Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour coming to the PS3

PSU Writes:

" Who is your favorite dragon that knows how to burn those sheep into nothing but crispy delight? Spyro without a doubt is the only one capable of being the answer to that very question.

EB Games and GameStop have officially started taking pre-orders for the lovable dragon for its upcoming title, Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour. They currently have the listed price at $49.99 which happens to be $10 cheaper than usual retail launches. The game is expected to release in October, so you may be able to catch a glimpse of this title at the upcoming Game Developer Conference next week. "

I still remember Spro from the original Playstation days.

Hopefully it will be better than lair.

[Dmack79]

if it's Universal that is developing it then don't expect it to be anything huge. If only Insomniac made just one more game to put to rest Spyro's legendary story.

[Jdash24]

spyro.......now that brings back memories :)

[i_like_ff7]

spyro sucks ass unless insomniac makes it.

[TheHater]

I agree. Spyro died for me after Universal got the right to it.

[Dark_Vendetta]

It's the same with Crash and Naughty Dog :(. Why did they sell the franchise?!?!

[BrotherNick]

Money. Maybe they wanted better IP...I personally think games should stop at 3...or at least don't name them as numbers like MGS4 and DMC4...just put the new title.

[rogimusprime]

I wont lie...when spyro first came out in 1998 (I was 16) i thought it was cool.

He needs to grow up. They should really go dark and have him on some "lair" type dragon feasts.

without the crappy motion controls...

[TheHater]

I agree. This characters has been in the gaming world for over 10 years now, and still look the same.

[blynx182]

But then again we don't want another casualty like Bomber man Act: Zero. Be patient,

[timmyp53]

so then I can test Spyro it out because he has a wii and PS3 and he buys games like that for his wii.

[eddierivera]

Insonmiac made spyro so freaking fun,, then it started to really suck after universal got their hands on it. I played every spyro since and they keep making each one worse than the last. Im thinking this will probably be the same case scenario,, You people want lair type gameplay, then buy lair. You people are the reason why this game got so bad,,, change isnt always the best thing for a series. Its only if its a good change. Making spyro do back flips and knowing karate? Give me a break>

[IzKyD1331]

insomniac wont make the game :[ (i think they sold the rights like 8 years ago)
lets just hope this game isnt like the PS2 spyros

[kspraydad]

they could easily make a PSP one...damn you whomever is making this (not Insomniac).

[Dmack79]

I was only 8 or 7 when I played the first one. That was such a godly franchise, until Universal took over and killed it. They should make him grow up a bit, or at least give him a deeper voice.

[hella whip]

Loved Spyro 2, wish Sony hadn't messed up the EU PSN download of the PS1 game. Without Insomniac making it though it means nothing to me.

[The Swordsman]

Oh, what I would give to play a good Spyro game again. It's been years since I've played a good one.

[jackwei22]

It seems that they know what they're doing and all the youngers ones will love spyro and want a PS3 for that game like ratchet and clank etc? It will sell very well indeed blimey it seems that Sony are really making and releasing the right games for the PS3 and that is why it will do very well indeed.

Also the Wii gamers will enjoy this game too well good luck to the developers of this game :)

[wiizy]

exactly why is that news posted in the wii section ?

[The_Firestarter]

My girlfriend loves Spyro from back in the day of the PS1. When I tell her this, she will flip. :D

[princejb134]

spyro has to retire jsut like mario
even thought when i was a little kid i used to like the little purple dragon
the only way ill buy this game is if spyro matures to a demonic dragon

[CrazzyMan]

LoL.

Spyro? heh, ok, it will be interesting to see how it will look in nextgen glory. =)

[Bnet343]

Oh the PS1 days, I remember Spyro and Crash were my favs.

[Mandangoof]

This whoring out is just killing me. Insomniac's creation was soooo good and fun to play!

[MK_Red]

Insomniac hasn't been at helm since the originals and the Vivendi's titles were crappy to mediocre at best. Unless Insomniac or another worthy dev works on this, I'm not too optimistic.
