What if Spyro 3 Wasn't Released in 2000 (Year of the Dragon) [CLOSED]

I've been thinking about this a lot as of late, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on if Spyro 3 wasn't released in 2000 (AKA the Year of the Dragon). Would the game not feel "rushed"? Would we not have to worry about the differences between the black label (normal) copy and the US Greatest Hits versions of the game. Honestly, I'd say Yes. If Spyro 3 was released in 2001, for example, Insominac could have had time to fix the speedway glitch, add in the extra soundtracks that the normal version of the game didn't receive, and fix some of the more famous glitches in the game. Also, the Super Whirlwind in Midnight Mountain Home that would've lead to the Super Bonus Round on that REAL "Impossible Tower" may have actually existed. Obviously the name of the game would change smilie. But yeah, thoughts?

Insomniac wouldn't have been able to release it in 2001 as they had a strict three year contract with Universal. BUT THAT ASIDE, if they could have extended it to another year of development for Spyro 3, maybe they could've just simply re-titled it as SPYRO THE DRAGON 3?

That whirlwind in the Midnight Mountain Home would have been a real nice touch for the end of Spyro. I think it would have reminded me of the "longest glide" in Spyro 2. Have you also noticed that the first three homeworlds have a power-up in, yet the last one doesn't.

Also, Insomniac needed to add in a cutscene where Spyro meets the Sorceress for the first time before they battle, like in Spyro 2 where he meets Ripto. AND, they could've had a better 100% ending than a dragon burping, seems a bit like an inside joke really. Felt like their should've been a better ending than that considering it would be the FINAL cutscene Insomniac ever made. AND I think they should have redeveloped the cutscenes into better graphics, you know games like MediEvil, and Tomb Raider, the graphics seems to look better in the cutscenes, I wish they could've had more time to do that so we could have seen Spyro in better graphics at least for his third game.

The Evening Lake soundtrack really fits the theme, and I would have liked the original theme to the Super Bonus Round instead of listening to the Lost Fleet soundtrack all the way through up to the Sorceress, the second Sorceress battle is a lot more boring I think, and to be honest I think the Lost Fleet soundtrack is kind of dull compared to others I've heard.

They should have added another infinite superflame power-up at the end aswell, so when you restart the game on another file, you get to have unlimited superflame for the rest of the game. Just like Spyro 2. I don't understand why they would want to take something away from you like that.

I think they were originally going to name Spyro 2 simply as Spyro the Dragon 2 at first.
If Spyro 3 got a name I reckon it would have the "Sorceress" in with the title, like Spyro 3: Sorceress' Revenge? Or something that would refer to the plot, as the Sorceress didn't understand that getting the dragons would also get rid of the magic, so perhaps some word for that?

Sorceress Revenge sounds good.

Sorceress' Revenge would only sound good if she and Ripto were connected in any way
