Is Spyro still Spyro no matter what he looks like or what the gameplay is like?

spyromaster330 · May 10, 2008 9:50 PM

Ok well. A few people on other topics have been saying that they reckon Spyro is Spyro no matter what the gameplay is like or what he looks like. I don't really agree with that because i mean if they went and made some sort of violent Grand Theft Auto style with guns and stuff using Spyro in the game it wouldn't feel like Spyro then would it? And the same goes with how he looks. If they changed his look completly and even made him not even look like a dragon anymore then it wouldn't feel or look like Spyro would it?

So yeah thats what i reckon. What do the rest of you think

I don't think Spyro is Spyro anymore. People who say that Spyro is Spyro no matter what his games are like are being weird. Spyro no longer exists to me. Now there is only some imposter running around. He is no longer Spyro, but a big purple mess.

So I'm being called weird?

Hmm...why not?

Cynder794 · May 11, 2008 12:33 AM

Ummmmmm...... Awwwwwwkward.......

TheManiacOnWheels · May 11, 2008 12:43 AM

Meh, don't worry Cynder794. If what Juicebox says is true, then I'm weird too. big_smile
I've said that several times. Because it's true. If it is being made by a company with full rights to the franchise, then yes it is Spyro. What I don't agree with is how some fans of the old series who don't like the new series refuse to accept that this is Spyro now. We can't change it, so why bother tring to deny that T.L.o.S is the 'real Spyro'.
And I just know someone is going to come here and say 'you're wrong about that.' I wish that everyone could get along regardless of which series they prefer. It doesn't have to fought over all the time.

I take offense to what Juice box said...I personally think Spyro is still Spyro no matter what. Now if they change him completely then of course I would have a feeling he's not Spyro anymore. But I consider Spyro a purple dragon with four feet who breathes fire and has a yellow dragonfly named Sparx following him. As long as it's that, then it's still Spyro for me.

I don't think you guys are weird. I do disagree though. I'm sure Ratchet will be along in a few minutes, if he hasn't already posted by the time I'm finished typing this.

The LoS is not a bad series. It is, however, a completely different game than the original 3. It took the emphasis off platforming and puzzle solving, and moved it to combat. Some platforming elements hung on, but those are really not central to gameplay. What they essentially did was put the character of Spyro into a completely different game, not to mention completey change the artistic direction of the series.

As for EtD and AHT, these two didn't really change the Spyro formula, they just did it very poorly.

So I guess it really depends on what you think defines a series. If it's the characters that make it up, then yeah, LoS is Spyro. But if you look deeper, and consider a franchise to be more than superficial details, but the atmosphere that the game creates and the nature of gameplay, then there is a definite cuttoff between the originals and LoS, for better or worse.

I Agree, You took the words straight out of my mouth.

-_- here we go AGAIN!I agree with you Juice Box..he's not the same..The old one is fun and quirky,while the new one is into dragons arts,and sacred powers...yeah..I agree with you Juice Box.

ratchet · May 11, 2008 11:47 AM

But I consider Spyro a purple dragon with four feet who breathes fire and has a yellow dragonfly named Sparx following him. As long as it's that, then it's still Spyro for me.

Some People like me, look deeper than Just A Name, rights and similarities. Some people, like me, believe that Since Spyro's Look, personality, voice, surrounding characters, style of gameplay, general gameplay, level design, music design, powers, story style, voice style, humour, surroundings, atmosphere, length of game, goals, timeline made Spyro A Whole new dragon in ANB, which he is supposed to be, and THAT is what we dont like. The Fact that Sierra had the nerve to replace my Spyro that i grew up with with an imposter.

I Am not as angry about it as i were, but thats not the point. Saing that he is Still the same Spyro and that we should live with him is WRONG because he has changed.
Well thats my rant, and dont start on "Your a TLOS basher, Ratchet" because i dont care, this is my opinion, and that is yours.

Hehehe...I like your rants. They give opportunities for controversy about TLOS and Original Spyro.

Antr the Rolf · May 11, 2008 11:56 AM

I understand dude...the first one you knew was the old Spyro..now that everyone's revvung up everything EVEN Spee Racer!I mean...it DIDn'T have fighting in it!You grew up on the first one and then they just threw him away and made a new one..I know what you mean.And call ME a TLOS Basher..come on!*puts up claws*I ain't no TLOS basher!

Antr the Rolf · May 11, 2008 12:02 PM

No..its because it will get me even more suicidal of people getting on my nerves..I'd be one..aw what the hack..I'll be one!!This'll be great!

ratchet · May 11, 2008 12:07 PM

Oh and i'm not "biased" towards the Originals if thats what you mean, because i do consider TLOS's Good points, but i do find more bad points than good points mtself. I Hate it how Spyrorocks locked my review of TEN, he called it bias.
Look at Doppel's review, It Didn't consider 1 bad thing (no offence), that is what "biased" means, when you only consider one side of the argument.

http://www.spyroforum.com/topic-3199-te … tchet.html

Yes and i know i hadn't finished the game, and i said that my review isn't fully right because i hadn't finished the game. I will, and i will do a proper review then.

OOC: Argueing actually makes me happier for some reason, i dont know why. And Are You talking about being a TLOS basher Arcane X? Wait, didn't you say like a few days ago that NEW Spyro is great???

Antr the Rolf · May 11, 2008 12:13 PM

OCC:Ahh!I can't make up my D8mn n=mind!I've been through a LOT of pressure these last few days..but I truly am one...

Doppelgangergang · May 11, 2008 12:14 PM

I pick TLoS now because I like the story line better. And it's much cooler.

And I just got to say....

STOP BASHING!

ratchet · May 11, 2008 12:17 PM

Why Should I Stop sharing my opinion? As i said, Bashing means nothing to me, if sharing your negative opinion is bashing then i'm a basher, alot of people are.
You for example are a Tlos Basher Basher

Juice box · May 11, 2008 12:17 PM

Okay Doppel^Dude there was barely anything about that post that was sane. It was almost as demented as: What do you do when you're paddling upstream in a canoo and the wheel falls off? Or when you pick a fight with a pineapple but you accidentally drop the soap? The answer is - Pandas don't eat cheese... :-|

Antr the Rolf · May 11, 2008 12:20 PM
