Activision: Guitar Hero May Be Dead, but Spyro is REBORN!!

[Gikoku]

That's really what he looks like.​

​

Yep, the iconic purple dragon from the 90s has been reborn, but it is unfortunately not by Insomniac (the devs responsible for the little guy's memorable adventures on the PS1), but instead by Activision. Activision, the same publishing company who --if you've been living under a rock-- has recently milked, raped, and piledriven to death the Guitar Hero franchise, DJ Hero franchise, and has issued the cancellation of the latest True Crime game, along with the termination of hundreds of employees who are now jobless.​

​

So now with the termination of 2 popular franchises and a possible 3rd, what's next on Activision's agenda? Why, to revive a 90s icon and brutally bludgeon him to death of course. Spyro the Dragon will be making his return to PC, handhelds, and consoles, but not without some new (and gimmicky) gameplay mechanics. In the newly titled game "Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure", players will be given the ability to collect real-life action figures (yes, in real-life) and place them into the game via the new Portal of Power mat. Each collectible toy will contain unlockable achievements and/or leveled up abilities for you to unlock and use in-game.​

​

Each character will have their own elemental abilities that will unlock unique experiences in-game, and players will be able to use their collected toys to play cooperatively and competitively. It should be naturally expected that the collectible action figures will run for an extra fee.​

R.I.P Guitar Hero, a great game to pass the time with friends, and welcome back Spyro! Although you dont look like you did before we know youre in good hands /sarcasm.

Thank you.

Perhaps, it's no secret that I can't stomach the ways of Activision and having to watch as they massacre franchise after franchise for that orgasmic aroma of cash money.

The only real Spyros were the first three.

Activision are scouting for old franchises to run into the ground and hoping people have forgotten about and also trying to acquire other large franchises off other developers (Take Two are rumoured). As they need a way to make the cash back that the guitar hero franchise would have generated through DLC.

Spyro was the first game Jessica ever played with some success on the PSOne. This new abomination saddens me greatly...

Has Spyro got Rabies? He could use a jab.
