I’m still going through the recent Nintendo Direct and writing my thoughts on that. So while watching that and realizing that there would be little news that would excite me aside from maybe the Zelda Ocarina of Time Remaster. I was looking at other announcements and that is how this happened.

Now, Spyro 4 is a game that has been anticipated since Crash 4 It’s About Time. Much like Crash it is likely they will acknowledge the games that came after the trilogy through easter eggs and come after the first three games. This is because after leaving the original developers Spyro got confusing. There was A Hero’s Tale, Enter the Dragonfly, Orange, Season of Flame, Season of Ice, Ryhnoc Rampage, the Legend Trilogy, and Skylanders.

The only thing I am afraid of is repeating mistakes from Crash 4. Now don’t get me wrong Crash 4 has some of the best platforming, most rewarding gameplay, and is overall amazing. Unless you go for 100%. I loved the hidden gem addition and the wumpa fruit gems, but found the inverted levels and death gems annoying and needless. I didn’t mind time trials since they have been there since the original Crash 3 Warped, but the whole game is just padding. There is so much needless padding you could use it to cushion a room.

Toys for Bob is not a bad company even their more mediocre titles have some fun and charm to them. I have confidence they learned their lesson from Crash and will pour everything into Spyro and who knows maybe Vicarious Visons (the team behind the amazing N Sane Trilogy Remaster and some new levels) can help after all we don’t know what they have been up to since Microsoft bought out Activision.
