Finished The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night and wondering when you're going to find out what happens next? Well wonder no longer. Velvet Octopus, involved with the upcoming Legend of Spyro film, have posted the first information about the third entry to the trilogy.

Quote:
  • First appearance on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
  • Epic culmination of "Legend of Spyro" storyline Spyro finally faces the Dark Master
  • Fly at any time - first free flight in a Spyro game
  • Co-op play with Cynder (female dragon)
  • Global release Oct/Nov 2008


Other platforms aren't mentioned but I wouldn't cross them out just yet.

And even though this will wrap up the Legend of Spyro story they also go on to mention that annual releases of Spyro on all major gaming platforms in 2009 and beyond are planned.

UPDATE: Called "Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour"? EBgames, they list PS3, PS2, Wii, Xbox 360 and DS versions of the game.

Thanks go to Vitani333 on SpyroForum and Neal from SpyroWorld.

i hate the fact that we already know so much information about it! even that it's in process of being completed...
it kills me! the anticipation builds up and then it dies and i'm not as excited as i was at first. boo. :[

but yeah. if we have to wait for it to come out on ps2, i'm probably just going to rent a ps3. :]
they still rent out game consoles, right?

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?

Which system did you get The Eternal Night for, if you did?
What have your PS2 purchases been like in the past 18 months?
Is there anything on the Wii that seems to catch your eye moreso than any PS2/PS3 title out there right now?

I think answering those questions could help you out here in terms of direction.

Ah, the GameStop/EBgames site does have an Xbox 360 version listed, they just spelt the title wrong for that one "Legend of Spyrol: Darkest Hour".

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?


At least I don't feel alone in my flying/final boss opinions. >.>

Probably well worth it, Zacoda1. But really, the only way Krome can get the best out of the PS3's impressive visuals and processing power is developing that version of the game on that console. If they simply develop the game on the Wii and then port it to the PS3, the PS3 version will be heavily flawed and little more than the Wii version with better graphics, graphics that would have been better if it had been developed on the PS3.

PS2.

Quote: Rexy
What have your PS2 purchases been like in the past 18 months?


Well, the last I can remember of those are TEN and Crash of the Titans, but they were presents. TEN has become my fourth favourite Spyro game and Crash of the Titans was pretty good and addictive but rather easy, especially when you could control powerful titans and also I now have no motivation to reach 100%. TEN was too short as well.

From a friend at school I got Lego Star Wars (First Trilogy) and the game was quite fun at times but it had no speech at all and bearly any pointers to tell you what to do. It's also really fun on co-op but now the next level fails to load.

The only two I remember actually buying from a proper shop were Medal of Honor: European Assault and Need for Speed: Underground 2. MoH is pretty good and the multiplayer modes are awesome but it's a bit confusing. NfS wasn't exciting at all and lacked originality completely. I've barely played either game at all.

Ah, yes. I got ANB as a present, too. It wasn't as good as TEN but it seemed a good length and I was more excited to get it. I also think I got Crash Tag Team Racing in that time and it's ok and I still play it but it had little racing and the on-foot parts were only Single Player and often annoying. I'll never find that last Die-o-rama.

Is there anything on the Wii that seems to catch your eye moreso than any PS2/PS3 title out there right now?


Well, there's Super Mario Galaxy, which I've heard is a real hit and I've seen a video of it and it looks really cool, but it looks too expensive. Metroid Prime I've seen a video of too that's good and apparently if you like Resident Evil 4 then you'll love Metroid Prime. I'm considering more now to get TDH (The Legend of Spyro: The Darkest Hour) on Wii because in the 8 months until release the makers will probably realize the problems with TEN on the Wii, like the Knock-Up Attack or Fury, and make it better. So maybe that's sorted out the problem.

But alongside that, does this information sound like I'd probably like the Wii version better?

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!


Being able to fly everywhere is akward enough that they may never do it.

Plus now with the Spyro movie comming out there may be a plot with a new story to fit the spyro game

Furthermore, Spyro enter the dragonfly didn't have a planned plot.
