Holy.

Shit.

When did Spyro get epic?

And what happened to the annoyingly-voiced dragon that went on bland platforming adventures in the days of yore?

...Why the hell are there two Dragons? D: Where'd that second one come from?

Her name's Cynder. She was introduced in an earlier game (the game that trailer is for is actually the third game in a trilogy).

Oohh...Wow.

I've only ever played one spyro game. XD

Likewise. the Legend of Spyro trilogy is COMPLETELY news to me. XD;

A lot of people on the internets are complaining about it, but I think nostalgia is blinding them to the fact that the new face of the Spyro series is a HUGE FUCKING IMPROVEMENT. LIKE SERIOUS.

*nods*

Spyro couldn't stay a young dragon forever. He had to grow up!

The only Spyra game I ever played was for the original PlayStation. XD

Yeah, Ripto's Rage was the only Spyro game I ever owned or played. Except for the Spyro 1 demo I played on one of those spiteful Playstation Demo Discs.

I loved it when I was younger, but playing it again now... it kinda sucks in every possible aspect. Repetitive gameplay, unimaginative story, bad voice acting. I love the new face of the series to death.

It seems that The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning was a Reboot for the series, i.e. they completely discarded all existing canon and started the story from scratch. I like what they did with it.

Ah.

Sounds like they did a good thing. At least, in my eyes/ears.
