Spyro Reignited Trilogy Review - a gorgeous remaster that's a little too faithful - Eurogamer

From Eurogamer: "It's 9 o'clock on a Sunday evening, and after what feels like hours of grinding, I'm seconds from throwing down my controller in absolute disgust. It's all due to a toad: an irritating, wretched toad that won't stop rolling around in all its remastered splendour over the TV screen - and my poor purple dragon. This, of course, is a boss fight in the remastered version of Spyro: Year of the Dragon, and like the rest of the trilogy, the aging mechanics make you suffer. But god does it look and feel wonderful."

They’re not remasters they're a remakes

chris2352391d ago

i hated this dragon sprite back then and still i will not pay for and play this violet thingy. it is beyond me who finds this thing appealing

Profchaos2391d ago (Edited 2391d ago )

Obviously enough people to warrant a studio to develop a remake of 3 twenty year old gams from the ground up with no source code

Lynx02072391d ago

Spyro The Dragon was the game I bought Playstation for (in 2000). It is (as a trilogy) in my top 5 games ever, even now. There is no such thing as "too faithful". If it is the same game with this gen graphics, that is everything I wanted.

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.

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 Fingers201d 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.

Lightning77201d 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.

InUrFoxHole201d ago

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

The_Hooligan200d 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.

InUrFoxHole199d ago

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

DivineHand125201d ago (Edited 201d 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.

Profchaos201d ago (Edited 201d 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.

MWH945d 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
