I'm actually glad Krome studio's isnt making any more spyro games. > : (
I didnt want to be stuck with the same thing again. The first 2 were ok to me but I want something new. Etranges Libellules is doing a good job so far with what i see.

I don't know nyro. Just write the story your game would follow. Maybe start at the time when Spyro/Sparx have kids, or the time when the children are old enough to fight. Just use your imagination.

Well, I just hope they add some new elements to the gameplay. I really hated the first two LoS games, because the gameplay was repetitive was repetitive was repetitive was repetitive was repetitive...

I mean, the story rocks, but the gameplay was boring as hell. The slow-motion things got stupid after the first 10 times doing them, and fighting mob after mob of the same enemies throughout the entire game just bored the hell out of me.

The hell? "Dawn of the Dragon" ? I thought it was going to be called "The Darkest Hour".

And whatever happened to Krome Studios? What, did they give up on it, and pass it on to another developer? WTF!
