According to multiple sources familiar with the project, Activision is currently working on a Spyro the Dragon Trilogy Remaster, which will be announced in March 2018 and released in Q3 2018.
The trilogy remaster will, much like the highly successful Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, feature new assets, lighting, animations and cinematics, as well as a remastered soundtrack. It will also feature updates to the save feature, much like occurred in the Crash remaster (which replaced the original games' password feature with something much more user friendly). The remaster will include Spyro the Dragon, Ripto's Rage!, and Year of the Dragon, and there is the tantalising promise of some content cut from the original releases of those games.
The Spyro remaster will be announced for PS4, with PS4 Pro support, sometime in March 2018, and will be releasing in Q3 2018. One source suggested that September would be the launch month, which would be in line with Spyro the Dragon's 20th anniversary.
While this detail will not be part of the announcement in March, the game will be a one-year timed exclusive for PS4, before being ported to other systems in 2019. Apparently, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is tied to similar one year exclusivity window, so expect to see multiple ports of that in 2018.
Spyro the Dragon Trilogy Remastered is currently under development by Vicarious Visions, the same studio who handled Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy. Given the bandicoot's success, this release makes a lot of sense – soon enough we'll see whether the dinky purple dragon is remembered quite as fondly.
PS4 has such a crazy library of classics that they can just remaster a lot and still be fine with a few exclusives per year (1st and 3rd party). I'm so behind on PS4 games I don't really want to start investing. I'd need to win the lottery to have the time and money to catch up.

Sony first party games go on sale very frequently and most of them are usually fairly cheap pre-owned or even brand new.

For PS4? Their legacy games? I know they're first party games do. I was talking about games like Spyro and Crash. What other classic could be remastered and brought back to great fanfare? Jak?
Final Fantasy Tactics remaster, but especially a Xenogears remaster. Hell for Xenogears, just fix the translation errors and sync the audio and I'll give Square my entire wallet.
There are plenty of things in World that piss me off. Capcom calling the west casual noobs. Just like in 3 Ultimate: "let' just give western players a 50 defense bonus"

Jak is a very good fit, hoping for a Ratchet and Clank style full remake,

I was racking my brain earlier, trying to think of a game from back in the day and I couldn't think of anything. It's been so long since I played PS1 or PS2 games.
Has anyone checked out the trailers for Extinction or Concrete Genie? Both look really good.
