It's just a toy thing. They all do it. Even Hasbro has recolorings of the main characters of My Little Pony and then labels them under a different name. Most bronies embrace this 'cloned' generation of ponies.

yes but that still dos'nt hide the fact its lazy

Latias fan · Aug 20, 2011 5:13 PM

It's called Palette swaping. It's lazy very lazy and unacceptable in this day and age

Clock-la · Aug 20, 2011 9:45 PM

Not even in the PS2 era. I would say it's only acceptable during the SNES/Genesis days and anything before that.

Well, Dark Spyro had Convexity breath in one of the screenshots, so it looks like it's not completely a pallet swap. I think they'll at least give Dark Spyro some different moves from normal Spyro or something.

Clock-la · Aug 21, 2011 4:18 PM

prehaps its either that or go for the lazy

"better breath and more POWARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!1111"

BTw i like your username spash. very clever.

Hay come on guys this would only be his third appirinc in video game that featur spyro and any video game series.

A palette swap appeared in AHT with Flame and Spyro with exactly the same moves and everything. I think Ember was one too.

Question:

do you get dark spyro sepretly of dose spyro count as Dark spyro?

if you need to get him sepretly then i rest my case about this been a money making scam

Aura24 · Aug 26, 2011 4:40 PM

You get Dark Spyro in the 3DS Starter Pack, along with Stealth Elf and Ignitor.

And that game was during the PS2/Xbox generation therefore it's inexcusable.

@Aura24

So you get it with the game only for the 3DS? Wow that blows chunks.

Things I have learned:

-Flamesligner's a dude.

-There are 40 hats total in the game, all of them adding to the characters' attributes. The hates are earned, not sold.

-Stump Smash is a tree character that has been logged. Interesting. Almost as if a half-*bleep* background was created for the character, at least.

-Paul Reiche got pwnd. He's not a very good at video games and makes a horrible presenter and spokesman. Probably just stick to designing the things, Paul.

Aura24 · Aug 27, 2011 9:17 AM

And poor Sonic Boom. Her backstory is heart-breaking; her hatchlings can only live for mere moments before they magically return to their egg shells only to be hatched again in an endless cycle...

JakBandiFan · Aug 27, 2011 11:51 AM

The backstories are actually good. And my mother can play games better than Paul tongue

Spash the Bandragon · Aug 27, 2011 6:22 PM

Even though the art and characters are completely different, Skylanders still reminds me of classic Spyro. The idea of grabbing rockets to fire at enemies is very old-school-Spyro-esque.

I think Skylanders looks really fun. But just one thing: If winning the "battle mode" gives you XP, couldn't you easily level up all the characters just by having player 2 always throw the match? Seems like an obvious loophole...

Aura24 · Aug 28, 2011 7:09 AM

New screens:

riverhippo · Aug 29, 2011 1:00 AM

if these are accurate screenies of ps3 or 360 versions, then the shadings and number of polygons in the overall graphics is turning out better than I imagined. And it looks like Bash is attacking some sort of boss.

Aura24 · Aug 29, 2011 1:26 AM

Yea those are the 360 and PS3 screens.

spyro17 · Aug 30, 2011 12:42 AM

I like the look of bash and dark spyro plus Stelth elf and I find that sad what you said about sonicboom's babys always turning back into eggs she must also feel very sad.
