Art Style
Hey guys,
What do you think the art style will be like/should be like in this game? Personally, I didn't mind dotd art, in fact I thought the scenery was very well done, but I did NOT like how they redid the guardians... and I wasn't a big fan of Spyro's design either.
Chillin' like a dragon.

Re: Art Style
I think they should keep it quite simple like in AHT but with detailed graphics like in DotD.

Re: Art Style
I'ma big fan of LOZ: Wind Waker style cel-shading. It's simple and crisp, and everything looks how it is supposed to. I think that might work for Spyro. Another style I'd go for is the PS1 polygons, with hi-res textures, and lighting effects that aren't as strong as they are in DOTD.
Yo, Spyro
I'm really happy for you, but Jazz Jackrabbit is one of the best platformers of all time.

Re: Art Style
I hope they have the correct one for the series it's placed in. If it's LoS with the orig. graphics then it's a fail, and reverse would also be a fail.
If tomorrow may never come, and yesterday is just a memory, then what is today worth?

Re: Art Style
I think there's a bit more nostalgia and originality in the Spyro 1 dragons. That first dragon Riverhippo posted almost looks cel-shaded.

Re: Art Style
The more color intense look in Spyro 2 & 3 didn't do it for me as the lighting in Spyro 1 felt just right. It seemed to be more gentle with the colors.
@riverhippo The same image can be found on an old Spyro 1 site that is still working.
I don't care how it looks but how it functions

Re: Art Style
Wonder what they will look like?

Re: Art Style
They should keep it the same way it was in DoTD, and yes we agree, they should redo the gaurdians. At least Ignitus. They butchered him.

Re: Art Style
besides the fact that they should do some redesigning of the characters:
@yearofthe - i'd prefer if the dragons were quadrupedal, honestly.
as for the art style itself, DOTD all the way 
we need more levels like Twilight Falls and the Valley Of Avalar!

Re: Art Style
But they can be both quadrupal and bipedal whenever they want.

Re: Art Style
The style on the dragons in the most recent game makes many of the dragon characters look shiny, in this game i am looking forward to more scale textures and perhaps going back to the typical old designs they used for the guardians in the first 2 TLOS games. Also I still remember the main idea for Cynder was for her to be the "black" dragon, i would hope they continue this rather then the purple because that contradicts the whole meaning of "purple dragon". I do love the background graphics for the 3rd game, I appreciate there are more textures ect, particularly i like the grass in this game. It would help though for more realistic water to replace the water before it as we progress in technology. Dragons have always been either for legged, or without any arms, i would beg to differ on anyone who wishes the dragons in this game to stand on two legs. I also believe it would be a stunning idea to have a natural change of days to nights. Or perhaps just more night leves.
