To whom it may concern,
Recently, I've discovered that the love for classic Spyro is overwhelming. I personally know many folks, myself included, are upset by the new direction the IP has taken with Skylanders. I am well aware of the fact that a brand new, modern Spyro is highly unlikely, given the direction the series is taking. However, there is a very strong following that desires a HD remake of older Spyro games. Given the lower cost of developing a HD collection as opposed to a full new game, along with the near-guaranteed sales that would be provided by fans of the older titles, this could not only sate the fans but also be a very profitable venture. Ideally, this HD collection would include the following titles:
- Spyro the Dragon
- Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
- Spyro: Year of the Dragon
The first three titles in the Spyro series, all developed by Insomniac, are widely regarded as the best games the series has to offer. The first two titles both average a 86.6% on Game Rankings, while the third title averages a 90.6% on Game Rankings and a 91% on Metacritic. According to VGChartz, these three titles have sold a cumulative total of 12.23M units globally. Only counting fans who have played the titles previously, this could indicate as many as 4M units sold! This doesn't even take into consideration the fact that there will be people in the younger generation who may have not even played these classics titles in the past, bringing new Spyro fans to the series.
With that said, I've made this petition in hopes of adding some solid evidence to my numbers. I truly hope this is given strong consideration, and hopefully the Spyro HD Collection will see the light of day.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Shawn Batey

The demand for a remaster is louder than ever. I am currently organizing the best way to get these numbers directly in front of the right people at Activision.

i really hope that this comes true! Sky landers completely smashed one of the top favorite videogames of my childhood. I would love to see what they can do with some new Spyro games
I have recently replayed these games and would love to see a modern update to them.
I would love an HD original spyro trilogy on PS4. Spyro was the game that defined my childhood and o would love to experience it again!
Long have I dreamed of this becoming a reality. I am a HUGE fan of the first three games and would absolutely love to see a return to the Dragon Realms.
Plz bring these games back on the PS3 & PS4 they are classics that deserve to be played by everybody especially Year Of The Dragon which was never released in Japan
I want a remake
We simply need this. It is a must have,

I grew up playing the Spyro series. It was one of my favorite games growing up as a kid. Kingdom hearts was also another game I enjoyed. I would watch my sister as she played through the games. Then I heard of the HD remake for the games, and my sister and I were ecstatic. Dawn of the Dragon left everyone craving for another game in the saga. I own 3 of the skylanders series, and frankly, I was very disappointed when I saw what had been done with the series. Then there was the movie that was supposed to come out for it, I had hopes it would possibly lead to a new game, but it was canceled. So its near certain, the spyro series is finished, and I pray it will never be forgotten, but an HD remake of the titles would help keep them alive.
