If I had a gun to my head I would concede 1 is probably the best on account of the more complex level design and focused gameplay, but I still like 2 the most. I prefer the more whimsical level environments and enjoy most of the side activities, and imo Spyro just plain doesn't feel complete without swimming. 3's still good, but anything that was annoying in 2 only got worse in the followup.

Hard to convince myself to try them when Rare games and Ratchet and Clank exist. For the time I am sure Spyro was decent
>>
>>740601830
I gotta pick spyro 1. Like a lot of people have said before, there's a certain magic to the game's world that never really returned in the following games. I think overall it was a combination of things.

The music was good throughout the trilogy, but spyro 1 has no bad songs that come to mind unlike the sequels, and the more restrained soundfont makes everything sound consistent all the way through without becoming grating. The levels were more fun to play because you never had to blue ball yourself and come back later with some gay unlockable ability or character to beat it, you can jump in and 100% it them one go (I think the level design is best in the first game too, the game is less concerned with one-off gimmicks and instead has a handful of powerups that don't deviate far from the design philosophy of spyro and they increasingly push the limits of your understanding of the game each time they appear in a level).

And also the world design feels more focused on bringing a new fantasy world to life instead of adding some bizarre settings to levels that don't really match the spirit of the spyro (one example of this I can think of is the contrast between gnorc cove and robotica farms, the former being a total industrial thematic juxtaposition to everything that came before, signifying that spyro is like a fish out of water in the main bad guy's home world (which is expanded on further by the next level; having gnorcs with machine guns) compared to robotica farms having robot bugs as enemies because lol!).

I don’t think the following 2 games are bad by any means, but they’re definitely not in my top ten like spyro 1 is.

Classic sequelitis where it felt like they were pressured to make every game "bigger" with "more gameplay mechanics" so by the third game it was way too bogged down with random minigames, extra characters, and bloat. First game had great exploration and some fun puzzles, especially supercharges on Tree Tops and Haunted Towers.
>>
I feel like 1 is the best for tonal consistency among the 3
2 nailed the mechanics, expanding the moveset with hover swim climb and had my personal favorite stages.
3 was my personal favorite story wise but the expansion of additional playable characters and harder lean into minigames puts it below 2 imo.
I liked 3s boss fights the most. And the tone Spyro had in 2/3 was better delivered by Tom Kenny than
Carlos Alazraqui.

Why is this opinion so common?
The lack of any objectives or real challenge (beyond a few standouts like the Speedways and Tree Tops), even for the bosses. I'd put it as my least favorite of the trilogy, that's even with the missions from YOTD that I don't like, but i'd say all three are good games

2 is more consistent, 1 has the best level in the series (tree tops), 3 is so boring and formulaic. Every level is the same basic ass loop and the characters suck to play as, the mini games are awful and there's way too many of them.

3fags, why?

1. Any other answer is wrong. Most soul. Best vibes. 2 technically has "more," but at the cost of the dreamlike quality of the first. More dialogue and minigames are just jingling keys for babies. 1 is tight and perfect.

People over exaggerate the amount of backtracking in Spyro 2 and 3, but you do that so much more in the later half of Kazooie and throughout Tooie. Spyro 3's characters having their own secluded areas/levels make them far better. Same goes for the unlockable moves in Spyro 2 and the little backtracking that comes from that compared to Banjo.
The minigames just depends on what it is

Dawn of Dragon is kinda best coop couch game ever, you have 2 dragons, each with 4 different powers, but the dragons are chained with magical chain, so you cannot fly away far from your mate.

there are lots of exploring on big levels, levels are inspired by LOTR, so you have like plains, forest, evil sauron mountain, defence of minas tirith, and such stuff. there are leveling, bosses, secrets, puzzles, you can choose what power to level up like, fire/ice/acid breath. game is very colorful and fun.

it was released on ps2-ps3-wii, i wonder why no one did not rereleased it like, 100 times already.

>>740617710
Not him but I'll spell it out for you. The moment you declare that some arbitrary point in a franchise is the peak and that it's all downhill from there is the moment you no longer have any skin in the game. If there are no longer any games being made it's dead and if there are games being made that you personally see no value in then it's also dead so either result is the exact same as far as you're concerned.

So when you go around saying how much you want Crash and Spyro to "die in peace" because everything after the OGs are bad by default, why should anyone take you seriously?

>I want spyro, but not like the old ones, this one has to play different look different sound different but the NAME has to be spyro and a purple dragon has to appear otherwise I won't play
It's your opinion that is completely worthless. Go canibalize something else or ask for a new game. That's how you end with god of war clones and some completely nonsensical shit in your franchise to the point where it's impossible to discern an identity, becuase you won't stop putting shit on top of the fundamentals.

