I do recall reading that Blizzard will agree to keep Spyro alive as long as it continues to sell enough to meet their standards. Do I think Spyro can make a comeback? I think that if Sierra uses more than one year to develop the Spyro game, they could make it much better than it is right now. Also, another developer change is probably in order. I was disappointed when the developers were changed from Krome to ELB for the very last game of the trilogy. The fact that it WAS the last game confused me because I was content with the job Krome was doing. I was even more disappointed by the overall final product. I played this game while listening to my iPod (and reading during the long cutscenes), yet somehow still got 100% on my very first playthrough.

In short, Sierra should actually take two or three years to put together the next Spyro game. I think if they weren't rushed for time, they could put together a Spyro game with some sort of "WOW!" factor to it.

well Blizzard would end up with a MMO spyro game or RTS (FOR THE HORDE)  i rather have Vavle do it (garrys mod fun)

i think u better razz it just seems like something taht was said ages ago b4 DOTD came out

Um, she moved it from a different section...:P

Up until the Legend arc, Spyro console titles had merely came once every 2 years, though there were handheld filler titles that managed to help pass the time. Now that the Legend trilogy has been sealed, it would be most likely that we'd go back to that pattern. Make things even more complicated with the movie coming this year and I'm pretty sure that there won't be a big console game this time around.

That so-called 2.8 score was for Enter the Dragonfly anyway, so we see that as an odd step for analysis anyway but either way, the producers said it themselves - they'd prefer to do it for the fans rather than any over-critical responses. And if we fans are generally happy, then there we go.

It was also mentioned over at the Sierra forums that Chris Wilson, one of the producers for the Legend trilogy, has moved on to other projects. The torch would still be carried over by the other producer, Michael Graham, so I can say that they're still content in doing some good for the series.

And the last factor is the merge with Activision. Sure, Spyro managed to survive that, but it DOES mean that Sierra have to pass their ideas through THEM to see what would sell and what would not. No one knows what they would personally feel about any future titles, but the least we can do is hope that it all goes down well.

And you're forgetting one more thing - the first three games were only famous because they were the only game of their kind on the PlayStation, which already catapulted game sales just by its existence. If an Insomniac-era Spyro title came out today then odds are it still won't sell as much because cartoony mascots aren't as in as they were 10 years ago.  That said, what we want to see is a game that we can settle down and enjoy, not entirely dependent on mainstream success (which is currently shifting over to a lot of mediocre FPS's as of late). And if you enjoy it, then that's all there is to it

Many Spyro fans will stay devoted to the series no matter which way Sierra takes the game at. The problem is the question rises up again can Sierra bring back the huge fame as it did with the first three games?

I guess we just have to wait and see where Sierra takes the game.
