Hehe, well this isn't looking good. Scenario 2 is playing out. Thanks to it's new release date, it's not going to get much attention. They have to deal with the new Pokemon game. Then come December it will be dust in the when. Seems Spuro's spotlight died out before he had a chance.

Yes, I know it's harsh, but this is my realistic prediction.

Well since it’s not a core pokemon game like sun and moon, diamond and pearl, red and blue, the pokemon game probably won’t command THAT much attention, besides it’s Spyro, while most will go to pokemon, I think the crowds that grew up with the old Spyro games will be playing reignited to relive their nostalgia.


Delays are necessary when needed, rushing out a game that’s not completely finished is not a good idea, because if that negatively affects the gameplay, it will get hit with negative reviews and will actually kill the game. Good things come to those who wait *is staring at kingdom hearts 3*


Spyro will have a market, they just need to make sure to put money into advertising, if they dont start advertising in October then it could have problems, but as long as it is kept relevant and promoted, Spyro should find success.


That’s how i see it myself, but who knows only time will tell

Pokemon will sell, kids and parents out umber the actual gamers. As for nostalgia, that too is in the minority. Pokemon beats Spyro. Not to mention it around the holiday season with the new SSB game. Chances to sell well are slim.

Kingdom and Spyro aren't even in the same league. Kingdom has a solid frame already built. It will do well no matter what. Spyro had the skyladanders fiasco. Kill it reputation. It can't avoid to miss a deadline or push the date of release back.

Spyro has a small market. Which is slowly dwindling due to being pushed back another two month. It loosing to the other big name titles. Doesn't matter if it advertise well, when Pokemon is their competion. They might as well push it back to January. After the Pokemon. And SSB craze dies down a little.

Im not saying pokemon won’t sell, just not in a way like core games do, ssb will be a serious challenger, but Spyro will sell as well, but Spyro won’t survive if it is rushed out, if it was released in its original date then it could have issues if its not fully finished which seems to be the implied status with two thirds of the game currently not on the disc


If the extra time is to ensure completion and functionality, then it will only help sales, reignited is a game that popular youtubers won’t ignore and keep the game in the spotlight, even if it is to be shared, the delay is likely necessary and for the best. Pokemon can only take so much, but again being more spin offish sort of console looking version of pokemon go, its not going to create as much obsession as the core games do, it will sell but not like core games do, i for one not too interested in lets go, smash and Spyro yes but Spyro will be my preferred.

Spyro is just having a bad way for it either way. Rush the product or compete with bigger titles, neither are optimal for it to sell well.

As for the whole 1 game being on Disc instead of all three, people need to get over it. It how games are done these day. You get the first or base game, the rest has to be download. Cheaper on the manufacturering cost. 8 GB cartridge/disk won't cost as much as a 16GB or 32GB.

Your over estimating Spyro. Again, don't forget Skylanders the game and show. Kinda feels like Sega's Sonic (only not as bad). Unless something happens or the sales prove me wrong (which could easily happen), I'll keep a realistic view point.

The show and skylandars really isn’t saying that much, never watched the show and haven’t played the skylanders but to me skylandars just looks like its own thing that also happens to have Spyro characters, but I can’t really say much more since I haven’t played it beyond it being a way to sell lots of little toy figurines like the amiibo


The deal with the all on one disc is more why make a physical version if you are only going to release the majority of the content as digital might as well go all the way and save even more money by not making discs at all. People like physical copies for reasons of having nice box art to admire, convenience of not having to burn up bandwidth or some cases data limit to download large game files, if it’s all on the disc then it just skips downloading and goes straight to installing, easier for people with slow or limited downloads. Others enjoy having a collection build up to set up on shelves or such. Many reasons why people still want physical copies, but if two thirds are download only then why bother with the physical at all?

I just hope Spyro doesn't end up in the same position as Klonoa.

Fingers crossed for disks.
