Not a huge fan of Crash but Id love to see it go back to sony. Activision has pretty much destroyed Crash. And knowing sony if they gave it to the right developer it could end up being a pretty good game that id buy.

Though it seems that it is still activision from the article -_- Well maybe sony and Activision and sony will partner up or something.

Yeah, look at what they did to Spyro.

What, you mean used him to create a multi billion dollar franchise?

That's great for Activision, but Spyro fans want a proper Spyro sequel, not Skylanders. 

In todays market a Spyro The Dragon game will flip big time.

Who will play a game similar to Mario or Banjo with a Dragon? It just won't work. Spyro single play gaming is done.

Yes, it'll flop if they give it a AAA budget and expect it to sell several million copies.  Every type of game can suceed if realistic expectations are put into context and an appropriate budget is set relative to those expectations.  There are plenty of platforming games made by Indie studios that have done very well financially (ie, Spelunky, Guacamelee, etc) without having to sell millions of copies.  There's no reason why a game like Spyro can't work if given to the right studio and Activision is realistic with its sales forecast.  That's why a game like RE6, that sold 5+ million copies, was viewed as a disappointment financially because Capcom forcasted it to sell 7 million copies.  Meanwhile, P4G was a financially hit for Atlus as it far exceeded the studio's expectations of 500K copies sold.  

Spyro as a franchise is not worth the investment, especially at this point in time. It is just a waste of money.

 

You might disagree, that is fine, but this just how I feel. Spyro, alone, as a franchise is dead.
