It makes sense, because that post was only two weeks ago..... but half of me thinks he/she is lying.... But still, if that was true, then that would be great, because my wish would have been granted. :D

Ccrogers15 lied, obviously. He doesn't have proof of the next Spyro game, and was just spreading that fib around to get Spyro fans excited. Don't be deceived by desperate Old Spyro fans on youtube.
And bioncle2809 warned us about ccrogers15 spreading the lies on another topic here, it's been confirmed by ccrogers15 himself that he lied. Here: //forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=32677

*wipes tear* That was... BEAUTIFUL! They could TOTALLY do that! I'm a little iffy on the LOS Spyro is Classic Spyro's father idea some have had, but the thought of naming a new purple dragon and the golden dragonfly who was born on the same day after the two heros of old? BRILLIANT! And yeah, LOS universe could definitelty be the Forgotten Worlds! Well done, great idea!

If Activision is doing the next game in the Old Spyro universe, they probably won't be making it for the fans, probably just doing it as an attempt to keep the franchise going.
I mean, have they really been looking at our opinions of the current status of the franchise for the past two years, instead of busy revealing their other money-making game titles to the public? I know they leave the 'looking at the opinions and suggestions of the Spyro franchise' to the current producers, but still the company of Activision itself probably doesn't care about what we want.

^Activision didn't pay any attention to community ideas or complaints. They're paying too much for scriptwriters, testers, marketing analytics etc. They don't need to listen us. If EA or Valve would be involved in Spyro franchise... well it would be a diffrent story.

In the game industry ,the producers are suppose to be the ones in charge of the game franchise they are assigned in, listening to the feedback of the fans of that franchise. Activision is making decisions they shouldn't be making, and not letting the producers do their job.

Activision has changed ideas the producers originally had, like having the original composers of the LoS trilogy return, since another department of Activision chose another composer. And also, they cancelled the Movie over some idea that they think will live up to the Spyro franchise.
Who knows what other things Activision changed for the next Spyro game, for something they think will get them money..

Activision has indeed made changes within the Spyro franchise that has caused both unsettling and puffery amongst us fans. However Burning Gnorc, is right. Publishers and or Big Wigs like Activision don't listen to fan feedback, they listen to market feedback. If this title has sold well then they'll make more, if not then its possible that they will either investigate why, or stop making that title all together.

If that's the case, then wouldn't that mean that they would continue were YOTD left off again? Or remake ETD? Because those three games sold the highest, YOTD getting the highest score out of the three. TLOS didn't get as good reviews, and DOTD got bad reviews.... I makes me wonder... They canceled the TLOS movie. They got rid of one of the TLOS producers. It's all connected to TLOS in some way, which is more proof of the originals coming back. :\

Yes, recent market feedback, like the feedback of AHT, SL, and the LoS trilogy. And, DarkCynder, ETD's market was released since 2002. Activision wouldn't look at a Spyro game that old.

I have to agree. I don't believe that Activision would be that interested in Spyro to dig up sales records of all the Spyro games, and be willing to spend resources to track, purchase, and buy the games that sold the most to see where they can go next. In fact, we don't even know how Activision works within their walls. Any thought of Activision being Spyro's savior is nothing more than an illusion (or even allusion) until we actually see some cold hard evidence that they are guiding Spyro in the right direction. But even that leads to what I said that Activision's changes with Spyro has caused. . . concern amongst us fans. We simple don't know what Activision is planning. . . time will tell whether or not Activision is good for Spyro or worst. *sigh* I just pray that I'm wrong about Activision and that they'll actual pull through. |

For the company, reviews are pretty much a non-factor when compared to the selling performance. In that regards, looking to the past where Activision wouldn't (probably), Spyro the Dragon itself sold the most while the series has been on a decline since (really, the original was the only one to sell close to 5 million copies! Must be why there were so many attempts to shoehorn Gnasty into the games even before AHT).
As for recent sales, there's barely anything on it. What I did find was that SL sold 0.56m units, while DotD sold 1.76m units (although no one platform sold any more than 0.45m units). Seriously, I would have expected AHT sales, at least. :/

Unfortunately, it was from VGchartz. ;
However, I do know that several sources have said that Spyro 1 was the only one to sell 5 million (even though it fell slightly short), so that at least is true. After seaching for half an hour at least, those were the only whole sets of figures I could find (with some but not all for TEN, one set for ANB and NONE for AHT). Until I can find a better source, that's all we have.

