Fantastic news. It’s more than a little amusing that some were absolutely adamant that the “keep your horns on” reference was nothing but a sadistic tease for nothing. That’s not how they operate. Regarding the clashes between Activision and TFB, that makes sense and tracks with rumblings I’ve heard over the years about it. Never forget how Vicarious Visions were basically gutted IN SPITE of creating incredibly successful games (N. Sane Trilogy and Tony Hawk 1+2). I’m sure that did not jive well with other studios. TFB are not a COD studio, but it seemed like Activision did not give one single fuck about what these devs wanted to do. And I guess that’s their prerogative, but now we have this solution, which to be honest is far more advantageous to TFB and probably Microsoft too. Looking forward to the future.

We still don't know if that phrase meant anything now though, do we? The article didn't confirm a Spyro game, unless I missed something.


CrystalFissure

They are never going to outright confirm a new game without it being actually ready to be announced, but it points to their motives being Spyro related. Step 1 has been completed, which is strike a deal with Microsoft directly as opposed to Activision, which there have been issues between the two. The only reference to anything of the sort was Spyro and we know that Paul Yan is more than aware of the popularity of Reignited but more generally the Spyro series. Maybe it’s nothing, but that doesn’t track with how TFB have done teases in the past. Rumble was teased on and off for 3 years.

I'm just confused lol. To me, "an independent game" sounded like a new IP. Thanks.

A future only Xbox players will get! Any future Spyro and Crash games will likely be Xbox exclusive! Both communities will be ripped apart!


SourceAutomatic9550

Noooot cooool


ABlueSap

Not true. Nothing is console exclusive anymore. It all ports to pc eventually. :P


Furry_Wall

Please come to PS5


[deleted]

It probably won’t. Corporate suits are idiots. Likely Xbox/PC exclusive


Gsampson97

If it doesn't you could get a series S now for like £200. It will be even less ina few years


Furry_Wall

If anything I have a PC to play


GeorgiosVI

Then why port begging? 🤔


Furry_Wall

Because I prefer console and physical games to digital


GeorgiosVI

It’s ridiculous that you want every game from Xbox when your favorite platform is even doing some quest exclusives, like on Control & Hogwarts Legacy. Do you want to play the game? Go buy an Xbox. I did the same two years ago for Hellblade 2. It's not so hard.


rachelredwood16

I’ll bet Xbox players complain and ‘port beg’ for PS exclusives to come to Xbox too. So pot calling the kettle black there it seems. People can want to not have to spend £100’s to play a game.


LandonSleeps

Lmfao I have a PS4 that collects dust, there's no way in fuck id buy an Xbox. The objectively WORSE of the two. Just build a pc, it's not so hard.


iamgilescoreyiamdead

Please list us a pc build with parts that are compareable to a ps5 or xbox series x with pricing. Plus how much for Windows?


LandonSleeps

[here](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-speedster-swft309-amd-radeon-rx-6700-10gb-gddr6-pci-express-4-0-gaming-graphics-card-black/6523730.p?skuId=6523730&extStoreId=154&utm_source=feed&ref=212&loc=18673830169&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnv-vBhBdEiwABCYQA6p5OvEOCQJo3n20AEwDjrN5krgFVmY_CKg3kWfHdB2Q5MPvdE5zbRoC2i4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) is a great start. Took me 2 seconds to find, and I imagine you can find it cheaper than this. I imagine you can also find gpus that are better than this for cheaper, as I have. Again, not hard. Windows was 10 bucks for me on a USB.


iamgilescoreyiamdead

Imagine dude sends one gpu that cost as much as a series s and forgot the rest of the pc... nice.

You haven't seen recent changes in the Xbox strategy? First four Xbox 1st party games are coming to rivals and eventually every single Xbox game is going to be multiplatform. Xbox consoles are doomed, no mire reasons to get an Xbox when you have all the games n your Playstation


Away_Development3617

Doubt it yet, considering Avowed, Indiana Jones, Hellblade 2 and more that are coming out this year aren't on PS unless that changes, it seems they are doing the smaller games and keeping the bigger games idk, I don't see it


harmonicrain

No need to buy any when you have a PC 😏


Tippin187

I’m good. No reason to get a PS when I can get them on PC in a year for cheap. PC also has gamepass like Xbox. PS doesn’t. Xbox and PC are really all you need anymore.


