Kotaku (Laura Kate Dale): Spyro Trilogy Remastered getting announced this year, PS4 1y exclusive

[KoolAid]

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.

Yeeeeees

 

[The Artisan]

FUCK YES

 

[Tizoc]

Shocking news~

You know I once said I would never replay original Spyro 1...I'ma go against that and aim to replay it someday :V

Wonder if they'll modernize or rather touch up some elements in Spyro 3?

 

[Deleted member 4260]

If this is true... hyped. I like these games more than the Crash ones.

i just moved into my new apartment and after a couple weeks of being cautiously quiet because of not knowing how well soundproofed the walls are, i just let out my first full i-don't-give-a-fuck scream

 

[Nirolak]

In their fiscal call, Activision did note that they were exploring other older IPs to potentially be remastered.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Oh snap! Hooray. I hope it hits other platforms too.

 

[impact]

Are these games more collectathons or platformers?

 

[The Artisan]

developed by who?

 

[KINGOFSHIBUYA Ltd.]

Hopefully they don't suck now. I havent played them since 2001. Especially the first game.

 

[Vertpin]

Absolutely adored Spyro 1-3 when I was growing up. I hope this is true and gets the same amount of love the N.Sane Trilogy did. I love Crash and Spyro both, complete the package!

 

[Zalman]

And it's by Vicarious Visions too. Perfect.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

About time they remaster a good PS1 platformer

 

[wideface]

Yessss. A much needed remaster.

 

[Ahasverus]

Yay

 

[Deleted member 7753]

 

[Dazraell]

Yay, finally!

 

[Zacagawea]

Damn I didn't know how much I wanted this until now

 

[alexi52]

i always liked spyro more than crash

 

[The Last Lombax]

YEEEESSSS!

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

GIMME GIMME GIMME. I liked crash, but I was never a huge fan and found the remaster to be really fun. A Spyro trilogy one would just be perfect.

they need to come up with a clever nickname like the Nsane trilogy

 

[Zaied]

It's only February and this might be the best news of the year. Ripto's Rage is 3D platforming excellence.

 

[Sectorseven]

For some reason Spyro was the only game to ever give me motion sickness.

 

[chandoog]

developed by who?

Bluepoint BABY !

Spoiler

Probably Vicarious Visions again

 

[Deleted member 249]

I always loved Spyro (far more than I ever liked Crash) so I'm all in on this

 

[Cinemikel]

So exactly the Crash N.Sane Trilogy route, timed exclusive

 

[Brucey]

I literally did a triple fist pump reading the headline. Spyro year of the dragon is my favourite game I've ever played.

 

[Arthoneceron]

I need to replay, but I think that the Crash games are better than the Spyro ones.

Was hoping for Crash Team Racing with online support, but I think this one works, I guess...

 

[The Artisan]

a couple things with this article though one is I don't think it'll be announced till e3 just like Crash and I don't think it'll release till next year.

Same fashion as Nsane

 

[Argot]

Cool for Spyro fans. The Skylanders years must have been tough times.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

So who is developing? Assuming a new Crash game is supposedly coming out next year too I doubt VV would do both.

The soundtrack for the Spyro games were so magical.

Ughhhhhhh. Can't wait to replay them - Ripto's Rage was one of my favorites.

Activision owns both spyro and crash? Ugh I'd hate to give them any money at all for these.

 

[Nikachu]

YESSSSSSSS

[Mandos]

Eh on the one year exclusivity, but hopefully their more forthright about it this time. I love all 3 games but only own a switch. Hopefully we get that darned Crash announcement soon, since they'll want to release it right after exclus

 

[Macca]

Don't you dare fuck up the music Activision and Vicarious Visions.

 

[The Artisan]

Bluepoint BABY !

edit: no, I don't think it's gonna be VV. Didn't they already say that they don't wanna do Spyro and also that they're gonna be involved in the new Crash games?

There's already evidence pointing to Bluepoint

 

[janusff]

Whoa.

How reliable is Laura?

 

[NEE HEE HEE]

it's another sony moneyhat episode

 

[xxracerxx]

What a dumb decision for timed exclusivity if true.

cool

to jump in day 1 or wait the year and get that Switch port..

or both..

probably both. I'm weak

 

[TheGreatDirector]

The time has come.
