"This weeks Playstation Store update brought with it a ton of new content, including the original Spyro the Dragon trilogy that originally called the Playstation its home. Well now Spyro and his buddies are moving up in the world (forget the last generation games, they were awful) and have settled down on the latest Playstation devices. Spyro is now available to download and play on your Playstation 3, Playstation Vita and Playstation Portable.
So, in celebration of long overdue return of Spyro, we’re going to be reviewing each of the original games over the next couple of days, starting with the one that started it all, Spyro the Dragon." - TGC
Retro games are now pretty much gone, and while they're a thing of the past, they had stuff in them that make them worth busting out an old system for.
I scanned that $%^& all the time, just for the heck of it. I loved manuals man
When manuals started going away I was pretty upset. But I've come to realize they're really not necessary at all, and I buy almost everything digitally now anyway.
Same here. Can't believe they've progressively moved on to a point where we have to consider ourselves lucky if there's a single sheet of paper in the case to give a vague briefing on controls today.
I don't miss having to use memory cards or wired controllers or having to deal with games in 50Hz (something neither the japanese nor the americans have ever had to deal with) though,
Retro games are now pretty much gone, and they're a thing of the past.
Wish they would return, how long can you play open world games?
I rather play Crash,Jax an Daxter,Ratchet and Clank,Metal Slug,Raiden,Gradius,Castlevani a,Super Metroid to name a few.
than Call of Duty,Destiny,Battlefield,Mass Effect etc.....
The holidays are here, and we asked around for some cherished gaming memories during these festive times. Got any of your own?
Oddly enough, I play The Grinch on PS1 every December. One of the best licensed titles of the time.
I remember getting the original Legend of Zelda as a kid. First time I laid eyes on that gold beauty I was beside myself. Years later getting the SNES was a great memory too. I miss being a kid sometimes. I hope to envoke that nostalgia with my children.
I think I have only got a game system for Christmas twice and that was the Original Xbox and PSP 1000. Both were amazing when I got them back in the day. But I think my favorite console I ever got was for a birthday and that was the Nintendo 64 with Mario Kart 64, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and Army Men Sarge Heroes. But all of these were unexpected gifts that were so awesome opening up and being surprised. Also I have all of Nintendo and Sonys consoles and only the Original Xbox from Microsoft.
When i got my PS2 for Christmas, i wasnt expecting one due to low supply. Played Dynasty Warriors 2 all day!
Jacob K. over at TakuChat gives us a glimpse of the Spyro game we all want but will most likely never get.
I would love to see Spyro go back to its roots, I'd prefer a remake to start it off though.I love that game.
I keep seeing it in my games list on PS3 and find myself wanting to boot it up but then I never do. Should stop doing that. I rented it when it came out and beat it in two days. Some tired days at school that week.
I've been playing it on and off for the past few months, it is still dang fun.
THIS. PLEASE ACTIVISION. MAKE IT HAPPEN. They could work back with insomniac the same way they are with Bungie for Destiny. It'd be great!
I had so much fun with these games when they first released, then I had that fun all over again when I played them and beat all with my daughter on the PS3
I'd love a new one
i dont think activision will ever release a platformer without thinking about selling merchandises after the success of skylander.
They either continue rehashing their terrible success with Spyro/Skylanders, or let it die a quiet unceremonious death like Crash, instead of actually giving up the license, or making a proper game fans want.
I think if they wanted to they could sell off or license out these characters.
However, I think many people rather create their own.
Companies also like to keep Ip to keep as company assets. Probably worth a lot more on paper then license it out and risk tarnishing their asset price.
Also like to mention that sony was prpbably close to making a crash game. Not sure whose decision it was to change it to knack though. Could be sony. Could be activision. Or maybe they didnt even get that far and changed plans even before dealing with acticision
Try editing the link again!
This should be a 10/10!
