I won't lie, I have played every single game except for the skylanders... which I would like to play sometime but buying all those stupid toys is such a waste of my money :\
I'm that much of a Spyro-whore. I bought a DS just because there was a spyro game exclusive for it (a shadow legacy) XDD
but yeah.... they really weren't that great.

I dunnoooooooooo. Enter The Dragonfly was pretty awful too ahahaha. It was so... bad. The graphics and mechanics somehow managed to be worse than the original trilogy, and it was released on a newer console. The Legend trilogy wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't sold it under the Spyro name. I'm more upset about the complete reboot and lack of respect to the originals than the gameplay itself.
I just wish Insomniac had never sold it. B(

I think the story was about missing eggs and I had to find them all. It used areas each with portals to worlds to complete, after all are found Spyro is taken to another area by means of a ever differing mode of transport, I remember the first was a hot-air balloon. one area is green land, one is mostly water and the final one I think is on a planet or sorts, that's where I remember being.
All I gotta say is when THIS came out:

I think I would rather play "The Legend of Spyro"
series, than THAT! x)
I nearly cried when they screwed up the character design.
Activision...*shakes fist* that's a company I'd love to
see go down...
They screwed the game, big time imo.

omfg I know he looks like a troll!! not even a dragon! ;A;
yeah, they only used spyro as a marketing technique. it makes me sick to see him die that way... the add on to that game (giants) doesn't even have anything about spyro in it as far I as can see. none of the mercandise.... nothing ;n;
at least tlos was actually about SPYRO.

As I've told a lot of people, in the game industry,
it's not about the player/storyline anymore, it's about $$$.
I'm starting to see a decline in the gaming industry, hell
look at Nintendo for example. Not many, that I've spoken
to, are happy about the "Wiiu". ONLY thing they look forward
too is the new Super Smash Bros...that's it.
I could suggest a few things Nintendo COULD do to get back
on their feet but, I'm afraid:
A: They'll fuck it up like most games are now-a-days
or
B: Only think about the $$$
Let's hope they don't screw up the SSB series. So far, they've
done well...
So far...

It is all about replay value to me.
Coming from someone who has only ever owned playstations but has also spent a share of my time with sega and supernintendo
I loved PS1 and adored the Spiderman games and Spyro and crash. All the goodens. Then PS2 came along and I had even more things to love. I replayed Okami, Jak, Ratchet, Sly, BG&E again and again and it was awesome. Guess what? I have never picked up a single PS3 game a second time after beating it. I love Uncharted but it has no replay value, same with freakin' AC. AC is just OK. It is so poorly executed with its 'story.' Infamous was meh in the long run. So many of them are MEH in the long run.
There definitely has been a decline.

But you must be younger because growing up with the franchise entails the originals and all that followed.
The Elijah ones were pretty to look at for sure! And I liked Cynder but holy crap the gameplay was so stupid and overly difficult and it took 300+ "hits" to kill minor enemies. And oh god having to punch and kick with Spyro? The WORST. And running out of fire breath. ffffffff.

What for, having a different opinion? Why would a difference in opinion be a bad thing? I think we each are entitled to our own opinions, so I see nothing to be pitied for. v.v But oh well. I suppose “It's alright, no offense taken” would be a more suitable reply here.
It just seems like you are missing out. But if you have played both there is nothing I can really judge or base any negativity on.
At least preferring the non-insomniac games is in the EXTREME minority in opinions but if that's what some people dig...well. I guess that is that.

Aye. Not saying I don't like the Insomniac ones at all--Was actually streaming Ripto's Rage earlier to my Vita. And Activision's Skylanders series, well... Haven't poked around with those enough to have an actual opinion of it. I just like the games really, and the Legend series just stuck with me more. And nothing wrong with a minority, it's just another fraction of the overall pie of things.
I second that.
The first ones where awesome because i love when i have to collect it all!
Every aspect of it was so enticing i couldn't stop till i finished them!
The Elijah one were alright, but i definitely hated the gameplays for the DS, and the 360 version just looks like a more childish version of God of War.
The story however was what i liked about them, loving the characters and getting to know the plot more nd more.
Then comes the ending!
It was like someone just drop kicked my soul and set it on fire.
It was one of the saddest endings ever.
Next to Mass Effect 2 where the Normandy gets vaporized many times ass you sit there watching it go down and Borderlands 2 where they kill bloodwing. I loved playing with Blood in the first one and they just BOOM!
ANYWHOS!
Spyro definitely went downhill faster and faster, until we no longer see him as Spyro more than that weird purple thing in skylanders.

It was bad because they made it all epic and a great story and great visuals with cool dragon designs (not spyro with his bit ugly head) and then they forgot to make it tolerable to play. The beauty of the originals is how the story was so simple. "There is a bad guy, collect shit and stop him" and it was SO FUN.
Also running out of fire breath. No.

