WHY ACTIVISION!? wHAT THE FREAKING HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO SPYRO!! WHAT THE HELL DID HE EVER DO TO YOU!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! I- I CAN'T GO ON! wHY CRUEL WORLD!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?

Wait, wait, *Breaths" Crash hasn't been completely killed yet. I CAN LIVE!

Well Spyro, after a horrible reboot i never thought I would see THIS. I now can officially announce the death of Spyro. From the looks of it, there is nothing hey can do to kill him anymore. He is gone. But Crash is starting to look like his older self as sen in his Ipod games but Spyro, you had some good games. But I am afraid this is the end. *Sniff.* In the meantime, Insomniac still has Ratchet and Clank to play.

Did they punch your avatar square in the snout and call it a day for the redesign?

I think they threw him in a trash compactor, then tried to put the pieces together.

He looks like a fucking brat.
Not something I'd want to look at for a few hours.

I bet he is snarky too.

I don't see the horrible. Except maybe for the weird skin-texture.

I'll admit the design could be better-- however if this, say, happened before Gnasty Gnort... It would look fitting. Spyro was a slacker, trouble-maker brat when he was a kid dragon; before he was thrust into the hero role.

Dude it really looks like a baby Spyro. Notice there's no Sparx either?

Looks like his evil twin I'd say. You know, more evil-ish... or something.
Also, why the horrible textures?

My childhood was Crash, Spyro, FF8 and shitty vegemite sandwiches. It definitely was already ruined.

They attempted to make realistic looking scales, but failed due to the unrealistic mesh...

It looks like a Tell Tale Games game. Is this for wii or what? Why such a shitty model? Even that reboot series had better models.

EDIT: just read the main article.

It doesn't sound like a Spyro reboot. It's a Sonic-style cash grab. You put a collectable toy on a portal to import the toy into the game to be controllable. From the other character design it seems prettttty clear that this is a concept game: they probably acquired Spyro after the idea was rolling and redesigned him to fit their stupid ugly style. It's even only subtitled as a Spyro game... That is sad. Poor dragon is turning tricks for a buck now, changing pimps as he gets older:
