The Reignited Trilogy was supposed to be a launch pad for Spyro, but after a few cryptic teasers, we're still waiting on a new game
*Sigh*
Sometimes it's hard being a Spyro fan. Yeah, i really really really want Spyro 4. Crash Bandicoot got a 4th one, its only fair.

KeenGamer: "Rage quitting is something we've all done, and it's never pretty. See which missions end up being the most rage-inducing of them all. Some missions go beyond the threshold of difficulty and test our abilities and patience to the limit, forever scarring players with the grinding cycle of try, fail and repeat."
The elevator in GOW Ascension made me rage quit so hard I uninstalled the game and never did go back to it. I'm not proud of that. I have played and loved every GOW game but that level just took the utter piss out of me.
Trying for the no guns achievement on Mirrors Edge broke both me, and a set of car keys which was the closest thing in grabbing distance that wasnt a controller.
Hoping Spyro 1-3 are all on the disc now. Rumors we're saying that's one of the main reasons Spyro got delayed
Delays are not always ok though. Look at a game like Crackdown that has received how many delays? I am all for devs polishing up their games and taking extra time if needed. But when you see a game continue to get delayed it's a bad sign of how development is going and definitely doesn't give you as much hope for the finished product.
If games are getting delayed again and again, then there is an obvious sign that something isn't going quite right. In the majority of cases though, I'm fine with games getting delayed. I wish Shenmue 1 and 2 was delayed by a month or two, the amount of bugs on release was horrible, even now it's still got some serious bugs in it. I don't usually buy games day 1 anymore, so I'm not sure if this is normal, but the game from my point of view is still in Beta condition. The main story can be completed, but you can't 100% it because it's not finished.
This is what makes me miss console gen 6 so much. Games back then had minor bugs, but they never had such game breaking ones that we have today. It's because devs have been allowed to get away with releasing a game in a sloppy state. I hate this release now, patch later era we are in.
Very few people here have a problem with delays only if its ridiculous delays like TLG and FF15 will gamers get annoyed.
Unless nothing of significance is done. A game comes out in a broken state regardless.
Forget that in context we're talking about a delay because a physical release had one of three games on it with requirement the rest be downloaded. That the company behind this did not see the immediate stupid behind this.
