3:49 PM - Friday the 5th of August, 2011 - by dark52
The official Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure twitter account has posted a brand new trailer for the game.


A lot of the footage is from the previous E3 trailer but there are a few new bits in there including two previously unseen Skylanders; Dino-rang and Zook.

I know everyone tells me Spyro will never be the same again and I accept that but the idea of children playing Skylanders without realizing how Spyro used to be one of the greatest platforming games of all time back then still leaves me uncomfortable. Bobby Kotick saying Skylanders will be the best toy ever doesn't exactly help either.

I'm not in a good mood yet ironically though it's not Skylanders this time since I had a rainy summer, a scanner that won't work and people actually defended Call of Duty douchebags and justifying the creepy otaku.

Who cares? By the time LoS came out, very few people knew what Spyro was like back in the old days. So long as people still know there is such a thing as Spyro, then those who are interested can find the old games to play if they want. End of story. And props to Bobby for having faith in his product.

When has Bobby Kotick ever lost faith in his product? His ego is as big as his money vault. Remember what how much Tony Hawk RIDE sucked? What does Kotick do? Release another one that basically shelved the Tony Hawk games (as well as Guitar Hero)

This trailer uses too many old bits for me to honestly care.

Though I'm a bit curious as to why it didn't mention PC as one of the systems....

Tony Hawk (on hiatus)
Guitar Hero (on hiatus)
Crash Bandicoot

He's lost faith before.

Nice dodge of the issue you originally brought up there. smilie And, no, I don't remember anything about Tony Hawk because it was never something I was interested in from the start. And I don't ever recall seeing quotes about specific games from Kotick in the past, good or bad, so there's that. There's also the little thing that a CEO (which Kotick is) is not in charge of directly releasing games, so he's not the one who made Tony Hawk suck, he's just the guy who had the final say on whether they'd give the franchise another try after it's bad game (which didn't work, so the company at large, not just Kotick, decided to shelve the franchise for now*).

* "Hiatus" means "temporary state which could change any time", not "gone forever".

^ Skylanders is a reboot, Sedar. That means it has nothing to do with the Legend series nor the Classic series. So you might as well be pissed since there's a high chance Cynder won't even be in this game. All because Cynder is gone, it makes some fans angry.. Hm...

Grammatically fixed for those whom can't read it.

..................It still doesn't make sense. The most I can guess is that you think they would do better with the movie than with the game, in which I say "no they wouldn't". The film would've been a box office bomb, like most video game adaptations.

Okay. I love the original Spyro series. It was a huge part of my childhood, I wish kids today knew of it, I hated EtD and LoS because they screwed around too much with my nostalgia, but you know what? I'm actually looking forward to Skylanders. I think slapping Spyro's face on a game that could've done without it was a bit unnecessary, but it's better than mutating the original worlds in a way that was either lazy, missed the mark, or took itself way too dang seriously. I think this game looks like a good amount of effort and marketing savvy was put into it, and for that, I'm cool with it. So if this is what kids thing Spyro is in this day and age, fine. At least it's getting a fresh start. :T

I've never thought about it like that, but I'm still not very bothered about the game, I'll read up about it, and later on when I find a playthrough of it on YouTube, I may watch a couple of videos on it, but that's as far as I will go with it, there's just other games of my interest right now.

Spyro is a video game character, therefore he can only die in your mind when you are fed up of that video game character. Now this may seem cinfusing as to which Spyro you are talking about.

I've seen a few people say that the red dragon at the end of the trailer looks like Flame from A Hero's Tail, and others like yourself say it looks like a younger version of Ignitus from LoS. It does look like both of them to me, but I highly doubt it is actually them.

Activision's handling would obviously change how Spyro is. So I honestly find those topics to be the same.
