Sierra said a Known character dies, It has to Spyro cynder or Ignitus, face it, it is Cynder or Iggy. More likly Cynder. I wanna cry if it is her!

I doubt that they'd kill her. Probably Ignitus, because you can play as Cynder alone in the game, and they wouldn't make her die. Same as Spyro

I think it her. Ignitus is too less of a main charcter to make the DOTD a hit. I am nearlty crying now!

they did mention cynder before they talked about the dieing and it ws in the same pharagraph,so it probely her.

yeah.

I don't think they would kill Cynder, cuz' then the new company-thing would get a really bad start! Imagine how many hate mails they would get! >:)

Just kill off Iggy, he was old anyway!

No, I don't want ANY to die! But Sierra may not like Activision so Activision would get the hate mails! I know they would get one from me!

AND at least 10 from me!

Guys I know it is Ignitus will die, also I've had thoughts that the other guardians will already be dead. So with some of the characters gone, there could be new characters in the game. Lets face it, new dragons, fawns, moles, cats, bunnies, and a few possible griffens, like possibly seen near the volcano. But there are a lot of heros that die off, most of them in war. Which is another thing, Legend of Spyro Dawn of the Dragon, doesn't deserve a E10+ rating. It deserves a Teen rating for :not real blood, but a side effect Animated blood, and Violence. Well it really isn't blood but it looks like blood. also the Violence level in the middle and the end gets rough. Not what young children should be playing, since beloved characters die off and get murdered. May I say that ESRB has a repeated habbit of rating popular videogames the same ratings over and over again. and it is obvious that hurting your friends in battle should be Teen rated. I think it was a fair move to sneak some blood when Sierra wasn't looking, but ETL did follow orders. There is no actual blood, or sex in the game, so it could look E10+. But it is still messed up, by the way I told you already but several characters die, not only 1.

whatever,why complain now when we know its 10+

They have the option to change the rating, which they should change it to a Teen rating.

well,i don't think they will,most people here are overjoyed it 10+

Year! Bring Cynder back, sounds like a good idea to me! Unless she dosn't die of course! Cynder, if you die, i'll kill you! Or... something...

I'm actually gonna change my avvi right now!

You can' kill someone that already dead... wanna be friends Rocky?

Sure!

Oh I forgot to mention this, the fact that Hunter looks amazing is true. So why can't this be a true statement? Hi Ignitus is a strict and old dragon, he is also prone to arguement and anger mangement to both sides. I'm telling you, you have it comming.

ESNNI9

Have u seeen the new screen shots? Iggy looks Goofy and wierd.. 0.o

yer by iggy do you meen igntus?

I just want them to kill off Mole-Yair because nobody cares about him. But that won't happen.

I know Ignitus is old, but I don't want the poor guy to die! Nor Cynder or Spyro!

I think it is Ignitus 'cause Gary Oldman Played Sireus in Harry Potter and he Died.

Hey, Maybe it's Malefor that would die. cause we know him.

Agreed. But that's how it goes in the World. No one really cares... (besides us )

I don't think that this has something to do with that
Yea and with the Malefor, you're making a point. S he a known char? yes, he is... I had a thought if Spyro would actually be able to kill him... maybe he's going to spare his life in the end (sry off topic)

This is what it said:

If you're a fan of Spyro the Dragon, then you'll already have heard that in The Dawn of the Dragon, the latest in the decade long Spyro series, the cute purple winged one finally grows up, a game developer Etranges Libellules is attempting to make as fun for the hardcore as it is for the kids it's traditionally been targeted at. But you don't know how it's doing all that stuff, right? Well wonder no longer. Following a trip to Etranges Libellules' Lyon studio in France we scored exclusive hands-on time with levels you won't read about elsewhere, landed exclusive video footage and exclusive screens. Now, we've got the answers to those questions and more.

God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, The Legend of Zelda and Jak & Daxter - all games the 'hardcore' know and love. They're also games we see elements of in The Dawn of the Dragon, however improbably. "When you see all the next gen games they are really dark and all the same but they are really well done," says Edith Protiere, executive producer, as we begin our play test. "We wanted to have that level of quality but have a very colourful environment. But not too cartooney."

