Played through the PS2 spyro games the other day as well as the PS1 ones. The ps2 ones were bland as shit and the first 2 were gee I hope you like fighting mandrils: the game.
The original series on the other hand was fun as fuck.
On a side note the 4 guardian dragons were retarded as fuck.
>>337977832
what we need is an HD reboot of the original 3, like what insomniac did with R&C
but since licensing is fucked it wont happen.
>>337977832
Any other series has a better chance of being saved than Spyro.

If the toys to life genre ever dies then maybesomebody post it
>>337977832
It's not like Skylanders was ever really a "Spyro" game as much as a game he cameos in as a playable character.
Not as long as it's under Activision

no anon... no....
What are the top Sony platformer series
>Crash
>Spyro
>Ratchet and clank
>Jak and Daxter
>Sly
Some of the aren't exclusive but their best times were. What are some other series?
>>337982073
I was expecting the pastebin
with a good fanbase, yes
>>337982382
And they're all dead, outside of ratchet and clank which was only revived for the movie.
>>337982073
it's beautiful
>>337982942
>implying they won't keep going because the game sold really well
>>337977832
The fanbase has kept up for a while, lead artist of one of the games just open up a deviantART. Probably not, but definitely now impossible. Best guess is to see if Activision does anything for Crash's 20th anniversary.
>>337982073
why am i laughing so goddamn hard
I honestly don't understand Activision. An HD remake of the original spyro and crash games would bring in MILLIONS do they not like money?
>>337977832
Spyro?
Who's that?
Is it some sort of spider pyromancer?
>>337983301
Calling it now, the whole Modern Warfare HD thing will make them so much money, they bundle the PS1 Spyro trilogy remake exclusively with a Skylanders special edition that costs over 120 dollars.
>>337982382
missed someone
>>337983885
DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS!
>>337984225
>Sony platformer series
>Gex
Nice try, but not a sony exclusive anon.
>>337984503
but literally anyone with a brain played it on PS1
>>337982073
>This is now on my Youtube history
thanks, I cant wait for the suggested vids
>>337984225
>>337984503
>>337984550
>tfw you own a rare Gex push
Feels nice
>>337984550
Barely anyone played it at all.
>>337984774
cute desu
>>337983301
They're retarded, like many modern companies seem to be.
Rather than listening to the fans who buy and are demanding a product end mass, they'd rather do what they think is best with their shortsighted projections.
I'm bitter. Does it show?
>>337983045
How much did it sell anyway?
>>337977832
Why does this look like mlp fanart?
>>337984835
Im like the only Gex fan on this whole website anyway
>>337984774
Nice
>>337984503
I almost forgot theres an N64 version. I played the others on playstation anyways.
>>337984774
Love it. So glad /v/ appreciates this game. Music is underrated.
>>337984774
Btw I spent $250 on it and still have no regrets
>>337985016
You're no special snowflake, plenty of people like it.

I still love this track
>>337985148
>>337984503
Loved this fucking game, even if I barely remember it.
>>337983301
Because Skylanders is easier to make and rakes in the money from the figures?
It's essentially "why waste time remaking this when we can just shit this out, no time or money wasted, for more money?"
>>337985214
it got enough sales to get two sequels and a port, maybe? fucking dingus
>The Gex series has sold a combined total of over 15 million copies for all platforms. Gex 3 is the best selling of the series, shipping over 6 million copies and also became the best-selling PlayStation adventure game of 1999 with 3 million copies in that year alone.
>>337985625
>15 million
>good at all
>>337985625
>>The Gex series has sold a combined total of over 15 million copies for all platforms.
How many platforms was it on though?
That's essential to knowing if 15 mil was a good or bad number.
>>337985965
3DO, Playstation, and N64
>>337985263
That's good keep it that way. The game fucking sucks going back to it
>>337985839
>>337985965
>a fifth gen game selling >5 million copies
>not good
Okay, I'm done. See you.
>>337986105
Eh, that's alright I suppose
>>337986484
Looks like you gotta find another game to "like before it was cool". Don't want your friends to think you're a dirty conformist do you?
:^)
>The GEX Manual for the Playstation states GEX's mom sold NASA's rockets to some random third-world country
>>337982382
You forgot Ape Escape bro
>>337986670
I'm not the anon that was saying that you know.
That said Gex has fallen out of relevancy and fans are far and few.
>>337986729
Ape Escape isn't really a pure platformer though
>>337984550
He's technically the 3DO's mascot.
>>337986693
Is this a custom sprite? Never remembered seeing it in the game
>>337987405
Well yeah but neither is R&C (past the first game) since the main focus after that was being a TPS but it's still considered a platformer.
>>337988292
>>337982382
You forgot Jumping Flash!
>>337984550
It was a 3DO game, primarily. That's the system non-normies played it on.
>>337984550
>Gex is a side-scrolling platform game originally released for the 3DO in 1995. Versions of the game were later released for the PlayStation, the Sega Saturn and Microsoft Windows
>>337988657
but none of the ape escape games main focuses are on platforming, whereas at least R&C had one platforming focused game

FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU
>>337989920
that was disgustingly cringey
>>337989103
What are Gex 2 and 3?
Arguably the PS1 versions were the definitive games to play, the N64 ports were awful.
>>337989920
shit
