Only Chris Wilson was reassigned to another game franchise, the Crash series.

Do we know who replaced him?

Activision obviously.

No I mean who's the guy/girl who took his place?

Don't know.

Where could one find out?

I wonder how often they check their emails?

They probably get loads. I wouldn't be suprised if they just throw out e mails concerning a specific franchese if such messages contain questions they get alot but can't answer.

depending on the game when it comes out it might lead to moar games

Yeah, after that game, the universe taking place in it will continue on.

I have a feeling that we won't get any news until Christmas, or early next year.

^ well Merry chistmas to us then!

I suppose it's a good Christmas present. xD

yeah...

LOL yeah.

But seriously, they need to say something soon...

yeeah at least a Teaser Trailer or poster

Activision mentioned that Spyro "isn't even on the big profile list yet". So, they're probably going to reveal it to us when they feel like it.

Which will probably be two years time at this rate. >.<

With how long they've been keeping us in the dark, it's clear they're doing *something*. I'm just not sure if I should be excited or worried about that. The fact that they got rid of Rebecca Kneubuhl and Gabriel Mann as the composers really makes me wonder what they're planning. At the very least, I would hope they continue LoS, but without following DotD's example, because, well, I don't want to see another fanservice game. Maybe they should take another look at ANB and build off what it was like... that's just me.

They also cancelled the Spyro Movie, and already conducted game title tests for the next game.

thats true actually

Easy on the Double post SpyroFanatic. . . Its why we have the edit button located on the bottom right of your post.

As for the topic: Patience is the key. I know its been two years since any news of a Spyro game. But we do have the title test and it looks like the only way we are going to get in any Spyro news is leaks from inside the walls of Activision, or even Blizzard.

Still, this next game will be the one that decides the fate of the Spyro fandom.

I agree, the more information they give out, the more fans will keep on bugging the creators about the plot, gameplay, etc. It's best to keep Spyro on a low profile right now, then when they have the game pretty developed, story and all, they can give us the more juicy details, rather than "Here's 5 seconds of the new theme song to the next Spyro game!"

A user found this on a profile of someone working with Activision. Search for the word "Spyro" on the site above, and it will show that the person has conducted title tests for the next game of Spyro.

It shows that the person, Irene Zheng, has:

"Analyzed advertising effectiveness studies (Renault Twizy, Toyota Prius & Reese’s) for online games “The Sims 3” from Electronic Arts (EA) and “NCAA Football ‘11”. Conducted title tests for the game “Spyro” from Activision."

That user, btw, is Burning Gnorc. I think his thread is still on the first page. . .

It is..Just thought I post straight to the source.

Very well - BTW Just thought I give credit where credit is do. . . After all, without that little tid bit, I guess we'd still be chasing our own tails for info. *shrugs*

Thanks for enlightening me, everyone!

Hmm, examining this little bit of info... I can't say it's anything solid, actually ^^; It just says she did title tests, but it doesn't say if it's for past games or games currently being developed. This could really just be a false alarm; or it could very well be true. I don't mean to be a party pooper, but I'm just saying it's not necessarily 100%.

If you read carefully at the date of the resume when she was the Market Research and Analysis Intern, the date was between March - August 2010 when she did the game title tests. She did it recently.

Ahhhhh... I missed that the first time. You have a fine point there. This makes the information a lot more reliable. We might very well have a Spyro game on our hands soon yet.

...now, the best question is, does anyone know this person's email? And does anyone want to pester her with questions about what kind of titles she sorted through? :P

I don't, she left no traces to contact her.

Maybe someone could e-mail her and ask for all the titles of games that she did tests on recently. She might put Spyro's title on their without realizing. xD

Meh, just a thought. xD

I wish I could find a way to email her. I would, in that case.

I think I'll show this to dark52, since I didn't think of this beforehand.

He already knows, but he thinks it's fake or something.

I dunno, that could mean anything and tells us nothing.

From the topic Random Spyro Thing, which the Spyro game title tests was discovered by BurningGnorc.

Obviously, it shows that the person did title tests for the next Spyro game during March - August 2010. So, we should expect official news on it soon or later this year or next.

The way things are going, it sounds like this game may not be released until 2012 or 2013.

Well, that's a good long time between DotD and the next game. At any rate, it should be good.

Hey, I have a theory. In our unit about media and advertising at school, my teacher said that advertising for toys, video games, and such drastically increases around October until Christmas. My point here is that we might get some news or even an advertisement in that time period because that would most likely be when Activision would get the most money/benefit from revealing it. In fact, they may just be waiting for that time and are depriving us of news to build the suspense. What do you guys think?

I hope it's true.

Then it shall be December 25th.

I've never played any of those games, so I can't really respond to that idea.

Me either, Spyro_LUVA. And I hope I'm right about the new game. Was there any luck when the Public Relations division of Activision was contacted?

Nor me..... But I still say Nintendo have the right idea with Mario

I wouldn't know... Who contacted them? I had no idea anyone had.

I tried to a few days ago. No response so far, and most likely not one to come. But did someone reach them?

They aren't giving new information until at least the beginning of October. and there won't be any news until December, but if they do today, someone is going to be fired. Activision Blizzard has a strict advertising policy since June 2008. At least they got very strict since they lost Sierra.

Activision has been strict about leaks before, but not as strict.

The reason, Activision is loosing money because they are making too many games. So to prevent that, they blocked many of the advertising so they wouldn't make false games like they did in the past.

But this is just an-mature information, so just shoot me if I'm wrong.

Also all video game companies tend to have strict advertising policies. But Sierra wasn't as strict as they should have been with some of their games
