I can't watch it! I don't have flash player 9 :'( Can anybody upload the video on youtube big_smile

Zekira Drake · Aug 20, 2008 11:00 AM

@DragonLadyArts: What...? FYI, YouTube also uses Flash Player...

EDIT: Wait a minute. YouTube only needs at least Flash Player 6... so that explains it...

Gee, thanks for the links EternalNight! That light music fits in just right with that flying-through-the-pretty-forest scene. Spyro's powerful flame looks really cool, and there are interesting sound effects when Spyro hits an enemy, or when the gems flying into their bodies. Gawsh, I just can't wait for the game's release!

I would like to know why they didn't keep Hunter as a cheetah. Seriously, why?

I'm wondering the same thing. He seems more like a fox with those pointy ears. Cheetahs don't have those. I like his clothing and overall appearance though. He's ready to go to town on Malefor's bad boys. (You might not be convinced but if we see him in action besides leaping around...I'm convinced)

Edit: It seems that you take my opinion about him looking like a fox a bit serious. I didn't know what else to compare him to at the time of this post.

Fine, he looks like some sort of cat but it's not a cheetah. Are you happy lads? <_<

It's not that I'm not convinced, Hunter has always been there for the action. He had the bow and arrows since Ripto's Rage but... He's definetly not a cheetah here, or if he's not supposed to be a certain species, he certainly doesn't look like one either. Not just for the ears, but the fur pattern too. He looks more like a bobcat now.

I'm just a little concerned for why anyone would do this unnecessary major character change. Spyro is still purple with golden scales and red wings isn't he? Even though Hunter most likely won't have his old personality, I was kind of excited to see him again, but this just feels like a kick to the face from Sierra to the old fans. Mostly because I just don't see the point in changing his species when the two felines look similar anyway, and also when a cheetah makes more sense, seeing as they are more agile. Thanks to this, it just won't be Hunter to me anymore.

To Kazoobie64: I'm gonna miss the old Hunter. He is always challenging you with some difficult game he comes up with.

To everyone else: The level design looks grand to fly around in. I wonder what secrets might lie in it.

Thundersoul · Aug 20, 2008 3:50 PM

He does not look like a fox, he looks like a Wild Cat, the markings and ers are a dead giveaway

John Man 1234 · Aug 20, 2008 4:06 PM

He still looks cool to me nonetheless.

Black Shadow · Aug 20, 2008 4:40 PM

That's so cool!

Neotyguy40 · Aug 20, 2008 4:44 PM

Ahh well, I guess hunter will never be hunter again...

Taco Godess · Aug 20, 2008 8:03 PM

I was watching this not too long ago. It's amazing, really, simply amazing!

I like the New Hunter, even though he looks like a serval now.

I'm still stunned at how detailed this game is. Spyro's Flame breath is just amazing. It's a good thing they decided not to use Bloom.

The flying isn't quite as smooth as I thought it would be, but I'm still impressed. The music is very beautiful, too. I CAN'T wait play this game!

minredd · Aug 20, 2008 9:04 PM

Can you all stop whining about Hunter? So they changes some stuff, so? He's still a cat, and I think he looks fine. Maybe even better then he used to.

About the gameplay, it makes me dizzy watching it XD Maybe because I'm not in control and it's moving around a lot. It seems like a few times the tether's going to choke one of them. You can really see where they got some of the old screen shots. I love the sound effects, the wings flapping, the gems going into them. It's all great <3 The flying is faster then I expected, though.

Hunter's too yellow, his feet are too big and ungrounded, his legs are oddly proportioned... What is with that line of his in the trailer? What is he, A Lion King character? Cheetahs are the superior feline species and he should have stayed one. What IS he anyway? The combination of his ears and tail don't make any sense. Maybe he's some species invented for this trilogy? How DUMB, he shouldn't even be called Hunter. Call him The Red Panther or something. I miss his goatee. Why is he so muscular? Is he asking to be furry bait? That cloak is stupid and makes him look like a little girl from a fairy tale who takes food to her grandma. Also, those arm and leg warmers are incredibly tacky. Why are they red? He's reminding me of the awful color schemes and costumes of Ritualist characters in Guild Wars. Speaking of his costume, there is not enough contrast with it and his fur color. Why didn't he team up with Moneybags to bother Spyro with sarcastic dialogue and become a villain like he should have? Why does he date a bunny? Cats EAT bunnies. Why does he mysteriously wear pants when he skateboards? Are they magical pants that make him skate better? Actually, I hardly see him skate and he sucks when he does, maybe he's just all talk? Oops, I started going into old game category. Oh well, the old games are superior. SUPERIOR, SUPERIOR I TELL YOU. I am going to keep saying this until your brain explodes and you are forced to agree with my opinion. I'm a tyrant don't you know? And to you sir I say good day.

In any case, I didn't want to say anything about the flying, but yeah, it's different than I expected it to be, and that flapping sound sounds like it will get annoying fast. It might depend on how much I'm into the game though. I know Banjo-Kazooie's talon trot sound annoys the people I play it in front of, but I never notice it.

John Man 1234 · Aug 20, 2008 10:09 PM

Yeah I was thinking that to Spyro's Fire Breath looks so real and amazing reminds of when the chracters in Super Smash Bros Brawl use there attacks like Mario using his forward smash Firebrand or Wario using Wario Waft it's so real and detailed to anyway is everyone complaining about Hunter all of a sudden.

Please don't start with this...everyone is already starting to like this game, including Hunter's new appearance. Just keep your opinion to yourself please. We don't need another difference war.

Aw come on man, have a sense of humor, those were obviously all exaggerations. I even made fun of myself.
