Skylanders was originally going to be a darker Spyro Game

You know Avatar the Last Airbender was great, if they can honestly do something similar then i have no problems

With Activision at the helm, who knows what the future holds for Spyro. I personally would like the story from LoS to continue but a mature rating is too far. Blood and heavy violence just isnt Spyro. However, I could see a scene potentially where Spyro sacrifices himself for Cynder then goes into a purgatoryish state, kinda like what happens after Voldemort kills Harry Potter in Deathly Hallows. Then Spyro comes back and saves the day again

Spoiler tag that *bleep*

even though i feel like anything would be better than todays skylanders i am interested in seeing what they would have done to spyro in a more mature sense. I wonder if we could find some of that concept art! that would be really cool if someone could find that!

I'll pretend he's trolling with a fake spoiler.

People who care about Harry Potter still haven't read the last book? How? XD

Anyway, I don't think that would be a good idea; I'd rather them do something original for once.

Please put a spoiler tag on that, it could really upset some people.

If you ask me, there are A) games that a dark feeling works for, B ) games that a cartoony playful feel works for, and C) games that can survive a nice mix. Spyro fits under options A) and C). I'm a bit biased here, not having played the TLoS games, but I just do not see that as Spyro, it feels like it takes itself a bit too seriously, and like I said, that works for some games, I just don't see it working for Spyro. Skylanders seems like it fits into option C), which is nice.

Much darker than before Spyro games?
TBH, I found the TLOS trilogy Dark enuf already tongue

Jackson117 · Jul 13, 2011 4:07 AM

Classic had at few times dark themes, like tearing off wings off baby dragons.

ontels · Jul 13, 2011 12:03 PM

What game did they do that in?

Jackson117 · Jul 13, 2011 1:03 PM

Year of the Dragon

ontels · Jul 13, 2011 3:00 PM

I don't remember that at all what happned?

JazzJackrabbit · Jul 13, 2011 3:53 PM

It was the Sorceress's reason for taking the eggs. She never got to that step.

LoS wasnt really that dark, it was just more dramatic.

Created a blasted profile so i could post this here.

Anyway, i think that a mature Spyro game ( prefferably a LoS Sequel ) would be great. Spyro is a part of my childhood and i want my memories to grow old with and mature with me.

I don't necessarily mean that it should have gore, swearing, or, Odin forbid, M rated material o_O , but mature characters and a well developed story.

Things that also come to mind, is actual GOOD humor by Sparx, not stupid, gut churning comic relief and inventive and wondorous enviroments and briliantly designed enemies.

I found the enviroments in TLoS:DotD to be mostly well made, but not really well named, and i hold much scorn for The Burned Lands which only confirmed my suspicions that every snigle person that worked on the team read The Lord of the Rings as they had no immagination.
