I watched it, it was good but why is the tether there all the time? I thought that Cynder and Spyro would be able to go further away than that. But it was better than nothing!
It looked so cool! But ye know at a certant point you can see little purple balls. So I want to know what are they cuze I'm geussing you touch them and it telleport you elce where
The flying doesn't look so good... but I like the combat.

This made my day. The flying looks kinda annoying with that tether thing,but the landscapes are BEAUTIFUL!The combat looks cool,too.
I'm happy that the Wii version doesn't look that different at all from the Xbox360 version.:3

ahhh mabye it just me then ... oh well !
That looks pretty good! Well, the flying looks a bit edgy, but I guess it's still OK. Those fighting moves are AWESOME, though! It was cool when Spyro grabbed the skeleton and slammed it down to the ground!
O.o In the review it said that at the end some well-known characters will die!

The flying looks iffy, but the rest looks pretty good.
WOW, that flying bit was so incredible it almost moved me to tears, . It's hard to tell who's in control, or if its multiplayer mode. And skeletons! Wow, that's almost as good as zombies! And they can pick up things in their mouths? How neat!
omg pure awesomeness! man i cant wait =D
OMG! The video looks awesome and so are the Wii screenshots! And I was surprised that they can pick up that lantern. I only wonder what they do with it.
The Dawn of the Dragon picks up the story 10 years later thats what the texed says but i thought it was 3 AND "At the end the Spyro story is finished. Some known characters will die." maby one will die then afterall
being rescued from the frozen crystal by a cheetah - they're actually about to be sacrificed to the golem in the Catacombs, the game's first level
dose that meen hunter wernt going to save them but he was going to kill then??????

Soooooooooooooooooo awesomeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want it !!!!! MORE AND MORE I WANT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"(you won't have to take on the elite bad guys - they're for advanced players only)"
Does that mean OPTIONAL BOSSES? AWESOME
And if I read that right, we'll see the Manweersmalls and the apes (or what is left of them) again! Yay for recurring characters!

Why don't ya put the new screenshots in the gallery?
Optional bosses? Then there must be modes such as Easy, Normal, and Hard. I heard some had elemental sheilds.
wa 2 go eternalspyro!!! thanks
Those graphics are truely amazing...though the flying looked a bit choppy at times...

Yeah.

Yeah.
This game may not get great reviews. Also free flight needs to be changed, so that you can get more free space to roam around.
I hope that, perhaps as a game-completion unlockable, you will be able to go through the game with just one character(i.e., as just Spyro or Cynder by themselves), as that flying does seem... flawed, as it is. It shouldn't be hurt too much in single player by the tether, but in co-op, it could be annoying.
It won't let me watch the new video!
*Sniffs* The flying bit is so beautiful! I KNOW I'm going to love this game.
Me Too I Know I'll Love it :')
This looks awesome! I WANT IT NOW!!!
Looks pretty good for the Wii ,much better than TEN ,Ive always liked ANB graphic but I feel TEN didnt go anywhere with the graphics
the flying tether only seems to be there for co-op
in the comic con video the guy demistrates one of the flying parts and theres no tether.so obviously the people playing in this video have absolutly no idea what there doin, he he

The tether thing is probably there because there were probably two people playing the game.
It will probablly only be there for the Co-Op version.
Or, so I surmise.

But the "HD" TV we have only supports 480p (or i, I can't remember)! Damn old crap. ...But I'm also still using RCA cables for my PS3, so I think I'm gonna start pestering my mother to sell that huge thing so we can get a new TV.

I'd like to slap her/him. Lair was damn good, even if the motion control only option at first was impossible; after the patch(es), it's the best game I've EVER and probably ever will play.

Alright, I don't think this is worth 60 bucks.

They better have a training/free-form area like Lair then.

Like tapping the X button and left down pressing with Lair was bad enough for enough speed (and with the Wind Dragon, you can't even see straight).

What?

And it's sounding ruined.

I doubt it'll be useful against anything besides the little enemies that take one or two melees to kill.

That's cliche even to Manuel and I's roleplays in Yahoo Messenger!

I call that Iblis.

1) Yay, something from the older games I really liked;
2) Sounds like something Lair, like when you have to destroy the "Armory".
Quote:
At least I don't see "Mokai" in the dictionary like I do with "dragon".

Why would DRAGONS be doing this!?

Yeah, for Christmas.

Like I've thrown up enough in my mouth already!
I'm not happy at all with this. I think I'll wait until Christmas for this, or if everyone's whinning so much for help I'll get it. I couldn't be bothered to watch hardly any of the trailer either: the wing flapping sound was horrible, and I won't even START about the leash for them.

We're playing the 'next gen' versions - Xbox 360 and PS3 - and not only does Spyro look older but the gorgeous HD graphics give everything a more modern look.

