Well if the game is fake, then, well lets say people will tear their heads off.

I know, I know, I was joking!
Crash Rising seemed like a ruse from the start. Someone even confirmed it for me before the countdown finished!
But Spyro's Kingdom seems legit.

No one would go to all the trouble of the speadsheets to make a rumor about Spyro. Also, how does making a rumor about a game help you from being desperate for a new game?

Wut?...

i'm 100 % convinced the game is real, even if I can be gullible at times

There wouldn't be evidence on LinkedIn or game sites, not to mention video game stores. So I'm convinced it's real.

I believe it was real at some point in time. But it was probably canceled due to early leaks.

But that's just my opinion.

well there been so many leaks
I really hope it's real
and not a rumor

Why would they cancel a game because of leaks? Then they just loose money because the made part of a game, and earn no profit by not finishing and selling it.

This is Activision were talking about. Who knows whats going on that mindset . Regardless if its real or not, I'm still renaming skeptical (just like I am with Kung-fu Panda 2 ).

Zackeio, there you are! Where've you been all this time?

But I though Activision was thought to be greedy. If they were so greedy would they not continue and release a game anyway, even if it were somewhat half-assed?

Sick. . .

That seems to be the likeliest of choices if you ask me. There are also some people who think that Spyro would be shelved and will see a release date in the far future. If Activision does release this game, I pray they at least put a lot of effort into it. However, there's apart me that disagrees.

I thought I saw a Kung Fu Panda 2 preview when I went to the theatre. I'm almost positive I did.. Huh.

Anyway, I'm still convinced it's to be released sometime in 2011, and that they're just trying to keep it on the down low. It'd be stupid to cancel a game just because of a few leaks, that didn't contain much information anyway..

There is an official Kung-Fu Panda 2 teaser trailer on youtube, that will be enough to convince you, Zackeio :3

Activision is the grim reaper of all game companies worldwide..

great, the ends really the beginning!

I haven't been too familiar with Activision until Spyro's under their control. What has Activision done to make it so hated in the past?

Its CEO is a power-hungry dictator, the one who wanted to sell cutscenes of Starcraft for $30.

..Can't you find those online?

Yeah, but the CEO, Robert Kotick, suggested they try and sell cutscenes of the recent Starcraft game.

Three words:
Call. Of. Duty.

you guys say its fake, but aura said that she physically saw proof in the vid game store? Why do you doubt this? Hasnt she earned alittle bit of trust being here fore nearly 2 years?

Actually that was Spyroo, SpyroPurple. I didn't actually see or hear proof of the next game in a video game store.

yeah whoops my bad, but its still the same point you know, a respected member says something and we become paranoid.

You're being overdramatic. Greedy- maybe, a dictator- NO.
As for selling cutscenes, anyone who actually buys that is an imbecile and deserves to loose 30$. So Kotic tries to profit off of morons, so what? Unless you're a moron you have nothing to fear of it.

What happened with Call of Duty? I thought it was a popular and successful franchise.

...But the game itself is mediocre.

This is why you should never be greedy, it looks ugly.

Quote: Bolt

Over the Hedge wasn't that good either. Activision kinda messed it up.

On PS2? I enjoyed it.

However. Activision. Officially. Suck. At. Making. Handheld. Games.

There was by the way, a page about this page, but it was kinda mocking it.

Lol. If it's still up, I'd like to look at it.

Popular. Yes
Successful. Not so

You know that Activision are ****ting themselves when Fable II, Assassins Creed II and Red Dead: Redemption win game of the year instead of Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops (:

(Don't get me wrong, I love Fable, Assassins Creed and RDR... But I know Activision must be thinking "WTF?")

Here you go.

Rofl I don't visit that board often (ORLY SPYROO).

I think there will be more pages mocking this page lol.

Apparently fans don't care about that. If fans want to pay good money for what you call a mediocre game, that's thier fault, not Activision's. If people are sick of them making so much money off of 'poor' games like CoD, then they need to stop buying it and demand change. After all, Activision isn't in total control of the money they make on a game, it's up to the fans who CHOOSE to buy it and pay what the price tag says.

Whoa, slow down. I know that! minredd just asked what was wrong with the franchise and that's what I think is wrong with it!

Okay sorry, but I really don't get all the fuss about the greed of activision, for all the reasons stated above!

Activision produce great SELLING games, not genuinly great games(most of the time). And yet those games still get high markings and awards for some reason. That's why everyone is a little annoyed at them.

Don't be so sure.... remember "Crash Rising"?

Jump Button was so wrong for that.

But why be annoyed? If Activision produced mediocre games which sold as you would expect a mediocre game to sell no one would have any ill will towards them I bet. But why dislike activision for producing 'poor' games which sell well? If anything dislike the general gaming/consumer public who CHOOSE to pay for mediocre games. As I already said, if they didn't sell well they would put more effort, time and money into thier games.

I'm not really annoyed. I couldn't care less for Call of Duty.

I wasn't talking to you specifically, I was taking about people in general who go on about how activision sucks because they get tonnes of money for less-than-superb games. It's the fault of the buyer who opens thier wallet for those games, not the publisher.

Perhaps its because some people don't prefer Activision's mind set and they get angry when people fall for their mediocrity. You do make a good point that its the buyer's own money and as such its their responsibility and choice to spend it as they please. I myself don't appreciate Activision not as a hole but simply because of their president, Kotick if I'm not mistaken. Kotick's view point on how video games should be made, and how money driven that websites make him out to be has put me, personally, in a defensive state.

True, I'm happy to know that a Spyro game is being made, but being made by company that has a president like Kotick. . . lets just say I'm not pleased. Nonetheless, beggars can't be choosers and I guess its better than nothing. We'll just have to wait and see on how much effort Activision has put into this game, everything else is still nothing more than hot air at this point.

Yeah, the next Spyro game being published by a game company owned by a greedy, money-driven CEO like Kotick makes me think that Activision won't put that much effort into the game like their other ones..

It didn't seem like much effort was being put into the TLOS series in my opinion anyway.

I do have to agree there..... They were very rushed overall.

Yet so many people bought and enjoyed it.
