darkSpyro

I sent an email to one of the composers of the LoS trilogy, Rebecca Kneubuhl, about her and Gabriel Mann returning to compose music for the next Spyro game, and she said this:

Michael Graham and Chris Wilson wanted us on the next spyro game, but unfortunately, the decision for hiring a composer was made by another department at Activision and the new producers of the title. Sooo...it's not gonna be us. At least, as far as we're aware.

But thank you for writing, we really appreciate it.

Now I'm having doubts about Activision. Who knows what kind of things they'll change up that Mike Graham has already in store for us. And this new composer for the next Spyro game is unknown for now.

And also, proof that there IS a new Spyro game being made!

Awww i loved the music that they composed, i just hope the new composers do a good job as they did.

..same

hopefully their good!
i mean its spyro they have to be good!
well hopefully they are!

Maybe Activision is doing the smart thing and (finally) moving away from the epic model of game that everyone is getting tired of.

And you guys totally just missed the big picture. Rebbecca just confirmed that they're working on a new Spyro game.

*stares for a while* *Thinks*
Wha-huh-eh-how-who-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
No, I got the fact they are making a new game but...to many unansweared questions....

Say why don't you look at my announcement, and figure, why is this a good thing, when I know I saw something mildly disturbing

No true evidence to you guys, but to me, I'm 98% positive it's going to happen. Also, my gift was seeing my own future, the parts that will really matter to me.

Then again, I'm also the generous person that likes to dislike greed, and like to help people that are not as happy as they should.
People that have a scratched disk that is unplayable, and they cry like mad. And nobody cares. *muddle muddle, need a disk fixer*

*I'm visually oriented!*

What are you talking about?

Yeah um, go to my announcement, go to the bottom of the list of sayings. That should be a image for the next Spyro game. *if I'm right.*

If you mean what you said on your profile, that sounds way too gruesome for a Spyro game and "pics or it didn't happen".

I wonder who the composer is?

Okay, look at the bottom of the list that I'm about to show you.

It was even done by the same company.

Scratch that, just type in Jak, that will get what you want.

You're off-topic with this, you know?

But just for making an example, anyway, I do believe that the next composer will in fact ruin Spyro even more. Just by making him more mature and gruesome, nothing else could be ruined as far as I can tell.

Again I have very little information, but it was enough to startle me to the point of prophecy to myself.

But we know we're not going to rely on your vision of the next Spyro game.

Not if it's unclear of course, but that one dream is something to think about.

Let's get back on topic please.

It's a shame Rebecca and Gabe won't be composing for the next one. Ah, well. But they sure did do a terrific job for the last three Legend games!

Maybe we'll see them in the future, but making music with something different? Like a movie.

Anyway, I hope the new composers will do a good job with the next Spyro game! I'm very curious who he/she/they'll be.

They have to have the music match up with the atmosphere of the next game.

Nice! Some fresh but very brief info about the tiny info (or presumed opinion) of the next Spyro game. Not those composers? Both Rebecca and Gabriel's talent of creating the Legend of Spyro music were pretty decent-good to my own limited expectations. x3

Indeed we are all curious. Wait... Aura24, did you ask them about the Spyro movie perhaps? Did they get involved in it as well?

Well, no. I didn't ask them that. I hadn't even thought of it.

Hmmmmm. Who's composed for Activision games in the past? <.<;

Maybe it will be Team Ico, IDK.

I hope it's someone who is good in composing the music a game that hasn't been owned by Activision until 2008.

Some things I'd like to point out.

Obviously, it was Michael and Chris that wanted them in them producing in the game.
Somehow, there's 'another department' that chose the composer, and its also hinted out that it was also chosen by the new producers.

To say the least, new Spyro game coming out, Spyro game going in a different direction.

Who knows if those new producers will make Mike Graham go back to the Old Spyro or not. They could at least tell us if they're continuing with the games in the LoS universe or not, but they're keeping it quiet until 'the time is right'.

Let it be.

Well, whatever happens, hopefully it'll be better than previous Spyro games.

