Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
Well their are many reasons...and the older fans will say that the high sales were still there...and their was no reason whatsoever to change the games...but even high sales had their limit...and the character limitations were what caused Insomniac to let go of the franchise and give it to someone else...and they attempted to run with what Insom knew would eventually bring about it's downfall...
I didn't like the change at first just like everyone...but after awhile it grew on me and I really have come to enjoy what they did...but I'm not the avarage gamer I suppose 0.o....everything keeps changing to suit the marketplace desires.

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
I really don't understand why they don't gonna make game that combine both of the formulas. I have entire idea of the new game in my head for over a six months: collecting system together with RPG and adventure system (Spyro 123 + TLoS), co-op MP (L4D), living world that changes according to your actions (Fable), several storylines with differents levels in them and several endings (my own complicated idea ), bonuses for experienced players and an extra BIG bonuses for hardcore players, strong emotions (you will cry, you will laugh, etc.). I have almost everything in my head, including HUD, characters, enviroments, gameplay, storyline and mouch more.
BUT all this is for nothing, 'cause 1. I can't make games, 2. I don't have money and 3. Who will be stupid enough to do it for free?
Thank you.
P.S.: I'm just ordinary Spyro fan, really.

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
Well unless you consider it for a future career...yeah their is nothing you can really do about it...but those are all excellent ideas. The games have changed and shifted around just as the market around it has changed over the past 10 years. Insomniac saw the limits they couldn't overcome with the original character....so they gave them off to someone else while switching to a more heavy shooting platform that they could continue to build upon...aka Ratchet and Clank.
The formula was attempted well after they let the series go (ETD and AHT)..and even though sales for these games were pretty good...they still drove the series lower respect wise...and people started calling for something different. SL was something vastly different using the same original characters...and that didn't do well...then they just revamped all the characters and concepts in general after Sierra took over...and behold you have the LoS series.
The series was a far departure from anything involving the originals...but it was Sierra's take on what Spyro would need to be successful again..and although it didn't work on many levels...it still had a good deal of success.

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
He was just in reference to the original game itself...the modern day remakes don't really qualify...but that's an entirely different subject all together. If they brought the older games into the world today they would not be nearly as successful as they were then...the market is just too different now. More demand for different kinds of titles...and many more critics. It's just another "what if" scenario that we will never really know the answer to...

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
Those sales are there because Mario is a big name and they continue as they did...
I won't get into it too deep, but Spyro can't do that because of the idiots that made EtD.
Spyro is not as big or old so many people won't even give it a try after one folly of a game.
If tomorrow may never come, and yesterday is just a memory, then what is today worth?

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
Well unfortunetely the reality of the situation clearly points to the notion that they will continue with the new series. Not what many fans want but it's better for the franchise as it will continue onwards.

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
Nah, if they do anything with only Cynder, it won't be just yet. Remember, the name recognition Spyro has is still big (even if it's basically a different character at this point).
If they're going to do a game all about Cynder, they wait till the fanbase gets a little bigger I think.

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
Yeah I do agree with that....Cynder's fanbase is growing very very large.....but they will let it expand more before they do anything with Cynder in a solo game.

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
Spyro was ALWAYS good ( so is Cynder;) )! To some it is not good ( Spyro haters!!!!), but many more think it is the best. I am one of those people who think Spyro rocks!!!!!
One day the unreal shall be real, the fallen shall rise, and the nightmares shall become a reality. Those who follow shall earn life eternal. Those who don't shall die. The rising of the Dark Lord shall be humanity's undoing. All hail the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
Starting the topic with such a loaded question was a horrible idea <.<
If TC actually meant "in the style of the old games" I think the answer is never, at least at this rate.

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
They'll make a good Spyro game once all of these fanboys and fangirls quit talking about Spyro and Cynder's "relationship". No one CARES!!! It's a game, not real people! GET OVER IT! THEY DIED!!!GAME OVER!!! Bring back the REAL Legendary Dragon (and the REAL Legendary Developers).

Re: When will spyro be GOOD again
Technically they didn't die and unfortunately they are still continuing this series. I don't care which way they go, but yes the vast majority of screaming fanboys and girls have ruined it for me.
