Don't get me wrong, I still love the old games, but do you really think the general public would really want to get something like that?

I fail to see how LoS makes you "think for yourself" and the platforming Spyro didn't. LoS is just running through linear levels whacking hoards of monkeys over and over until you get to the boss. Pre-LoS, even post-Insomniac, I actually had to think to complete the games -- how do I get to this area? How do I complete this puzzle? Some of the levels literally took me years to figure out. When I played LoS, I found myself button-mashing more than thinking. I can't think of a single level that took any brainpower whatsoever... but then I didn't play DotD, so maybe it was different than the others.

As for Insomniac developing the new Spyro game, I honestly don't really care who does it, just as long as they can come up with something other than repetitive monkey bashing. Preferably some kind of platforming, but I doubt it's ever going to happen.

I agree with Stormy. Remember that puzzle thing in Idol Springs, in Gateway to Glimmer? The one where you had to get all the rocks green? That took me ages to do.

And levels like Tree Tops...I spent ages working out how to get to the little floating island thing. In the end, I figured that I should just follow the little green theif.

Now for TLoS. What puzzles are there in that series? Hmm...OH YEAH! We have to find three statue-thingies and breathe fire onto them to get the door to open. Unlike in the original series, there is no timer and the things are easy to find.

AH! The puzzle on Celestial Caves. But that isn't a puzzle! The scary voice tells us what to do. And everything's all colour-coded anyway.

Where in the original three games I would spend a year trying to find one gem in a level, in TLoS all you have to do is thrust the Nunchuk upwards, jump in the air, and press B five times. Enemy dead. OH NO! WHOLE HORDE OF ENEMIES! THIS SHOULD BE DIFFICULT! Just use earth flail. Or ice tail works. Or electric spin.

...Yeah. You can see what I think,

They COULD make Spyro hold a gun since dragons could stand on their hind legs in the original series, but I'd save that for Agent 9. It would be cool if we had a Matrix-themed level for him.

Yeah, I know. XD
I was referring to their "reason" for dropping Spyro. (At least... I THINK that was Insomniac who said that...)
A Matrix-themed level sounds cool, but what about the copyrights? XD
SSD~

I like the old Spyro games... But they were only good for their time. I'm not talking about graphics, but it was a simple platformer. Too simple. I mean, nowadays people like complicated games. Games that make you think for yourself.

Enter the Dragonfly was supposed to be a PC game.

EtD??? Not a soddin' chance!

Oh my gosh, yes!
They should especially re-do ETD, and try using the old model of Spyro. (After cleaning it up, smoothing the edges and such... but not too much. XD)
I wonder if Insomniac is smart enough to listen to us...
So what if Spyro can't hold a gun, big whoop. Buy him back and make him like he used to be before the world explodes into oblivion! (Okay, that was over-dramatic. XD)

However... just because we have Insomniac back doesn't mean we'll get a great Spyro game. Allow me to clarify: its been awhile since Insomniac has made a Spyro game... its possible that they may have lost their touch for this kind of game... possibly. All I'm saying is, be careful what you wish for in this case.

Now for the whole Blizz thing... personally I don't think that's bad... Blizzard does take a while to release a game... but as far as I know they are really good at PC games... I don't know any console game they done recently or ever so... ALso they have a killer cinematics team, just look at their new game for SCII (StarCraft 2). However if Blizzard is going to make a Spyro game then its more than likely going to be an MMORPG... not a bad way to go, as this "can" rank in some dough. However how it will be and how it all tie together and what realm will it be influenced on (Old, middle, or TLOS) is up in the air. Also I don't think Spyro has a big enough fan base for it...

All in all, what I want, is the same level of passion, creativity, and drive that the old Spyro games had when they were developed. TLOS, well a little unoriginal attracted people who liked it, so it wasn't a total failure... but it left this guy yearning for the originals again.

I completely agree with you. besides Blizzard will kick butt I trust they will put out amazing Spyro games. I mean, look at World of Warcraft. not that it will like WoW or anything.

I do, It was just that 10 years ago, everyone was exerimenting with 3d platformers because of the inspirtation super mario 64 gave them, and the face taht platformers were the best way to move around a world and create a nice evironment. The market, imo, wasnt the main reason why people made those kind of games, they were just "the games to make". People these days are hungry for 3d platformers, Its just that the reboot was an idea that the producers thought up to experiment with the series, to try something different. As no one at the time could make games as great as the original trilogy. Which made the old series irrelevent.

But Now, the TLOS trilogy is over. The experiment went well, and gained a stong fanbase within the 3 games. but activision have basicly come to a full stop when it comes to TLOS, and there are many ways they can return to the better old series, which much more potential.

Insomniac...4 years ago, or even 2 years ago I would say there is no chance they would come back. But it has been nearly 10 years and ratchet and clank has nearly lived its life. If activision want a team to revive old spyro, insomniac would be perfect, so they would want insomniac. And if insomniac were to ask activision about making a new spyro game, activision would be pleased to have such great developers as insomniac working for them. Insomniac doesnt NEED to "buy spyro back" if they can simply ask activision to let them make a game for them.

However, Insomniac had felt that developing with a company such as universal/vivendi/activision was a mistake, and sont was a much better producer (more money). Insomniac were not accepted by sony until they made the original spyro trilogy, which was why they developed ratchet and clank with them.

Don't get me wrong, I still love the old games, but do you really think the general public would really want to get something like that?