"Let's start with the free form flying - Spyro and Cynder are able to fly wherever they want when above ground - the game will see a mix of indoor levels and open environments."
Nice...

"Our flying works differently to many games with flying," says Edith. "Superman or Lair were not very good. We understood why."
I'd like to slap her/him. Lair was damn good, even if the motion control only option at first was impossible; after the patch(es), it's the best game I've EVER and probably ever will play.
Quote:
Pressing A or X will set you off, but you have to almost rhythmically time your subsequent presses to keep you in the air and build up momentum.
Alright, I don't think this is worth 60 bucks.
Quote:
And, of course, on the PS3 version you'll be able to use the Sixaxis controller's motion-sensing technology to fly, Lair style, if you fancy that.
They better have a training/free-form area like Lair then.
Quote:
Puzzles are incorporated into the flying sequences, too. Spyro will be forced to carry items in his mouth at certain points, items which weigh him down and restrict his ability to fly.
Like tapping the X button and left down pressing with Lair was bad enough for enough speed (and with the Wind Dragon, you can't even see straight).
Quote:
In one sequence, one player needs to grip on to a boat while the other pulls by flying.
...
What?
Quote:
The God of War references come from the revamped, more complex combat system. Both Spyro and Cynder have four elements at their disposal, which consume elemental energy gathered from orbs. Spyro has fire, as you'd expect, ice, electricity and earth. But it's Cynder's elemental attacks which we're most interested in - poison, wind, fear and shadow - all nice and dark and evidence of Etranges Libellules' more mature approach with the title.
And it's sounding ruined.
Quote:
Each element has two separate attacks, one heavy and one light. Spyro's earth element, for example, fires an earth missile attack or, alternatively, brings an enemy-clearing earth boulder attack from the sky.
I doubt it'll be useful against anything besides the little enemies that take one or two melees to kill.
Quote:
"We wanted to have enemies that were made from existing materials," explains Edith. "Each of our enemies is made from a different element. They are destructible. Some of them even have elemental shields."
That's cliche even to Manuel and I's roleplays in Yahoo Messenger!
Quote:
Perhaps Spyro's most impressive foe, however, is an enormous golem so huge it's got a small town on its back. Think PS2 classic Shadow of the Colossus but even bigger.
I call that Iblis.
Quote:
The third level - the Valley of Avalar, thrust us in a fight to save a village from being burnt to a crisp. The village itself has a health bar, displayed at the bottom of the screen.
1) Yay, something from the older games I really liked;
2) Sounds like something Lair, like when you have to destroy the "Armory".
Quote:
The game's fourth level, which we got hands-on time with exclusively during our studio visit, is set in Dragon City itself.
At least I don't see "Mokai" in the dictionary like I do with "dragon".
Quote:
You spend your time repairing catapults and escorting artillery moles so that they can be fired into the incoming invasion force. It's actually quite intense - you need to keep the artillery moles alive so that they can fire the catapults by defeating the baddies that make it over the wall.
Why would DRAGONS be doing this!?
Quote:
...at times refreshing action game that's well worth keeping on your radar
Yeah, for Christmas.

The Dawn of the Dragon looks in great shape and should round the trilogy off nicely.

Keep your LoS: DotD hating comments to yourself, please.
Yep, no one can handle any one else's opinion any more.
@Shrazer: it's not like we can't handle your opinion, but if you really want to post negative comments you should at least explain why you don't like DotD. I mean, it's easy to go "LOLSUX" at every new feature in the game, but I feel that this kind of opinion on this kind of site could sound a little harsh to the main demographic here (that is, kids in their early teens).
If you took more time to explain why you didn't like this or that feature, I guess you wouldn't be nearly as hated.

what?! the anticipated length of the game is 8 to 10 hours
How do you download the gameplay? It's a little annoying since you can't get it from videogamer.

I did explain. If you couldn't see that, then that's not my problem.

I'll probably beat it within a week. xD I did with ANB and I think TEN took a week and a few days 'cause I died quite a lot. The one game that took me the longest to completly beat was Sonic Next Gen, and that took about a month.

You should be able to. If you're going to the one link with a lot of download links, keep trying and make sure you're downloading a video with .WMV (or the same in lowercase) since you should have Windows Media Player installed on your computer or the option too, and WMP is absolutly safe to use since it's made by MicroSoft. If you try to download a file with a .MOV (or lowercase) extension you'll have to have QuickTime on your computer, and that's made by Apple, plus it's a pain in the butt.

I mean, explain as in "tell us what's wrong with that feature", not "hay guise let's throw some obscure references in my rant and make everyone else go "WHAT" (Mokai? What's that? Iblis? Are you talking about Iblees or is it something else?)"
Besides, you didn't really explain a lot...

Right now I give the game a 65 out of 100
