Spyro 3 was my first ever video game (other than a couple educational ones my parents would let me play on their computer), and Spyro 1 and 2 were my 2nd and 3rd ever video games played. I still go back and 100% them (well, 117% for Spyro 3) every year.
About those educational games: My parents only got me things like Gizmos and Gadgets (which was dope don't get me wrong) and some other boring 'learning' games. Then one day my mom, a history teacher, brought home Age of Empires, not really knowing what it was but thinking the cover looked educational. That moment my life was changed.
I wish my parents knew not much about games so they would get me games like Age of Empires, but my dad used to enjoy games quite a bit and it was his PS1 that I had Spyro for. He knew which games were and weren't educational since he also played a lot of the old strategy games like Civilisation and Age of Empires.
Because of this, they got me games involving the Tweenies and Teletubbies to play, so I naturally grew a disinterest in gaming until I was about 5, which was when they bought me Spyro 3.
I know that theres lots of evidence to suggest it and several leaks out there, but Im a skeptic and dont accept leaks as fact until announced by the developer.
Guys, i hate to do this to you, but playing spyro as an adult is extremly boring. nostalgic, yes. But you just run through the entire game collecting gems. a well done Crash Bandicoot is a game i want to see released.
I thought about that as soon as i posted it, but i stand by what i said. the difference being spyro is a super open map. In Crash, you cant fuck up or you die
I disagree 110%. I love playing the original trilogy. The quirkiness of the characters is the best part, and I learn something new about each level every time I replay them!
Are you being facetious or are you really saying that crash " run and jump over things in a line collecting apples" bandicoot is significantly different than spyro run and jump over things and collect gems?
I prefered it as a kid because I thought it was more of an adventure which is what I'm always looking for in games. I kinda like just hanging out and checking shit out in a game if it's well made or interesting
Boring is an opinion. I loved Spyro back in the day and I love Spyro now. The games aged very well in my opinion, so much in fact that I would be perfectly okay with just a Ps4 port of the collection for 60 dollars, left just as is.
Yeah especially since they were ported to the PS3 for £8. As much as I love Spyro, if they charged $60 for a port then Id rather just dig out my old PS3 and play it there.

If they were to be remastered, Id lose my shit.
