http://www.ausgamers.com/images/features/spyro.jpg More from Vivendi - a new Spyro title is in the works:

In the final chapter of the trilogy, players find Sypro teaming up with an unlikely ally - Cynder, his former enemy, to face his most challenging mission to date. As the Dark Master’s (voiced by Mark Hamill) evil envelopes the world like a plague, Spyro must fulfill his destiny and unlock the true power of the purple dragon within him to stop the Dark Master in his tracks.

The game introduces two never before seen elements into the Spyro universe: Spyro can now fly at any time and players can drop-in/drop-out with the new cooperative feature. The co-op feature allows players to have the option of completing the game as either Spyro or Cynder, giving them more freedom to explore Spyro’s world in completely new ways.

The press release has more information, and we've got a swag of screenshots as well.

HAY GUYS LETS PUT BLOOM ON EVRYTHING IT'LL LOOK SWEET AS.

puff the plastic dragon?

don't do it... you can never catch the dragon ;D

Reprising their roles as the characters of Spyro and his mentor Ignitus, are two popular Hollywood leading men, Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Gary Oldman (Sirius Black from the Harry Potter films). Joining the Spyro roster this year are Christina Ricci, Blair Underwood, Mark Hamill and Wayne Brady, rounding out an all-star voice cast.

That must be like 90% of their budget right there.

See, those shots look quite good @ 100x100, then you open them up and theyre smothered with bloom, have lower than image res rendering and not that many polys. And why do PC game screenshots never have AA applied? (even 2x or something) Surely they can afford decent cards that can do AA when making single frame shots. meh

Woot for thumbnails.
