What's your reaction?

Spyrorocks · Aug 04, 2006 6:59 PM

Its a secret. anyways, i think we have gotten accross that they should have listen more to the fans, huh?

Stormy · Aug 04, 2006 7:02 PM

If it's a secret, then why did you bother to tell us? XD

Yes, they should listen to the fans. The developers are important, obviously, but they wouldn't exist if not for the fans who buy the games and keep them in business.

I had a feeling a developer was on this site and that is why I voiced my opinion. I really like Spyro as he was and didn't want him to be rebooted this way. I saw nothing wrong with the original storyline other then the fact that it needed to be fleshed out more but that isn't hard to do. It just takes a little effort to make an already good story into something truly unforgettable. I like the fact that Spyro's Origins are being explored but as I said before I would have liked to see the Original Spyro be fleshed out more.

Just because he is a hero similar to Sonic doesn't mean he can't be made more three demensional as character. Who wants to play a character who has a personality that is uninteresting and flat as a wooden board. I know I sure don't. Expanding on and respecting what already exists would have been better then this extreme action. Not all reboots work and I should know because I have seen many fail. I don't want this to happen to Spyro. There is just too much potential left in the original story to totally disregard it like this. I know it is too late to make changes to the new game but perhaps future games in this new series might somehow have their focus shifted back in the direction of the original storyline. Remember it isn't what's only inside the story but what you do with the story that ultmately makes it either a good story worthy of being remembered or.... You get my point.

I guess Universal figured that since they mucked up the original Spyro so badly they just should start over and toss every... single... thing out. Goodbye Hunter.... So long Bianca... Was nice knowning you Elora. All of our original beloved cast of characters are gone.... FOREVER! In their place is WHAT EXACTLY! A NEW BEGINNING.... I am sorry but they should have put all this effort into trying to fix the original story. There was so much potential left to the original Spyro's story and yet they never fully used any of it. They never developed the characters properly. The story ran in place and never went anywhere. Why couldn't they just make multiple game storyline plot in the original series that would have done the same thing as this so called NEW BEGINNING! It would have been much more interesting to see origin story with the current Spyro if the story was done properly.
But noooo they go and pull something like this. I will buy this game because I am a fan but I will not like it. This isn't what I would have done if I had been in charge of the Spyro story. Many people have said that the new game is cool... Maybe it is but is that all that matters? Is it worth sacrificing all that has come before just to be COOL?! Spyro has never been given the proper respect that he deserves and with this reboot it seems that Universal has finally given up on the little guy. They had such a rich story in their hands and all they had to do was develop it properly. That's all! Was it that hard for them? Hmmm... obviously it was.
Nice knowing you Spyro. Oh, I for the fans of my story I will continue writing my Spyro: Dragon of Destiny series and working on what will probably be the only Spyro animated project for a long time. I have a feeling that Universal has already made up their minds in regards to my animated proposal. I really don't care because at the moment I am so disgusted with them that it really doesn't matter. I will finish my animated Spyro project and demonstrate to them just how stupid their decision was to erase everything for a reboot that they will probably find some way to screw up as well.
Sorry, everyone if I sound harsh but I like this character and it breaks my heart to see Universal do this to him. Anyway, I will continue working on my projects because I have put a lot of time and effort into them. As for a A NEW BEGINNING... I'll just modify what I see in it to work in the normal universe. I have some ideas that will take Spyro and his friends in directions that allows them to grow and develop properly. As for Cinder... he he he... she will appear in Dragon of Destiny and there will be a major twist.
Anyway, I have said my piece. If anyone disagrees with me then go right ahead say you do.

O_O... (sorry 4 dubble posting but...)
*sniffs with sadness and happiness* but...no more RED? no more Bunny(Bianca)? no more hoof gal(elora)??? no more... UP HIMSELF HUNTER and moley mole with glasses (PROF) and... no more RIPPY and SORCERESS and SORSERER and gnasty and whoever?? hmm i dunno wat 2 think....i thought it would be like...had all of the same characters except more detail at da start???!!!...um BTW...are YOU the develepor???
BTW...your destiny dragon series sounds pretty cool!!! are you making a game??!! or is it (even better) A MOVEE!!!???? wat is it?
(eitha or, thats pretty cool that u know how 2 make a movee/game...i wish me and SFRB new how 2 do that...u must be a reel computah genius! :*bleep*in: )

Stormy · Aug 08, 2006 5:06 PM

No, she is not the developer.

Maybe they won't get rid of the old characters. They couldn't really have any of the old characters in this game anyway, because it would be before Spyro met any of them, but they could come up in the next games.

Hi, the sorcerous is fat, I am not involved with the Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning game. I am the creator of Spyro: Dragon of Destiny, a brand new original Spyro the Dragon ongoing fanfiction series on Fanfiction.net. I have written 10 episodes with 3 final episodes of the current first season left to finish. A sneak peak at season two, Invasion is already up.

I have a spin off series called Vanguardian Heroes: Team Skyler wichi takes place 30 years in the future after Dragon of Destiny. Its the story of Spyro's son and daughter and their team. The first episode of the three part series premiere is already up.

