Darkest Hour Countdown?!

RadSpyro · Apr 28, 2008 12:10 PM

Less than 5 minutes! I'll go insane if all it says after the countdown is 'Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon coming soon!' with a load of info we already know about -_-

jeku · Apr 28, 2008 12:13 PM

1 minute 30 seconds!!!

jeku · Apr 28, 2008 12:14 PM

less than 1 minute!!

RadSpyro · Apr 28, 2008 12:18 PM

It's finished, but nothing else is loading for me. D:

Dark Fury Dragon · Apr 28, 2008 12:21 PM

OMG Same here RadSpyro...all I see is an empty dountdown! D: What's up Spyro website?!?!?!

jeku · Apr 28, 2008 12:23 PM

OMG!!! before it went to zero i got hundreds of pop-ups!! and then my web browser crashed!!! but now i see nothing different...

Epesi · Apr 28, 2008 12:23 PM

Bah...I watched it hit zero, the numbers flashed, and then it jumped back ten minutes.

It's almost at zero again, but I'm not so sure anything will happen this time either. With my luck, it'll happen five minutes after I fall asleep. tongue

Dark Fury Dragon · Apr 28, 2008 12:24 PM

Maybe the people in charge are currently preparing it for when the real traffic comes? Or maybe they're making some last minute adjustments, like the little scroll in Spyro's Lair meaning that they're putting in updated info on the third game?

spyrogirl39 · Apr 28, 2008 12:29 PM

Mine kept on repeating itself, I mean whenever it reaches to zero, it keeps on going back to ten minutes.

jeku · Apr 28, 2008 12:30 PM

that was strange...hundreds of pop-ups and then....nothing....weird hmm

RadSpyro · Apr 28, 2008 12:31 PM

Mine's not even jumping back - It's literally just that image staring back at me. Maybe they have technical faults? Well anyway, I'll keep an eye on this topic in case someone gets a change. If I find anything, I'll also let everyone know (Though I doubt I'd find anything).

spyrogirl39 · Apr 28, 2008 12:34 PM

Well I'll check it tomorrow morning before I go to school. Well I'm going to bed now ,goodnight everyone.

Dark Fury Dragon · Apr 28, 2008 12:36 PM

I'm still going to be checking every now and then. There's no way I'm gonna let this one slip! XD

Aura24 · Apr 28, 2008 12:38 PM

Me too! I'll probably be one of the many people who gets to see the site.

"SPYRO THE DRAGONÂ® CONTINUES HIS EPIC ADVENTURE THIS FALL IN THE LEGEND OF SPYROâ„¢: DAWN OF THE DRAGON
Spyro Trilogy Culminates with Premiere on Xbox 360Â® and PlayStationÂ®3 system; Elijah Wood, Gary Oldman, Christina Ricci, Blair Underwood, Wayne Brady and Mark Hamill Provide Voice-Over Performances

Los Angeles, CA - April 28, 2008 - Sierra Entertainment today announced The Legend of Spyroâ„¢: Dawn of the Dragon, the third chapter in the popular Legend of Spyro trilogy. Developed by Etranges Libellules, the game will be released this Fall for the Xbox 360Â® video game and entertainment system, PlayStationÂ®3 computer entertainment system, Wiiâ„¢ Console home video game system, PlayStationÂ®2 computer entertainment system and Nintendo DSâ„¢. Reprising their roles as the characters of Spyro and his mentor Ignitus, are two popular Hollywood leading men, Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Gary Oldman (Sirius Black from the Harry Potter films). Joining the Spyro roster this year are Christina Ricci, Blair Underwood, Mark Hamill and Wayne Brady, rounding out an all-star voice cast.

In the final chapter of the trilogy, players find Spyro teaming up with an unlikely ally - Cynder, his former enemy, to face his most challenging mission to date. As the Dark Master's (voiced by Mark Hamill) evil envelopes the world like a plague, Spyro must fulfill his destiny and unlock the true power of the purple dragon within him to stop the Dark Master in his tracks.

The game introduces two never before seen elements into the Spyro universe: Spyro can now fly at any time and players can drop-in/drop-out with the new cooperative feature. The co-op feature allows players to have the option of completing the game as either Spyro or Cynder, giving them more freedom to explore Spyroâ€™s world in completely new ways.

"Spyro has grown up a lot since his debut, and players are going to notice advanced gameplay, character design and story lines in Dawn of the Dragon," said Al Simone, senior vice president, Global Marketing for Sierra Entertainment. "The game takes some exciting twists and turns - fans of the series and newcomers alike will experience non-stop fun, a renewed sense of intensity and the type of challenging adventure only Spyro can overcome."

Developed by Etranges Libellules, The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon will ship this Fall for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system, Wii Console, PlayStation 2 system and Nintendo DS. Vivendi Games Mobile is also making The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon available for mobile phones throughout Europe and North America."

YES.
You have no idea how thrilled I am that they finally grew the little booger up. This screenshot alone has just made my day.

Sure he might be a little on the puff-chested side, but hey, I can play as a freakin' flying dragon. I've been wanting a game like this from Spyro for ages. XD

Only thing is, they overdid the white light on the edges of their models. Hopefully they'll fix that; people developing for the next-gen consoles seem to think 'brighter is better', when that's not the case at all... Lair's environments suffered from that problem. No biggie! I'm happy.

Dark Fury Dragon · Apr 28, 2008 1:26 PM

OMG I GOT THE SPYRO SITE WORKING! I CAN SEE THE DAWN OF THE DRAGON SITE!!!!! big_smile !!!!!!!!!!!! ZOMG CONCEPT ART IS AMAZING! IT LOOKS LIKE A FREAKIN MOVIE!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, same. I guess keep trying, I've been refreshing a bit to see if that'll do anything.

... I'm still glad he's finally grown into his giant skull. XD Don't get me wrong he was adorable before, or at least mostly in the PS1 days ('cause through the first two games in the new series he reminded me a bit of an ugly duckling with scales - but I DID like his character model with all the extra spiky dragony things), but it's refreshing to see him with a fairly proportionate body for the first time.
And FREE FLIGHT.
*Girly squeal*

Kat · Apr 28, 2008 1:52 PM

Oh, okay. THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS *Bolts off to look*
I love friendly helpful people. It's a pity I'm not usually one of them, gyah. XD

Ooooo, gorgeous concept art. I'm so hyped for flying around doing whatever - I wonder if you can set fire to all the grass...