Depending on who I talk to and whatever point is the most convenient for the moment, a new game will either be exploiting the nostalgia of the adults who played it as children or it's something that strips away everything that made it special. For Spyro 4 though, this is a completely baseless assertion as platforming was promised to us and the flying could solely take place in a hub for all we know. Hell, there are even gems in the background during the segment where Spyro's running.
>It's your opinion that is completely worthless. Go canibalize something else or ask for a new game. That's how you end with god of war clones and some completely nonsensical shit in your franchise to the point where it's impossible to discern an identity, becuase you won't stop putting shit on top of the fundamentals.
Some of my favorite games took inspiration from other IPs or drastically changed all together. Rayman 2 and 3 were chasing the trends of the latest 3D platformers and they can be argued to be better than the first game. Paper Mario TTYD added shit to the formula from the first game. You have an insane black and white approach to tampering with the fundamentals when the end result is all that matters.

The "result" that Toys for Bob have shown so far are Crash 4 and Reignited. Two complete fucking disasters for each respective franchise that universally misunderstand and misrepresent the strong points of each respective series and completely replaces them with some vastly inferior interpretation that's at points outright insulting to long time fans. Now, if you don't have any issue with their games, there's nothing else I can tell you.

this seems like a good place to ask. How do you all feel about spyro 4's design? Beyond a nitpick or two(Please give him larger irises and pupils) I think he looks pretty good.

I don't hate this design after they fixed it up but I won't ever call him spyro. Even tattoo crash didn't deviate that much.

>>740601830
2. Just enough added to make it more fun than 1 while not overdoing it like 3.

Honestly I'd still take your pic related over the Legend of Spyro design from >>740620327. Like even if it's not great-looking, I can respect Skylanders for attempting a full-on redesign of the character, but the one from TLOS just looks like the original Spyro if he had fetal alcohol syndrome or something.
>>
3>2>1, but 2 is a better game and I just don't like how early PS1 1 is.
>>
>>740618356
It's spyro as a God of war-like (PS2/PS3 era). It's mainly focused on combat, exploration and athmosphere, with very little platforming (mainly scaling vertical walls).
It's great as a co-op game. The game has an amazing soundtrack and spyro is voice acted by Elijah Wood (Frodo).
>>
>>740601830
1 is the most fun. 2 is decent. Didn't like 3.

You know, at least with Skylanders, you got an actual toy to go along with it that you could use in the game.
Nowadays kids are getting scammed by third-worlders for digital shit made with AI slop in Roblox.

don't forget the trilogy is on sale for 9 bucks

Even with all the stuff in 3, there's still about the same amount of collectibles achieved through regular gameplay as 2

From the trailer it looks like he's colored closer to the original design now, might be just be lighting, but for example those wings look more like the PS1 coloring than reignited.

Why do I get the feeling that you wouldn't have written this post two days ago
>>
>>740617470
If you would stop huffing your own 30-year old nostalgia farts you'd realize that both Crash and Spyro's most recent output is the best there's ever been since Universal took over.
We're on an upward trajectory. Even if you don't like the remakes or IAT, you can't deny that post-PSX has never been better.
>>
>>740601830
Year of the Dragon. Because it was my first game in the series since before that I was still playing on Dendy console
>>
>>740618071
I'm hoping that "dragon flight" is just an upgraded glide. It looked like the campfire he lights in the trailer gave him extra lift, and there was a ring in the air too. If maintaining flight depends on managing boosts like that, I think it'll be OK. Might even be a lot of fun if they're going for a more technical focus on movement (based on how difficult Crash 4 was, this is a distinct possibility).

I am generally positive about it
His eyebrows feel too big, gives him a bit of a caveman look
The spine being made to look more like hair, I'm not a fan of
And I agree with you about his eyes

>>740625526
it probably has a stamina meter and he won't be able to fly unlimited until like the end of the game

As a kid, 3.
As an adult, 2.
This is personal preference though, and I can understand why someone would pick any of them as their favorite.

2 loses the magic and soul of the first game and becomes shitty minigameslop and is riddled with obnoxious backtracking. 3 just totally loses the plot and is straight shovelware

>because the budget clearly tanks and the staff gets more jeet-infested the further they got in development.
I am genuinely pissed off that my personal favorite (3rd game) suffered greatly because of it
>>
>>740627728
I haven't played A Hero's Tail
I like the GBA trilogy (already a somewhat contentious opinion) but even if A Hero's Tail is good, they're firmly a minority of the post-Insomniac output.
>>
>>740628034
Season of Ice is complete ass but the other two are decent. And a Hero's tail is an alright Jak and Daxter clone.
In any case, the toys for bob games are worthless to me. I already fully completed reignited and crash 4 and I have no interest in touching anything they do ever again. Even if they're less bad than some of the ohter outrageous nonsense, less bad than trash doesn't make it good or desirable. I have zero interest in revisiting them ever again or playing any of their new games, so for me this is far from going upwards.
If their output is good enough for you, congratulations I guess.

