Who Has Been a Spyro Fan Since the Insomniac Era? [CLOSED]

I have.

Now, who will be a fan of Spyro, no matter what? What if they reboot the series again sometime down the road? What if they Combine LOS and the Classics? What if they revert back to the Classics? What if they continue as is?

I grew up with Spyro since I was 4 or 5. I've been a fan for 6 or 7 years. I've played very Spyro game and beaten alsmost all of them. Most of the ones I've beaten were completed with 100%. I maintained faith in Spyro after ETD, and although I miss the Classics dearly I've been a fan throughout the LOS trilogy, and will continue to play all of the Spyro games no matter what. I'll maintain my love and fandom through every bad game, reboot, and temporary period of obscurity.

What about you?

I wont be a fan no matter what. It's the game that matters not the charactor. That's like saying "OMG I MUST GET THE GAME WHERE SPYRO JUST STANDS THERE EVEN THOUGH IT'S £10000 BECUZ I LUV SPYROOOOOOOO"

That is just ridiculous. NOONE would do something like that, not if it was a game with one level, no story, no enemies, no games, crap landscapes, no collectibles, no color, no music, no dialoge, no NOTHING; not if all Spyro did was stand around. I mean will you play any and all Spyro games as long as it's a real game and keep liking Spyro for as long as Spyro games are still being made? I will.

'Cause that's what Insomniac is really all about everyone! Shoot 'em ups and more shoot 'em ups...

Whatever happened to the arcade shoot 'em ups that were kings of gaming back in the day anyway? I never see arcades have any kind of shoot 'em ups anymore...

Nope. If it turns into a shooting game I wont like it. If Spyro starts walking on two legs I won't like it. ect ect.

If I dont like what's in the game why should I like it just because it's Spyro?

Yes I see the point. I might not like it if it's a shooter but bipedial Spyro might not be too bad.

Uh, judging by the way the older dragons looked in the originals, you would have no choice if Spyro grew up.

I've been following them since their very first game... a shooter called Disruptor. Also, R&C is quite different from the FPS games that dominate the market (mostly on the 360).

Uh, let's not even get into that stuff... =X

Besides, I always draw Spyro bipedal anyway... just makes me think of a dragon as actually being someone you shouldn't mess with, not get a free ride on a beat the crap out of...

So? If animals can use guns then maybe they can finally defend the planet from the unfair, destructive and tyrannical rule of humans.

Anyway, Which to you guys preffer? Old, new or both? Which would you like to see in the future? I think a mix would be cool.

I have. Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer was my first game ever, and I got it when I was about 4 or 5. Anything to do with Spyro, I'm a fan. And that is why I don't understand the arguments over the Originals and TLoS, because he's still Spyro, right? He's just gone through a few changes.

I've been playing Spyro since the first game was just a demo. I thought I would be a fan of the franchise as it aged, but that has not proved to be the case ultimately.

I still love the Insomniac games to bits and I am very fond of AHT (it's so intentionally bad I can't help but find it endearing). EtD nearly killed the entire franchise and I see why, but I feel sort of proud that I played through the whole game, torturous as it was. However, the franchise is dead to me after AHT.

I was a fan of LoS for a while, though I'm not sure how or why when I look back on it. But DotD was a needed slap in the face and it revealed without doubt all of the faults in its trilogy from poor gameplay to a hackneyed, overdone story. It gives me some comfort to see that AHT and ANB were received by critics and many fans alike better than DotD, but it makes me kind of sad to see what used to be some of the best platformers ever brought to this state. And the less said about the disturbing transformation of the Spyro fanbase as a whole that DotD wrought, the better.

Anyways...

So, yeah. Still a big fan of the Insomniac three and AHT, but I am no longer a fan of the Spyro franchise as a whole. I have no expectations or hopes for anything good coming from it in the future.

I lost faith in the Spyro franchise after I played Enter the Dragonfly. I've never played a Spyro game since - they just don't appeal to me.

I'm afraid I don't have Mike's e-mail. If I did, I would not give it out to anyone, though. That would be a gross breach of trust and a very rude thing to do. Mike is a busy guy and he's got plenty of his own ideas already, I'm sure. I only ever spoke to him through the old VUG forums.

You should give AHT a shot, InsomDog. It's hilarious and bad in a way that makes me think they did it on purpose. smilie

I am still a big fan of Spyro 1, 2 and 3. I actually lost some faith in the Spyro franchise when I saw how different AHT was. But now I like it a lot moresmilie But then Shadow Legacy came...smilie My least favorite game. Making the gray and dark Shadow Realm was not a good idea. A lot of new combat moves...>< Not the sort of changes I appreciate.
ANB... I never was sure if I liked it or not. All I know is that I like it more than TEN and DOTD.

Kind of...I didn't have the games when they came out during the Insomniac age, but I got them 4 years after Insomniac had ended the series. That's probably what you guys wouldn't call "since the Insomniac age", but since then, I've been a fan of Spyro.
