You are wrong about the camera. In original trilogy the camera could be set to active or passive. You would turn it left or right by using R1/L1 or R2/L2. Pressing R1+L1 or R2+L2 would center the camera.

Its Spyro the Dragon; if you were a fan of the originals this is for you, or if you have children and want to play a charming and fun game with them. If you're new to the series, they are not particularly difficult platform games and feature some side games like gliding challenges and Skateboarding. There is also an option to play the original soundtrack if you prefer it. However keep in mind that only the 1st game is on disc while the other 2 require you to download them, so be aware for those with poor internet.

[@Cloudx7strife]

And in the original Spyro 1 (at least) you can actually rotate the camera wit L1 and R1. But he may have had it on auto center.

[@thexyayxmaker]

I would've liked there to be a system where you can turn back and forth between new and old graphics like in Halo CEA and Halo 2 Anniversary. Though, I am so excited to revisit one of my first gaming experiences. There's so much nostalgia in this.

[@piolo1023]

That's what I wanted! I was tweeting TOB so much for this but I know it would've taken them a while to do that

[@ComradeDragon1957]

I think the problem with that is that Im pretty sure the old and new graphics use two different engines. Not sure how it would work if you tried that with two different engines. Halo has used the same engine for years,just modified and updated. I could be wrong though.

[@jose501504]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@thekenjistream8683]

They actually lost the original source code. And since they're now using Unreal Engine, it would have been too hard and annoying to reproduce the original graphics

[@hunterofhunters1326]

i think it depends on if you played with the original ps1 controller (without analog sticks) or the dualshock 1 (with analog sticks) i think, not sure

[@jacobschmidt3795]

@@hunterofhunters1326 No you could always rotate the camera with the triggers, it would just recenter itself on Spyro if you left it alone for a few seconds. so yes you had more than enough camera control to work and be fun (Personally I kinda like using the triggers cause it means my right thumb is freed from the stick)

[@rustedyoda7339]

@@jacobschmidt3795 you can use the triggers in the new remastered spyro aswel, there's a control option in the menu that changes the flame breath and auto center button (L2-R2) to the old shcool camera controls for that retro feel(you can still use the right stick to control the camera in this mode) personally i use the new controls as the camera is one of the main reason to play this version also the auto center button is still pretty useful as the "active camera" option is still quite bad tbh, when ever i charge the camera struggles to keep up with me unless i hold that button, well that and the 60fps on pc. but none the old school camera is there for people who wanna use it

[@jacobschmidt3795]

@@rustedyoda7339 Yeah I suppose the new camera would be a major reason to play the new one, for me though the games were really good without an analog camera so it feels kind of odd (however I actually used both control schemes at once when I played) idk about you but when I was simply running around I would stick with the triggers (unless I wanted to look up or down while running) actually being able to look up or down while moving is the main advantage I suppose lol. So I'm assuming you've played the originals right? Does it bother you how they messed up the swimming and flight physics? Like when you swim in the remake you drift all over the place and its all slippery, whereas in the original Spyro didn't drift around he pretty much stopped in place wherever you wanted (which just felt more fun and responsive) And the new flight isn't as bad, Spyro does drift just like the new water physics but at least he's flying in a wide open area for the most part so it doesn't feel as bad to control

[@rustedyoda7339]

@@jacobschmidt3795 the flying and swimming are worse, but i never did enjoy the flight levels anyways. and water isn't that bad. it's only slightly worse,the charge is what feels bad, i only use it when i need to break something open or need to go fast to get somewhere. other then that i just hold x on my controller to "jog" through the water. maybe it would be harder to move around at lower fps? idk i play pc and it's pretty smooth in the water, but water levels in spyro where never my favorite ether way and i'd usually stick away from water (other then to collect gems and go through if i need to) the thing that bugs me the most about the new spyro is the nerfed gliding. i wouldn't call it useless but it's really only used to make certain occasional jumps or fly across a level to get to a hidden spot, i also find myself having to use the "hover" move WAY more then the originals just to make simple jumps that should be able to make without. i know about the double jump in ripo's rage and i'm not comparing it to that, but even the regular jump -then glide is just pathetic tbh. when i played these games as a kid. that was literally my favorite part of spyro. being able to just kinda fly around the place. land and with a simple jump be back in the air for another 3-4 seconds, now you jump, glide about 8 feet then land, it's slower too i noticed.(slower then just "jogging" normally) so i end up rarely using it anymore, it's more of a gimmic now then a main mechanic. it just feels off you know?

