Spyro... what are they doing to you? You had your fun, and you and your owners agreed and moved onto better things. What went wrong? Was it all the bad games after Year of the Dragon? Heroes Tale was pretty good, but it wasn't just about you, and you were the most interesting.

In a less sympathetic and more cold tone, I think Activision is looking to replace it's Guitar Hero Cash Cow. Why, it can't survive just on Blizzard games and COD despite both making Billions each year.

In other words, I am sad that Spyro is getting milked. I hope Crash Bandicoot doesn't get milked by whoever owns that right now.

Calumon: 32? But I don't have that kind of money...
I swear if they start milking Crash i will go ballistic =w=
Spyro had its run Activision
Nothing was the same after it hit the Ps2 T_T

Ah, I knew there was a reason they would give up on Guitar Hero. They already had a new cash cow in the works.

Except this isn't the past. The kids of todays generation who are the same age we were when we loved Spyro are obsessing over Call of Duty and Halo.

No.


No. That is not Spyro. At all. Whatsoever. At least the Legend series was mildly interesting and had good art design, damn it! Hell, even the old-school cartoony Spyro that got me into video games in the first place looked a hell of a lot better than that... that... HORRID MUTATED SEWER ABOMINATION. I'm now going to disregard the extra ending of Dawn of the Dragon (yes, I liked it) and say Spyro died, he got crushed by the planet's core, and this thing is just some thing that congealed in a garbage disposal somewhere. I was really hoping for a remake of the first one with DoD's graphics, too, that would have been beautiful. But no, you have to go and kill my first game <_<

I think my childhood has finally died. I don't take that phrase lightly, and I've seen many things I liked when I was younger destroyed, but this has finally killed it.

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU SPYRO?? ;-;

I remember getting the Spyro trilogy along with the PS1 and they were awesome for me. This is just pathetic. It should have ended once the PS1 died, or at least at the most recent game.

This is almost as bad as what happened to Crash Bandicoot.

Honestly I have low expectations. The last Spyro I actually enjoyed was Year of the Dragon.

Spyro brings back memories of my childhood. It was my first console game and I loved it. The original trilogy is still amazing to play nowadays.

Unless it's an HD remake of those games, I have no interest in another Spyro game. His series died a well deserved death along with Crash Bandicoot. I don't know why different companies keep digging them up and desecrating their corpses.

(Has anyone seen the new art style? It's worse than the "Legend of Spyro" trilogy)

...Honestly... I almost cried when I saw that. It looks like what it is... Spyro has slept in the same bed as Activision, caught a nasty VD from the promiscuous company, and his already pallid self is being eaten from within by it... *sighs*

Shame, really... I used to really enjoy this series, it's depressing to see it become what this is.

No no no no NO NOO NOOO!!!

Why can't anyone else except Insomniac realise that Spyro needs not shitty gimmicks or Elijah Wood to make it sell? A Spyro game isn't about a crappy emotional story or scanning in toys and trading cards!

A Spyro game is a jump and collect adventure: three home worlds, tons of gems, orbs to discover, speedways to conquer and eggs to rescue from those dudes that go NA NA NANA NA!!

Wait, theyre offering what is effectively DLC, but without the DL part?

Only people I think are going to buy this are people who have no shame in looking like nerds for a ruined franchise, or kids who havent been exposed to thier first Wii.

Some of us would have been better off without that knowledge...
Going to get my brain bleach and a heavy, heavy dose of horror games.

Sounds interesting, but I don't think Spyro is popular enough to move toys anymore.

Edit: Just saw the design. Even if it is still popular enough to move toys, it certainly won't be after this is done.

Allow me to explain, when Isomniac (Spyro) and Naughty Dog (Crash) bought themselves from Vivendi (at the time Vivendi Universal) for some reason the IRP's for Crash and Spyro were left with Vivendi, who handed them to Activision, who promtly ran them both into the ground.

Two of the assortted reasons why I hate Activision, and Vivendi.

Is it strange that as I read the title I had this strange image of Spyro being raped in my head? I hate it when knowledge causes me nothing but misery.

If "Webkins" had an audience, so will this.

What in the fuck is that thing?! That is not Spyro. Or maybe it is. Risin from the grave against its will and mutated beyond recognition.

God dammit. Why can't they just let Spyro die? Why must they rape the corpse like this?
