible.

People need to stop being so lazy as this is a forum and not a text message service.

Button Mashing is all leads to Victory, In ANB and TEN mashing did not help..you needed specific moves

I got through the game easily (with small exceptions to TEN, mostly because of the camera), and half of the time I was simply beating people up, ergo button mashing.

I like the way people who like button mashing games try and give out excuses just because they like that game. People say that the classics are too simple, which is what I like about them, lol. Just one hit to kill an enemy, simple, no messing about having to try to kill it and staying in the same position feeling like it is going on forever.

Activision posted their page on Skylanders in their media section, nothing new posted though.

Especially Gaul in TEN. It took forever to get him down without breath attacks. Sometimes, I would try and rush things a bit and I would end up getting killed.

I couldn't get very far in TEN, thought it was impossible, just kept getting stunned from attacks of enemies, and you would be stunned for ages, and you can't do nothing about it, it's like Spyro is so vulnerable in that game.

Gaul was easy...doing the first part of the fight as Dark Spyro, however...*3 quarters of the way, 3 QUARTERS OF THE WAY!!!....*

Quote: sonicbrawler182

That's what I did. I honestly don't remember when I beat him as normal Spyro.

Wait, how did you do him as Dark Spyro if you didn't beat the game first? Cheats?

No. I did beat the game, but several years ago to the point where I don't remember how I did so. I recently re-played the game as Dark Spyro.

Oh, OK.

So, I'm hoping I may see something at E3 that changes my mind about this game. I don't expect to though, as the game is pretty far into development.

I don't know what to expect but I am interested.

Alpha stage isn't that far into the game. Things can change, even if it's in Beta.

I think it will probably be minor things that will change, like the graphics.

But the gameplay idea won't change. And neither will the toy thing. Things will change, but not too drastically. If they show new characters who look like they are especially fun, I MIGHT reconsider. Also, if we see more platforming, I may get it, but I'm not counting on that.

Gameplay and the toys definately won't change, but maybe level design, I don't know.

I still don't see how the gameplay is so dull and such, since it looks familiar to LoS' style of gameplay (or at least DotD). And from what I recall, you enjoyed that, Brawler.

It looks like a watered down DotD. That's what I don't like.

To me, it just looks like it is over simplifying.
It would be like making a sequel to Sonic Colours, only taking out the Wisps, Springs, Dash Panels, Drift, Quick Step, Sonic Boost, and Co-Op. You would be left with just Jump and Homing Attack.

How do you know that this game will be too bland, you've only seen a small trailer that doesn't show you that much.

It showed off the gameplay for what it was. If there was much else we needed to know, they would of showed us. The "heavy RPG elements" had me interested, but after hearing more about them, I am not interested. However, that is one thing I expect to change.

Stay glued to the website to get more news, ergo more hits, and more money
Buy the product
(in the case of TV) Tune into the program, therefore getting them more money

It's a business stratagy that works, even though it may piss some people off.

Here's another update about Skylanders:

It's kind of crazy, and they put a lot of investment into it, you'd think they would talk about it more. Considering it's something new and nothing they have done before, probably because they don't want to give too much away, or have we seen it all?
