Spyro Reignited Trilogy Devs on How to Capture What Fans Want in Spyro's Return

Spyro the Dragon is officially returning this fall thanks to the Spyro Reiginited Trilogy collection, and IGN has your full breakdown of the first look at the game.

Alongside the announcement of the trilogy, coming to both Xbox One and PS4 later this year, IGN spoke to Toys for Bob's Paul Yan and Joshua Nadelberg about development of the trilogy.

Wonder how they'll top Coco being a playable character in the Crash N Sane Trilogy.

FallenAngel19842629d ago

Why would they need an adjacent feature? Coco was a clone of Crash gameplay wise so it was easy to implement just with different animations.

No other recurring character in the Spyro series played like him in the original trilogy

-Foxtrot2629d ago

I didn't say they needed it I was just saying how they would...jeez

It was a nice little extra

ryuuzakibjorn2629d ago

I mean, if they wanted to blow our minds... How about Crash himself? Now that would be neat. Improbable but a fun thought.

PhoenixUp2629d ago

After butchering Spyro in the public eye since 2011’s Skylanders, it’s fitting that Toys for Bob of all developers saw to it to deliver the Spyro that fans have grown to love with none of the BS.

If Skylanders has to be put on indefinite hold or has to go dormant so they can focus on the future of Spyro than so be it.

-Gespenst-2629d ago

They seem like they mean well, but I just want confirmation that the games will have the same soundtracks. I hope the music in this video and in the trailer isn't representative of the actual soundtrack. Surely they wouldn't change the soundtrack though, right?

Also, and I've said this elsewhere, the game kind of looks like Skylanders. Everything is really chunky and rubbery looking, and seems to have been stripped of it's subtle Asian style. If you look at the originals, everything was much more elegant looking. I don't know why they changed the visual style so much.

just remixed songs or remastered. To be fair they can't use the original tracks if I remember correctly, the music in spyro games weren't properly looped making songs end and restart. I really hated that it didn't loop properly

Nothing but joy and excellency for us on Gamepass!

Top of the line remake from 2018 you could have picked up for under 5 bucks.

I'm serious though games awesome and was a highlight in a very packed year but let's not overstate it's value 6 years on.

Lightning77217d ago

I wonder why they're doing slow roll out of ABK stuff? It's been a year I wonder why the slow roll out.

Fishy Fingers217d ago

I'm sure it'll slowly get added. Its constant content they can add and I imagine in the hopes it will get people to maintain their sub. Drop it all in one chunk might boost numbers for a bit but unlikely to keep people long term.

Lightning77217d ago

Similar to Bethesda stuff. They release the full slate on GP and I guess it didn't do as well for them. I'm hoping they're remastering the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games as well as others.

InUrFoxHole217d ago

Never played the series. Gonna give it a go. GP is a great service.

The_Hooligan216d ago

I played the original trilogy on my cousin's PS1 back in the day and they were amazing games. I picked up the remake last year when it was on sale on PSN but haven't gone back yet. But if this is your first time playing it, you will have a great time.

InUrFoxHole215d ago

Jesus. I remember the ps1. I remember being baffled by how something so powerful could fit in that little console lol

DivineHand125217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

Good for persons who are subscribed to the game pass, but will it be 30 fps, or is it getting a boost?

I bought the game on PS4 but stopped because the game offered little to no challenge. I dropped it and picked it up again on PS5 a few months ago. That was when I realized that it was locked to 30 fps and uninstalled it.

It would be great if Microsoft could find some way to release an update to set both Spyro and Crash Team racing to 60 fps and beyond.

Profchaos217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

It seems unlikely that it would get further enhancements at this stage a 2018 release that was already enhanced for the one X native 4k from memory. Also the animation work and motion blur used did slot to make the 30fos gameplay feel responsive and smooth to its credit compared to other 30fps games with significantly worse input lag like yooka laylee which iirc on PS4 pro felt horrible to play with a control delay vs the PC which felt snappy.

If you stopped because of the lack of challenge I don't think 60 will suddenly change the way you play it games extremely simple and was built around a early 3d exploration framework that targeted families so difficulty was quite low

Hasn't this been on gamepass for a while now

*Sigh*

Sometimes it's hard being a Spyro fan. Yeah, i really really really want Spyro 4. Crash Bandicoot got a 4th one, its only fair.

MWH961d ago

Nothing is guaranteed in this life, so don't wait on anything.

This is what happens when Toys For Bob gets pushed to help develop COD
