The Spyro series

We all know what goes on...the first three Spyro games were beast, and I adore them. Then Playstation 2 was taking over, and started off with Legend of the Dragonfly. To be honest, I kinda like LotD. Then came A Hero's Tail, I though it was eh. Then the Legend of Spyro series/reboot, I hated it. Then the upcoming Skylanders, by the talentless money loving Activision who seem to give no damn about Spyro, but gave a damn about figurines, and decided to fuck up Spyro like I never imagined. So in the end, I'm not looking forward to Skylanders...and I ask one question, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU SPYRO?!

Anyways, I still love Spyro, but his business with the other companies should've been done a whole LOT better. Discuss.

I loved Enter the Dragonfly, it was probably the last good Spyro game made. I have all the Spyro classics on PS1 downloaded on my PSP. A Hero's Tail was just a mess, to the point where Spyro himself irritated the hell outta me as the game went on. They could've done a much better job for a Spyro/Crash Bandicoot crossover. The finished product they gave was just not up to expectations. The Legend of Spyro series was just bland and generic with it's storylines, but I enjoyed playing them more than a Heroes Tail. Now this Skylanders crap, you can just tell they're just in it for the money. It barely feels like a Spyro game, and you probably wouldn't be able to tell it was a Spyro if "Spyro" wasn't in the title. They should just leave the purple dragon alone.

I loved the Spyro series. I played the very first game and Year of the Dragon.
I also played the Spyro Orange and Crash Bandicoot Purple crossover.
I didn't really like A Hero's Tail when I played it.

I honestly wish Insomniac will take the franchise back and give us a quality Spyro game. I could say the very same for Naughty Dog and Crash Bandicoot, but the chances of either of those happening are fucking zip.

Actually, I think they would do that for Crash. But not so much for Spyro because, well, isn't Spyro coming out with a new game? But Crash hasn't come out with a new game in a little bit, so either the series is done, they're making a shitty game, or they're taking their time to make an actually good game. But not Spyro.

Naughty Dog has pretty much cut its ties with Crash, so another lameass company will be making a new game, hopefully I'll be wrong once and if a new game actually comes out, but that is some high hope. I'm just hoping Crash will be laid to rest already.

Spyro's new game looks like shit. Won't be buying it or it's money-hungry merchandise.

Well even though its already been said. The first couple Spyro games were pretty good stuff, so I hear. I wish I had the first Playstation so I could actually play those games.

Once I got a PS2, I wanted to give a Spyro game a shot. I started off with A Hero's Tail since I never located LotD. I thought to myself "Why are these games popular?". Then, more and more bad Spyro games were shoved down our throats.

Both this series and Crash Bandicoot, since its been mentioned already in this thread, need a real reboot. Give these franchises to someone who can actually do something positive with them because once upon a time, these were first class franchises.

Just to let you know, the PS2 is backwards compatible with the original PS games.

Yeah I know. How do you think I experienced the Twisted Metal franchise?

What I meant was that I wish I had one when the Playstation was relevant. I mean I don't know why I never bought any of the original Spyro games, but that whole PS statement could have been worded a lot better on my part. xD

Yes the old PSX days was a great time o be a gamer. I find it hard to believe now that Crash was once the Mario, so to speak, for Sony. Spyro was up in that alley, hard to believe.

Oh, I get it. xP You can still get the Spyro games though. I get games for my NES from either Amazon or the store in my neighborhood that sells old video games.

The old spyro games were better.

This man speaks the truth.

Okay, so we have spoken the truth about the new games like hundred times, so let's talk about...um...whatever was good in the games.

I love the gameplay and music. The game wasn't repetitive and the music was easy on the eardrums.

I know this has been discussed a lot, but I'm going to make one thing perfectly clear about Activision: they're just plain dumbasses. Spite the E10+ rating for the upcoming upchuck pile of a game, they don't give a shit about the original fanbase, what they care about for the game is KIDS KIDS THIS GAME IS FOR KIDS WHO DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL SPYRO IS! As for the hate mail and stuff, it's pretty unfortunate that people of Activision have an oblvious personality. So still, they should put down their Call of Duty games and put in a lot more effort the next time. Enough said, maybe next time, I'll torture myself with playing the three original Spyro games.

How would that be torturing yourself? D:

Activision are even bigger idiots for dropping True Crime: Hong Kong right in the middle of development. Fortunately, Square Enix managed to pick it up.

On the subject of Spyro, Activision is only re-branding Spyro and making it for kids because kids are the only ones who will be buying those action figures to import to the game. They just pull the strings on what kids these days love most. I just wish they take Spyro's name out of the title.

Stearo The Sellout Dragon should be the new name

Okay, so torture isn't a good choice of words, but to at least forget about Skylanders' existance.

I lol'd.

Seriously though, those little kids should go to the flea market, buy a Playstation, buy the old Spyro games, and see why the series became famous.

LolPaRappaBeingFaceOfSony. I played both games when I was a young lad, but loved Spyro more.

There were four faces of Sony back then. Crash Bandicoot, Lara Croft, the clown from Twisted Metal and PaRappa.