[@connorplays6263]

"The Original games didn't have camera controls" Me: *using L2 and R2 to move the camera left and right* ... did this guy even play the original games (And before you say "Oh but he said you could" I rewatched the video And I did not hear once him ever saying that)

I think it's a real shame that people are getting upset about the games not all being on the disc. They're three HUGE games.

I agree bub, especially when it came to the variety of enemy styles back in the day.

That said, at least there's concept art comparisons to the OG games to appreciate.

I just finished watching this whole video and I've already forgotten almost everything that was said except for: - Mario World on the N64 - You can't control the camera on the PS1 versions (which is just plain wrong by the way) - The game looks good and the level design is good Literally nothing else of note was actually said in the video. You just waffled on about nothing important or relevant to this game. You didn't talk about how only one game is on disc, or how the game controls in comparison to the originals, or how the remastered soundtrack sounds. You've provided barely any information that would help someone decide on whether or not to make the purchase.

I think the thing that truly defines this as a great remake for me is how queasy I get playing Spyro. I had headaches as a kid playing Spyro, this has been the only title/series that gave me this effect. Even with some of the most brain splintering headaches I still powered through the game collecting all the orbs and eggs. Having them again now as an adult, it definitely brings me back to those days. 10/10, must buy for anyone who's ever played the PS1 titles. And if you're like me, you'll need a handful of painkillers to complete the game haha.

[@RokushoTheRavager]

Oh man I can totally relate. I used to play Spyro: Enter the Dragon like all day when I was like 6 just to see how far I could get because I didn’t have a memory card, and twice I managed to make it to the 5th area only to not be able to complete it because it was bedtime. Another time I managed to beat Gnasty Gnorc, but fuck me was my head throbbing by then. Talk about a speed running I used to play through Enter the Dragon & Ripto’s Rage and run through each area as fast as possible to reach the next point I could never make it to because I didn’t have a memory card and it would always be bedtime. Needless to say I played through all three games a lot, but they just simply never got bored for me and eventually I managed to not only reach 100% (110% on YOTD), but I’ve done so about 3-4 times on each game. Hell I even still own my original copies.

When I was a kid, my second console ever was a PS1. My first game on the PS1 was Spyro: Year of the Dragon. I played that game to death. There came a time when it never left my ps1. For almost a year. I just couldn’t stop. I’d beat it... then get a big itch to go back to sunrise spring. So I figured why not start a new game? Nothing left in that file. ... I wasn’t the brightest kid sometimes. But yeah, I never played Spyro 1 or 2. Then I saw the reignited trilogy and almost lost my shit. Reliving a massive nostalgia trip with updated graphics and controls, and also finally being able to play 1 and 2? Fuck yeah! Spyro 3 was a big part of my childhood. I’m glad I get to go through it again at 25 years old.

[@chrisstanley9477]

I had a ps1 without a memory card so always replayed year of the dragon over and over it got to a point where I would finish the whole game in one sitting or I'd pause the game overnight I loved my childhood 😂

[@spyrotlh2003]

I played this game when I was young. it was my most favorite series and spyro was by far my most favorite game character of all time. getting the reignited trilogy really allowed me to remember the original games as they were and just looking back, this game stays true to the original and the design of spyro is almost the exact same. the design for the dragons in the first game really works well to be honest compared to the original game and the personality the game devs put into them tops it off. honestly, I believe that some things could have been different but that isn't such a big deal with me. its nice to see people enjoying this immortal classic. I just really hope that this game does not get forgotten in the future. I will NEVER throw out my copy of the reignited trilogy and my memories of playing the original games will stay with me forever.

