darkSpyro

Not necassarily.. :/
I think TLoS kinda fit that description.
And I'd never seen that. It surprises me that Activision claimed to be excited about owning Crash and Spyro. They sure haven't proved it yet.

I have. It was this:

'We're so excited to have Crash and Spyro. We've seen the fanbase of both, and we're really looking forward to messing them about.'

I think TLOS is more for the older audience but its not a "family game".
Activision think Spyro is a kids Game...
Before few years Activision mean this
Now that Crash and Spyro are under the Activision Blizzard roof, the old mascots may have a new chance at regaining their former glory.

Speaking of the two franchises, Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith said during a Thursday earnings call, "We feel these brands have a lot of runway left and will positively benefit from our consumer research and testing."

Griffith said that he's "encouraged" by the upcoming entries into the franchises for later this year, but he added, "We also know that these properties are ripe for reinvention to increase their appeal, and that's what we're focused on in the future."

Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot, two characters that helped define the PlayStation brand in years gone by, have sold more than 55 million units worldwide life to date combined, according to Griffith.

Activision Blizzard acquired the Crash and Spyro properties as part of the $18.9 billion merger with Vivendi Games, a deal that closed July 9.

That's pretttty much how it's seeming But I won't judge too much until they actually come out with a game that i can base my opinion off of

By "regaining their formal glory".. I can only imagine what that means - going back to the Originals? :S
It's killing me to wonder what Activision has in mind for Spyro :I

Hmm...its all mysterious

Indeed.

Activision please announced then we know more
IS IT SPYRO OR NOT

@Darby: no, LOS was NOT aimed at older kids! One of the producers said (I think on the old forum) that they were deliberately aiming it at younger kids.
@xSparxX: That may mean that it's suitable for all ages, meaning falilies can play it on family game night without worrying about thier youngest's 'innocence'. XP But still I think you're right...
And... Innovation...Reinvention... Regaining former glory? Oh, for a moment my heart fluttered and my spirits rose...
@Spyroo: Did you actually find a quote they said they're looking forward to messing them about??

No, sorry, I was just teasin'

OH! Okay, I guess that's good

Edit: Oh no... DotD was relased in October 2008, AFTER that article was published... Could DotD be the reinvention they were talking about??
I pray not! My spirits just plunged...

My biggest hope for this cover up they're performing is leading us up to a great game they just dont wanna show. What activision is prob gunna do is release all the info and gameplay vids on us a month before release and blow us out the water. having my hopes up thats my best assumption. Because thinking activision is not stupid they know what they're doing. Any company with a brain(figuratively speaking ) knows doing this could lose them their fanbase and activision has something up their sleeve i just know it!

We may have the developer!

And it may indeed be the Toy Fair game, but it conflicts what a website editor told me, I'll keep those details a secret just in case, it's a well known site anyway. He basically said to not expect it to be Spyro.

Hm.... Well, that company has been working on a game for over a year now..... But they don't seem to have any high-quality ranking games on their list :/

Just because some guy tweets it, doesn't make it true. What are his sources? Can we get a link to them? Anyway, G2G.

The guy ran a site called Superannuation and he specialized in finds of resumes, trademarks, and whatnot.

I'm not sure if he's an insider so to speak, but he has found a lot of stuff over the past few years. He retired from updating the site because info was being more scarce and less fun to find.

I sent him an email asking for specific sources, and whether he knows of the platforms to be precise (or as much as he even knows).

@SpyroLUVA - imo, TLoS attracted an older audience than the classics, that's all I was saying..

It's more serious, has a darker atmosphere/storyline, and it's more down to business in terms of dialogue and the whole series altogether. Classics were lighthearted and cartoony, and tended to draw in more kids because of that reason. That's all I meant.

Alright, I didn't mean anything rude by my last comment; sorry if it seemd so.

Typic Activision

But Activision mean in a interview that "Spyro is a family Game" and this is a other word for kids game....

Hey guys...thuis link said they were downsizing to concentrate more on the CoD franchise and Acti's new MMO, Adventure Starter pack? MMO? Isn't SK supposed to be an MMO? This would also give credit to Zynga.

"...given that we're ramping up development teams around Blizzard's new MMO and around the Call of Duty initiatives."

Blizzard's New MMO = Spyro's Kingdom?

Yeah, with Starter Pack and Adventure Pack Activision removed off the face of the internet, but it was screenshotted.

Blizzard's new MMO was a PC exclusive, I believe.

So if Zynga-a popular online game developer-creates Act's new MMO, which is SK...

This may be and extremely vital piece of info here. Aura, can you please screenshot that article? Maybe SK is pretty highly viewed with CoD. If so, then that means that SK will get special treatment...like CoD.

Is that all of the news at the moment?

Yep..

Awesome, thanx.

Hey guys, just realized something.
activision absorbed bungie...

call of duty: space warfare = halo?
i swear if act turns halo into a cod game, i will be a very unhappy person.

What do you mean?

ActiVision recently acquired Bungie-the VG company that produced the Halo series. There has been talk that Acti plans to make a CoD Space Warfare.

I swear, if Acti makes Halo a Call of Duty game, I will feel sad, violated, and used.

also guys it was on the news, on channel 7? I believe that actvision is pulling the plug on the guitar hero franchise, and that they are now focusing their attention to quote "Shootem up games" like call of duty and ETC, the company saw that they were losing revenue and decided that they are going to scrap the franchise all together which would explain why at work when i look up any guitar hero stuff it says in our system "deleted" and yes activision bought up bungie and that concerns me because now activision owns the right to big game developers and now are gonna focus on those games and leave spyro way behind, i prefer if spyro went to EA or THQ at least. And spyro had only one shot at the TLOS world and yet the old games had 6 I think chances, I say if done right with the right type of people and given some time TLOS could become pretty good and no im not saying continue another trilogy but at least give it one more shot before calling that world quits, it had so much potential imagine DOTD with free roam and the ability to travel to different worlds? like the old games.

It's true, S24. They've pulled the plug on Guitar Hero. At least GH is free from Activision's influence.

Back on topic. AV are making an idiotic descision keeping Spyro under wraps(and personally, I'm just sick of waiting- I won't be excited when SK is out, only happy I won't have to wait any more).

Well, the current release date we have is september, right? That would mean that it should be released around around the same time frame as Spyro's games usually come out. so perhaps they will just wait until the normal time of releasing news on Spyro thats about two or three months from now, I think. if not then, maybe in E3.

So I guess we'll just have to wait this one out. That or we can form a bounty-hunting team and raid the activision HQ for news on SK. whatever ya'll thinks best really!

Toys For Bob is the developer?
They last game was Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

Has you read this from his twitter site?

# And they've constatly said it is remiscent of their "classic" games. So there's that. vor ungefähr 11 Stunden via Carbon for webOS

# To be fair to Spyro, Toys for Bob seem to be really excited about, so it could potentially be a good game.
