No, I put this topic here for a reason.

If anyone has played the original Rayman game, then they probably understand that Rayman Origins seems a lot like it:



But if you look closely, you can see they took the original, adopted the same/similar gameplay, and turned a game I really don't like into a game I really wouldn't mind having.

I think the guys who made this game had it right.

They took the old game and made a new one. Even the storyline is different, but it still feels like the same game, not a spinoff. It seems like a much better game too.

Now imagine if the Spyro devs had the same idea.

Stop making annoying spinoffs and make a game closer to the original. Just improve graphics and gameplay.

I think they'd do much better if they followed that idea, don't you?

This actually shows me that some developers actually care what the fanbase wants. And like I said, the result looks cool to me. Maybe they should do the next Spyro game?

They should.
Another great example would be Sonic Generations.
They took the Classic Sonic gameplay, and the Sonic Unleashed daytime gameplay, and spruced both up, and made a new game altogether. It looks new and familiar at the same time.

I think they should do something similar with Classic and LoS Spyro.

Michel Ancel is directing Origins, who happens to be the creator of Rayman, which would explain the similarities between the two.

Rayman: Origins looks awesome by the way.

Skylanders is kinda going back to the roots of the original game but it just doesn't feel like a Spyro game to me. Although I must say, Skylanders doesn't look at all bad.
