Eghhh I'm sick of developers beating around the bush in interviews, just answer the dam question!

Aura24 · May 30, 2011 5:53 PM

You mean the publishers. They try not to reveal too much on the future of the franchise.

ontels · May 30, 2011 9:08 PM

Publishers then. I don't mind them not releasing info on the future but answer the questions about the game itself strait at least.

If this is a natural change for the series, then rosie o donald should be miss october this year.

I think this game's looking pretty good right now. Course it could still go either way, but at least this interview implied there will be swimming (for non-fire characters) and flying. Sounds like a fun game, hope we keep getting new info!

Right now I'm guessing this game will be better than Legend of Spyro but not as good as the classics. It would take a whole lot for me to acknowledge ANY game as better than Year of the Dragon.

Aura24 · Jun 01, 2011 2:22 AM

Yeah, I can't wait to try swimming out, but only the water-based characters, like Gill Grunt, are able to swim.

JakBandiFan · Jun 01, 2011 1:40 PM

Okay, I've gone to see the trailer and I just don't get why 98% of the comments were pure whining. So what if Spyro looks different? Look at the Elder Scrolls - the characters' designs change in every game. Don't believe me? Google it.

Rants aside, Activision could mess this up. I mean, they nearly made Infinity Ward bankrupt and Tony Hawk Ride did not go down well at all...

So far it looks good but I'm worried that once I get this game, the characters may move really slowly, each level may have 1 minute load times and the game might be a 2nd ETD. How likely is this to happen? neutral

Well of course they had to change Mario a little if they were ever going to put him in anything but a 2D game. In fact, I think he looks about as similar as he possibly could to his 2D counterparts while still progressing with technology. Spyro, on the other hand, has never been 2D, and most of his redesigns were pretty unnecessary. I'm looking at you, DotD Spyro.

And before you all whine at me for whining, I'm not; I'm not even interested in this game at all, so I couldn't care less what he looks like. Just wanted to point that out.

JakBandiFan · Jun 01, 2011 6:54 PM

Stormy, just being disinterested in a game is not whining. I was talking about the whining comments on the Skylanders trailer such as:

"Insomniac, PLEASE COME BACK!!!!!"

"Insomniac made a big mistake when they sold Spyro."

"What the F*** is this??!!"

Just to let you know. roll

Aura24 · Jun 01, 2011 7:01 PM

Those fans failed to know that Insomniac never owned the rights to Spyro in the first place.

Toys for Bob spent 3 years on this game and are close to completing it. How are they rushing it?

Spash the Bandragon · Jun 01, 2011 8:53 PM

ontels · Jun 01, 2011 11:06 PM

I hope there is underwater exploration! You get Gill Grunt in the starter pack anyway.

Or maybe they'd just lose the ability to carry the data with them. Hopefully the data can be accessed without having to use the portal.

ontels · Jun 02, 2011 8:39 AM

You can say that for anything though. If a kid is stupid enough to lose all three toys and the portal then what’s stopping him from losing the discs for all his other games?

Maybe it will be a mix of linear and free-roaming. That would at least be truer to Spyro's orignis that A New Beginning was.

Also bear in mind that in order to get 100%, we know'd you'd have to have at least 8 toys (one of each element). And given this game is marketed at children, I doubt the game makers are expecting many people to bother doing that, so my money's on very little to no 100% completion extras. The element-only paths will likely be there for XP and extra weapons, not a "Gotta Catch Em All" like the originals.

This game isn't making fun of Spyro. -_- That's only in the perspective of Spyro fans who don't like this game since day 1 and hasn't moved on to other things..
