Activision will be bringing back everyone’s favourite dragon (no, not Bruce Lee) Spyro with a new game titled ‘Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure’. It doesn’t stop there though, as a new line of toys will also be released comprising of 31 different action figures. Augmented reality also plays a part, as during the game you can put an action figure on a plastic ‘portal’, and they will then appear on the TV screen becoming part of the game.
No individual prices have been announced, although a starter kit containing the game, the portal, trading cards, and three figures will sell for $70. Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure will be making its way to consoles, handhelds, computers, and phones.

Love the first one, I’m just about to complete it for the 154,628th time, love it. The follow-ups weren’t so good but still probably going to get it.

I wonder if Activision will layoff staff at Toys For Bob when this suddenly stops selling in 1-3 years time.
The first 3 games worked because Insomniac actually had some love and a creative vision for the universe, this feels like the decline of Sonic, only more painful.

I remember the Spyro games for the orginal Playstation. They were awesome, so I hope that this new iteration doesn’t spoil the memories.

Spyro 1-3 were good, but I fear this’ll be more like the PS2 versions.

spyro has been dead to me for a long time, nobody can ever replicate spyro 1

This sounds sickening, just let him die!
(the original three games were perfect and flawless, their future titles however fail to even come close)

Just had a look over at CVG, they’ve got quite a few screenshots up. And they look awfull, sorry to say. Especially Spyro, it looks like he’s doing drugs and he has also shrinked quite a bit. Poor Spyro… :/

If its like the ps1 games it will be awesome. Although the first one on ps2 wasn’t any good, the one after where u could play as different characters was pretty good Fun I thought. The Legend of Spyro series after was more combat orientated. I preferred the adventure ones personally.

Fond memories of playing Spyro on my PS1. Here’s hoping for more of them!
