Were the redesigns in Reignited too drastic?

I actually just 100%'d it speaking of which, like 5 seconds ago.
The reward is cool but useless. (infinite superflame)

>the genuine hurt in his eyes when he hears "ugly"

I fucking loved this remake.

It carries over if you start a new save file so you can play through again with it.

They don't share the same developer so both are possible

Gnasty Gnorc is one of us

Okay, here's the real question
Did the Dragon redesigns Reignited did really inspire that MUCH porn Yea Forums feared it would bring?

Sheila is way better, and honestly I don't hate Elora's new look, but I do think they could have done a little better.
Poor guy just wanted a little love sent his way

They made the rabbit even more fuckable.

It was literally furry/barra bait. Complete garbage redesigns but everyone will say they're good because, well, /v is full of furries and gays now.

Both are definitely possible, I'm just having a harder time picturing Spyro 4 expanding in a meaningful way. Later Crash games had good IDEAS that can be revisited, but the post Insomniac games are largely regarded as garbage

Although I guess a dragon villain is a good start.

Something something, they'll shoe-horn Cynder

There are ideas that can be improved upon. Different breaths and puzzles that make extensive use of them. Larger spaces to glide about and search for hidden areas, too.

I hope not. Elora>Cynder.

If she is in, I'd prefer she have a sisterly relationship with Spyro

I'm not a furry, but you can't deny they're good designs.
Don't let the obnoxious retards get to you.

Do you trust Toys for Bob enough to make a completely original Spyro game after Reignited?

I didn't inspire enough. Magnus should have a whole 10 pages of porn but he doesn't because fags have bad taste.

How many pages does he have?
Who has the most pages?

Absolutely, some of them were just outright garbage. At least the bunny looked nice.

Based Gnasty BTFOing the (((Dragon))) media

Honestly, Ripto's original design reminds me of Barney

He barely has one on like every website. Bubba has the most (probably because he was one of the first "hot" deisgns shown).

Yeah, new one FEELS more like an actual villain

Funny how Yea Forums wouldn’t shut the fuck up about the remakes for a year up to their release, and after playing them the general consensus is that they’re pretty great

Reminds me of that fucking fetish Sonic fan comic, Burlington or whatever the fuck

The only one that looked off was Elora and that's because they gave her a cleft lip and buck teeth.

So seeing how Sonic twitter has referenced CWC, will Spyro twitter reference Subway?

What the hell is Ripto anyway?
Is he some sort of dinosaur? Like the ones that eat the cavemen in Skelos Badlands?

Dinosaur yes
One of the later games mentions that Ripto being a sorcerer is impressive since Dinosaurs and Magic don't mix

So how long until Activision fucks up everything again?

They have to fuck up Crash first user.

This. For some reason they made the other fauns look 10x cuter but not Elora.

Yup.

yes

they fucked up lara croft mouse by not giving her monster honkers like she had in the OG spyro game!

Seeing how Vicarious Visions has shown to be capable of making original levels
I'm sure Crash will be fine unless Activision rushes them or goes full Jew

Whoring himself to Disney by havin a world in Kingdom Hearts.

Some redesigns are good, some are bad.
2 has a lot of bad ones, including Ripto.

Voice acting is worse.
Flying stages are a lot worse.
Spyro 3 is ruined

Yet furries don't care and go back to drawing Renamon.

How bad will his redesign be?

>Spyro 3 is ruined
How so?

Activision hates cartoony platformers and are convinced that no one cares about Spyro and Crash. Selling well doesn't mean anything, they still want them dead.

I'm honestly aghast that Yea Forums is so supportive of Crash and Spyro now.
You'd think that despite it being multiplat, the threads would be nothing but consolewarriors rambling about the PS1/N64 gen, comparing the games to SM64, pointless shitflinging about the Activision titles or the soul/souless meme being milked dry.

Is this why they have been making Skylanders games for years?

consolewar shitters aren't even old enough to shitpost about the PS1/N64 era

Yeah well you can barely have a 16-bit era thread without them.

They’ve actually said with Spyro and Crash that they’re ‘franchise revivals’ and that they’ll be flagship series going forward. Besides, it’s Activision company policy that they release at least one kids game per year, and with TfB, VV and Beenox they’ve set up a trio of studios to put out one game a year like with their three Call of Duty studios.

>a trio of studios to put out one game a year like with their three Call of Duty studios.
pls no, don't rape them like this, just mercy kill them

I think he meant in rotation
Like a new Crash every three years and between those gaps a new Spyro and something else

SE isn't bringing back Gex

That's the best way to do it. Crash and Spyro are the kind of games where it's extreme easy for them to wear out their welcome. Just have it Crash-Spyro-Spinoff three year loop.

Reminder that by the end of Insomniac's run they had difficulties coming up with new ideas and felt limited by Spyro himself
To paraphrase them "He didn't even have hands to grab things with"

>You can't like theses designs I dislike!
Grow up.

I mean, people brought back SEGA vs PS1 for CTR vs TSR

user it means that they put out one game a year but each game has three years of dev time.

