Do you think real Spyro will ever come back?

The Black Shadow · Apr 27, 2014 1:13 PM

No, the original Spyro is gone I'm afraid. The only way Spyro would ever make a come back is if Insomniac bought the rights back, and that just isn't going to happen. Insomniac stated there is really only so much you can do with Spyro.

Personally, I don't like LoS, so to me, no. Good effort, though tongue

Too many fan-made stories, not enough legitimate games.

I hath become saddeth.

I'd like to see more spyro, we don't seem the have enough proper platform games, half of em just seem like side scroling mini games :-P I want more 3d open worlds and stuff!

RangerOfIthilien · May 25, 2014 6:42 PM

Agreed! I like 3D platformers so much more but all they make anymore is side scrollers!

Honestly, I don't think we will.

I suppose when Skylanders loses profit (which I think it will eventually - Many parents are already giving up on the series) it's possible that another company may pick him up, though even if he did get a new game... It could be possible that people will complain because it's 'not Insomniac'.

I miss the classic Spyro, I still own Spyro 1 and Spyro Enter The Dragonfly as well as the Legend of Spyro series. Shame that the classic Spyro is gone <_<

To be fair, though, your fan game idea isn't what this topic is about. tongue

SilverDragon7 · May 26, 2014 6:10 AM

agreed, and to be honest i don't really like it all that much. It feels as though its trying to do too much and that just doesn't work out very well in the end.

LocoGuy107 · May 26, 2014 12:19 PM

Well, yeah, I notice that.

I'll make a new topic for the game discussion, but since it's an actual game that I'm still concepting, it's going to be a while. Unlike Evilness, I'm working by myself right now.

Stranger things have happened in the game industry than Spyro getting a reboot. If you went back to the 90s and told someone that Sega would be making exclusive games for Nintendo consoles in 10 years, you would be laughed out of the building. No one thought Microsoft was capable of building a good console in 2001, and within a few years the Xbox brand became one of the most recognizable game machines in the West. Anything could happen.

That being said...

I don't think it would end up being like the original trilogy because games like that aren't as popular as they used to be. The biggest obstacle to a reboot is Skylanders' success. Activision has made a boat load of cash off it, and as long as they're still raking it in, there's little chance of them risking a remake or selling off the rights, since a failure could hurt their brand.

I could see Nintendo's upcoming NFC series and Disney Infinity pushing Skylanders out of the market, which could open up possibilities a few years down the road. It certainly wouldn't have to be developed by Insomniac for it to be a good game.

Speaking of wondering if things will ever come back, hello!

I think what troubles most people is that it's not likely that we will ever get exactly what we want. Game industry seems to be generalizing, and it's becoming less lucrative to make games with already existing IP. If it was lucrative, they would be doing so. Right now there are only a few lucrative IPs that keep selling, and almost none of them are characters like Spyro.

But here's what I think. A new Spyro game is improbable to come out soon. But what is improbable in a few years is inevitable in a few decades. Don't sweat it. Probably the moment you stop thinking about it is the moment something will come up, which was how Skylanders was for me in 2010 (although I know that game is the bane of some people).

As for me, I'm waiting so contently that I'm not ever around that much, and that's just the truth. If you're wondering about me (probably not), I'm still a brony and I'm into Elder Scrolls Online. I haven't played a Spyro game in about a year, but the dragon is still the best dragon ever.

Riverhippo! I haven't seen you here in ages!

I really just want a nice 3D platformer. Doesn't have to be Spyro. I'm getting bored of all the side scrollers.

Flapjacks · Jun 03, 2014 5:43 AM

Yeah, what's with all of the new sidescrollers, but no 3D platformers lately? When 3D hit the market, 3D platformers were the *bleep*, but now we're going back to the late 80s and early 90s. I'm guessing it's probably because indie developers can make non-3D games a lot quicker and easier.

thetruefan · Jun 03, 2014 5:50 AM

I Think we can bring it back.
If we will work hard, earn skills, Increase more abilities and create new dragons,
I Think it can be done smile

I Am on my plan to create the new game, however.
Yes, you can laugh and say i'm silly, but I Don't care. because i know one day
He will come back!

LocoGuy107 · Jun 22, 2014 6:16 PM

Bring him back...now....

Welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately, it's almost definitely not true. Someone made a similar edit on the Spyro series page, and I just reverted it yesterday because they had no source. Someone else was also recently messing with the dates under the publishers section of the Spyro page, claiming Activision gave up ownership to Sony in 2014.
