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.
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.
I was going to write one here. Good to know others thought the same thing haha
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.
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
In fact, it’s so close to Sunshine that there’s a FLUDD mod on PC. It performs exactly as you’d expect. It’s obviously cheating and makes platforming much easier than intended, but it’s interesting just how close AHIT actually is to Sunshine in terms of how the game feels to play.
“Oh yeah, Spyro, my favorite Xbox character. Right next to Crash Bandicoot and Banjo Kazooie.”
Words that would have given me in 2001 an aneurysm.
Please, don’t give me hope.
