People get used to the original, then have to adapt to the new, then it gets switched back just as they've accepted the new style? Some people may not care so long as the story is good, but it's too much of a risk to chance. When you switch art styles, it's not smart to suddenly go back to the old way of doing it. The new style comes at a critical, deepening point in the storyline.

You're going along, browsing through a comic and getting into it, and all of a sudden the entire art style changes. The way I see this, people wanting Krome back, makes me think of comics.

People may prefer the Krome appearance, but from a stability, financial and developmental standpoint, Sierra stuck their foot into a new design and would be smart to stick with it, and not risk losing fans due to flip-flopping between styles. Krome could make them more mature in appearance, but even that graphic switch would irk a lot of people. Now that they've created a more mature Spyro and he's known to be more grown-up after his media attention, people will be expecting the mature Spyro. Casual players might not notice, but jumping back and forth from one to another inherently makes people question wtf is going on with the game. I dunno XDДЄ graphical switchback would be bad for them. Maybe it froze time for them on another level, like a spiritual level or something, leaving their material forms to develop as the years passed. That kinda makes it not a 'time' crystal as we were told, but meh.kinda hard to explain. They're still alive obviously, so maybe they were sustained inside while their bodies developed. Kinda like cryogenic freezing or something. Growing up in the crystal.that's another thing I don't get, but my theory is that they were 'preserved' in a time crystal, not flat-out frozen. I guess they were going for the inherent 'cool' appearance but beyond that, I don't get it. It worked with her evil adult form in ANB because she was full-grown, but for DotD they really should've given her something more 'flexible'. How the **** does she grow with those on? The one on her neck will choke her in a year or two. In their Krome forms, it would've been more 'ACynder's iron bands, I really cannot understand. I mean, take the ending, Cynder's confession. Spyro and Cynder could have kept going with their 'cute' Krome builds, but having them look more mature really brought a better atmosphere IMO. The plot-hole thing happens when you have to make changes. But who knows, it's possible they'll be compassionate XD

I hope they're smart and offer a PS2 version for us Spyro fans too poor or limited to get a next-gen console, but I doubt they will the PS2 and PS3/Xbox/Wii versions are essentially different copies, each made for the specific console, and it would probably save Sierra time and money to not make a downgraded version for PS2.

Given the rate at which series are dropping the PS3, I don't think the purple dragon will see PS2 after DotD that's just how it rolls. I hope so too, PS3s and Xbox are too expensive even the mighty PS2 is being outmoded for the 3's super graphics and processor speed. *bleep*!i hope new games come to ps2 too because mom dosen`t want new consoles in house I think I asked taht question, cant seem to find the forum anymore though.ДЄnyway, this proves my point, Sierra Purposely changed the Models of Spyro and Cynder to look older.

#Dawn of the dragons forums update#

Since this was the first time Spyro was on the next-generation consoles, we had to update the model to take advantage of the new technology on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Had we made the game with Krome, its difficult to say what would have happened, but I'm sure there would have still been some changes. It was also a good time to make this change given that it was the 10 year anniversarry for the Franchise. We didn't want to change it too much, but it was a good opportunity to allow the characters to grow up a bit (just like many of the fans were growing up too). The team came up with a variety of concepts and we settled on what you see in DotD. We also had to make some changes to allow for the new gameplay features, such as needing larger wings to work with the flight feature and to allow the characters to block with their wings. Regarding your question, when we began working with the new team at EL, we took the opportunity to explore different looks and 'ages' for Spyro and Cynder. I found the response to it by Chris Wilson on the Sierra forums before it was closed down to be reopened at the Activision site sometime in early April.
