    The first three "Spyro" games are amongst the best ever made, I haven't played the "Ratchet and Clank" and "Resistance" games and I know I'm missing out! Insomniac is awesome though, and I miss the glory days of the platformers like "Crash Bandicoot" and "Spyro" - even "Jak and Daxter" and "Ratchet and Clank".

    I loved Disruptor very much when it launched back in '96. I did not however, care for Spyro The Dragon. I was just becoming a young adult and Spyro was akin to a children's game. There was so much available on the original PlayStation (I had a Saturn and N64 as well) that it really wasn't a loss for me. However, that all changed when Ratchet & Clank launched. I have played and own every single entry Insomniac has release. Further, we (fiancee and I) are ready for the new game in the series and will pick it up on day one for our PS5 *physical. I would also love to see a return of Resistance Fall of Man as well.

  • @AshFangirlLisa

    If anything, the series that Activision created (Skylanders) is a spin-off Spyro series. So I don't think they'd have to lose that series.What I mean is, maybe Insomniac could bring back the original Spyro franchise. While at the same time, Activision can continue with the spin-off series. :)

    Will someone PLEASE make a fan-based spin off of the original Spyro games? Of course you can't call him "Spyro", but make him a dragon, BLUE (since blue is the closest thing you can get to purple) breathe fire, and charge. + glide&hover with headbashing and swimming of course. But I want a game where you collect dragons, Orbs, AND eggs. Have the Dragons throughout the level, Orbs in side quests, and eggs by catching theives. :DDDDDDDDD

  • @alexfrom302
    @alexfrom302 12 лет назад

    Funny how they wanted to name the company Resistance which is what they have named their newest game franchise. It also interesting how they left Universal along with Spyro to go onto Ratchet and Clank. The same way Naughty Dog left Universal with Crash Bandicoot to make Jak and Daxter. Now Uncharted and Resistance couldn't be more different from both each other and what their companies started with.

  • @J-Nigma
    @J-Nigma 11 лет назад

    It's depressing to see the old Spyro now. There's a slight chance we can still see Naughty Dog make another Crash game if they buy the rights back (as the IP isn't doing so well these days) but Skylanders is so popular that we will likely never see another good Spyro game ever again. I wish that Naughty Dog would try to buy the Crash IP though, 1/2 is better than nothing.