I liked DotD, but it was too short. I hope the next one will be good and longer.

Rebecca and Gabriel did some good stuff; I liked the Theme to ANB, the Battle music from ANB(wouldn't listen to it on my MP3player tho), Avalar Theme, and the Gaul Battle Music. Alot of the stuff from DotD was just really short bits of music suited to brief moments in the game (Found New Armor, Eliet Enemy Theme). There are many bands which do that sort of thing (like Immediate Music, X-Ray Dog, and Two steps From Hell), and they do it a lot better in my opinion.

Aura24, where do you find the e mails of all these ppl involved with Spyro?

I agree Razz, I hope it's less epic. Did anyone here hear the "possible movie end credits leak"? It's what some believe to be the end credits theme for the Spyro movie. The very end sounds like something from Spyro two. I kinda hope it's not all like that though; with the music starting as one thing (either old Spyro-like or new Spyro-like) then changing to something totally different, y'know?

Forgotten World, You're not psychic(sp?). I'll read your announcement (link plz) and if it comes true, I'll believe you're psychic(sp?) then.
However, if it is really to gruesome for a Spyro game and it (or something similar) does come true I might be happy with it. True, I liked Spyro better when he was happy-go-lucky, humorous, and lighthearted, but if something kiddish is gonna be made serious, I think they should go all the way, if you know what I mean. Like that Epic Mickey game. Yes, it has been toned down severely and as far as the public knows it won't be any where near as hardcore as the early concept art led us to believe. My point is, Mickey and everything involved with the Disney corperation is very kid friendly, and Epic Mickey was originally going to turn all that into something suited only to adults who have a high tolerance for horrific things. If the same happened to Spyro I would be really excited for the game because it is so unexpected and different. I haven't played Epic Mickey yet of course, but I have played another game which twisted a classic children's fairy tale into something demented. The game is called American McGee's Alice. If a dememted version of Spyro provved to be that good, it would be a huge hit, not with the bulk of the current audience, but with a whole new crowd and ppl like me.

Could someone draw some fanart of a twisted Spyro? Or does anyone know where I can fnd some already?

Well, Gabriel Mann and Rebecca Kneubuhl have their emails on their website that plays and shows all the music they compose in the games they were associated with.

Here's their website here:

http://www.kneubuhlmann.com/music.html

What's the site called?

I added the link in my previous post.

Gabriel looks creepy...like a stalker...

He's not creepy. He has a nice voice, the way he sung Guide You Home along with Rebecca.

His voice is nice, and I'm sure he's a fine guy, I just said he looks creepy.

I bet the new composer is from Activision.

... If you think he looks like a stalker than I have some serious problems, SpyroLUVA. XD *just kiddin'!* Hey looks cute. I mean.. not in a "OMG HOT" way, but he's cute and has a good singing voice. JMO. :3

*adds the site to favorite's folder*

What kind of music might it be then? What kind of music do the Activision composers make? I know Spiralmouth made the music for Crash Twinsanity, but I hope it's not them! I mean, if the stuff they make for Spyro is anything like the music for Crash, yeah it will be lighthearted and the game will be closer to it's happy-go-lucky beginning, but I sampled some of the tracks on YouTube, and I found it annoying!

You know, this mystery could be a company keeping a secret from all viewers.

From a company like Activision, I expect they do something like that.

Eh, I bet we'll learn who they are when it is released.

As long as the music in the game is alright then I have no problem with the new composer

Yeah, but it could also be a sign of what direction Spyro will go.

Hmm, has anyone also tried emailing a question to the company regarding the next Spyro game? I know the odds of getting a response is slim, but is has happened before. Especially if the question isnt asking about specific game content.

Great find Aura, nice to be able to look forward to more Spyro.

Thumbs up, Aura, for this intriguing bit of evidence xD
Though, with Activision being the big money getters they are, I can't see them really putting the heart into this game.

I hope it's Mozart I've heard a lot of great things about that guy.

Me too. I also heard he has a wolf gang. I bet all the wolf lovers on darkSpyro would love him.
