Forums - Gaming - Now that Insomniac are with EA , can they acquire Spyro back??

i sure hope so, since Activision ruined the game so so much..... it became from a great(est) platformer to a hack and slash for retards.

They have a publishing deal with EA, they are still independent. I doubt EA would buy Spyro to stop Activision from further ruining it

Wow, I cant believe they did that, such a shame

I go away for a vacation and I come back and everything is all crazy. Next thing you know, someone's going to tell me that Bungie signed a deal with Activision

I really really hope they do. I want this series to return to its former glory days of the PS1

P.S: I thought Sierra basterdized the series or do Activision own them or something?

Not really, because nobody loses in a scenario like this. If they stopped making Sony exclusives altogether, I'd say otherwise. But with a new IP and Sony continuing to reap the benefits of exclusivity, nobody really loses here

Coming from one of the strongest advocates for exclusive games, I am quite surprised to hear you say that.   I know that Sony owns their 2 biggest IPs but why not this one.   Sure its only  publishing deal with EA Games but I cant imagine Sony wouldnt have published this game if given the opportunity.  Im just not happy about this,  I will still continue to buy there games because they are fantastic games,  but I ont think it is a smart move at all.

This. As an expert in American culture, I can tell you now that Insomniac is finished.

Well because in a situation like this, Sony still gets the game, their own exclusive games, and maybe even new IPs. If they lost any exclusivity, yes, I'd be the attack dog at the gates. But it isn't like this new IP was ever announced exclusive, so there's no losers here, really.

True,  but I cant help but think that there was a strong possibilty of it being exclusive.    But not anymore now with this deal they have.

somebody didnt read the article. INSOMNIAC just signed a deal with EA that its there still idependant + somebody owns spyro, so unless they give it up it wont happen. unless by merger you just cant take IP's from ppl
