The film was either a hoax to begin with or the producers saw how much of a disappointment the current games are and figured a movie based on LOS would bomb just as hard and trashed the idea. I'm pretty sure the movie ISN'T going to happen (anytime soon, at least).

I, for one, am somewhat relieved about that. I know alot of you are too young to remember or just never actually played the old games until AFTER you played LOS, but the Spyro I was raised on completely died after Insomniac stopped making them

Yeah, I'm sounding like a old nostalgia dork and you guys can delete this post if you want, but a MOVIE based on LOS would mark the end of the line for me and make me ignore and despise anything Spyro related after that. It's exactly the same thing that happened to Sonic the Hedgehog, but that's a rant for another day.

hahaha
yeah my interest got a little killed after Insomniac stopped making them, I've been playing this thing since I was three years old
The newer games are OK but they can't match up the first ones.

My interest in the Spyro games literally died and I left to play a MMORPG called Dark Age of Camelot. Eventually it did respark, but I still enjoy the old games one better than the new ones.

Saying they are OK is just... Ugh. They are alright if you never seen the purple loveable dragon... The people who love the purple cute dragon dislike the new games. No speedways, ugh you just repeat a beat-em-up game over and over. The game is OK if you play through it ONCE. After that it is just plain boring.

Aicebo · Dec 17, 2009 5:14 PM

Maybe that's why it's OK to me; I've never played any of them a second time. XD.
Enter the Dragonfly and A Hero's Tail were better than TLOS.

The only reason I really like the NEWEST games are because I like editing with the cutscenes.

Wyndon_Torque · Dec 17, 2009 5:19 PM

Admittedly, yes. There are some pretty epic and memorable moments in LOS, but I'd really much rather see a movie about the cute li'l purple guy and all his wacky friends runnin' around the psychadelic castles and stuff. Not another dime-a-dozen CGI flick composed almost entirely of cutscenes.

Thank you, what they should do is make a movie about classic Spyro and not Enter the Dragonfly onward, but the old Insomniac games. Those were the days.

I remember when I was younger I always thought it'd be cool if there was a TV series and he went into a new portal/world each time.

Wyndon_Torque · Dec 17, 2009 5:48 PM

The only upside I can see to a movie based on LOS is merchendise because I NEED more dragons and plushies littered throughout my room.

Apoc · Dec 17, 2009 5:50 PM

That would've been cool, to have a Spyro TV series. They did it with Earthworm Jim and he was awesome.

Wyndon_Torque · Dec 17, 2009 5:51 PM

That show was epic! Oh god. I feel old.

its not even close to april yet so why are you saying its a hoax/they stopped making it (because apparently the people making the movie agree with your opinion on the LoS series). maybe they wont end up making the movie but thats hard to say at this point. I for one actually want to see this movie. it would be nice if they actually made it so the ones who really want to see can see it. if you think its stupid and you dont want to see it then ignore it. im still not giving up hope for the sake of dragonkin

Wyndon_Torque · Dec 17, 2009 8:48 PM

Oh, there are SO many comments to be made in return to that, but I really don't want to get banned from this community so I'm just gonna shut up :3

Wyndon_Torque · Dec 17, 2009 9:11 PM

O:) O:) O:)

I'm just being a saint as usual, Rurik :3

so, to avoid the risk of off-topicness, what do you think of the idea of a spyro movie?

I personally don't think it's gonna happen what with the release date being pushed back... what was it... three times now? You'd think we'd have gotten at least a LITTLE new news since the poster and story on IMBD and Velvet Octopus, but there's been none. Unless they're keeping it really secret, but what would they gain from doing that?

SapphireSheep · Dec 17, 2009 9:21 PM

a movie like this I don't expect to hear much anyway. especially since I heard a long while back that it's not even going to be in theaters. and I only heard of it being pushed back once and that was into april.

Wyndon_Torque · Dec 18, 2009 12:04 AM

Well, the best I can hope for is the DVD being reasonably priced and maybe some good merchandise.

ixr · Dec 18, 2009 12:10 AM

Do you know how hard it is just to find and talk to who owns spyro....
Seriously though trying to find a developer too. It's not easy
Eh. I'm tryin to talk to someone about another spyro game and someone to develop it.
But i dont think this movies happining either

random · Dec 18, 2009 1:36 AM

heywhat about the people that would actualy like to see this movie like me dang it. You can't just say that the movie wony make it and that will be the end of it consider the people that actualy want to see this movie if you don't want to see this movie keep it to yourself I've played all the PS1 spyro games and liked them but still Iengoyed the legend ofspyro trilogy none the less and in my opinion they are both equel in popularity.

PYROX · Dec 18, 2009 1:47 PM

So many 'famous' game characters changed..
Crash, Sonic, Spyro, Rayman, etc. Is Mario the only one who didn't change (So much)??
anyways, it's December guys..And the only media we still have is the cast, creators, etc, and a poster. I wonder. hmm

Wyndon_Torque · Dec 18, 2009 8:15 PM

Yeah. and 3D rendering a still image is easy if for an artist with the proper tools.

SapphireSheep · Dec 19, 2009 2:03 AM

well I don't see why this forum would say it's official if they weren't sure if it was legit. thats what gets me =/

Wyndon_Torque · Dec 19, 2009 9:38 AM

Thats the thing. A poster and a bit of information on IMB can fool people into thinking it's legit, but after a whole year since the information was released you'd think we'd have a bit more news. Anyone know who first found the poster, anyway?

Apoc · Dec 19, 2009 4:53 PM

Who made Eragon again? I don't remember

So if someone has a different opinion than you about the movie, they should just "keep it to themselves"? No one is saying you can't be excited about the movie; they have just as much of a right to their opinions about it as you do.

I for one totally agree with Wyndon_Torque here. If this movie is real, I won't be seeing it unless they either make some changes from the LoS storyline or they make it ridiculously cheap so I can sit there and snark at it without wasting my money. tongue
