Dear Sierra: Spyro is Single Player, OK? [CLOSED]

I would like it if the co-op system is thrown out of the window and we return to the single player perspective of Spyro, just like ANB and TEN. This is so that the dumb "locked together" with limited camera angles will be out.

I would like it if there are some levels with either Spyro or Cynder in it.

Spyro is single player. Buying a Spyro game for co-op is like buying a nice car to drive off the cliff.

You mean like a back and forth method between the two characters? I like that, but I also wouldn't mind an IMPROVED co-op method.

I'd like that too, but only if playing as Cynder was different that playing as Spyro. When you play as either dragon, you have flight, melee, four elements and fury. It's exactly the same except the elements do different things and Cynder seems faster and more controlable. Co op would be better with more, varied characters to play as. I could see palying as Hunter in LOS.

Variety would be nice.D: It's much to similar, and I'm sure that's one of the reasons why co-op failed.

That, and constantly getting one or the other characters stuck in all the nooks and crannies.

Yes. Spyro should be the more elemental one and Cynder could use combat.

yeah the co op was nice good feature. Ok maybe it was the best co op but it can be improved. its like redesigning a new car. the new redesigned car looks nice and all but its going to have a few problems that were over looked. I should know I was a Nissan Tech hahaha. But when the next years model comes out they fix those problems, maybe if the next game is co op it will be improved.

I didn't mind the co-op, but I got annoyed at the fact you couldn't see yourself half the time when fighting. smilie It would be neat if you could play as various characters, like Hunter, or maybe one of the guardians. smilie

They did give you the bloody option to go solo. If you don't want to play co-op, no one is forcing you. But I will admit they need to improve the co-op..

#12 Posted: 23:22:32 09/02/2010
The Co-op was pretty bad. Heck, the entire game was bad, but that's not my point. The AI hardly did anything when playing alone, and often just acted as a glitched dead weight to pull around on a chain. I do like co-op in a game - But no co-op is better than co-op done wrong.

I dissagree that they should get rid of the co-op completly but I do agree that they should improve it. Something like they included in the recent Lego Indiana Jones game (link) where the screen would split if the players got to far away from eachother. Not exactly like that ofcourse, but something along those lines would make it easier, and would also add partialy to the freeroaming aspect (in a way) so that you're not tied to being near the other player all the time...

It was a dumb idea imo
I hope the next game doesn't have co-op =/

Since the tether is no longer around Spyro and Cynder's neck to keep them from going apart, I wonder how they'll do the co-op in the next game. If they add co-op that is.

I think if they ever did make something like that in Spyro they should change it a bit, but yeah... You get what I mean...

yeah sounds like a good idea. the co op made it abit more fun. in my personal chioce though. Its not a bad idea at all. Bad idea was the fact you had to charge your elements with crystals.

Well, it is called 'co-op' for a reason... smilie
Gwenio Gold Sparx Gems: 2454
#28 Posted: 02:32:21 12/02/2010
Why? It has virtually no impact on the playing experience when you are in single player mode other than you can switch characters. Co-op on one machine has always had problems, so the co-op is DotD (from what little I saw of it) is decent. It could be improved, but it is not like it ruins the game.

(As a note, they would have had to do alot of things diffrently if they had gone with split-screen; such as less linear levels.)

I was thinking that while playing DotD earlier.

I guess everyone can agree that it can be improved. But it certaintly doesn't ruin the game, its just something different for sure. And really for the first time, its the only Spyro game that is 2 player. its fun at least for me it is.

There were quite a few people asking for a Spyro and Cynder co-op option on Sierra's forum after ANB was released...
S240sx24 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1970
#32 Posted: 04:20:23 12/02/2010
Then that says the game developers do listen. Hopefully they can continue the co op but with online co op. that would be cool if that was possible.

No..Split-screen! I hate split-screen co-op! Worst idea since adding an internet feature to a console or Project Natal.

Actually, internet online play is great. But back on topic...

The Legend of Spyro is based on Storytelling. That's it. It's not a multiplayer game.
GamingMaster_76 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1271
#35 Posted: 22:28:06 12/02/2010
i want the multiplayer either improved or removed IF it's in the next game. online co- op might work if it's just a bunch of bonus stages you can unlock and not the actual storyline levels (unless you can unlock them too).

Hmm, that would be a good idea they could do... A multiplayer where you customise your Dragon that you play as in the same way as Spyro's lair... And who knows, Activision might push it to that direction...
