The Legend of Spyro reboots took the purple dragon in a very different direction (in terms of both story and gameplay) and Skylanders tried something even more drastically different, by turning the entire focus away from Spyro himself and going the toys-to-life direction. The follow-up titles to both franchises shared the problem of not evolving past the original games, by retreading the same gameplay, unoriginal story, and overall feeling like unpolished experiences.Īs both franchises continued onward, it slowly became more and more apparent that the new developers didn't have the clearest directions for where the series should go. Both Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Spryo: Enter the Dragonfly ultimately failed in delivering experiences that met the series' high standards, with one of the key reasons behind their lower quality being the fact that they were developed by new studios that didn't understand what made their past games so great in the first place. After their PS1 games, both franchises went third-party and received some not-so-great follow-ups. Both Crash and Spyro have had their fair share of past mistakes.