As for an animation project I am working 3d Spyro short film called LOA aka Legacy of Ages. That project will take at least till Fall 2008 to be completed due to my other projects I am actively working on currently. I do have an idea for a three part Spyro RPG game trilogy but I don't have the money, time or necessary team of game programmers available to help make this idea a reality.

Oh, by the BlueFlame, I am a guy not a girl. My name is Nathaniel Watson II.

Stormy · Aug 09, 2006 12:28 PM

XD Oh, sorry. I get you and Jaide confused sometimes. -_-

the sorcerous is fat · Aug 11, 2006 8:08 AM

kool...so this game...is it good...well to you...have u written a story or sumthn? like to set the scene of ya know the movees and stuff or is it ust a game?

Spyrofan123123 · Aug 11, 2006 5:34 PM

I'm definataly NOT getting this game. It looks like the worst Spyro game on Earth!!!! Why didn't Insomniac just keep making Spyro? Not Vivendi Universal!!! I absolutely LOVE the first 3 spyro games. the 4th one is OK, but i don't like the ones after that. THEY STINK!!!!!!!! BOOOOO!!!!! and Spyro looks weirder now.

Stormy · Aug 11, 2006 5:40 PM

I don't think I'll really like it either, but I'm going to get it anyway so I can have all the Spyro games. I'm not sure this would really be considered "Spyro" though.

Spyrorocks · Aug 11, 2006 7:22 PM

correct. it isent really "spyro". What would we call it?

Paranoia · Aug 12, 2006 7:02 PM

We would call it a cross between an RPG and stupid elemental things.

Stormy · Aug 12, 2006 10:35 PM

Exactly how I would have put it, except I would have added "Enter the Dragonfly 2."

Paranoia · Aug 13, 2006 1:23 PM

XD Yeah that's a good way to put it.

simon · Aug 14, 2006 10:21 AM

This game is spyro's early life. I am going to buy spyro 1 soon, so i can't buy this game. I don't like it either,well a bit.

(This game seems to be replace for spyro 1. )

Paranoia · Aug 14, 2006 1:33 PM

Yes they are going to pretend the other games never happened. That isa good idea to get Spyro 1 first; I'ts probably a lot better.

simon · Aug 15, 2006 9:55 AM

Yeah.

ih8u2 · Aug 24, 2006 9:29 PM

I think the game will be fun, but not really a Spyro game. I can't even compare it to ETD because at least ETD felt in the spyro timeline universe thing. But this just doesn't look like it will be the good ol' platformer any of us grew up with. It shall be the start of a new series or an end to itself.

Dejablue · Nov 09, 2006 6:29 PM

To be honest. I could not go back to the way Spyro used to play. Sure maybe AnB should have kept some things. Like Sparx's health indication ability, special chests, and world portals. But other than that I'm glad for the change. I have grown up since the last time I played an Insomniac Spyro game. My preferences have changed. And I don't like the stationary enemy anymore. Sure they could have widened out the worlds a little bit, but I like enemies who chase after Spyro AT LEAST for a short time.

The voice acting is wonderful, the production value is better than any other Spyro game I played. They took it seriously for a children's game. And maybe thats the only reason I WANTED to play this. If it came off as another dinky kiddy adventure I would have turned my nose up to it.

I have suggestions on what could be done to make the next game better...if there is a next game. But likely they won't listen to fans. Although they should. The Spyro the Dragon fanbase can't be as big as it once was. I never thought anything wrong of asking a decent fan what is liked and what isn't liked.

But for the most part I defend this game as being the best Spyro game to come out since Insomniac dropped the franchise. Maybe it deviates a little to much for some fans to handle, but at least it had effort put into it.

Neologized Hinagiku · Nov 10, 2006 9:18 PM

"OMG!!!!!!!!! i need to have it!" <-- exactly my toughts.

Yeah, the web was flashy and the trailer so exciting!

Zekira Drake · Nov 10, 2006 10:43 PM

That was exactly my reaction when I first heard about this game, since 1.) It's Spyro! and 2.) IT'S AN ACTION GAME. I WANT IT. That was my reaction before I got this game, and now it's DEFINITELY worth the price...

Brom the Wise · Feb 26, 2007 12:45 AM

I think this game is very.....diffrent to say the least it is very action packed but hugely repetative. In future I hope that u can at least chouse when and where u go

LoneKnight · Feb 26, 2007 1:29 AM

Yes, that, and I would have liked to see more places. In my opinion, a major point of Spyro was to choose where you want to go, via the portals, and have the ability to return there if ever you felt like it. However, ANB was very story driven, and it seemed they just wanted to crank out a game, perhaps too hastily before thinking of what else they could add.

Spyrorocks · Feb 26, 2007 1:46 AM

I liked the story idea, though.

Brom the Wise · Feb 26, 2007 2:12 AM

I must agrea [mispelling] with the story as that storie is my VERY favorit [another mispelling] so far........so far
