I’ve played and almost 100% the Spyro trilogy when it came out. The games were lovely and (aside from the gorgeous remade graphics) the gameplay has aged really well.
I’ve never cared that much for Crash Bandicoot but I would love a new Spyro sequel.
Not again.
Just when I was hoping to see some fan games start popping up, we’re gonna get Spyro 4: It’s about Slime or whatever. And they’ll probably lock it behind their stupid blizzard launcher and it will be console exclusive before it makes it to pc etc. etc.
I’m done. I loved Spyro, but it’s time to let a dead franchise rest in peace.
Hopefully Microsoft will give it a more open release. I doubt it, but it would be nice.
It’s about slime lol
I love how every article mentioning a game/IP owned by Activision has to say that ‘now that Microsoft owns BAK, the game may be an Xbox exclusive. Ragebait journalism at it best.
I wonder what they could do to breath new fire into it (har). It is a fun trilogy to play, for sure, but it also feels like playing a game of its time.
I really miss games like this though. The last time I felt the bridge between games like Spyro and “modern” times (I’m old) was Kameo. Kameo was such a gem and felt like I was playing a newer Spyro, Medievil, or Banjo game.
While we’re on the subject, where the heck is Conker?

Have you tried A Hat in Time? It really gave me the feeling of a really polished, modern PS2 game. It’s a ton of fun.
To me, aHiT always felt like Sunshine 2: No FLUDD. Hat Kid controls just like Mario without the fancy flips
Have you tried psvr? The astrobot on the first one is amazing.
Sadly I haven’t! I have a Vive but it isn’t on there. You got me watching a video and it looks like a lot of fun to!
Except for the Switch, I haven’t owned a console since the 360. I kind of went hard into PC by accident.
Oh yeah, Spyro, my favorite Xbox character. Right next to Crash Bandicoot and Banjo Kazooie.
Please, don’t give me hope.

There’s a comment on the article jokingly referring to a Parappa the Rapper tease. Now there’s a game I’d love.

I would love a remaster of the original game where the controls actually work and it stops failing you for no reason.

It’s a shame that Truggy passed away, because I can imagine De La Soul being up for reprising their role in the theme tune.
I’ve often dreamt about a reboot of Parappa, combining realistic graphics with 2Dish animation, featuring famous hip-hop artists.
