MODERATORS
I'll never be able to hear their name without getting upset that they were relegated to work in the Skylander mines for a decade instead of allowed to make another Star Control.
Fiiiiiiiinally. Spyro 4 has been rumored for years, it's great to finally see it. The Reignited Trilogy was amazing and I hope this matches those older games. From that last bit of gameplay though, I hope it's not some kind of open world thing.
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.
I am casually optimistic but this really gives me a lot of the legend of Spyro vibes of taking the existing characters from Spyro and trying to fit them into a new genre. Hopefully the trailer is just showing a new type of level and the focus is still on collectathon 3d platforming.
Pretty nervous that gems, the charge or flame attacks, and sparks weren’t shown off in the trailer at all.
Yeah, the wide open world with free flying and fireball breath has me concerned. Spyro is more of a puzzle game, where you have to figure out how best to use your limited abilities as a young dragon to navigate a level designed with that gameplay in mind. This looks more like an open-ended adventure game. Hopefully they were just showing off a particularly large level at a time when he happened to have some temporary powerups enabled.
Toys for Bob is making this game, the people who made the original trilogy remake. It'll probably be done well. They seem to get it.
Spyro better fly unrestricted now that the trailer's advertised it.
That would be an interesting twist on platforming. You can mint freely within an area, but movement between areas takes puzzle solving or challenges.
I just hope the whole thing doesn't play like the flight levels.
Sulphur Nimbus did this in a way. Little indie game. Fly all you want, but you need speed and space to fly. It gets harder to get in the air in tight quarters, which is where the platforming comes in.
In interviews they have confirmed that spyro can swap between walking and free flight at will.
Very curious to see how the free flight changes the game design. Of all classic platformers, I feel Spyro is the best suited to turn into a sort of open world exploration game (and I say this as someone who absolutely despises open world games).
Is it video games trailer day or something?
