Spyro The Dragon Reignited Trilogy Leaked - With Boxart (Update: screenshots too) [PS4/XB1]
- Thread starter Zippo
- Start date
Only played the first one, but I remember liking it enough to 100% it. Or maybe I just didn't have anything else to play at the time. Either way, it looks good, but September is a terrible time to release it what with Spiderman and Dragon Quest releasing then.
All this division over the remastered soundtrack in here... Meanwhile, as someone who played Spyro 3 in a PAL region, I'm just happy that the remake won't have Spyro 3's opening hub world music as the final boss theme again. That was some real shit.
Weird that its on Xbone but not PC, mainly. Or Switch even, but that one i dont generally expect
i hope they fixed 3's last area so much. Sad how rushed and fucked that was.
seems awesome :)
People are so flippin whiny i swear. "his eyes are slightly different compared to the originals!" "I want the synthesized PS1 music!"
Why do devs even bother to bring back IP's people are begging for

The ps1 music was legendary. If they drop the ball on the soundtrack, people are completely right to be pissed.
Slight correction here: the PS1 used samples, not synthesis, to realize the musical brilliance of Stewart Copeland. I think that what we've heard thus far has been passable and I absolutely adore the art style, even if it could use more dramatic hue contrast, but the music is so good and Copeland is so talented that the original songs would have been perfect.
We would be having a better discussion if you had read my comment from the beginning properly instead of accusing me of bringing console warring.
So I'll try explaining a second time, I was not accusing you of anything. I was trying to explain why people were reacting like they were to the comments saying that people only like the games because of nostalgia by making an example the other way around. And based on how you interpreted my comments and how you reacted to them is a perfect example of how people don't like when others try to make assumptions on why they said something.

I doubt they know or care what a few whiney nerds say on a message board.
Do you mean digitally? I actually asked this on Twitter and apparently in the U.K./Europe if you preorder digitally you will get the theme when the game releases, but unlike in America where preorders get instant access to the theme, in Europe we have to wait until the game releases (I think because unlike in America, we can cancel preorders without payment at any point). I've also read that physically it should be like the Crash preorders too - keyring and theme and avatars - but I've not seen that part confirmed yet.
Wow, my inner child is happily screaming right now! I think it looks amazing!
Man I really like all the redesigns kinda crazy when you think about the other Crash and Spyro redesigns by the same company.
I don't expect them to give a shit, same happened with the crash trilogy where they had the chance to use the full uncompressed songs direct from the OST artist himself and he said they never contacted him once. So they just remixed the ps1 songs to sound slightly different :/

Not even a comparison imo, the pre-console mix has so much more life in it that was taken out when it had to be fitted into the game and the remaster went with the downgrade instead.
Eeeeyup. It doesn't even seem like contacting the composer for the pre-console OST of the OG Crash trilogy would've been an issue, but they just... didn't bother. We've still only heard two songs from Spyro 1, and they do hold the overall mood and feel of the originals, but the quality just isn't there. We'll probably have to accept that the remastered versions' music won't be able to hold up to the originals'. Ah well. =/
Where are you? I'm not sure which stores offered it outside of the UK, but in the U.K. at the shop Game preorders for Crash came with an AkuAku keyring, and code for the PS4 exclusive dynamic themes and avatar set (same as you got for digital preorders), I got them myself.
It hasn't been officially announced but rumour is that it's highly likely Spyro will get the same treatment as a physical preorder bonus. I'm holding off on preordering myself, and crossing my fingers it's true, until I hear for sure.
GameStop Germany have listed the same preorder bonuses as Crash got, so logic says the same will happen in the U.K. too;

U.K. digital preorders on the Playstation store will get the dynamic theme and avatar set on release day alongside the game itself. If you look on the PS store it says under Reignited trilogy;
Pre-order and receive:
- Spyro™ Dynamic theme
- Spyro™ Avatar
US digital preorders on Playstation store can apparently get access to the themes and avatars immediately upon preordering.
Also UK. I pre-order all of my games from ShopTo. Didn't get nothing, must've been GAME exclusive stuff. :( I've also pre-ordered Spyro on ShopTo but I don't think it mentions it, if I get themes and avatars though I might swap to GAME...
Ah I've never used ShopTo, are the prices really good? This (link) was showing what you got for preordering with GameStop in US but was exactly what I got with my Game UK preorder with Crash, so fingers crossed Spyro is similar! Costs £5 to preorder Spyro in a Game store and if you change your mind and cancel your preorder even after the game releases you don't lose your money, you can just put the £5 deposit onto a gift card, or buy a £5 PSN credit with it, or put it towards another game, you just can't get the cash back, if that makes sense. I'm going to put a £5 deposit on and see if preorder bonuses are announced. If no theme and avatars physically I may just get digitally instead because I really want them!!

The design itself isn't bad. But the face is a pretty big departure from the original. I miss the big round eyes and two iconic fangs. That said, it seems to be following a new aesthetic across all Gnorcs, so I'm sure I'll get used to it.
TfB can go to town with the Rynoc designs though. Never found them terribly memorable. Actually, I hope they take as many liberties as possible with most of the major designs. The aesthetics of Elora, Hunter, Ripto etc, aged terribly.

As long as they don't stray too far from my boy Buzz's original design, we good.
I am so stoked to see him in all of his HD glory.
Ok, so im not 100% sold on the design of this mob (who cares?) but the room behind it, one of the first places in the game where you ever glide looks wonderful
I love the art style of this game
^^ I don't think any of the Gnorc designs so far have been that great tbh. I'm not really a fan of their beady eyes and I think that contributes a lot to why they seem so 'off', as their original designs had big, expressive, cartoon eyes.
The only enemies that they've shown that look pretty great to me have been the shepherds and their sheep dogs.
Of course, I'll still play this though lol. But it is kind of a bummer for me, as the Gnorcs and their design/aesthetics in the original Spyro the Dragon is a major thing I like about the game.

Thank god the internet wasn't as prevalent back then,
Today people would riot and whole cities across the nation would need to be put into lockdown.
lol you may have a point.
On the other hand? this is inspired by 'back then' and it is genuinely great
I would happily hang that on my wall
A minigame collection where Crash and Spyro fight each other by throwing molotovs at each other.
First thing i've seen that looks bad, everything else looks great so far but this re-design isn't as good.
The face is far worse and lacks the charm of the original.
Fingers crossed they don't do this often as all the rest is looking great.
I don't care for it much myself. But if this game comes out and the worst complaints we can find are that a few mobs look slightly off? It will be one of the best remasters that I have ever seen
I made the mistake of showing the trailer for this to the wife (she enjoyed the original PSX titles) only to find out it isn't coming to Switch. Whoops.
Finally found a version of the stream without anyone talking over it
It oozes personality and the new version of Spyro looks fantastic in motion. I love the sound of his flame breath.
The egg thieves look better in reality than they did in the concept art.
I would be surprised if we don't get a similar demo to download soon. The fantastic ps1 demo was the entire first home world, but a couple of levels like the E3 demo would work fine
