Actually, Aura has a point. I forgot where I found this but I'll look it up again. It was a very good rumor that a game site had. I think it was GameSpot. Anyways, Insomniac surprisingly might still have rights to it. Which was the reason Activision didn't base it off the originals. Insomniac denied them the rights to Avalar, Elora, the original Dragon Realms as well as Gnasty Gnorc, Rhynocs, the Sorceress and Ripto. Thats supposedly why Activision made it differently. The game site did not understand why but they had some good facts about it. I read it when they began the legend of Spyro series and the sight said that was one of the reasons for the change. Also, Sony owns the classic three. Even if its redone it would only be for their console. I'm not trying to start a rumor or a fight. I will look for evidence tomorrow.

I think you're on to something. Remember way back when when Activision was questioned about Dotd sequels, and they responded by saying the triology was over, but they plan to still make future games? I remember reading somewhere that they plan to have the new game "go in another direction", but why make another reboot? It's possible that maybe, just maybe, the next game will go back to Insomniac. Also, about the whole "A hero's tail using Avalar" thing, true, but notice how there were no rhynocs, riptocs, or even Ripto himself for that matter. The only point to argue against this is their use of Gnasty Gnorc...but even then, it was only for a boss so it's possible they smoozed Insomniac to let up a bit. Harpuia, be sure to tell us if you find any more info. I'll start researching, too.

Only the second game was in Avalar. 1 and 3 were in the Dragon Realms.

And the people of Insomniac keeping the rights to Elora, may possibly be the reason why we haven't seen Elora in the other Spyro games, except Ripto's Rage and YotD.

Found the post with the "new direction" statement. It was in an email explaining why the movie was cancelled;

Anyway think the new direction is going back to the old games? That may also explain why the movie was cancelled...maybe it'd be weird to have a game with "old spyro" and a movie with "new spyro".

Yeah, most of us already knew that I screenshoted the proof. Since I posted it along with the Movie cancellation topic. We don't know what different direction they'll take Spyro.

I must be the only one wanting Spyro to have a little brother...(AKA TLOS SPYRO)
