I think he meant just not caring about deviations. Obviously everybody in the thread is excited to some capacity.lmao that's certainly one way to spin it
everyone thoroughly excited about the game doesn't care about it. okay

Okay but that's your word for it. My word is improvements. What we can agree is that there are changes, and calling the changes deviations or improvements is just spinning a narrative. You don't get to say you care more because your nomenclature is more sinister.I think he meant just not caring about deviations. Obviously everybody in the thread is excited to some capacity.
I'm not spinning a narrative it just seems like the visuals are just very polarizing people love it and some people don't.Okay but that's your word for it. My word is improvements.

well I didn't say that so chill out!You don't get to say you care more because your nomenclature is more sinister.
IT'S TIME, FRIENDS
It's time to retire this avatar. Both my boys came back, so it's no longer relevant. Say goodbye to sad Spyro and Crash in their yard sale.
-goes into metamorphosis-
Does it? Switch version hasn't been announced yet, so of course they aren't taking pre-orders for it.Wow. This all but confirms that there won't be a Switch port any time soon. It's fine, this project has likely been in the works a long time, but... it still seems weird to me. Ah well, I'll play it eventually.
I'll wait for the next Direct to see if a Switch version is available. If not i'll get the PS4 version.
There's been no news of a limited edition or anything? I wanted more Spyro goodies.
I wouldn't count on it, the only Limited Edition of N'Sane Trilogy came with socks.
I got that CD case with the first Spyro! Is yours also the black one with the playstation logo on it?Bummer! I still have my Spyro CD case that came with Gateway to Glimmer. Was hoping we'd get something neat this time too. I don't think i'd want socks though LOL

This is mine:Nope, it's purple and has a picture of Spyro on the front. I didn't know there was something with the first game too though!
I also still have the demo disc that came with spyro!

Can't wait to see some of the gateway to glimmer and year of the dragon content
I legitimately had to return the game when my parents found out about the butt reveal. Such a sad day in my childhood :(I hope they still show their butts!
Also holy cow this game looks so gorgeous!
Sorry if this post is a bit big, but I did a couple more recolors and added color swatches to help better demonstrate why I'm doing this and why I feel strongly about the new colors. The original games were pretty important to me in terms of learning about color theory and how influential a palette can be. I feel like the biggest detracting statement from people who like the new colors is that "that's how real lighting works" and while I see your point, Spyro takes place in a fantasy world with talking dragons. It wasn't realistic then because they didn't want it to be realistic. It's not like they accidentally chose the colors they did in the original or just used photo references of what they saw outside and popped that in-engine. If you read the Gamasutra article about their approach to color theory with the trilogy, you can see they had a very clear process in choosing the palettes and it wasn't anything to do with trying to make the world look realistic or believable.

I did my best to employ some of the techniques they describe when re-coloring, not just swapping new colors with the old ones, which is most apparent in the third photo. I'm absolutely open to change, I love what they did with the geometry in the world. I'm a big fan of the splashes of blue on the spires in the third photo, so I tried to place more emphasis on them and dull down the overwhelming oranges and reds.
Obviously they're not perfect because they're just photoshops I did in an afternoon, but I think with the color swatches you can see a bit more of why I feel some changes could benefit this. Also I'm not trying to start any arguments about "the original is the best, the remake's shit, I'm right, etc", this is more to open a dialog and to show the developers something they may have not realized was important to the core of the game that others have appreciated in the past. I also sent out a tweet with these because Toys For Bob seems relatively active on Twitter, in the hopes of at least getting them to acknowledge it's important to some of us.
Same! I think the colors look beautiful and I don't mind those skybox changes/tweaks.Changing something like that would annoy me a lot more than the skybox tweaks that have been debated to death in this thread
That sounds really sad! D:I legitimately had to return the game when my parents found out about the butt reveal. Such a sad day in my childhood :(
That sounds really sad! D:
I'm glad my parents didn't mind it.
Yeah. I never had any issues with my parents regarding things like this. The very first game I played, and played rather religiously, was Mortal Kombat II back when I was 7 years old :D
They absolutely nailed the model. I was really worried about it too since Skylanders Spyro is absolutely hideous, but they nailed it.
You weren't kidding, need to hear the rest as I have a soft spot for this BGM but it sounds very promising, I hope they do the original OST justice.
As long as they keep the style I'll be happySpyro's model looks fresh and faithful at the same time, I dig it.

Insomniac learned from a lot of the mistakes Mario 64 made so on most accounts it's a better game. SM64 is definitely more novel and iconic, but Spyro has fewer growing pains.So, next to Mario 64 how good is this game really? Without the nostalgia goggles.
If you really value the kinetic feeling of moving around in 3D, Spyro never really hits the highs of Mario.So, next to Mario 64 how good is this game really? Without the nostalgia goggles.
I have this too! :OOh, neat! Looks like a similar make to mine. Unfortunately i got rid of the demo myself. I remember it controlling strangely? But maybe that was just because it was before analogue sticks.
damn! peacekeepers is looking great!
