The continuous Spyro rape

Honestly, I don't mind it that much, but it is interesting to see how many companies tried to take over this Playstation 1-dragon and give him a ridiculous makeover, suggesting the first Spyro isn't cool enough for today's audience.

The original creators of this purple anti-hero, Insomniac, ditched their famous could-be-mascot, because they had money problems and believed they couldn't add any more attacks/moves to this particular character, who walked on four legs, so were afraid that the future games would end up being exactly the same. I understand what they were trying to say, as every one of their games did focus on giving the gamer something new, but I'm just asking; what kind of justice all those crappy remakes do to Spyro. Insomniac's name isn't on them, their name is clean, but the new generation isn't getting a very positive view on their dragon because of these games.
Though, I'll give the "Legend" series credit, it was an interesting remake. Sparx was annoying and unfunny like Hell, but what can you do. Maybe exclude him from the next game, since he has no purpose anymore? Spyro grew up and has a life bar now, Sparx, find yourself another job.

Now a new Spyro game is being made, big surprise, and this looks like a big step down again. The design doesn't bother me so much, as I kinda like Spyro the bulldog, but the overdose of new, uninteresting characters do. So far I understood by watching the game trailer, Spyro isn't even an important element in the game. He is just one of the many lame characters you can choose from. Not only that, but you actually have to "buy" a character, in toy-form, in order to play as it.
What a concept. It would've been interesting if it wasn't such an obvious attempt to rob people.

Though, what I've read right now shocks me ever more: the creators actually recieved death threats from fans. The thought that people threaten to kill someone, just in the hope that a game doesn't get published, is insane. Go outside and have a life, you poor idiots.
Though Activision's claim that their target audience is "young children who never even heard of Spyro" and not Spyro fans is equally insane. You're using an existing, well-known video game character. Just admit it, your game was supposed to attract the fans, but right after you were told to jab a knife in your head, this was the only come-back you could come up with. It's not a shabby come-back, but if your goal really is to introduce young children to the dragon, redirect them to the old Spyro games. Not to this uninspired shit.

Sometimes it's hard to determine what these companies want with the lizard, but it's clear that no one wants to keep his character true to the original's. Same goes for the gameplay and plot. I believe "Enter the Dragonfly" was the only game that tried to be like the original games. Too bad it was too boring and too short for anyone to enjoy.
