Yeah and everyone dragon looks so different. Glad I waited for the remake on switch. I remember playing the first 2 on ps1. Back than I wasn't too much into video games until Smash Brothers came by in 99.
The way you said this sounds like 90s was 90 years ago and most people would be dead or too old. Sorry but, most people that played it are still alive and still playing games and they are pretty much used to the graphics nowadays.

I mean, to us who have grown up with the original, the old stuff will always be better bc we grew up with it but that doesn't mean we don't love and appreciate the new. In fact for me at least, it made me realize why I love the series in the first place
@@moonlight_sparkle6659 Exactly, but to be honest I also love old animations for how they are made, I liked how the characters moved "slowly" to express themselves, their movements, added to the old graphics "with that lack of detail" for some reason, for me , they make them more "adorable", it's like if they were plush dolls ..., they seem more naive or innocent I don't know how to explain it well ..., I just know that the new models lost some of that "charisma" is not that they are bad .. (Especially it shows in the professor, I loved the -"no ..., no ..........., AHA !!" and his face with a tiny eye and the other disproportionate just loved those things, "that informality"), obviously all this is very subjective, the new ones are not bad, just lost some magic, IN MY OPINION, ohhh nostalgia ..
To me the Reignited version of the 1st and second game are way more superior, but Spyro 3 not so much due to how glitchy it is. Plus Spyro 3 didn't make the baby dragons anymore unique than the original besides graphically
I don't think they did away with the original feel. They added to it if anything because they added details that the original games just didn't have the hardware for. But these definitely play the same way so I don't get why people say it's different outside of graphical improvements, music instrumentation, and some design changes.
Funny thing is Activision published this trilogy, not Universal Studios like the originals. Universal is terrible and worked Insomniac too hard and it ended up killing Spyro
Babyluther73 actually they WHERE at one point gonna make a Spyro movie....but it was gonna be based on the legend of Spyro trilogy rather then the original...
One little detail I noticed is how some of Spyro’s body language in the remake feels almost dog-like to emphasize his playful nature. Such as how he bends low and raises his tail when he’s excited for a fight.
I hate how the characters in Reingnited cutscenes move so rapidly that it's painfull to watch. Also exaggarated expressions, they do not achieve same emotions as old PSX animators did
"What are you, some kind o' goat?" "I'm a FAUN, you DORK!" "Oh. Sorry." Interesting how the original and remastered versions have different reactions to Spyro's question. Original Elora is insulted, but remastered Elora finds his mistake a bit adorable.
old bianca sounded "evil" in first 2 worlds but seems "kinder" in the remakes the scary thing is they do this to video game and animie carractors all the time...... they also do it to real peaople. can make someone personality change by the dubbing.

Models are usually animated with some sort of skeletal structure, but the models in many early 3D games (Quake and even Crash have the same effect) didn't have bone structures, at least when the models were finalized and in the game. Instead these models are animated by the vertex, which I believe caused a chain reaction with adjacent vertices and made the models wiggle a lot. Texture rendering on the PS1 had a similar effect

