Actually, the world does not need to be very large, just interesting, beautiful and detailed.

Im not really pointing towards a Spyro RPG, just a LoS game in which more of the world is explored.

I just can't get enough of fantasy worlds when they are presented in non RPG games like Elder Scrolls of Fallout. When i saw Spyro and Cynder wheeling through the sky at the end of DotD my reaction was:

" No.No! NOOOOO! YOU DO NOT LEAVE ME HANGING ON A SEMI-CLIFFHANGER! I NEED CLOSURE GOD DAMMIT! "

Im a sucker for epilogues, i don't like to see my favorite characters in video games ending with and uncertain and unspecified future. I need something tangible and solid, not a cheap cop out.

It's like Harry Potter. You feel sad it ended and you don't want it to end, but you feel closure as you know the characters futures and you have no need for frustration as everything is over and well.

DotD left us with unanswered questions. Where are all the dragons? Are they in hiding or nearly exterminated? What happens with the world afterwards? Do Spyro and Cynder reunite with the rest of the characters? Does Sparx and the rest even know that they are alive? Oh, and 2/5th's of the world is floating in space after it was nearly ripped in to shreds, what about that?

Not to mention Legacy of Kain: Defiance. You best check it out yourself, the series is complicated, and it might not get a sequel as the aforementioned game bombed at the box office.

If you are going to make a cliffhanger and leave unanswered questions, you have to make sure that there will be a sequel, or at least make sure those questions are answered, one way or another.

In your idea, would Ripto have a comedic element to him? I hope not, they had a good thing going on with Malefor, even if they did screw him up royal.

And, yeah, old, reimagined characters would be awesome smile

I have several ideas about the gameplay. Old co-op with Spyro and Cynder or multiple characters ( Hunter and the rest ) and that you can switch to them and even play it online with friends.

Always wanted to play Hunter from DotD. Jumping like a maniac and shooting arrows....even if he was horribly acted and was kind of useless in the entire game.

But a part of me says that the game should be about Spyro and Cynder alone. Having five characters that you can play as whenever you want seems a bit to much. I don't know.....

@OhWellIfYouSaySo To be honest, I'd rather see a good storyline, solid gameplay and the charm that was present in ANB than playable characters in LOS.

That's just my opinion, though.

Don't forget music. Music is especially important to games. It makes those memories which last with me forever. LOS had awesome music and has now stuck in my head. Valley of Avalar looks and sounds amazing.

The Elder Scrolls also has great music, but Morrowind's music is better than Oblivion's. I dunno if that's just the nostalgia talking, though.

On a side note, I like your avatar. It's very cool. smile

More great music comes from Medal Of Honor: Frontline and Red Dead Redemption.

Bottom line, i liked the LoS Soundtrack. Got really epic by the third game.
