I don't believe Krome made this game. Krome made ANB and TEN, while I believe Sierra made DotD.

I wish Krome made the game as well. I think it would be a lot different.

Thanks for seeing me out.
And I see your point as well. He does have a little personality, especially in ANB, but it's really only sadness and caring/love I see from him.

yes you do have an excellent point and IMO spyro has a little personality but i do see what you are saying. he does have more personality in the first 4

Yes, Purple, but he could've showed something. I see other characters in other games with as good graphics as LoS, yet they show emotion and facial expressions.

Foxishsolitude, you seem to not know what a personality is, then.
He had a much bigger personality in 1-4.

He was stubborn, he was angry or happy at parts, he didn't mope around the whole time, some said he was arrogant, he had a sense of humor, and he actually showed a little emotion.
That's not all, either, I don't think.
Classic Spyro did have a personality, unlike LoS Spyro.

whatt personality does he show in the first games??

He is cute but doesnt have that much personality - just as much as tlos has!
avatar
#9333 Purple 02:36:52 12/11/2011
i understand but pixels and graphics can only show so much emotion. it would look kinda silly if he cried or did a big smile! smilie lololollol

So? It's not a good excuse.

He doesn't have a personality, and he should like nearly ever other game characters who know all this bad stuff will happen: Show some emotion, maybe a little personality?

I can use Classic Spyro here. He knew all this bad stuff could happen, like Ripto and the Sorceress, but yet he still showed a personality.

@jevanless i agree but v

well, why should he have one, i meen really,

he has no family left(exept sparx) and only a 50% chance of not dying, hes knows the world could easly end quick because of malefor, and tons of other bad stuff"s,

why should he, no offence,
