Spyro Reignited Trilogy on Switch requires day one patch apparently for the cutscenes

[Deleted member 7217]

A dataminer managed to get ahold of SRT on Switch and it's day one update, the latter of which contained a lot of cutscenes, apparently.

Most of the update are just cutscenes, in terms of total file data size?

What's the point of a physical release if its incomplete? Do publishers know why people want physical? I prefer digital and even I, a plebeian, know what physical gamers want.

Yep, game companies don't give a fuck about preservation. They don't even really care about item B unless you use it to fund another one of their games. They just want to maximize sales and their is still a large percent of people who only buy physical games.

This reminds me there's still no good way to gift digital purchases on consoles and Steam. On Steam you can gift games if you have an account but that's no good for people who don't want an account but still would like to gift something to a friend or relative.

You can buy gift cards but it is completely impersonal, it is not a gift that is very exciting for children, perhaps for teenagers.

Cutscenes were in-engine on PSX. They should have made them in-engine too.

The way Activision has been treating physical copies lately has been such BS, first it was this then it's with CoD. I was surprised CTR was fine, but I already feel like Activision is done with Physicals and already looking to put everything digital.

And it loses the element of surprise, you know, openning the console "Hey Gilo, your friend Regigigas sent you a gift!"

The thing with Crash is you only get adventure mode and co-op when you're offline. That is fine but you have to download a lot of content now to be able to keep up with the Grand Prix, not to mention you can't access the pit stop without an internet connection, so even stuff in the base game can be inaccessible.

It's a real shame how Spyro and it's forced download / requiring internet connectivity has ruined physical releases for those who want / need to play offline.