Back then they weren't able to do a very good time cut. I think initially hours were supposed to pass before Spyro woke up and realized that Alora was gone. Unfortunately, Toys for Bob didn't think about that and left it the same (despite changing a few other things).
I like how the Reignited remaster of Year of the Dragon had each animal friend in the cages speak before they were freed. In the original, especially as they were locked up and held by Moneybags, they remained stationary.
Nothing wrong with that. And I remember when I was a little kid playing Syphon Filter on my brother's PlayStation being amazed at how realistic the graphics looked at the time.
@@starlingbaez6681 unfortunately I dont have a ps4. I can play the spyro and crash remakes on steam though. Do you know if parrapa the rapper is on steam??
I've never even played either set of spyro games but seeing these cutscenes side by side just makes me so happy! It's amazing to see what they've done without the technical limitations of the time... Also: the sound design shouldn't go without acknowledgement either
I've always felt like there was something almost asmr-like about the original voice acting for Elora. like, I'm not sure if it was the actress or the recording equipment but the subtle little pops on the Ps and Ts were so organic and kinda lovely
Im so glad theres someone else out there who likes this about 2, the loud plosives in the voice clips are one of the specially distinctive things that make me love it.
"You can't even keep track of your running shoes, how can we trust you with 14 talismans?" "I had shoes?!" "Before you go to the castle dungeon Spyro, I thought that you'd might want to know how Ripto and his mosters arrived in Avalar. You see..." "Hunter's fault?" "Um.. yes. Hunter's fault."
I never got a chance to play Spyro when I was younger (I was basically a baby when it came out), but I'm really amazed that I could just recognize some of the voice actors right away. Also yes, there's a STARK CONTRAST between two decades worth of work but it's beautiful. I wish I got to play it when I was younger.
In terms of improvement, I think the best has got to be the endings to 3. I love the new cutscenes as is. They are so adorable with their updated expressions, but 3 has got to be the epitome of cute. Elora and Spyro have some wonderful chemistry and the secret ending is so much better with Spyro interacting more positively with the baby dragons.
Everyone who worked on this game had to know that Reignited had a lot to live up to. While I myself don't have the nostalgia for these games that others do (I only had Ripto's Rage as a kid, bought it because I had money burning a hole in my pocket, but never beat it) I know people, both online and in real life, who could tell you these nice stories about how Spyro defined their childhood and taste in gaming and gush about the memories of these games. But even I can say that Toys for Bob NAILED it. Not only does the game make tons of QOL updates that were sorely needed, not only are the controls as smooth as butter and feel great, not only are the games fun both for casual players and die hard completionists, but these cutscenes...my god. Everything about this game looks and sounds amazing. The actors breathe life into their characters and sound like they're having fun voicing them. The animators made these already charming cutscenes ten thousand times better, and the artists made believable changes to characters. The updates to the character designs, be they as drastic as Sheila's or as basic as Bentley's, look amazing, no one looks out of place. Even the little things like Sargent Byrd waddling, Shelia giving Moneybags the Stink eye while she's in her cage, and the extra details, big or small, in the cutscenes, all of it oozes charm, and you can tell that this is a labor of love. Toys for Bob can hold their heads up high having this game on their resume. It's not perfect, but then, what is a perfect game, and what gives you the right to decide that for everyone else? I am about halfway through Year of the Dragon and I'm having a ball with it. Bravo, Toys for Bob, Bravo. You fine ladies and gentlemen made the game great for both the fans of the original and for newcomers, and that's something worth patting yourself on the back over.
I can also say that I have no nostalgia for the original trilogy I only ever owned a hero’s tail as a kid and I never finished it and later I was prevented from playing past a certain point cause the disk kept freezing.
I always find two things funny where Aussie characters are involved. 1. Sometimes the English VA is just slightly off so it was nice to hear an Australian play an Australian. 2. So often they use Aussie terms that I never hear any Aussies use, for example, wahzoo.
I always try to stay level headed in 'new vs old' and while many games suck really hard with remakes and capturing the tone of the old ones; Spyro Trilogy did a really fine job.
Loved spyro as a kid. The reignited took a different but beautiful approach. One of the few 'remakes' that stayed true to tge original gameplay but reignited it... it was great to see so much detail. But played the same so the memories came back and the appreciation for the new graphics. In this rare instance it's sort of the best of both.
The only one gripe I had was it would have been awesome to see the original end credits and theme with upgraded graphics. Although with the free fly mod available we are able to do so in game :)
>everyone around you freeze into crystals, possibly dead Spyro: "l0oKｓ LiKＥ i'Ve gOt s0Me THiNgS t0 dO." >villain proceeds to ignore the one dragon that got away right in front of his TV view Such cinematic genius. 👏
One thing I’ve noticed: the remaster of the cutscene at 21:59, Ripto’s laughter now echoes as the flags change to reflect his takeover of the castle. Nice touch.
I’ve been a Spyro fan since I can remember. I love these games. I really was blown away by the remake. Despite its amazing quality I still prefer the OG soundtrack and character designs even though they were simpler
Can we talk about how in the original the professor from out of nowhere his glasses were "broken", like that entire scene just made me laugh with how nonsensical it was.
I really miss old Hunter and Bianca though. Hunter used to come off as dumb in a bro way, but the new seems dumber and more of a wimp. And Biana felt sassier an more driven. This one seems more innocent and soft spoken. They aren't bad by any means, I just hold the old ones near and dear bc Year of the Dragon and Enter the Dragonfly were *massive* parts of my childhood.
The comparisons are really nice. Seeing how they improved. It would be cool if the old voice actors were the voice actors for the new version but the animation is spot on!
Just finished Spyro 3 Reignited. Honestly, I kind of now want Toys For Bob to make their own version of Spyro 4 that continues from the third game and ignores the other sequels.
@@Tyrik73 I would like to see them do Spyro A Hero's Tail and Spyro Shadow Legacy and continue where it left off but without the Ember x Bandit ship since it goes nowhere. I like Spyro x Ember and I like Spyro Flame and Ember.
Funnily enough, even though Sheila's new voice actor is actually Australian, unlike her former voice actor, I feel like her old voice sounded more Aussie.
Tom Kenny - Spyro - The Professor - Sgt. James Byrd André Sogliuzzo: Sparx Michael J. Gough: Gnasty Gnorc Gregg Berger - Ripto - Crush & Gulp Richard Tatum: Agent 9 Everyone else (including Hunter) was recasted here
I know this is an old comment, but technically Crush and Gulp didn't have voices in 2, Greg voiced them first in Enter the Dragonfly where they actually spoke English. I'm glad they had him do the grunts for them in Reignited, though. I'm not surprised the rest were replaced. A lot of the actors have become either high in demand, like Neil Ross, or are on the cusp of retiring, like Pamela Hayden.
I find it hilarious that every villain in Spyro is just evil and that’s it but gnasty gnorc just turns dragons into statues just because they called him ugly 😛 11:45 this replaces my nightmares
I love how dynamic the new shadows and light reflections make the game. I needed a bit of time to get the nostalgia goggles off, but good lord is the new game so so beautiful and atmospheric. The only thing I still prefer is the original tomboy look for Sheila. I like the jacket but the hair could have been a short butch cut.
I've played the original so much when I was little that I'd still be okay with playing it with the bad graphics lol I guess it's because I'm so used to it. But the remake looks absolutely amazing and I'm excited to play it on steam.
I feel like some of the line deliveries are better in the original. Like the whole "How do we get into these messes pal?" Line better conveys exasperation than the remakes do.
I really loved Spyro:A hero's tail, but for some reason it's got some fairly low ratings online :/ but the environment design is so nice, and they brought they elders in from the dragon realms, really don't get why
@@lycanknight7184 I also like Spyro A Hero's Tail and I especially like Flame and Ember too and want them back and as playable characters along with their own story modes.
i love how in the reignited version of spyro 2, during the famous "You're a dragon?" "You got a problem with that, PUSSYCAT?!" exchange, hunter gets this absolutely hilarious, extremely offended look on his face and opens his mouth to speak like he was about to rip spyro a new asshole before ripto showed up
The animators need a raise. The movements and facial expressions in the new cutscenes are sublime.
Yeah and everyone dragon looks so different. Glad I waited for the remake on switch. I remember playing the first 2 on ps1. Back than I wasn't too much into video games until Smash Brothers came by in 99.
I know right? And it's on a wide screen TV now so they have MUCH more space to show the animations!

