Talk:Spyro: Year of the Dragon

message: I am not sure wether this is worth noting, but the Agent 9 minigames parody shooter games. The Dinosaur one is much like Point Blank or Time Crisis, in that you shoot from a set track, and I remember there being one much like Doom.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Floating Banana (talk • contribs) 08:27, May 28, 2007 (UTC)
Those parodies are trivial. Michael Mad 14:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless we can verify it to a reliable source, otherwise, we can just leave it at the fact that they parody other games.  --Stratadrake 15:40, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Alot More Stuffs

thread_title: Contradicting dates

message: can be found on the imdb site and yeah we need more screenshots and more content this is a boring page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phantomthedubber (talk • contribs) 
:Voice actors are not an important element to include unless there is more content than simply a list. Screenshots much be tempered by Wikipedia's non-free content criteria, which is why there are so few. Finally, if you have reliable sources that can be used to add more content, we would love to see it. --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 20:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  I'll be proud to tell my kids I chipped in 

message: Given that this only has a very crude skateboarding minigame not at all comparable in quality or duration to real skating games like Tony Hawk's, should it be included? I remember that Metal Gear Solid 2 had a somewhat decent skating minigame too, but that isn't included. And since this also has other minigames like racing and shooting, but isn't included in those game categories, should it not be removed? Richard001 (talk) 23:07, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see no point to including it. If anything, I'd say the categorization is misleading and would lead to confusion. (Guyinblack25 talk 23:21, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Instead of edit-warring over this... mentioning that this game was mentioned in a shooter's manifesto is absolutely undue weight. There is no coverage of Spyro as meaningfully contributing to the shooter, no coverage specifically on Spyro in relation to the shooter, and even the supplied source for the statement makes it clear that its inclusion is trolling, not a serious comment by the shooter. So I don’t see how this is important enough for inclusion in the article at all, let alone the lead (where it shouldn’t be anyhow, if there’s no additional commentary in the article proper.)

thread_title:  Shootings Manifesto 

message: Through Twitter, I found an old version of Insomniac's website, and it lists Year of the Dragon as coming out on October 11th, not the 24 like the GameSpot source. (https://web.archive.org/web/20040603044950/http://www.insomniacgames.com/html/games/spyro3/index.html). I was wondering what source we should use. JCW555 (talk) 18:49, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