What is with C-D tier franchise deniers thinking they're safe to dig up and publicly desecrate corpses without everyone giving them weird looks, contain discussion of this shit to your own private sewer dwellings.

For the few of you that reproduce, your children will grow to resent your insistence on paying respects to Grandpas degraded muddy sunken headstone. It smells like shit and piss in that section since the groundskeeper uses it a spare bathroom, guys a total mess and his life is falling apart, disgusting. Its pretty depressing really, someone should put the guy out of his misery, probably best to abandon the whole cemetary in truth.

Sad and alone you will all die, the last to remember, never able to let go and move on, as the name fades away leaving no trace of its existence and no one to care.

>>740628420
OK well you're entitled to your opinion but I'm really looking at things from a big picture perspective
Like I said, I like the GBA trilogy, even Season of Ice, but I can recognize that it's a far cry from the original games' quality.
Removing my biases, it's very obvious that the TfB output is the best Spyro's been since the original games.
>>
Started this today, never played it but played Season of Flame as a kid, albeit I remember nothing. Got lost in a level for ages and just felt really stupid. Maybe it's just me.
>>
>>740629693
No that's normal, Season of Ice sucks ass. The camera covers too small of an area, none of the levels have any landmarks, and completing objectives teleports you around, it's just incredibly disorienting. The Japanese version actually added in-game maps to make it easier to tell where you are.

Season of Flame fixes all those problems.

Spyro 1 has always been my favorite because I preferred how it leaned more towards Fantasy over Cartoon, had a stellar atmosphere, the collectables were all fantastic and unique, and the level design was no gimmicks all meat.

I will concede though Spyro was somehow the only 3D Platformer to do underwater well and it makes me wish that the underwater world in Spyro 1 was able to be finished.
>>
>>740631508
its genuinely so bizarre to me that even ratchet and clank does feel as good to swim around in as spyro
its even STRANGER that in the remakes they ruined the momentum even though they said they were ripping the code from the original games. its so fucking odd

Like the made his jaw way too wide, got rid of his overbite, narrowed his nose a bit and gave him blue eyes
I was trying to put my finger on why he looked so fucking barneyfied in the trailer but I didn't get it until running the comparison

>>740601830
Often, people will speak of 2, saying it isn't "watered down" by gimmicks that are present in 3 and after years I finally come to realize that they're wrong. Spyro gameplay is not particularly engaging overall and 3 made the right decision to add more gimmicks and mini-games that freshen up the gameplay experience so you can better enjoy the normal levels as spyro.

3 also has the best art direction overall, a lot of great looking levels that all stand apart more than the previous games.

1, by far. I don't like the gimmicks of 2 or the other characters of 3. The focus of the first game is far more enjoyable to me
>>
>>740620237
Didn't like it at first but for what is supposed to be a teenage Spyro, the design makes a lot more sense. Though I think the inside of his eye should be bigger
>>
>>740601830
The first one by far.
>>
>>740636753
Spyro was always a teenager he just hasn't had the growth spurt yet. Although Toys for Furfags wants to turn him into bara bait, they know full well they cannot sell that idea from a gameplay and fan perspective. It would be like trying to turn Sonic into Doomguy or have Mario become some Solid Snake analogue.
>>
>>740636373
I disagree, Spyro probably has the most enjoyable controls for exploration I've found in a platformer. I find navigating the world and reaching "hidden" parts of levels to be more fun than any mini-game with less refined controls. Despite the pretty solid level design of Spyro 3, all the mini games make me not want to play it, I probably wouldn't enjoy the game today without nostalgia.
>>

>Timeline matches release order
Uh...okay. Thanks for clearing that up?

2 and 3 are good too but man some of those gimmicks fucking suck. Also how you have to revisit levels once you get a new ability/character instead of being able to 100% everything on your first go through

Spyro in the past has had a pretty good track record. Even with that Skylanders thing did well.. The Spyro Reignited Trilogy didn't sell as many copies as Crash N'Sane Trilogy, though. This looks like a reboot to the classic Spyro pre-renders. Someone said "Fuck it! Let's just reboot Spyro and make the character look like the Spyro from the original Playstation series". Right on time for Spyro's 30th anniversary. The original Crash Bandicoot was released in 1996, and nothing for Crash's 30th?
