Spyro the GC: A Baffling Turn of Events

Sony Computer Entertainment and Insomniac Games are the masterminds behind hours of gaming pleasure, but when it comes to Spyro the Dragon, it's hard not to feel a sense of sacrilege. The fact that Insomniac wasn't involved in developing this game is jarring, especially considering how many times the franchise has changed hands since then.

Spyro the Dragon is an iconic character in the world of gaming, bursting onto the scene in 1998 with Insomniac Games' creation of the excitable and eager purple dragon, Spyro, and his trusty sidekick Sparx. However, this particular iteration of the game left much to be desired.

The voice acting was atrocious, the character models looked like they were created by a child having a temper tantrum, and the entire game felt like it was only made to say 'hey, we have Spyro now!' Filled with glitches that would put No Man's Sky on launch day to shame, this game was barely playable.

The timeline of events surrounding Spyro's development is also confusing. It doesn't make sense for a cash cow like Spyro to simply fade away, so the purchase by Universal makes sense. However, it's clear that something went awry during the transition process.

Despite its flaws, Spyro still holds a special place in many gamers' hearts. The franchise helped establish Insomniac as a major player in the gaming industry and cemented the PS1 as a legitimate contender in the market dominated by Nintendo and Sega for 10 years. With three excellent games on the PS1 in the late 1990s, Spyro became an early icon for kids of this generation.

Unfortunately, this unplayable game is the result of the purple dragon's license being sold to Universal in 2000 and a new team working from scratch. For those who have played it, I'm sure it's a painful memory. As my friend's little brother can attest, it's even possible for a game to be so bad that it makes you cry.

In conclusion, Spyro the GC is a baffling turn of events in the history of this beloved character. Despite its many flaws, Spyro remains an iconic figure in the world of gaming, and fans continue to hold out hope for a return to form.
