Spyro The Dragon Reignited Trilogy Leaked - With Boxart (Update: screenshots too) [PS4/XB1]
- Thread starter Zippo
- Start date
no clue, haven't seen fps mentioned. Haven't heard anything about the Pro or X mentioned yet either
My inner child is screaming right now, unfortunately i dont have a console right now so i can only hope and wait for a PC version.
Yeah. Spyro 2 was always my favourite, and it's the one I'm anxiously awaiting footage from.
You might see Year of the Dragon at gamescon a month before release
I was just going to post this.
Wtf.
I've been pretty defensive of the changes they've made so far but they turned a pink and yellow level brown and green. All the sandstone tile is now granite cobblestone.
Its just not something that bothers me. As long as the game feels the same and looks good I really dont mind if they use a slightly different type of paving stone
I would argue that it doesn't feel the same. What we had before was a pristine manicured castle set in a hazy surreal colorscape. What we have now is much dirtier and realistic, missing that ethereal quality.
We all seem to see different things.
I see a castle environment at the sun is setting giving a pink hue. Since the PS1 graphics are basic it looks like a pink wall. In the remake you can see its a sunset as the walls look more realistic but still have the pink hue to them.
Yikes, that's a pretty heavy overhaul.
At this point I feel like I'm not going to recognize half of the levels. :\
Still going to get it, but I wish I could get a basic, cleaned up version of the original trilogy too, if only to sate my younger self. The extreme visual changes keep disconnecting me from that fuzzy nostalgia.
If you dont say anything they wont bother to change it.
Remember how the Crash Trilogy colors and artstyle looked off in the original reveal? That was all changed to be closer to the PS1 game by launch.
The skyboxes were a very important part of Spyro, especially when viewing levels through the portals. They should be preserving that.

Problem is, the game is out in two months. It feels a little too late, especially with how many levels are in these games, and how many we've yet to see.
And the skybox isn't what's bothering me about this latest vid. They've totally overhauled the level's coloration in a way that doesn't capture the original atmosphere at all.
New Dragon posted, Bubba.
Once again TfB knocking it out of the park in the character animation dept. When before I couldn't name you a single dragon from the first game, they have managed to instill a metric ton more personality into each Reignited interpretation to create legitimate memorable encounters. I can't wait to see what they do with Spyro 2 and 3.

A comparison to boot:

Will this remaster have the option to switch between old and new graphics?
One of my favorite features!

No, unless they have some crazy surprise announcement for it. But the chances are like 0,5%
It'd be difficult since Insomniac lost the source code to the original games. At best we might get a low-poly character skin or original soundtrack switch.
How long are these games to finish completely?
I have them on PS1, but I never actually played them properly (I played through quite a bit of Spyro 1, but didn't touch the others). I'd like to finish them before the Remastered trilogy.

For a basic run you could probably get through 4-5 hours each. It would probably be closer to 7-8 if you went for 100% without using any guides.
If you really know what you're doing, it's about twelve hours for all three of them. Otherwise it can be several times longer.
Right, thanks.
I did have a Spyro 2 guide in a PS Magazine I had years ago, so I'm sort of familiar with that one at least.

Frankly, and this is *not* a slight against the Spyro games... I think there's a far greater need for redesigns and reinterpretations in Spyro. Especially for characters. There was a lot left to imagination in those, thanks to their expert use of the low poly style, whereas in Crash the designs translate more 1:1 to high fidelity art.
I think the brand new dragon designs are fantastic (still some iffiness about the Gnorcs). My only real beef the big liberties they've taken with the looks of some levels, which to me were the best parts of the originals, along with the music. Sometimes it works, other times it loses all the distinction that set Spyro's worlds apart from more general fantasy.
I'm hoping that you can still use the fan chests to attack enemies, that one of my favorite things to do.
depends. If you just want to get from the start to end of every level you can burn through it quickly.
If you want to skateboard, play ice hockey, do the optional sidequests, find as many eggs/dragons etc as possible then it will take a lot longer
Sadly I havent seen any sign of it being streamed, it sounds like a terrific event. They also get a poster :(
Geoff said in a reply that it won't be live-streamed, that it's against SDCC protocol to have livestreams or something?
Makes sense. If anything like last year's Crash Bandicoot panel, they may upload it a few days after the event.

Yeah, SDCC has a huge thing against livestreams for some reason.
