Aw, that's brilliant news !

I guess it's finally time for the grande finale!

I think that's wicked how Spyro's going to be able to get airborne! It's about time Spyro could have free flight in levels !

And now it's time for the final confrontation between Spyro and Dark Master dun dun duuuun...! Cannae wait *is excited* !

I only hope it comes out on the PS2 as well.

Co-op play with Cynder. Does that mean you can play as Cynder as well?

I can't wait!!!
I'm exited!!
I want the time to fly by!!

Ditto, though unlike 2007's "gaming drought" for me I've got plenty to look at prior to then

I can't wait for another DULL moment with Cynder. Why don't they use me instead. You should hear MY version of Spyro where Cynder ISN'T a main character.

For once you can fly all the way through it? That is awesome! It's better than the swimming in the air cheat on Spyro a hero's tail!

omg *faints*

OMG!!
That's cool!!

Wow, finally some flight!

Shut up. You sound like the type of person that wants to create a Mary Sue for Spyro to fall in love with in a random fanfiction. >.>

Besides, Cynder's cool for a female dragon; we came to a conclusion in The Eternal Night that she needed more growth, and the fact that she's going to be used as a co-op character proves that she will GET that growth. Surely something like THAT would change your mind over how "dull" you think she is?

Holy (insert drastic word here)
My dad thought i was a retard when i annouced this

"First appearance on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360"

UGH! Wii please!

"Epic culmination of "Legend of Spyro" storyline Spyro finally faces the Dark Master"

Wasn't his revival fully prevented in TEN or something? Plothole very much?

"Fly at any time - first free flight in a Spyro game"

NO! JUST NO! MAJOR EPIC PHAIL! Spyro can't/sucks at flying. This is one of the MAJOR defining traits of the purple dragon! Remove it and you remove one of the main points that make him different from the generic hero dragon!

"Co-op play with Cynder (female dragon)"

Only good point of this announcement.

"Global release Oct/Nov 2008"

Whatever.

---

I SOOOOO hope that this is a fake. Frankly. I'm hoping for it. They can't kill Spyro anew after getting this far. I don't want a second Enter The Dragonfly this soon!

This is gonna be drastic......Now that im logged in...i will make my chart...
Flying:How are they gonna keep the game easy with this?Not saying its bad bt...that would be hard

Ps3/xboxk i have a ps3 but he looks different and that whips me with fire breath.....noooooooo!Atleast it will loo cool...

Co-up...?
This will be so nice i have two charaters to train!

Release date?
I cant even wait one month dude.....

Oh, I just realized what the statement about the consoles means! *headdesk* What they are saying is not that it is only going to be available for PS3 and XBox360, but that this is the first time a Spyro game has appeared on either of these platforms. Gads, why did that take so long?

Anyways, back to fangirling for me. *squee!*

"First appearance on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360"

The graphics better be PS3/Xbox 360 worthy; I'm tired of the PS2's graphics. They're starting to look like really, really well colored pictures compared to the PS3's.

"Epic culmination of "Legend of Spyro" storyline Spyro finally faces the Dark Master"

Mephiles! *shot*

"Fly at any time - first free flight in a Spyro game"

AWESOME.

"Co-op play with Cynder (female dragon)"

Bit of a bad idea to me since they didn't do that for TEN ( it would've been weird if it were for ANB ).

"Global release Oct/Nov 2008"

That's around the same time the third book in the Inheritence Cycle comes out! @_@

Hey atleast cynder will finnaly help spyro instead of running away

Hey, I just read on Spyro World that the next game is going to be called "TBD". I'm betting that stands for "The Black Dragon".

Quite a redundant title.

OMG!!!!! I'm SUPER excited at hearing such news! I can't wait! (HOPEFULLY it's much more difficuly and MUCH more longer). This is AWESOME! Although I wonder why they always make TLoS games in the month of October...

"TBD" is an abbreviation for "to be determined", my dears. The official title hasn't been announced yet.

...I tried. xD

PS3 and Xbox 360!?!?! NOOOO! I won't be able to play it!! Why, OH WHY did I have to go buy a Wii!?!

BTW, what's that thing (on the image) that's chassing Spyro and Cynder?

Some sort of dragon......
Cynder is gonna be cool
AND THEY CHANGED HIS LOOK GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

• First off, uh-duh. Second off, for the sake of awesome main villain is pawn clichés, he better not be the final boss.
  
• By fly any time you mean "Flying will now also be added on to breath/elemental moves, and will sap up a hopefully larger magic meter." Also, flying in this game is terrible. DO A BARREL ROLL, FOX!

