Frickin' epic game!
Lay off Hunter!!
Did anybody else cry at the end of this? It was my understanding that this was the last spyro game- EVER. I swear I sobbed so hard... then I looked up something about it on the computer, and when I realized there would be more games, I felt like an idiot 
.

The LoS series were darker than the original games. In the LoS Spyro had more of a bigger quest.
Games are quite dark these days, aren't they?
One reason why I like older games better.
And that hasn't been confirmed; but it's likely to happen (or at least in 2013) because of how successful Skylanders is.

Has anybody else noticed how... DARK the stories are getting now? Like, the first games were so happy-go-lucky, and now...???? Hey, and does anybody know if there will be any more spyro games? Like, in 2012?
Agreed. Another LoS game wouldn't hurt, I'm just kinda worried about what they would do or what the story would be since they already defeated Malefor.
I thought the LoS story was good.
@LevanJess actually yes, the trilogy is quite satisfying by itself.

Some people were real happy it got canceled. I remember some people thought it was going to ruin the whole Spyro series, so they were happy it got canceled.
LoS was good, in my opinion. I'm perfectly happy with the 3 games it got, though.

Wow, some people were happy the movie got cancelled? i mean i believe id rather have the new game but i thought this game and the entire LOS trilogy was great, or at least good.
It hasn't really been confirmed whether or not there'll be more LoS, Skylanders, Classic, or another reboot game, but it's likely because Skylanders is selling so well and the demand for Spyro is big.
I remember the movie, I remember there being a lot of disappointed and a lot of happy people because it got canceled.

wait, they might continue or create a game similar to these? wow, that would be amazing. but im sure it would create some kind of riot if it never happened or was cancelled like the spyro movie.
Sorry that I did say it so it was hard to understand.