>Dude just wanted to be loved and Spyro kills him

user it means each game gets a full three year dev cycle. Vicarious Visions puts out a new Crash every three years, Toys for Bob puts out a new Spyro every three years and Beenox puts out a new spinoff every three years, all times so that one releases each year and none of them are rushed.

What kind of spin offs can they do that aren't racing?

I wish the Sorceress looked more like her concept art as opposed to the cartoony model we actually got. I know people wouldn't like that because it would be unfaithful but it would be one creative liberty that would have been cool. Unlike Gnasty and Ripto who were fun and comedic villains, having her look absolutely grotesque would have been a nice contrast given her depraved personality. Hell, even keeping the model the same as it is but having her looks fade into pic related the more she reveals her unhinged nature as Spyro's incessant meddling needles at her psyche would have been unironic kino. Even her voice was goofier unlike how raspy and sinister it was in the original and that was honestly quite a disappointment. Other than that, Ripto and Gnasty were perfect.

The new Ripto has character. The old one looked like a bad Muppet. I don't see the damn problem.

maybe in 20 years, we don't have computers strong enough to match those renders in real time

>now

Wasn't Year of the Dragon handled by a different team?

>Voice acting is worse.
I straight-up don't believe you.

Crash bash bebbeh

I owned Crash Bash and I fail to see why anyone would want it brought back.

The Sorceress was always in a weird place as a character. She was basically just a second Ripto without the charm. Spyro 3 was always in a weird place as a game, though, really. I don't remember much about it that really stood out, other than the rabbit that looks like Elizabeth Mitchell's fursona.

Here's my big thought - let's say Spyro never came out for PS1, it never existed, and we got the first game's remaster as a brand new IP in the current era. Would it have been as successful?

They look fine in the concept art but the outsourced-to-India 3D designers working on the remaster fucked up a bunch of shit so it just looks really fucking bad.
Look at concept art Elora, very different sure but pretty good iteration of the character. In-game though, she just looks extremely bad and toysforbob should be very ashamed that they cut corners on development.

>unless activision does what activision always does
welp

Absolutely not.

>the outsourced-to-India 3D designers
Can you prove they did this?

everything in 3 looked too different

Next time you watch the credits pay attention to the names

I was using it as a description of how incompetent they were but funny thing is that a lot of things actually were outsourced to other companies, Spyro 3 reignited was apparently done completely outsourced if you watch the credits and see other companies be credited for that specific game.

Reminder Gnasty Gnorc did NOTHING wrong.

Spyro 3 honestly doesn't deserve their attention but that was still a shitty thing to do

After Skylanders?
Not really.

Yes, Sanzaru Games lead development

The thing is, Activision wanted jt out by Christmas after Crash hit it big. But the Spyro games are a LOT more intricate and involved than Crash. Crunch was inevitable. Really, it's amazibg it's as good as it is

Activision is a fucking cancer

Fucking hate rip in this game. I prefer old spyro, same with crash.

Hell, she never got to exchange banter like Spyro and Ripto did. The only times she and Spyro are even in the same place are the two boss battles. And those battles were kinda shit thanks to the crappy turrets/UFO

It helped me with some of the skill points.

How long was Reignited in development?

The redesign is objectively better in every way

Why did they get Snoop of all people to promote it?

This. I'm glad he's apparently coming to CTR.

Maybe a little but I really think the environmental design was a bigger problem.

Honestly this. Characters were fine and if not based on anything prior were pretty good designs.
Except Elora, why the fuck did they not have a proper look at the model of a key character and make sure they had proper turn arounds.
The environments ranged from beautiful to lazy and just plain meh.

I kinda wish we could switch between graphics ala halo remastered. Just oisha button and it fades to the old graphics. That would have been really nice.

I don't think it's really known, but it's clear the games were rushed. Bugs were more numerous as the games progressed, and the first shows the most amount of polish and love. Still, in their released state all three games are impressive for what's almost certainly a rush job of maybe just over a year of work.

Yeah some Indian dudes.

Nitro Fueled did it right. Look at the new characters compared to the N Sane trash (Though Pinstripe looked alright)

>But shitty PS1 models!

>when you spend 2 hours trying to break that fucking door
I miss being good at video games. It certainly feels like the older I get, the worse I am at games like Spyro and Crash.

I've brought this up a few times but I want to offer more examples. What if the elemental breaths were used as a way to add more out-of-the-box thinking when it came to beating enemies. Like, at the top of my head...

>Enemies that are covered head to toe in armor would require wetting the ground with water breath causing them to fall over, exposing their rears.
>Using elements like electricity only gives enemies like robots more juice or flaming fire enemies makes them more powerful.
>Some enemies would require using a combination of breaths like dousing them with water only to electrocute them after.
>Other enemies would required repeated attacks. Ex: an out of reach enemy that stands atop a giant snowball which would need multiple flame breaths to melt in order to reach him.

I can't think of any others but could something like this be the next logical step to adding onto the Spyro formula? I could also imagine something like this used for puzzle-like bosses.

Redesigned Ripto is god tier. As much as I loved playing the original, he always looked like a non-threatening dingus. At least now he looks villainous

I have a hunch it was during N Sane's development or after it came out and its sales convinced Activision to publish platformers in full force