Okay this I can agree with. Compared to the original Spyro, the Legend trilogy was just not as fun to play. It was far too much "beat up all the bad guys and walk to next area." Too much combat, not enough platforming, which may have been fine if the combat was interesting.
This is really the only reason I played this game LOL I beat the first LoS game.. rage quit the second, and forced myself to go through the.. 'ehh' gameplay in DotD just for the flying, two-player, and fucking around in it xD The combat system in those games was horrid and way too difficult, it really took away from the gameplay, otherwise I feel like I would have liked it a lot more.
Every time I see Spyro now, all I can see is:

Like I said, it's not for everyone, but it's FAR from Sonic 06's league. Plus, a lot of people who loath Skylanders refuse to even give the game a chance. I could understand if you hated the game after actually playing it past the first few levels (Cause it does NOT make the best first impression), but I've met very few people who dislike the game and have played it at all.
With an art direction like that, you can't blame them. If you can't pull in Spyro fans with Spyro alone, because of crucifying Spyro, well... Then maybe someone shouldn't have made him ugly, and turned it really stupid in every commercial.
Oh, and let's not forget it's an EA game, known for being rushed and moneygrubby.

I think Skylanders Spryo is actually kind of cool, to be honest. I didn't like the design at first, but the second time I looked at it, he already grew on me.
Also, Skylanders is made by Toys For Bob, NOT by EA. Heck, it's not even PUBLISHED by EA, it's published by Activision for Pete's sake.

They should have keept the original design for all the lastest games, but oh well. We still have the good original triology, but I honestly think if they made more games in the same style, they would have been better.
The original triology havn't continued yet, and they might never will. If they do, please keep the original Spyro design and gameplay then or else everything will be lost forever! D:

Spyro is one of my all time favourite games.
The only shame about this pic is the head doesn't look like the old Spyro head, to me at least.

This is genuinely making me want to play the PS1 games all over again though :)

The first three games were what made me a gamer, back when I was six and my dad bought me a ps1. Anyone ever run into this little gem on Tumblr?

Me too. I remember on Year of The Dragon seriously struggling with this one area inside that Egypt/Mummy level when I was younger.
Where you had to ride on those weird levitating kart things with canon's & shoot the other opponents. It was at night.
Couldn't do it for ages & kind of gave up. Went back to it years later & completed it.
I always find if I abandon something & go back to it years down the line, I can do it no problem.

I love this! Spyro was the first game I ever played on PlayStation. So many good memories. Now excuse me while I go fire up my PSone and play Spyro: Year of the Dragon once again. Oh and Insomniac Games never sold the rights to Spyro, their publisher, Vivendi Universal Games (Universal Interactive) owned the rights to Spyro and sold them after Insomniac Games moved on to Ratchet & Clank.
Good times, Spyro introduced me to solid gameplay and storytelling that I loved and Elora...damn I fell in love with her when she was introduced in the second game. I had a PS2 and a copy of Spyro the Dragon PS1 sitting in my desk for years. Got it running and realized I couldn't save so I just played through the game nonstop for two days, getting 120% completion...felt like a boss too...
good times
good times
The original Spyro trilogy~ <3
I still have them for my PS1. And they still work. :U
Also, just downloaded the trilogy from the PSN. xD
So, in a nutshell: Your picture just made me fan-D'aaaw and nostalgia even harder. I love this guy so much. And the soundtracks for all games (minus the BS loaded Legend series.) are amazing. :3
(LOL Purple Beast. xD )

I know it is very late, but I just saw this image.
They definitely ruined the chain with this new Legend of Spyro series. They make him look goofy.
I like A Hero's Tail because the graphics are very nice, making Hunter look even better.
One thing I am not sure others have noticed is how there are some erotic elements in it.
For one if you have the camera 3/4 rear shot of Spyro, you can see he does not stand still, but his hips slowly thrust. Blink uses a butt manuever to break things. When he is clinging to one of those vertical moving rocks and you move the camera to look at his side, you'll see he slowly thrusts his hips, and when he puts his head between his legs (what they claim is protection against explosions of his bombs in close-proximity) he moves his head up and down, like he's giving himself a blowjob.
And then there is Otto, the surfing otter Spyro meets. He's clearly young and horny, for Spyro. If you come up behind him he doesn't notice Spyro, so you see he does various actions including rubbing his board. But when he catches sight of Spyro his tail starts wagging strongly, he has his eyes and his mouth wide open and looks like he's breathing heavy, like Spyro gets him all horny.
lol

I may not care for Skylanders Spyro but it's nice to know that he is still around. I wish they'd remake his classic games in HD, I bet lots of kids today would love him just as much as old fans back then. Haha anyway, your style of Spyro is too awesome. You captured the cartoon quality of Insomniac but put your own twist as well and it looks great. Lovely work!
This just gives me feels, seriously! Every time I played the game I felt like I was in it! ugh I still have two of the original PS1 games ... the first one got damaged, sadly but the rest I still got them and I love them forever ;;; nasdkjcasncjkenjaks its just the best game ever! I played it since I was a kid-- probably a baby since mom had it since it came out idk when it was but yes it was perfect ; u ;
