Remember the good old days running around collecting dragon eggs in Spyro: Year of the Dragon? Yeah, well don't get your hopes up because there are various parameters blocking Insomniac Games from remastering or rebooting the series.
Insomniac Games does not own the rights to the Spyro series.... Activision does. So legally, Insomniac Games cannot produce any games under the Spyro title without the approval of Activision. So why does'nt Activision let Insomniac produce new Spyro titles if they have no interest in renewing the games. Well... Insomniac is just as disinterested as Activision is. In a company statement CEO Ted Price said, "The Spyro series was pretty easy to leave behind". This is looking pretty grim for Spyro fans.
But Wait! There is hope!
Recently, Insomniac Games has shown major interest in virtual reality capabilities for their games. In my opinion, Spyro would be an excellent game to promote virtual reality and would not be that difficult to develop. Below is a model of what we might see if Insomniac does make Spyro a VR based gaming experience.
Although this is just a project designed by a college student, it looks pretty amazing. Imagine flying through this version of Artisan's Homeworld in VR searching for eggs and completing tasks. It would be amazing! Hopefully, we get a definite answer from Insomniac sometime soon. Leave some of your guys thoughts below, I'd like to hear what you guys have to say especially you Spyro fans.
