The PS1 era Spyro has had several games comes out after the initial trilogy continuity, even a specific game on the NDS (alongside the reboot trilogy games the NDS got).
This new one would be more like... Spyro 7.
We don’t talk about anything past the initial trilogy. They were bastardizations that used the IP but fundamentally changed the gameplay. The Skylander games were the worst about this, as they heavily leaned on the Spyro brand but had very little in common with what Spyro fans wanted.
Everything after the initial trilogy was akin to making the next Civilization game a Dynasty Warriors style hack-n-slash game instead. Even if it had the Civ branding, it wouldn’t be a good Civ game. And most fans of the series wouldn’t consider it to be a “true” Civ 8, because it would be a drastic departure from what made the series iconic.
You'll be disappointed in me, but I prefer the New Beginnings trilogy with Elijah Wood much more. But weren't the other games (before that in the PS1 continuity) also collectathons? But from what little they've shown, the new Spyro game will have a lot of flying and combat too, so it might end up not having what the original Spyro fans want either.
We don't talk about Skylanders. There is no Skylanders in Ba Sing Se.
Crash also had a bunch of games, but people ignore everything that wasn't the original trilogy. I mean, Crash 4 was at least the 10th one.
Crash Team Racing would like to have a word.
Yeah, but wasn't that choice specifically made because the sequels after the Naughty Dog trilogy were a complete directionless mess?
Then Activision came along and turned Crash Bandicoot into a whole different kind of game.
As far as Spyro goes, I'm not seeing anything about it being specifically ignoring everything after the PS1 trilogy.
