Don't think it was the doings of Toys for Bob, but I really didn't care for the Spyro remakes. I beat the first one and just dropped it. Maybe it's me being older, or those games just being overrated and nostalgia taking over but they were just kind of meh for me. I loved the Crash remakes though and got the plat in all of them (I know that wasn't them). Crash 4 was fine, not great but not bad. Had wayyyy too much bloat though and insanely long levels for basically no point.
I was really hoping they would just create something new and fun. Can kind of understand where they are at being a smaller studio and doing a new Spyro would be safer than a new IP, just don't think that would pull me in to buying it though. Will wait to see if one, the thing is even real, and two, if it looks fun to play.
I am the semi opposite. hated the crash remakes, thought spyro was better, and liked crash 4 mostly.
But Spyro did have issues, a lot of personality was striped out with terrible new voice acting, and 2, and especially 3, were buggy. And the unification of certain systems across all 3 games slightly chipped away at each game's individual identity.
There was a guy on youtube, who I don't know, that made a fairly lengthy video about how he knew people at Toys for Bob, and they told him that the whole damn thing was essentially made in 9 months. Which seems unreal. May or not be true, but it kind of adds up with various circumstances surrounding it's release.
Anyways, I think Spyro 4 has probably been in various stages of development over the last 5 years, and they keep getting pulled off it for Call of Duty, so I think Canadian guy is
technically correct.
But he is so full of shit, he's been making Spyro 4 clickbait videos almost weekly since the remakes came out, so if it does come out eventually he can say he was right, even though he was full of shit. I used to watch him years ago but quickly caught on to his BS.
