Why are there so many rumors recently that make specific assertions about which platforms a game won't be available for? My knowledge about how info might move around a work environment would make that the least likely aspect to be sure about for the sake of leaking.

I've seen it in Capcom, Namco, and Activision rumors, and all of them (that I can think of) have been inaccurate.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how they interpreted some of those levels.

Oh, fuck me... Autumn Plains is like the place my mind goes to whenever I think of Spyro 2.
The music coupled with the environment and palette... I reaaaally hope they do this one well.

I don't know why, but I'm getting the feeling that they might be remastering Spyro. Can't be sure, but I have this nagging feeling.

The original rumor was by Laura who said there'd be a timed-exclusive release which seems to be false. Not that I doubt it's happening, the question is if it's at the same time as PS4 and XBO.

True but I don't see the Switch version releasing afterwards unless there is timed exclusive or they started the Switch version later. But i doubt that.

Oh it just hit me, if Toys for Bob is doing this, then Vicarious Visions is definitely doing CTR, right? I need that.

They're probably working on a new game but honestly, I'm hoping for a second trilogy that includes remakes of CTR, Crash 4 and Twinsanity. There is a good game hidden in Crash 4 once the ridiculous amount of loading and questionable hit detection is fixed. And Twinsanity is hugely underappreciated as it released when people already stopped caring much about the series.

No it does not exist on any platform as it hasn't been officially announced yet. We have just Amazon listings and that's it. Calm down and be happy that Spyro is back.
I am happy.

If anything that's exactly why I get suspicious of threads that talk more about platforms versus the game itself. Don't know what you're on about.

I remember loving spyro even if I didnt understand some of the quest because I didnt know english.
IF it is 30fps like crash, I'll wait for a PC (FPS) or switch (portable) versión. (Not repeating the mistake I did with crash).

Gonna echo the wish the color palette was a little closer in some cases but otherwise this looks really really nice. Can't wait to see more

This won't sell well on PS4 but will sell great on Xbox

On September it's two big games DQ11 and Spiderman PS4. On Xbox One those two games are not there so more people will buy Spyro on Xbox since nothing much else to buy in September on Xbox.

Same if this is 30fps ill pass and wait for PC version for cheaper later on

Yeah. Happened in the DQ11 thread and because of it, the thread was recycle bin quality with nothing of worth inside. This game however hasn't been officially announced yet.

Why do I feel like I prefer the right image here? I really can't place my finger on it but I just like what's on the right here. From any objective standpoint the left is so much better they're not in the same league but I like the right.

The left feels almost too busy, like I won't be able to recognize the levels, and somewhat generic (like a dreamworks animation) looking.

Granted, I was a child when I first played them, but I thought they were the best the PS1 had to offer. (Again, I was young, so stuff like MGS was not an option for me at the time.) Played some of them again a few years ago, and they still hold up. I am big on platformers, and these are among my favorites.
Thanx. Never played them. I was mostly a Nintendo gamer in those days.

Looks really good. I never got the chance the play the originals. If this is being worked on by a different studio, I wonder what project Bluepoint got for their next remake because SoTC was incredible.

I hope it's 60fps on consoles.

Kinda expected it to be exclusive the PS4 first...then again its Activision and there arent many reason to limit the sales of a game that could be released on multiple systems now that the format is proven.

Yeah - the portbegging police is doing too much again lol.
In the Firewatch thread someone cried portbegging because a user asked where Hollow Knight Switch was xD

I was originally expecting a Crash situation as well. So If we don't get that awesome.

Hmmm... my thing with the left image here is that there's too much dark shadowing going on. I feel like it could use some brighter lighting and more saturated colors...

1-3, Wrath, Twinsanity, Titans, Mutants, so 8 it would be.

I generally count Wrath and Twinsanity as we have unquestionable proof that they're considered 4 and 5:

Titans and Mutans are more debatable as they feel as if they're part of a reboot thanks to the drastic change in gameplay as well as the huge character redesigns. (They also didn't even get Japanese releases.) I won't exactly argue it but I don't personally consider them to be the original series.

I know what you are saying. I think it has to do with the LoD (Level of Detail) system of the original game(s). I believe that Insomniac with the Spyro games were one of the originators of such a system in games, which is pretty much industry standard now and has been for a long time. What it is is it basically means that objects and textures in the distance have lower quality/resolution textures and lower poly-count 3D models/meshes. Then as the player gets closer and closer, the game dynamically swaps in higher resolution textures and models.

The way the Spyro games did it has always looked so good and has been one of the major reasons, IMO, as to why those games looked so great and still look so great today. The softening of background detail just looks so good in those games, and I think it actually adds, rather than detracts, from the games visual aesthetic.

Here's an old video of them talking about this very thing:

It's fully editable and switching edition on page doesn't change it.
Probably depends on which user first clicked on (from other page like search)

You can also edit it to say whatever you want

https://www.amazon.in/Spyro-Reignited-Trilogy-Switch/dp/B07CDSX3Z5?

Oh fuck, so that increases the chance of it being a timed exclusive once again. With that Amazon link i got a little happy. Ah well, less than an hour now.

I do wonder how well the game has aged. I honestly never really gave the games a chance on PS1, but I like what I'm seeing here. Would you say Spyro provides some challenge or is it a rather easy game for anyone?

The left is darker. Needs to have a more brighter color pallete and more intense lighting.

I'm pretty cool with how it looks honestly though.