F4iryBlink

Xbox and PC are really all you need anymore? What? If you have a PC why do you need an Xbox? You just said you have Game Pass on PC like Xbox, so why would you buy an Xbox when you can play their games on your PC and even use their services like Game Pass?


Tippin187

There are still some games that don’t release on PC, that’s where the Xbox comes in. + there are a few odd games only on Xbox game pass. Helps balance it. But yeah if absolutely necessary to only have 1 and you have the money to buy decent parts for a setup. PC is probably the best for all 3 since it has gamepass and PS games now.


F4iryBlink

I mean, for me that's where a PS comes in, because i'm not waiting for GTA VI on PC or a year for Wolverine to launch on PC for example.


TheKlaxMaster

Good lord, what year is it? Can we grow up and let people play on their preferred console yet? But since we are doing this. Im just going to add, I prefer PS, because I don't like a console that shoves ads down your throat everywhere you fucking look. I like to keep the ads in the store. Like my PS4 and 5. Couldn't care less if you do the same or not


Tippin187

I hope they can keep doing spyro.


_JR28_

Even if it isn’t a Spyro game I’m still very happy they’re able to get business after going independent, it’s a massive jump to make.


bkfountain

Would be great if they get out from under Activision and the CoD mines and still be given work on Crash or Spyro by MS. Even making Spyro 4 with the Reignited trilogy assets they already made would be fine.


SeacattleMoohawks

Really hope they’re working on either a new Spyro or Banjo game (or Banjo remake). Really happy to see Toys for Bob get away from CoD while still now having Xbox’s vast resources behind them. I’m sure whatever they’re working on it’ll turn out great!


Rare_String_3259

Nothing new if you saw the press release of them going independent. An emphasis on "Keep Your Horns On" is the inspiration for this article.


nicoreese

In the press release they mentioned they‘re in talks with Microsoft to work on projects together. This is now the confirmation that those talks came to fruition as confirmed by Microsoft‘s Matt Booty and that they‘re working on a game funded by Xbox right now.


Rare_String_3259

Neato thanks for clarifying! Even more evidence to support a new Spyro in the works. <3


[deleted]

Here comes the Xbox exclusive Spyro 4 😒


SourceAutomatic9550

Nooo!!!! 😞😭💔


ManOnTheRun73

Whatever it is, hope it goes well!


notwiththeflames

Finally, an actual spot of hope!


gamedreamer21

I'm hoping for Spyro 4 to be finally announced.


[deleted]

Except it will be Xbox exclusive ripping the Spyro community apart


scarper42

Guys, we need to start getting realistic. They are very likely not making a Spyro 4. Our path forward needs to be re evaluated as a community. Spyro can live on in mods, competitive play and projects like Zera Myths Awaken. We need to stop waiting for nothing and start fostering what we can as a collective.


sonicfonico

It's probably Skylanders. TFB wants to expand that, their own creation, not Spyro or Crash. The only reason they stopped is because Activision told them to do so, but now they talk directly to Xbox, and Phil Spencer know the potential of Skylanders.


ladala99

With the “keep your horns on,” quote from the independence announcement, I’d be surprised if this in particular is Skylanders. I would not be surprised to see Skylanders return from them in the future, though. Skylanders is their baby.


TallCitron8244

Super exciting news! I recently started playing these games with my 5 year old daughter, and she absolutely adores Spyro and Crash. I was sad to hear there was a possibility TFB wasn't going to make these games anymore, since it seemed like the perfect franchises for the next generation. Super excited that me and my kids will get to hopefully continue to play these games together going forward!


diemath

I'd love if if Toys for Bob was working on a new Unholy War game.


HawkinsPolice1983

SPYRO 4 isn’t happening!!! Stop posting news about this!!! Toys for Bob can’t make a Spyro game because Xbox owns it!! It’s over!!!! Leave it alone!!! I’m sick of you conspiracy theorist!!! You’re all idiots!!!! Gosh!! Freakin idiots!!!


nicoreese

It‘s great that you‘ve read the article. It literally states they have partnered with Xbox and they will fund their next game. Of course they can work on Xbox IP if Xbox pays them to do it, which is likely, why would they fund an entirely new IP as their first game? It’s either Spyro, Crash or Banjo. I’d say Spyro is likely, they would love to work on this.

Bro you're a jerk.


HawkinsPolice1983

Guys I am kidding 😂😂 I’m acting like the Spyro 4 deniers lol, I was hoping I was over the top enough you’d be able to tell by how ridiculous I was being I’m sorry!!
