There was nothing after Spyro 3. NOTHING!!!!

 

[Solo-Wing]

Also I'm just curious, you talk about Spyro being apart of your childhood and then use a picture of him from The Legend of Spyro series...I'm confused, have you actually played the original Spyro games?

Yeah but TLoS pic is cleaner and still looks pretty good.

I realized as well. Why does Activision always ruin the franchises they buy?
First Guitar hero now Spyro. Whats next?

This picture is much better IMO.

Is it just me, or does the Spyro revamp look somewhat like he'd fit rather neatly into...well, certain other games associated somehow with Activision, which also feature dragons?

...They making a new one? Joy! like good games from my past wasn't dead already.

RIP Spyro. That just looks completely awful. I've seen it before but it's still mindboggling how dumb he looks.

You forgot Tony Hawk. (Yes, that shit is still going)

As for why, well, it begins with "m" and rhymes with "honey"...

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

And that's why only three games exist.

 

[Aethren]

Old news is old dude, damn.

Also, don't care. Always hated Spyros getting cheap facestabs on me.

 

[Tiger Sora]

This is why you shouldn't use drugs. Things get way to real.

 

[FurinKazanNZ]

shit I love the first two games, havent really played the others, thankfully. Yeah damn he looks terrible there

 

[boyvirgo666]

Ahh, it's so good to see an old character being updated to suit the maturing tastes of his now grown-up fans.

I look forward to the scene where his father is bloodily murdered, sending Spyro on a violent quest for righteous revenge.

with giant spinning chain weapons and tits

The word "monstrosity" comes to mind...

OT: I don't know what they are trying to accomplish with this re-boot. Spyro is a iconic character (like Mario or Sonic), a character that can be recognized by many people. This change is so drastic, however, that old fans of the Spyro series are either going to not recognize him or refuse to recognize him. Plus, this new Spyro isn't going to attract any new fans to the series since...well the word "monstrosity" comes to mind. Let's hope Crash doesn't suffer the same fate, since he could probably benefit from a *proper* re-boot.

 

[Infernai]

Dante, Spyro, Crash, Even The Last airbender and Dragon ball.....by god, when will these nightmarish reboots end!? If you don't mind, I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now.

 

[blankedboy]

Protip, only play games by the original devs. That goes for all NaughtyDog and Insomniac franchises too.

Activision has officially ruined Spyro the dragon for me. That dragon was a huge part of my childhood along with Final Fantasy IX, Crash Bandicoot, and Pokemon.
They turned this

Into... THIS!!!!

Who in their right minds thought that would look better?
Because they should be killed. With fire.

I did this just to rip on this horrible idea.

Feel free to comment.
Admins feel free to lock.

Dear god, it's a fire breathing purple resident evil licker! Run for your lives!

I'm not one to judge until I hear about gameplay, but it'd have to be damn good to make up for this!

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Old news... but it doesn't get any more tolerable...

 

[MasterChief892039]

Old news, but still disturbing.

Spoiler: And I know I'm not the only one.

Spoiler: Also, your image of the original Spyro looks pretty derp-y too. Here's the real one;

Yeeeah.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

As it has probably been said, this is old news, like at least six months old.

Reboots happen, some are good and some are bad, not much people can do about it.
