Not Spyro # 1: The Pancake House
It seems as if our little purple hero has his own pancake house... Spyro's Pancake House
Yummy!
Spyro's Lair has been undergoing some changes but now it seems that they're all done and accounted for.
The dragon avatars have been updated and given a look akin to Dawn of the Dragon.
Check it out.
As promised, the Velvet Octopus page for the Spyro film has been updated to coincide with the Cannes Film Festival.
Not much new, but now there's a synopsis:
| Quote: | A very special dragon’s egg is being guarded by Ignitus. However, it’s being hunted and is no longer safe. Ignitus hands the precious egg over to a woodland full of Dragonflies to keep. Knowing these creatures are peaceful and more importantly hard to find, Ignitus calls on an allegiance from their distant ancestry. The Dragonflies will protect the egg and raise the dragon as their own.
Brought up alongside Sparx, Spyro is led to believe that he himself is a dragonfly who just happens to be slightly bigger and purpler than the other dragonflies.
Until... one day the village is attacked and Spyro has been found. Instinctively using his unknown powers, Spyro realises just how different he is. Confused and upset, he learns that he is not in fact a dragonfly, but a dragon who carries the role of being part of a great prophecy that will bring peace to all the land.
Spyro, along with his trusty sidekick Sparx pursue this epic adventure and attempt the impossible; the demise of the deadly Dark Master. However, between them stands Cynder, a very powerful black dragon powered by the red crystal around her neck, which enslaves her to the Dark Master. Eventually though, good prevails over evil and Spyro manages to overcome Cynders’ powers and destroy the red crystal. The destruction of the crystal releases all the dead from the Dark Master’s enslavement and everyone rejoices.
All seems well, as Spyro becomes a hero for saving all of dragonkind. However, lurking in the far distance we spy a swirl of clouds… and inside of it, two pulsing red eyes. The story continues…. |
See it for yourself.
Mark Dippe has been confirmed to direct. The plot starts off sounding like what we saw in A New Beginning, but steers off course. Will this film be contradictory to the games or compliment - acting like an expansion or a back story? Possibly they will act like an interquel - taking place in between what happened in the game.
I'm sure there's still more to come that will tell us the answers.
Even though you shouldn't be here reading this - this is your day of no commitments - we wanted to wish all you mothers a happy day.
And if you're not a mother - shame on you, you should be with your mothers - but even so, wish your mothers well on her day for us.
And that got us wondering: has your mom ever played Spyro? If that answer is yes, what Spyro games has she played? Did she like them? If she hasn't tried them why not? Not a gamer? You've never tried to share your Spyro love?
Tell us your mom and Spyro stories or just share any Mother's Day feelings here!
Gaming site Destructoid has posted a list of their top ten most anticipated games of 2008. Number three on that list? Spyro! Ranked above Metal Gear Solid 4 and Resistance 2 .
Here's what they had to say:
| Quote: | The first three Spyro games on the PlayStation hold a very special place in my heart. In fact, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon (the second and third games) are two of my favorite platformers of all time. But since that last glorious PSOne game, most of the entries in the series have been rather lackluster efforts (Insomniac only developed the original three games and subsequently sold off the license to Universal).
This will be the first next-gen title, and after checking out Hamza’s impressions of the game, I am unbelievably stoked for it. Hearing about things like its revamped art direction and tone, as well as the new ability to fly for as long as you want and a co-op story mode, has got me wet in the pants for this game. Here’s hoping it’ll live up to my expectations. |
See for yourself.
It's mail time! If you're subscribed to the Sierra Insider e-news bulletin, you may have found a new newsletter revealing... everything we know. Don't fret, however, as a new wallpaper was included. The image is the same as we've seen but at least it's an official wallpaper... not another fan made one.

Even though we haven't had any updates on the 2009 Spyro film lately, it's still in production. A new Variety article briefly mentions Velvet Octopus - the company behind the film - and includes a mention of the Spyro movie.
| Quote: | | Velvet Octopus has a five-pic deal with producer Ash Shah, which includes two more 3-D projects, both CGI animated — “Outback,” the story of a white koala bear, and “The Legend of Spyro,” a spin-off from the best-selling video game. |
Read it for yourself.
Other sites noticed the mention, as well.
There's a video interview with Chris Wilson, a producer on Dawn of the Dragon, available on Game trailers in which he pretty much summarizes all we know about the game.
See the interview here.
1UP had some comments from the producers of the Legend trilogy in their preview.
| Quote: | | He's leaner, more athletic -- more of a teenager now," says Michael Graham, associate producer of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. |
| Quote: | | "He's a dragon -- of course he can fly," senior producer Chris Wilson says... "He couldn't in previous games because it was a technical limitation [and] difficult to pull off." |
Nothing new, really, but still let's us hear from the creative driving force behind the trilogy.

Plus there's some non-watermarked, high-quality character concepts in the Vide Game Generation Gallery.
Anyone who worried that the change in developers meant a change in composers can now rest easy. Our good friend Becky Kneubuhl, who co-composed the beautiful music for the last two Legend of titles wrote to me this morning informing me that she would indeed be back with her partner (in music, that is) Gabriel Mann. She also says that all these fears over changes aren't grounded in that the same brain trust behind the last two Legend games are back. Here's what she had to say:
| Quote: | Gabe and I are indeed hard at work on Dawn of the Dragon. Now that it's officially announced, we can officially say we're officially writing official music.
Rest assured there will be continuity from our standpoint as well as the game as a whole; the producers at Sierra are the same as the first two games in the series (Chris Wilson and Michael Graham, Spyro genius producers extraordinaires). Our direction comes from them, as well as the creative oversight of the games in general, so I think there is no reason to worry about crazy changes to characters or the story arc, etc.
I can't give out specific details beyond what's been announced, but I can say that we are EXTREMELY excited about this game and have been incredibly impressed by what we've seen so far. |
When asked if she knew why Krome was replaced, Becky responded:
| Quote: | Honestly, I don't actually know all the details. Sometimes developers and publishers just can't come to terms on a contract for various reasons, which may have nothing to do with the game itself - but I don't have any real information, sorry!
Have no fears - franchise is in good hands at Sierra. :) |
Thank you, as always, Becky and Gabe for your cooperation. Good luck with the music! We're looking forward to it!