#136 Posted: 00:04:07 01/09/2010
Just updating what I've found randomly.
Okay, not exactly the most specific of selling figures, but an IGN XBox preview for AHT said that the Spyro franchise had sold over 13 million units (meaning everything before AHT), and a Wendy promotional announcement for TEN stated that the Spyro franchise had sold over 20 million (meaning everything before TEN). If this was right, AHT, SL and AND combined would have been about 7 million, and with SL being about 0.5/6 million, AHT and ANB combined would be about 6.5 million. Not bad...but it suggests that the 1.76m figure is a decline, depending on where the split lies (but really, I doubt AHT sold 4.5 million...).

It is probable, a user here has stated that AHT has reached a Platinum level in terms of sales. I'm not sure what Platinum means over where he is but it must be big if it where to get such a title. I think those figures might be close to accurate. I tallied up VGChartz total worldwide sales excluding AHT - DOTD, and it rallies up to 17.54 Million; if both of these figures are correct, that still means that when Spyro the Dragon was still in its Original Saga / Trilogy, it was still popular. But, we all know that ETD did not receive the best of reviews, and this info can be misleading. More digging is indeed required to get the best accurate sales records, but I feel that its worth it. However, if Activision is going with Sales to determine the direction of the next Spyro game then we might expect original characters, gameplay, or aesthetics in the next Spyro game. But AHT and ETD proved that it takes more than just Original Characters appearance to appeal to the Spyro's fan-base. *sigh* We'll see, we'll all see when it comes to bare. |

I think what Activision are going to do is look at TLoS and think "Hey! DotD sold over 1m copies and is the first Spyro game to do so since the originals!" thinking that their getting somewhere, when in actual fact if you minus the people who hated the game or took it back, then it would probably only be the same amount of sales as ANB or TEN.

Zackeio Yellow Sparx Gems: 1733 |
#140 Posted: 01:54:49 01/09/2010
1m sales isn't much in the Video Game Biz from what I hear. Normal games usually sell 2m to be worth something. Since TLOS sold an estimate of 2-4m with all three games combine that's hardly worth snuffing at. While the original series sold an estimate of 5-7m total combine (the first three anyway).
If Activision wants to rank in the money, then their going to have to study the original series very hard. I may not know what potential profit TLOS might hold, and if TLOS is still trying to be the new Mainstream of Spyro games, then I'll stick to what I said earlier: If they go down this route, they'll continue to corrupt Spyro. |

Why does nobody think "Different Direction" means different gameplay! It's like how Miyomoto said Twilight Princess was the last game in it's form. People thought gameplay. Other people thought storyline. Also others thought design.
Turns out it was the design. See even though Activision said "Different Direction" we can never be sure what it is. A new look. A new storyline. New gameplay. We'll never know until they tell.

No offense Star but, going back to the originals is thinking about gameplay, and story, design, atmosphere, and character personality, and probably much more. TLOS and the Originals, share very, very little with each other. This we all know to accept as true. By saying that some of us want it to go back to the originals is a different direction. As such we mean not only just gameplay, but also story, and direction (where future games might lead to) as well.
We all don't know what different direction implies as its a vague statement within itself. We can only speculate. As you said: Quote: StartheDragon77

From the looks of this 2008 article, with the interview from CEO Mike Griffith, Activision was using consumer testing to determine what direction Spyro should go. It didn't note about the old Spyro returning, they were still determining at the time.
