The real true facts why the series had a "low publicity" level

The true fact of why Spyro turn into a low publicity video game.

  • 1) It's not the legend games
    2) It's not the other high publicity video games (like I said)

The truth is, I hate to say, but the real reason why, it's us on these two forums (here and darkspyro). Why, we'll turning the series into a major Civil war between the Originals and the Legends.

The real reason why we had a Spyro-less 2009, it's because of us users fighting each other (Originals complaining about the Legends, and Legends complaining about the Originals).

So if we keep fighting one another, the series will die. But if we make up and go with the flow, then their make another Spyro game (it could be a Legend game or a Original game).

Re: The real true facts why the series had a "low publicity" level

Wait... that doesn't really make sense. How exactly are you suggesting that the fandom wars on the internet effect the games' popularity in real life?

If anything, it would give it more publicity, I would think. People fighting about stuff is usually interesting to other people.

You can't just go and start calling it the "real facts" without having some kind of proof. >__>

Re: The real true facts why the series had a "low publicity" level

I reckon it was because of games like Tomb Raider and other popular titles taking the limelight. Spyro just isn't as popular as it used to be. Since less good/successful games like ETD and AHT, people have just lost interest...

And I agree with Stormy - this is just your opinion. You can't really say that they're 'true facts'.

Re: The real true facts why the series had a "low publicity" level

*shakes head* Don't blame the fans hmm, blame the producers. Activision is at fault here for "re-booting" the series & in turn creating this "segregation wall"<_< .

I've stated previously through the year that a reboot was not necessary to make TLOS, & this is why <_<. The fights between which trilogy is better & the over egoism of fans of both sides is quite common in any franchise smile . To put it in lame man's terms, there are two sides to every coin, both need to exist in order to support one another. wink

I know I've said some pretty harsh things about TLOS but I'm grateful that they are making games in Spyro's name, even though I will never, ever, EVER, consider the Purple Main character in those games to be Spyro mad. I can go on saying the faults of either trilogy, but I will sustain my tongue for a better opportunity roll.

Nonetheless, Activision has put themselves in a very awkward situation, w/ their reboot, will they try to melt pot both trilogies into one thing, or continue to serve just one? *sighs* this is such a mess :-|, but as fans, we can do something... it may not be much, it may not even get through, but perhaps we can ask for a union of both.

I'm pretty sure some users have made topics about this... I believe Ratchets thread does this...

I second that :0
The reboot was just unneccesary...they tried to make something new,but they just went to far imo.If Activision had never done that,there wouldn't be as much as arguments as there are today (although people always find stuff to b**** about ) :-|

Re: The real true facts why the series had a "low publicity" level

I reckon Spyro's gone up in publicity because of the Legend series. Unfortunately, the majority of Legend fans are annoying fantards who drool over Cynder or like pairing Spyro up with their Cynder-clone Mary Sue

Its the fact that the idea was sitting there and had not been taken yet. and it was finally exploited it created a big boom.

But it wasn't Spyro.

If the series had been about a different dragon, I wouldn't have minded. But it's like they did to Crash. If you think about it, the Legends and the new Crash series are pretty similar. Both have horribly edited characters and focus on dull and repetetive combat. They just can't do anything else.

Thank god someone else FINALLY noticed that Crash and Spyro now mirror each other.

Sonic 06 anyone? My gosh, what where they thinking? <_< Constantly bouncing off the same enemy for more than 2 seconds; while the door to continue is closed; because i need to kill everything in the area to continue!

What the heck!? <_<

Seriously, is putting puzzle in LOS really that hard? :-|

Of course it is. No LotR or any other fantasy cliche had them other than killing. Or brining one thing to another.

Re: The real true facts why the series had a "low publicity" level

I think Insomniac saw this end, and knew it was only a short ways off in the future. Unfourunately they only hastened this end's comming in doing this.

I think TloS has served as a great platform to hone in my writing skills and re-interest me in entertaining a large audiance. Publicity has probably increaced from where it was after AHT because of this forum and Dark Spyro. New games don't seem to be fourth comming though and unfourtunatly neither does a movie..

The end has came my friends, once and for all, now it's up to us to keep what legacy we have of it alive until Spyro's time comes once again.


If tomorrow may never come, and yesterday is just a memory, then what is today worth?

Re: The real true facts why the series had a "low publicity" level

Ratchet, I know this is random, but I just realised how much I love your avatar. Spyro's standing on his hind legs (because he COULD in the original trilogy! Like when he was telling everyone that Gnasty Gnorc was toast! big_smile) and he looks like he's giving some hatchling a lecture. XD

Whatever happen to ADVENTURE hmm ...? I mean I just looked on the back of the case of LOS and it says Fantasy Violence... now, I know that doesn't mean that that makes up the game but, honestly... wheres the exploring, the collecting, the falling down pit traps that lead you to your ultimate doom, seriously!? <_<

Ugh, just... ugh!

Its like, kids these days want nothing but violence, its not even humorous violence... or Comic Mischief... man, maybe that's why Spyro is getting such low publicity is because it just mimicking others...

Again, ugh, just ... UGH! <_<

agreed
It's all about beating the hell out of enemies these days >_>
and it gets really really repetative in TloS.I really don't understand why are so many games trying to rip-off God of War?(including DotD)
I mean god of war itself is a good game but come on, all of these wanna-be-s are just getting old and boring...come up with something original for God's sake...

Re: The real true facts why the series had a "low publicity" level

@Kimba28

I agree the gameplay should've been more original that what it was in DotD, but I think overall it wasn't too bad of a game considering what is on the market. But I think if Activision was to continue on with the TLOS universe, I think they should really try to move away from the emo/angst atmosphere that seems to have dominated the TLOS series...well that's just my opinion anyways...

Re: The real true facts why the series had a "low publicity" level

Well, at least it's obvious that the dragons have a hard time making a living without having someone disturbing the peace. Curiousity... and they rarely sasify those questions conjured by it. If they could go more in-depth in culture terms then some things would of made sense.

The combat wasn't a bad thing but just that alone with little else to offer makes it feel stale. I would share my ideas but... I'm saving them for something else.  :-X
