This is what I get for officially trying to play the entire Spyro series from start to finish.

Insomniac just loves guns, and they wanted to somehow incorporate that into the Spyro games I guess.

You should have started playing the games from the beginning, punk.

I played the games ever since I was three. I just started again recently.

Well, Insomniac did say (possibly joking, but I don't know for sure) that the reason they weren't going to make anymore Spyro games was that Spyro couldn't hold a gun.

And looking at every other game Insomniac has made: every single one is a shooter. This is what Insomniac specializes in, and has always specialized in (they made a shooter before they made Spyro, even). This is actually the reason I'm in the minority who does not want current-day Insomniac to touch Spyro. Spyro does not need guns, end of story. The times there were guns in Spyro, I hated it.

Twilight Harbor is the most stressful level in StD to me. Everything to do with Agent Nine is the most stressful part of YotD, and why I rarely make it past Evening Lake when I replay it. Tank fighting, UFO or not? Don't want to touch it. It might just be lack of a good dodging mechanic, but I really don't think guns are Spyro's style.

Yep, that was a joke. Insomniac had ideas for a fourth Spyro game but Universal opted not to renew their contract as developer for the series.

I wonder if Universal regretted doing that at the time of EtD's release? Most likely.

I doubt it since it was Universal who forced the studio to rush the game out the door for a holiday release when it needed about another year in development. Companies don't care about things the way fans or developers do (see also: the Krome team's disappointment with not being able to use all the story elements for characters they knew because ActiVision opted to switch developers part way through DotD's creation).

lol XD that's funny thought...
