For a long time (several years), no trailers, no information on the new spyro game ... is this the end? Is the story will continue to be pulled? Do we have to say goodbye to our favorite purple?

I sincerely think this Spyro's Kingdom game is going to be released. There's so much reliable evidence pointing to it, so I don't think it's the end for Spyro. However, if this game fails, then I do believe it will be the end for Spyro, but i'm staying optimistic.

I highly doubt it cause activision be wanting the mOney

Legends never die...:3

that right there

too bad so many people would disagree, but ehh

I was referring to both Spyros!

You dare have no faith in spyro's return?! U muss die!

Burn the infidel

Nah, not just yet. I'm pretty sure Kingdom may be his last chance, though.

God I hope not. I'm still skeptical about Spyros Kingdom, yes there is proof true, but look at the Legend of Spyro 3D? Proof of its existence, but cancelled and we sisnt even know it! And anyone can alter a spreadsheet, personally I didn't see the release date on the update.

Kingdom will be his last chance. Odds are that if that fails, he'll probably get one more game on the 3DS, and he'll be history, like Crash.

So Spyro isn't dead.....yet. But AV is this close to killing the franchise. They need to find a good developer, and they need to hype it just as much as they do to CoD.

Actually, there was no way to edit the Dutch game spreadsheet. They made it so that no way can change it.

I expect the'd try and sell it if SK flopped, but I expect the AAA treatment is Activision's last attempt to try and get Spyro popular and get money out of it. If it does flop it may severely effect how other potential franchise buyers react if/when Activision tries to sell the rights. If the other companies learn that they put so much time effort and money into it just to have it flop regardless, chances are no one will see hope for it and thus decide not to buy it, and subsequently Spyro will die.

I still didn't see the date when you posted the screenshot

The spreadsheet itself have been updated that's why.

There's a revealed date for Spyro: Kingdoms, 30th September 2011, but no trailers on YT.

When a trailer is released, is it usually found by fans on YouTube before anything else like the TV, or what? If you understand what I'm asking..

Usually they get the trailer from a gaming site, like GameSpot or GameTrailers, then post the video on YT.

That thought gives me chills... But has Crash, well, crashed yet? I mean, he didn't get a game when Spyro got DotD, and all he's got recently is an iPod Nitro Kart game (a bad one, too, I have it >.>) although I was glad to see that the original designs for the characters were used over the newer designs, but I doubt AV would bring the franchise back to it's roots.

How much money did ANB, TEN and DotD make, anyway? I always thought of them as financially successful, and I don't see why AV would consider ditching him...

ahh, okay, thanks. and does an announcement made before all else?

Yeah, an announcement announcing the game of its existence, then they release Screens, and videos...

IDK about money, but I think ANB and TEN sold under one million units each and DotD sold about 1.5 million. But I'm not 100% certain so don't quote me on that.
The classics sold anywhere from 3 to 5 million units each, but again I'm unsure of that, so don't quote me.
I'll go find more accurate numbers now.

Hmmm... I always thought of ANB being a good seller, seeing as it was hugely hyped and got a platinum edition. TEN... Not so much. But those figures for DotD seem about right. Probabley because Sierra brought in a wider audience with a playable, cutesy purple Cynder, methinks.

You do know that the numbers are pathetic compared to today's popular titles, yeah?

^ Yeah.

I'm going to be a bastard here and look at this:

DotD sold around 700k-1 mil copies (that's an assumption).

MW2 sold 20 mil worldwide, is the best selling game of all time in the UK, and the second best selling game of all time in the US.

The publisher of both games is AV. It's complete proof that AV cares more about hyping CoD instead of all of the other franchises they have.

^actually Halo Reach is number one
BO is number two
MW2 is number 3
And pokemon yellow is number 4.

Unfortunately, yup...

But I think it's disgusting that AV should think about ditching Goonro despite not even publishing one game of his yet; and I don't count DotD. I don't understand today's game audiences, cashing out on MW2 mainly because of peer pressure- my friend doesn't even like it that much, but he plays it all of the time because his friends are obsessed with it.

Oh I guarantee they'll release this game, but I can also garantee that if SK fails (and I mean REALLY fails) they'll sell it, and if the other companies don't see any potential in Spyro, that'll be the end of him...

Then ill buy the rights and make my own games.
Hey! Let's all get together and purchase the game rights!

I absolutely garuntee that if SK is a flop or is pulled, this will be either the beginning of the end or the end altogether for Spyro.

^Ditto^

OH! Let Media Molecule develop a Spyro game! Then he will be saved!

They should have kept it undercover and revealed it as a 3DS title, among other consoles. The 3DS is getting a lot of hype, so doing that could have saved Spyro.

I guess that you can't untie one knot of the past without untying the whole rope.

Who is "Media Molecule".

The developers of LittleBigPlanet.

I'd like to know who's developing the game so we could look at thier work and get some kind of speculated idea about the game.

We'll find out soon enough.

I haven't got high hopes it will happen, but I don't want Estranges to make the next game. Looking at some of their developments, not only do they tend to have small titles, but they tend to always re-use gameplay from their developments nowadays. *points at the HTTYD game*

I wouldn't mind EL developing again....*shot*

@GM and SB Look at the new Spyro game topic. Darby messaged one of the concept artists at EL who worked on Spyro and he/she said they're not working on the next game. She has a screenshot as proof too!

Yes, I read that afterwards.

GM is pleased, and SB will probly be disappointed

Indeed I am.

I'd rather have a company I hate working on it and doing a good job while taking a long time than EL chucking DoTD clumps together again quickly. I'm so pleased I'm not even trying to think about what I'm saying.

If you're talking about US, last I checked MW2 was #2. Reach isn't even on the list.

Yeah, since EL is Sonicbrawler's favorite Spyro game developer, and DotD Cynder won't appear in the next game since EL did a "good job" on her.

STD sold 4 million. I don't know about GTG and YOTD though.

I don't know if this is the end for Spyro, but I'm sure Spyro's Kingdom will pull through.

I think that Spyro has to come back ... no because it is a tradition ... Only those fears are ...

Spyro will never go, at least not for a long time. Why? Because the character is quite famous and even if Spyro's Kingdom is pulled or a flop, some other company will most likely buy the license and make they're own game. Profitable and easier because it is an already set series.
