Sorry for no weekly Spyro video last Friday, I wasn't here to post it.
As for this week, we have an awesome tribute to Spyro made by Spyro fan Rexy of Sierra Spyro Forum. With cool, symphonic, re-mixed Spyro tunes and footage from all the console Spyro games, this is one awesome homage to the purple dragon! Like Rexy said, this is the type of video collage you might see at a videogame show such as Videogames Live. Every Spyro fan should enjoy seeing the evolution of Spyro over the years and hearing the fun re-mixes.
Welcome to another edition of Hind Site. This week is a little different as we offer to you not a site of Spyro's past (per se) but one that just launched and we are celebrating it! A member at our forum, Razz, has diligently been working on creating a site to honor one of her favorite Spyro characters, Elora, for quite some time. It is now launched at you should all check it out. Elora has never had much recognition with Spyro players, either by fan sites or just a fan base - she's always been one of the lesser talked about characters - until now! The site, Just For Faun, is chock full of Elora information, tidbits, art and more. Congratulations, Razz, on completing the site and best of luck.
As for everyone else...here's the link...check it out!
Griffinluna of the Sierra Forums works at Game Stop and had the following to say:
Quote:
While at my job today...we got an e-mail update, as we do as soon as new games become reservable.
The Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour
PS2- $39.99
Wii- $49.99
PS3- $49.99
360- $49.99
DS- $29.99
two versions for main consoles.
PS2 and Wii- lower res graphics, but something with a data "recall", or in other words, PS2 can take the save data from ANB and TEN for something extra (unknown) as the Wii can take ANB from a gamecube memory card and TEN from the Wii memory.
PS3 and 360- much high detail in graphics, superior sound quality...but no Wii remote :( lol
and DS...will probually bomb again.
those are all the updates we got...they are all confirmed for 10/07/08
October 7th.
I know there has been romurs, so this might not be much help. Just wanted to update you guys that it was official.
coinisidentally, the follow up to Crash of the Titans is coming out the same day, entitled Crash Invasion Bandicoot Snatches.
weird name, eh?
but ya...unless Krome and Sierra do something drastic, there is the confirmed dates and platforms.
Also, no GBA or PSP.
At least no PSP for certain. since we no longer are updated on GBA games (being that there hasn't been a new release in several months) we can assume that the GBA is offically dead, and TLoSDH will prosumablly not be on that system.
sad, I loved TEN on GBA.
That's taken word for word from what he said. I wonder what this interesting "data recall" feature will unlock?! Also, the GBA version of Eternal Night was awesome, so I hope they might put Darkest Hour on there, especially after GBA TEN was so widely critically acclaimed.
For this week's Hind Site, we offer for your nostalgic purposes, the official Spyro: Year of the Dragon site from Europe. It had some cool games an d character biographies but my favorite part is the strange designs to the characters on the site. They look boxy or like origami.
Worth a checking-out if you haven't been there, and even if you had drop in for a trip down memory lane!
EB Games has put up a listing for a Wii game called Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour. Take this with the hugest grain of salt (heck, take the whole shaker with you). This is purely speculative and more than likely a mistake. It's just funny that they say it could ship in 24 hours.
This may or may not be the game's title. Following yesterday's announcement of The Legend of Spyro 3, seeing something along these lines make sense but don't jump to any conclusions just yet.
EB Games also updated their listings with Crash: Invasion of the Bandicoot Snatchers for multiple consoles. Spyro and Crash games are oft announced together. Is this a sign of some truth behind this name?
Obviously the ESRB rating stands at RP (Rating Pending). They claim pre-release ships on 10/7/08. The game is listed as "Action, Adventure".
If these listings were true, the game will be coming out for the Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Nintendo DS and Wii. Where's the X-Box 360 listing that would coincide with yesterday's surfacing of TLoS 3 information? Again, don't get excited yet - this is all purely speculative in nature.
As GoNintendo said: Nothing confirmed just yet, but GameStop isn’t pulling these names out of thin air.
What you see above is the first piece of concept art for The Legend of Spyro 3. I bet that's the Dark Master behind Spyro!
Velvet Octopus, who is dealing with the devlopment of the Spyro movie has dropped the first bits of information on the game:
Quote:
The Legend of Spyro: Part III (final title TBD)
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
This information has to come to us from a small slide show that discusses A New Beginning and Eternal Night as well as Spyro's gross profit over the years and his past games.
It should be noted that there is some confusion over what systems this will be on. The slide show simply mentions this is the first time a Spyro game will grace the PS3 and X-Box 360 systems, that doesn't in any way rule out a Wii or PS2 version. There have already been Spyro games for the Wii, PS2, and other systems, so more than likely that's why the other systems weren't mentioned.
Funny...they misspelled "Spyro" in the the site's title bar as "Spyru".
UPDATE: They fixed the title bar and removed the power point. Interesting.
The information has come early this year. The announcements for Spyro sequels usually leak in June/July so having come in February this time is a bit of a surprise....but who's complaining?!
At the same time, we have a new image from the Spyro movie:
Spyro looks strangely old in that image.
Thanks goes to Vitani333 from SpyroForum for the find.
In a strange twist of events, our 'enemy number one' per se, RaidonMakoto of that 'other Spyro wiki' is now a system operator of our wiki and from my understanding will slowly phase out the wiki that he had. For a while, our two wikis were butting-heads as Raidon and myself both wanted to succeed above each other which meant we were in direct competition. That is now all in the past. This merger is great for all of you, and all Spyro fans, because we now have a wiki literate person in charge. Neither Spyrorocks nor I were well versed in anything wiki-related. Raidon is.
Our two wikis presented a true catch-22. His wiki had many quality articles, images and proper coding (e.g. infoboxes) but had less than ten members. We here at SpyroWorld have nearly 1,000 members (just 16 to go as of right now) but our wiki lacked proper coding, and although it has over 100 articles...they lacked imagery, and the majority were under 50 bytes. Combining the expertise of Raidon, and his lengthy articles (not to mention images) with our large userbase, we will create the ultimate Spyro wiki - a truly unique, comprehensive compendium for all things Spyro. This is reason to celebrate!
This week we present to you an ad for Spyro 2: Ritpo's Rage. It was done in claymation and was meant to serve as a parody of those cartoons of yesteryear where the naughty boy who didn't do as he was told gets his comeuppance.
Welcome to the second edition of Hind Site, where we connect you to sites from Spyro's past that you may or may not have known about.
This week we offer one of the very first Spyro websites ever. The Dragon News Network. Created to promote the first Spyro game, Spyro the Dragon, it was set-up like an online newspaper with news, editorials and interviews. It offers interesting information bits that didn't appear in Insomniac's games. Some examples include how Insomniac said Spyro was born, the fact dragons had a currency called 'Dracos' (presumably these were coins) and also mentioned some locations not seen in the games. An all-around interesting site that luckily still exists.
