Spyro the Dragon

[Arluza]

I love the first three games to death, with Ripto's Rage (Gateway to Glimmer for those of you in England) being the best. Still have the discs, actually.

I also enjoy the Legend of Spyro trilogy as well. Though I belong to a minority to that.

Owned and beat the first 3 on the PS1 and Enter the Dragonfly and Hero's Tale on the Gamecube. Didn't like the last 2 so much, but the first 3 were awesome! Those were my favorite games as a kid. In fact, thats where I got my username.

The new Spyro needs to die, though.

That picture of "new Spyro" made me so sad the PS1 Spyros are so so awesome. I've got one of the PS2 ones but ... urgggghhh ... it's awful, made worse with them shoehorning in Gnasty Gnork.

Spyro 3 was my first real introduction to platform gaming, asides from playing Mario on my friends N64, and because of this I still say it's better than Crash. Although in my heart I have a sneaking suspicion Crash is better.

I was more of a Rayman 1 (only 1) and Oddworld fan. Crash Bandicoot was also at the top of my list followed by Spyro. Good times. Now, there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING except RTS's that make me want to play games.

Good as a child, sucked as an adult.


So boring now... the humor is dry and the platforming is bad

The humour sucks but what's wrong with the platforming? I think it's brilliant, certainly no worse than most other platformers out there.

Yes i did own and play it. I thought it was great back then.

I call fake and refuse any proof if only to protect my memories.

Spyro, along with Crash Bandicoot, gave me all the PSOne platforming goodness I could ever want.

Same here.
Spyro 2 + 3, crash 1+2+3.
I was also obsessed with digimon world for PS1 but crash is the best

I'm sorry. It's very, very real.

On an unrelated note, that fucking captcha shit we have to do, half of them are fucking unreadable.

I've played a couple of them and really did enjoy the old PS1 ones.

I loved Spyro, I still pick it up every so often but later ones just don't do it for me. Same with Crash Bandicoot.

Oh my god, it's like Spyro had a baby with the Crazy Frog!

 

[Solo-Wing]

I love Spyro. I especially love the legend of Spyro. That was a great series.

KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE! AND BURN DOWN THE SEIRRA BUILDING!

I will not allow one of my childhood heroes look like... THAT. I just barely accepted Teen Spyro in TLoS: Dawn of the dragon. BUT THAT!?

The hell are you talking about? There were only three Spyro games, except for the crossover ones with Crash Bandicoot.

OT: Of course I know Spyro. The Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot: Warped were the first games I ever had on the PS1. I got the other two of both series later.

 

[Harry Mason]

Spyro the Dragon, Spyro: Ripto's Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon are still my favorite platformers of the PS1 era. I still have all three and I go back and play them occasionally to remind myself of how good level design is done. Insomniac rules.

Thank you for mentioning those games here. Made me happy.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

Loved the first three games. Which are the only ones that count. I keep meaning to play them again (went and got them on the PSN network) but haven't gotten around to it.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

I still like the old Spyro games.

Oooh! Hang on...I have a picture here somewhere that perfectly encompasses my feelings....

Yes, I threw this together in like 5 seconds in MS Paint after I found out about the new character design and direction the new game will be taking.

The previous games hurt the series because they were bad, this feels like they're deliberately pissing on the series corpse.

Serria is dead, its Activision doing this now. Go ahead, nobody in our world will care. You might even get a medal...

Ah, Flak cannons. Spyro has succumbed to peer pressure. AND BECAME GRITTY AND REALISTIC! $10 he has a gun in this one and smokes cigars while sleeping with that annoying farie thing, Sparks was it?

Also... I miss Sgt. Byrd...

Sgt. Byrd was rummaging around in some of the later games, but with a Jetpack.

Seriously, what the fuck was that?
