Spyro's Back, and He Brought Toys

- Start date
Bah Jak and Daxter has already been slightly milked, the racing game and Final Frontier. I just pray they leave it there, that was my all time favourite game/game series/character/duo. You hear me developers, Jak and Daxter is OFF LIMITS!HeySeansOnline said:
The real question is, why would Joel Cohen sign up for this game when it seems obvious that it's going to be total shit?Plazmatic said:
So they pretty much took one of my most beloved childhood video game series and turned it into some greedy money grubbing gimmick?
And they changed Spyro's look and turned him into something that belongs in nightmares?
There are only three words that can describe how I feel.
"F**K you Activision".
Seriously what is it with developers using the Spyro franchise to make their own games that have almost nothing to do with the original?
Wasn't The Legend of Spyro series enough torture?

Oh come on guys, the redesign can't be that-WHOA!!
Why does he scare me?
The original art was at least good enough. Hell, I would have settled with the newer version. But this? This just freaks me out.

I have no idea why they changed the Spyro design. It looks creepy and ugly; at first when I saw it, I thought it was a joke. Do they seriously expect that design to appeal to kids?
Also, maybe this is just me, but this seems like a more inconvenient version of DLC. Although I guess it'll be more fun for kids.

Actually, if they wanted to, they could milk Crash too as it now belongs to them.Jack and Calumon said:
OT: Holy shit... poor old Spyro is going the Sonic way... and even worse, at the hands of Activision. My condolences to the poor old dragon.
I was going to say, "I would be too cheap to buy the game, itself. But I would not mind having a Spyro action figure for my nerdly shelf." Until I saw the redesign.
Holy cow on a bun! That had better be Spyro's mutant inbred half-brother/cousin.
The Spyro of the Legend of and Original series was cute and likeable. This one? It makes me shudder. What on Earth were they thinking?

I grew up on the first three Spyro games, I loved them and I logged more hours into those games then anything else before or since, but now it is just another one of Activision's money cows?
Why! Why did this have to happen to my favorite dragon! How could this get any...

Nope. He's like sonic.JeanLuc761 said:
OT: I refuse. I refuse to accept this as reality, I refuse to acknowledge their is another spyro game, and I refuse to support this by buying it. And yes, I can do that. I know this will sell, and will be popular, but I am not touching this game with a ten foot pole. No thank you!
Damn. For a second, I saw Spyro. Then I saw Activision. My brain said "Isn't Insomniac working on something with a publisher other than Sony? IS INSOMNIAC MAKING A NEW SPYRO GAME FOR ACTIVISION?! HOLY SHIT THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!"
And then I read the part about $70 and toys.
Guess it's my fault for not remembering the full details of what Insomniac is doing (I did some searching after; it's a brand new IP with EA apparently) that I'm now super disappointed. But beyond that: some nonsense toy gimmick? This is exactly why we don't want Activision to buy Take Two. I can see GTA V now; You want that new AK-47 before taking on a tough mission? Best take your ass down to Toys'R'Us and get yourself the GTA V brand AK-47 toy, or you're going into that warehouse filled with rival gang members with nothing but a pistol and a knife.
"Aw, sweet crispy crap! That's a bad scene right there!"

... I am unable to think of words on my own to describe that, so I will now quote Louie from Hotel Dusk: Room 215.MasochisticMuse said:

Well, yeah. Of course IGN thinks $10 per character is no big deal. They get a hell of a lot more than that from the publisher to give games positive reviews. $10 is nothing to them; hell, Activision will probably send them a box of the toys for free if it means an extra 5 points on the game's review score.captainjackofms said:
Hey now, to be fair, Lost Frontier was actually a pretty decent game. They could have put more effort towards having the story make sense, but the gameplay was pretty damn good. Lost Frontier was a much greater credit to its franchise than this new Spyro game looks to be, or anything that has had "Sonic" in the title since 1998.Anaklusmos said:
Pretty sad to see, Spyro was one of my favourite games when I was younger. Same thing happened to Crash when Naughty Dog sold the rights to it.
I grew up on spyro, and to be perfectly honest, I don't mind the new model (It doesn't look THAT awful in motion) And would be positively excited about a decent composer, decent character designer (remember how awesome the original shrek characters were?) Screenwriters from Toy Story? This is what needs to happen for childrens games!
Then basing it all around a gimmick which involves buying toys? "The Merch" anyone?
That annoys me.
This could have been a title that would have persuaded me to get a console, but instead, it just pushes me further away. I'd definitely shell out if I could see decent remakes of the old ps1/2 platformers on the ps3.