I'm hoping he appears as a boss a few times, growing in strength every time.

MEPHILES! *shot*

People, people, people, it says "first appearance", the Powerpoint Presentation said the same thing about the Wii for The Eternal Night, ie they're not the only versions, merely that Spyro is appearing on them for the first time.

Chances are high that there will be a Wii version. A PS2 version is shaky but it's not completely unheard of to have both a PS2 and PS3 release.

*crosses fingers tighter*

Meh...it a horror show

Man, I REALLY hope it's going to be on the PS2. Though, I'm sure it will. Which self respecting company in the world would make the first two games for PS2 and Wii, and then make the last one on PS3/Xbox 360 only?

It'd probably be better money if they did a PS2 version. *shrug*

looking fowerd to play as cynder.

Hey, did anyone else notice that this is the only Spyro game that has had more than one player?

we have to wait to play it on ps2?!?!?! :[

it's the only gaming console i've got! NOOOOOOOOOO!

It's only concept art. I doubt it will reflect the game model, just in the same manner as the boxarts for A New Beginning and The Eternal Night. >.> Given Spyro's target audience there's no way that we'd see him grow older and older or anything.

Quote: dark52

And if the EBgames.com posting of "Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour" is anything to go by then there will indeed be both a PS2 and PS3 version as well as a Wii version.

That would match what they are doing with Ghostbusters, which also is sceduled for this fall.

GHBL!!!
I'd never have guessed the first news for the third TLoS game would come out this early...
And FREE FLIGHT? I wonder how will they manage to keep the combo system intact with this new feature...

Work it like Dragon Time.

i hope you can play as cynder alone, or mabey co-op without needing 2 people

Nice find, "Dark52". And nice job starting out the 2008 News Archive. I was wondering when you were going to post a comment for that section.

Yeah, me too SG2008!!!
It seemed like forever for a new archive to come!!

Well this is cool. Allow me to make my points.

Ok, first I'd have to speak for my favourite point. Co-operative. Those guys really know how to solve a tough problem, as in the fact of people complaining about TEN being too easy, and those who think too hard. They have made the right choice in solving this and it will also add a ton of fun, especially since that means multiplayer. I hope that they do make co-op avaliable alone, like in The Simpsons Game and Lego Star Wars. And not just one character to control non-multiplayer and two on multiplayer, like Crash of the Titans. The only bad thing about this is that there's a huge chance of Cynder being playable and quite frankly I HATE Cynder. Also, I only know one person that will play with me.

Ok, PS3 version was expected, sorta. Not Xbox 360, but oh well. And guys, IT IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN OF THESE TWO CONSOLES BEING THE ONLY AVALIABLE! I don't mean there'll only be handheld versions too. No. There is still a chance of it being on the Wii and PS2. A big chance.

The DM? Aww, man, I hope not. I hope to see him in an interesting form but I don't want him to be the final boss. Yes, maybe the second last but it'd be nice to have an unexpected surprise boss. Maybe the Chronicler... Along with this, it'd be good if the game went on after the boss had been beat. Like in YotD, after beating Sorceress' Lair you had to do more. Or Resident Evil 4, you have to escape from the island (but maybe a bit longer than that). I'd like to see you having to control Spyro maybe returning home. Flash and Nina could make a reappearence.

You may have noticed that there are two characters in ANB and two in TEN which names' are sorta not revealed but able to find out. Like Flash and Nina (Sparx's parents) and Scratch and Sniff (Skabb's parrots). Good if the same sorta thing happens here. Some sort of things you have to do during which to survive like in 'Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition' during cutscenes. Maybe even be able to control where you move during cutscenes and such.

Fly at any time? Hope it's limited, not infitite. That would mean you'd have to alter the game majorly.

Yay! Another one for my birthday!

Well, this news tells me it'll be a fairly good game, but quite shaky. But it's still atleast 8 months until said release, so who knows what could happen?

YYYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!
Now I don't need to have PS3, phew

So, I am waiting...

AND name is COOL!

I found out, Ross, that they are making the games for the PS2 and Wii.

Good enough. But now that means I have to choose which one! Which do you think will be better, PS2 or Wii? I've heard the Wii poses a few problems but then again is better since it's the Wii we're talking about. I haven't experienced Spyro on Wii yet, so what do you suggest?

Zacoda calm down i think that they wont change his looks!

UPDATE: They fixed the title bar and removed the power point. Interesting.
