So is this gonna be about him being a king or something?

RadSpyro · Oct 02, 2010 9:33 PM

I hope so badly this is not gonna be another cheesy Legend game. >_>

OMG!!! Doesn't anyone have something positive to say?

First of all, "Kingdom" doesn't necessarily mean Spyro is king. All 13 console and handheld game imply some sort of dragon kingdom that governs the homeworlds and lands.

Second of all, what is so cheesy about LoS? The cartoony advetures from the original series (which are fun) have the cheesiest storylines. And besides, if you want a lean in the direction of the old Spyro, then this rumor should be answering your prayer.

I highly doubt they would leave sony consoles out of this one, unless they truely believe that all Spyro fans are young, watch Saturday morning cartoons religiously, and have a Wii that their parents got them two years ago because parents are suckers for pricetags on video game merchandise (Yes, Dad, I love football games, but Madden 2005 is six years old now).

If these rumors are true that Spyro will be Nintendo exclusive, then it must follow Shadow Legacy. It will be pretty upsetting if the game doesn't release on PS3 or Xbox.

It would probably be wise to go Nintendo-exclusive with a casual franchise such as Spyro. Wii and DS have huge demographics, while PS3 and 360 have slimmer demographics of older and hardcore gamers.

Activision would have to pay a licensing fee for each console (pretend it's $X). They pick the ones with large numbers in the target demographic. Nintendo seems to have a larger audience of kids and fans of colorful animal characters and casual gamers, so they feel safe in paying Nintendo $2X to license the game. ($X for DS, $X for Wii).

Sony and Microsoft, however, with their hardcore older gamers, probably prefer shooters, or realistic racing games, or realistically colored animal characters, so Activision doesn't want to risk $2X extra on the two consoles. Plus, it's somewhat likely that 360 or PS3 owners also have a Wii or DS.

In the days of PS1, they had a balanced library of games. Now, on the PS3, games like Little Big Planet are complicated, and even Ratchet & Clank is less casual than I would like.

You speak a wicked truth, Jazzy.

lol I like how people are already complaining about the game yet we haven't even seen screenshots, gameplay or even the story background. I just hope it will be good. I don't think the game should be judged so quickly untill we actually see something from it. Don't judge a book by its cover, as they say.

Can we not get into a Cynder-based argument, please? This topic is about the new Spyro game, and we don't even know if Cynder is in it yet.

As far as the title goes, I'm actually pretty interested. It's weird; today I was playing Conker's Bad Fur Day, and as I watched the opening scene, I wondered what it would be like if Spyro became king in his newest game due to an unexpected twist in the storyline. I mean, King Spyro does sound a bit dodgy, but if it's because of a twist in things and not because Spyro's father is revealed to be the king of the Dragon Kingdom then things could be pretty interesting.

Anyway, I hope they make the game for fans of both series. So far, it's pretty hard to tell because Spyro being king sounds very Legend of Spyro - ish, but there were no hints of a kingdom in the Legend of Spyro; only in the original series. Hopefully they'll incorporate more characters from the old series into the new, like Elora and Bianca.

The Dragon Kingdom has existed since the very first game, everyone should know that's it's ruled by elders (guardians in LoS, I guess) and not an actual king.

The Voice Actor deleted the game test title Spyro's Kingdom off his page, probably because of Activision!

riverhippo · Oct 04, 2010 12:22 AM

I knew comments on Cynder's lack of true emotion would be made. I'm sorry about off topic but allow me to make a point.

It was revealed by Malefor that Spyro freed him, Malefor said Cynder 'brought him here'. How is that possible? When the two were shackled, it didn't show them being shackled together. And when Spyro woke, Cynder was already awake. What if she was in on it the whole time? Understand Cynder is a neutral character and doesn't know herself where she stands.

IF this is true, then Cynder's dialog would be mustard with insincerity and impurities, making Ricci's voice acting better than we give credit for. This is just one example of how deep the LoS story could be.

Aura24 · Oct 04, 2010 1:25 AM

Malefor meant Cynder brought his spirit back from Convexity while she was still under his evil influence near the end of ANB, while Spyro accidentally freed when he turned into Dark Spyro in TEN, riverhippo.

Guys, this topic is about the new next Spyro game that Activision has been keeping hidden from us, not about Cynder.
