The new Apes movies aren't set before the original. They are their own thing. Fury Road is a sequel and Arkham Origins is a prequel. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is not going to lead into the original Planet of the Apes movie because it is its own canon and its own franchise with passing references to the originals. 

Something like X-Men First Class isn't a reboot. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is.

Dawn of the planet of the apes is set before the original though. Its the origin story to how the apes took earth over from man-kind. Granted its set a good long while before the original film but that was always the backstory. Rise and Dawn just detail exactly how the apes took over. Its not it's 'own thing' any more than DMC 3 is.
