TeamXbox bring the first eight images of the new game The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning to the public.
It seems like Krome Studios are the developers this time around and that they will probably be ignoring the Japanese Spyro origins by having Spyro raised by a family of dragonflies for some reason. It does seem however that Spyro will be back in the flying seat instead of Sgt Byrd who took over for A Hero's Tail.
Thanks go to Mozepy for finding the article.
The game is also mentioned in a GameSpot news article and also a GameSpot E3 pre-show first look. And the same press release as on TeamXbox. No images on GameSpot just yet though. They also confirm Krome Studios as the developers for all but a DS version, that one they say is by Amaze Entertainment again.
Also, Vivendi now have a proper page with a rather bland looking logo as well as five screens of the game, four of them not on TeamXbox.
And IGN now also have an article about the game, but there's nothing new there.

So... I see spyro has a new look. He seems a lot more cartoonish than in previous games. Also, in the gamespot article they mention that the game's villian is an evil, female, black dragon named Cinder. Sounds very cool. I can't wait for E3!
I saw Spyro's picture....ewww he is ugly!
I thought that was supposed to be like a baby Spyro (nothing can be Japan's Baby spyro who is cute), now I am worried, is this what happened before Spyro 1, like he will be young, or will he be older, and this is after Shaodw Legacy, and he is going back to see where he came from!?!?
I'm confused now, we have two sides to the story.
I wish they had combined the japanese origin with this new one. Like after he was hatched he went to the swamps to grow up.
VU probably doesn't even know the japanese story exists!
And I didn't like the Ty games, and they received mediocre reviews. (The last Ty game got a '6.9', that is less than 'A Hero's Tail'.
So far the images are just bossses, boss after boss, I hope that isn't the whole game.
The storyline sounds like "Kermit:The Swamp Years" or whatever, where Kermit the frog goes to learn his origin.
The story seems bland, and God I hope that isn't the logo, it is sooooo lame.
Krome, please don't screw up, we WANT and NEED a good new Spyro game!

It certainly sounds like this takes place right after Spyro is born and so the Spyro in the pictures is supposed to be a younger Spyro. He does very slightly have a resemblence to some of the Origin of Spyro pictures, slightly.
Perhaps they'll have thieves steal the egg which is why he ends up in the swamp with the dragonflies instead of with other dragons, but it certainly isn't going to match exactly to the Japanese manual.
And I really doubt that's the logo.

Yes, I see what you mean. It does look like thos pictures. I highly, in fact 100% doubt anything from the Japanese Story is in there AT ALL! I very mucf doubt that is the logo as well. And it says that Cynder (the new boss) is trying to ressurect an evil spirit force, I posted that game idea on the VU forums and everyone said it would be perfect in Spyro 6....hmmm......
I wonder who the "Dark Master" is. And GameSpot sounded fairly positive about the game.
I now read another article, yes this does follow him from birth. I hope they work it all out so we know why Spyro went from having 4 breath attacks and special powers in this game, which we should call Spyro 0 I think or Spyro Prequel, to having just one breath and little power in Spyro 1. I hope it isn't dopey like the last boss curses him to lose power after each adventure (which would describe why he always starts fresh) or something lame like that.
E3 can't come too soon.
I hope Krome does their best by this game!

If those are all bosses, they look really cool! The lightning baboon, the vampire bat thing, and the moss covered rock dude look far more of a threat than any of a Hero's Tail's bosses. Personally, I thought Ineptune was the most weak, un-original Spyro villian ever created. Also, I'm getting tired of hub areas having elemental themes. I remember back in Spyro 1 when the home worlds were all unique. They were not just, ' the snow world' or 'the volcano world' like in a Hero's Tail. I wan't another Dream Weavers type erea, with floating islands, twisted castles, and crazy enemies! Or something totally original. What do you guys think?
gnastyratchet - then this will suck to hear, but if you read the GameSpot article you will see that the elements play MORE of a role than ever before, and all the hubs will be named after the elements and will be entirely element oriented, more so than any other Spyro game!
Also that rock monster look like the stone golem boss I made named "Rocky" and then posted on the VU forums. I'm sorry for being paranoid I just know of several cases where gamers post ideas online and then developers who are braindead find and use them!

Hey! I just noticed something while looking at the screenshots. If you go on vivendi's site, there is a screen showing spyro fighting a lightning baboon thing. There is also a screen with a bat-like creature. If you look closely, you can see the baboon thing riding on the back of the bat creature! It's just like Ripto riding on Gulp back in spyro 2. Maybe this is a sign of the return of epic, muti-staged bossed battles! Hooray!
The new boss sounds pretty cool. About the elements theme, I don't mind it all that terribly much, if it weren't for the fact that's EXACTLY how the worlds were based in AHT.
And, OMG, that picture of Spyro on TeamXbox is hideous. UGH!

Maybe...just maybe, let's hope it looks different when in action, and the elements theme is okay, it is just used in maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany games, all the time! I want to learn more about this "Dark Master" and about the spirit thing that Cynder is trying to ressurect.

I think this Spyro game will have absolutely nothing to do with any of the other Spyro games, except that Spyro is in it (they haven't even mentioned Sparx). So I guess when playing this game, forget everything you knew about Spyro (and how cute he looked before they made him ugly). I think this game is meant to stand along, because they are trying to fix something that I don't think needed fixing. Spyro was a platforming game, and it was fun as a platforming game. Because they are starting their own story over from the beginning, they can mold this into anything they think will sell.
IGN said this is the better type of game for Spyro anyways, Spyro was raised by dragonflies so I'm sure Sparx is in it, and I don't know what they are trying to fix but let us all hope it works and is good!
I just want the old insomniac-spyro style back, but that isn't going to happen so ???

This game looks amazing, I just hope the gameplay is wayyyyyyyyy better then that last two games and that the world are better looking and not elementally based........if this game turns out bad.....lets hope the ps3 graphics and the new gameplay turns out greattttt...
I looks really good from the screenshots...I can't wait! IGN says its like God of war, so i guess you'll be fighting alot. That sounds awesome! It also sounds like you can upgrade him...hurry up Krome and finish it so we can play it!!

Sorry to dissapoint you, but I think this game is only for the current generation consoles. There is no news for a PS3 version as of yet.

If the combat is going to be like God of War (which is an awesome game), then I hope the enemy AI has been improved by a couple hundred notches. No more bad guys just standing in one spot, waiting for Spyro to attack so they can smack him with a hammer. Also, I can't wait to see Spyro's claw and tail attacks in action. GAMESPOT! PLEASE POST SOME VIDEOS AFTER E3!

I know spyro is not coming out in ps3, but if the new spyro turns out like the other spyro's in ps2, I just hope the graphics and gameplay of the spyro game after spyro 6.....is going to be much better in the ps3......
