Yer have to agree! Looks nice! Only ever played the first Spyro on PS1 and loved it! Hopefully its more of the same with better graphics! Unless the series has changed much since the 1st one!

Well, probably the graphics is the only good thing in the game... Would surprise me alot if the rest was good too.

This is how Banjo3 should have been done
Keep the gameplay, just improve the graphics...
I think there is an article on IGN about this.

Just keep making the same old 32-bit games all over again, amirite?
Excuuuze Rare for not being a 3rd-rate Dev like this one.

Spyro looks disgusting . Worse... they try to aply the shiny edges like the latest Mario uses, and Fail in doing so.
Spyro looks more like a 4-legged lamp, than anything else.

Crash Bandicoot 1 still remains one of the best games of all time for me.

Why change a formula that works im saying,
Can't wait to see a Forza themed platform game at this rate..
I mean if Banjo can drive cars, then why can't it work the other way?

Those are all great games that got good reviews. They just cater to a different crowd. Well, Perfect Dark might be an exception, but it didn't suck so what ever.

I remember playing Spyro 3: Year Of The Dragon on the PS1.

Man, that was an AWESOME game. One of my favourite platformers ever.

Shame the franchise is probably crap now.

if developers dont try anything new then we never get anything new.. why make 3D games when 2D games worked?...or less of a stretch, why give cod4 multiplayer "perks" when cod2 multiplayer worked fine?

And that's why you have games like Spyro and Pokemon that have absoloutely zero growth or evolution with each passing game, they just release the same game over and over. I thought we want originality and innovation, not recycled games. Banjo still looks very much like Banjo, only now you use vehicles to solve puzzles and reach new areas.

Apparantly you completely missed all of those games because all of them (with the exception of PD0, which still wasn't all that bad) all of them were great games. Particularly Viva Pinata, which is easily one of the best and most original games released this generation.