AdvertisementThe Dawn of the Dragon, apart from sounding like a particularly bad 70s martial arts film, is actually the final game in a Legend of Spyro trilogy (the original PlayStation only trilogy was developed by Resistance developer Insomniac - now seems like a very long time ago indeed). Fans will know that at the end of the last game, The Eternal Night, Spyro and Cynder were left frozen in crystal underneath a collapsed mountain following the death of Gual. The Dawn of the Dragon picks up the story 10 years later. The two dragons are helped by Hunter, a cheetah voiced by actor Blair Underwood, who explains what's become of the Dragon World during their slumber. Not only that, but the dastardly duo are charged with saving it once and for all from the Dark Master Malefor.

The game is part redemption story - Cynder used to be a bad girl dragon remember - and part climactic showdown with the big bad dude - the last level sees Spyro and Cynder travel to Malifor's home to sort him out. "We're telling a story with emotion," Edith explains. "At the end the Spyro story is finished. Some known characters will die."

We're playing the 'next gen' versions - Xbox 360 and PS3 - and not only does Spyro look older but the gorgeous HD graphics give everything a more modern look. We're thinking Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, that kind of saturated but high quality feel. But it's not just the graphical improvements which will pique the interest of the more discerning gamer, it's the new free flying mode, the enjoyable two-player co-op play and the God of War - that's right, we said God of War - style combat that'll get you hyped.

Let's start with the free form flying - Spyro and Cynder are able to fly wherever they want when above ground - the game will see a mix of indoor levels and open environments. "Our flying works differently to many games with flying," says Edith. "Superman or Lair were not very good. We understood why."

Certainly the flying in Superman and Lair were "not very good", but it's still a confident, bullish claim. Indeed, creating enjoyable flying in a game is a feat many developers have struggled with, something Edith acknowledges early on in our chat: "When you come to level design if you can fly and go everywhere what do you do? And co-op flying was a big concern."

Thankfully flying feels great, especially when you have the freedom of the open to explore. There's a wonderful sense of freedom, almost as if you can feel the air flowing through your hair, and there's a small element of open worldness to it all too. Pressing A or X will set you off, but you have to almost rhythmically time your subsequent presses to keep you in the air and build up momentum. It takes a while to get used to but once you do it feels great. And, of course, on the PS3 version you'll be able to use the Sixaxis controller's motion-sensing technology to fly, Lair style, if you fancy that
Puzzles are incorporated into the flying sequences, too. Spyro will be forced to carry items in his mouth at certain points, items which weigh him down and restrict his ability to fly. The player will have to work out alternative routes when this happens. A magical chain also binds Spyro and Cynder together, which has been incorporated into the gameplay. In one sequence, one player needs to grip on to a boat while the other pulls by flying.

The God of War references come from the revamped, more complex combat system. Both Spyro and Cynder have four elements at their disposal, which consume elemental energy gathered from orbs. Spyro has fire, as you'd expect, ice, electricity and earth. But it's Cynder's elemental attacks which we're most interested in - poison, wind, fear and shadow - all nice and dark and evidence of Etranges Libellules' more mature approach with the title.

AdvertisementEach element has two separate attacks, one heavy and one light. Spyro's earth element, for example, fires an earth missile attack or, alternatively, brings an enemy-clearing earth boulder attack from the sky. The elemental attacks can be upgraded up to three levels - blue crystals you collect through the game act as in-game currency, which you can spend on these upgrades. And there's loads of armour items to collect, helmets, tail armour, bracelets and the like, each with offensive and defensive properties, which should keep customisation fans happy.

Spyro and Cynder's basic controls are the same. On the 360 pad X and Y is used for light and heavy attacks, A is for jumping and flying, B grabs, LT switches control between the two dragons (the two-player co-op uses seamless drop in and out technology), and RB and RT are used for heavy and light elemental attacks respectively. You'll need to keep an eye on the enemies you're fighting, too, because each has its own elemental weaknesses and resistance, with some elite enemies proving particularly tricky (you won't have to take on the elite bad guys - they're for advanced players only). This time you won't be fighting cutesy monkeys, either. "We wanted to have enemies that were made from existing materials," explains Edith. "Each of our enemies is made from a different element. They are destructible. Some of them even have elemental shields."

I don't know if somebody die or not, but I have giving up telling people to wait and see for themselves. If they wanna believe everything they hear, then let them. I just wait till the game comes out.

>.<

I'd rather Cynder than my precious Iggy.... *sigh* Guess it is just a story. My favourite character of almost-all-time died in his game! He gets more fan-junk than the main charcter. I suppose it doesen't really matter... Much.
