New Composer for the next Spyro Game? [CLOSED]
Aura24 Platinum Sparx Gems: 6561
#1 Posted: 17:52:50 29/10/2009 | Topic Creator
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!

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.

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.

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".

It was even done by the same company.

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

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.

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?

Some things I'd like to point out.

Quote: Aura24

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.


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.

#28 Posted: 04:07:18 02/11/2009 | Topic Creator
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'.

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.

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:

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!

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.
