darkSpyro

I honestly don't know what to think about the new game. I think it is going to be a nice change but unfortunately, the franchise still looks the same. The new game looks more action packed then its predecessors but I still can't bring myself to be excited about it. Which is surprising considering the fact I am writting a fanfiction series on Fanfiction.net based on this franchise. I was hoping that this game would take the franchise forward by bring a more mature edge to Spyro and his friends. What's wrong VU? Is it that difficult to do a decent mature Spyro game with a good story that allows Spyro and the rest of his friends to be fleshed out into more complete individuals? Never mind, sorry I even asked that question. So VU is going to go backwards in time and try and revise, revamp and reimagine Spyro's origin story. *sigh* The fact that this game is suppose to be a prequel worries me for some reason. I really think that this game is the start of a new cannon for Spyro. Many of you like the new look of this game I for one hope that the storyline is done well. Krome as this game maker or is it Sierra Entertainment... blast! I hate the way VU keeps shopping Spyro around like a orphan. I wish they would just stick with one development team and not the dozens they have used so far.

I am happy they are getting some Hollywood talent to do the voices of Spyro and the new characters but I still feel like VU is making the wrong changes to this franchise and making to many mistakes. I know many of you will disagree with me but think about it. The Spyro franchise has been 'running in place' storywise since the original trilogy of games that introduced the world to the little guy. Wouldn't most of you like to play a more grown up Spyro game that managed to balance out the best of the old gameplay elements and mix in some new elements that make things come alive again.

I want the new game to do well but I also realize that VU doesn't really know what they are doing when it comes to Spyro. I am not asking for perfection but I would like them to at least CARE about Spyro and his friends and do a proper story that takes the best elements of the past games and mix them with fresh new ideas that stay within story continuity and allows Spyro to tackle new challenges. How about a new Spyro game storyline that spans three games and uses a duel storyline formula. Throw in some new complex villians that are actually threatening and intelligent for change. Take Spyro and his friends to new locations or realms that have never been seen before. Introduce some new charaters and for once let them ALL play a part in the story. And no I am not talking about A Hero's Tale either. Do a rpgish type game with all the characters or at least make the gameplay deep enough to involve all the characters. I would like to play a Spyro game for once that begins and ends with some actual character development. Let's face it people no matter how good the new game sounds does it really live up to Spyro game you truly want.

Considering the amount money that VU is spending on this game I really think they should have considered taking Spyro forward and letting him finally break out of the stagnant mold they have him lock into. Instead they decide to take trip down their version of Spyro's memory lane. Hell, they could of at least brought in some of Spyro's original creators to put in their two cents storywise. I for one will play the new game but as of now I don't really like what VU are doing. Maybe I care too much about this character... I don't know but as a storyteller and writer I know this isn't the path or direction I would have taken if I was the one doing the story. Oh well, unfortunately, I am not the one doing it. Still it does look like it is going to be good game. I wish them luck with it.

I say that so long as Spyro and all of his friends can escape the skylanders, I'm happy. After all, the skylanders should have themselves an end, it has to come eventually.

Skylanders has gotten repetitive and lame. Spyro's adventure, though the purple dragon being ugly, was rather enjoyable. I found giants easy (too easy) but swap force? Come on! They're running outta ideas! Trap team? Oh.... crumbs.


I very much enjoyed tlos and I wish that they made a game with many tlos similarities such as: in depth plot line, great meelee moves and elements, furies (elemental furies! are epic) and much more. I personally love spyro's design by krome studios. I think he just looked like a proper dragon in my opinion. However, I think they could've used the characters from the classic series to e.g. Involve more female characters and make them absolutely AWESOME! 'Cause there were only TWO girls in tlos.

What's a high school AU?

And that's an interesting find there.