[@VodkaVodoka]

I totally disagree with your points about the camera. Firstly, during GC and PS2 era the second analog stick very quickly cemented itself as camera stick. Just look at Super Mario Sunshine, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter and so many others that were released way before RE4. And well, RE4 was over-the-shoulder third-person shooter, so it's not like they needed a way to control the camera, it was always in same place. Secondly, Spyro games were designed around player not being able to control the camera, not being able to do that really isn't that big of a deal, kinda like for longest time Zelda games were designed around player not being able to jump freely.

[@berrysodaa]

The original 3 Spyro games are among my favorite video games ever created and when i found out they were creating remakes of the games i was beyond excited, saying that i didn't actually buy Reignited on release!

[@linknsonic]

I am afraid that whenever you mentioned not being able to move the camera in the original games, you were wrong. L2 and R2 are used to move the camera on the original games. This is also the case if you use the retro control scheme on the reignited trilogy. If you played the original games without moving the camera then you wouldn't get very far. So have you even played the original games ?

[@ironpro7217]

But the original ps1 controller doesn't have L/R 2. You had to buy a dualshock to be abke to move the camera. Edit: I'm thinking of L/R 3

[@ObsoleteMule]

fire blaze games Yep this might've been an oversight or just plain lack of enthusiasm for making this video. In Town Square from the original, the first dragon you free will tell you without saying camera that you can use the shoulder buttons to get a good look around the level: "Welcome to Town Square, Spyro. Begin exploring by heading to that area with the bulls, use the L2 and R2 buttons to get a good look" - original message Nice spot, I did use the retro control scheme too to see what that was. Another question of something I don't get: why in the reignited control scheme does R2 make Spyro flame? Seems redundant, of course everyone who bought the originals will use the circle button to flame and that is flame too. I guess they wanted every button to do something, I dunno.

[@kevinchappell8322]

Spyro was the first game I ever played on PS2 and this remaster hits all the right nostalgic notes. Not super hard, but if you try to 100% all the games it turns into a pretty hearty feat that remains fun throughout your play through.

I never played the original games, but I bought the Reignited Trilogy after having heard so many great things about it. Haven't completed the first game yet in the trilogy, but it's simply wonderful and very charming. It's a relaxing platformer that's absolutely stunning to look at. I can't help 100 percenting every level here because it's just so damn enjoyable to explore the place and find that last batch of gems that you've probably missed. Several levels are easy to complete 100% but others certainly offer more of a challenge. It's one of those games that is perfect to play for a couple of hours or three after a long day. The enemies and platforming don't prove much of a challenge so far (still only playing the first game - it may change) but it's extremely enjoyable charging, burning and gliding your way through these levels. This is definitely worth the asking price which is well below a full priced game. Gem of a game this one.

[@kathena2377]

I played all of the older versions of the Spyro games, and my favorite Spyro game is still Spyro: A New Beginning. Soooo excited to play this one when I get it for Christmas!

[@Hynotama]

I wouldn’t say this has a good sense of direction. Actually I don’t think it has one at all. But I do believe that this is exactly the point. It was a deliberate choice. While Crash is all about conquering obstacles on a straight line, this is all about the exploration. If I were to make a comparison, Crash would be an obstacle course and Spyro would be a playground. It’s actually genius if you think about it. EDIT: The fact that these games aren’t complex is actually one of the best things about them. Complex games are great and all but sometimes you just want something simple, intuitive and fun. I can’t tell you how sick I am of games that get more and more complicated or skill trees or bayonetta type games. Sometimes you want to pick up a game and just play a few of the post story challenges, especially if you didn’t complete them before but you can’t cause you’re rusty and you have to spend time learning the game again which is not what you wanted in the first place. For example you boot up Devil May Cry 4 and go into the bloody palace but you don’t remember the combos. Or you want to play some combat challenges in Arkham City but you’re used to the control scheme of Arkham Knight, you don’t remember the gadgets shortcuts and you just don’t have that rhythm that you used to have. Point is it’s a REALLY nice change of pace. It’s also more accessible. Maybe even to people that are new to video games.