And that takes away a bunch of the appeal. It's like they did away with the feel of the original, and made something different. Not a big fan of that

The remake's cutscenes are so damn good that it makes the old scenes feel weird going back to.
Agreed
Loved spyro as a kid. The reignited took a different but beautiful approach. One of the few 'remakes' that stayed true to tge original gameplay but reignited it... it was great to see so much detail. But played the same so the memories came back and the appreciation for the new graphics. In this rare instance it's sort of the best of both.
The only one gripe I had was it would have been awesome to see the original end credits and theme with upgraded graphics. Although with the free fly mod available we are able to do so in game :)
Bianca is even more Lola Bunny now.
Elora and Bianca look phenomenal. And don't even get me started on Agent 9. Nice job designers.
>everyone around you freeze into crystals, possibly dead
Spyro: "l0oKｓ LiKＥ i'Ve gOt s0Me THiNgS t0 dO."
>villain proceeds to ignore the one dragon that got away right in front of his TV view
Such cinematic genius. 👏
Well, they did say Gnasty Gnorc was a simple creature.
One thing I’ve noticed: the remaster of the cutscene at 21:59, Ripto’s laughter now echoes as the flags change to reflect his takeover of the castle. Nice touch.
The old one just gives me the best childhood vibes
I’ve been a Spyro fan since I can remember. I love these games. I really was blown away by the remake. Despite its amazing quality I still prefer the OG soundtrack and character designs even though they were simpler
51:28 that face tho
Can we talk about how in the original the professor from out of nowhere his glasses were "broken", like that entire scene just made me laugh with how nonsensical it was.
😂😂😂😂
I really miss old Hunter and Bianca though. Hunter used to come off as dumb in a bro way, but the new seems dumber and more of a wimp. And Biana felt sassier an more driven. This one seems more innocent and soft spoken. They aren't bad by any means, I just hold the old ones near and dear bc Year of the Dragon and Enter the Dragonfly were *massive* parts of my childhood.
the originals have their own charm and mystique. The new and the old can't be compared to be honest, just different styles of graphics.
I like how Sheila, Bentley, Sargent Byrd, and Agent 9 torture Moneybags in various ways. I laugh every time!
Seeing these super old graphics threw me through a nostalgia loop. I haven’t played the old games in probably a decade.
I played the game and I freaked out when I heard clem as Bianca’s voice I’m like WAIT IS THAT CLEMENTINE????!!!!! :0000
Whos Clementine?
@@neonshark6972 Telltale games: The Walking dead but I figure you already knew this after 1 month.
isnt it wierd that all adult dragons are...well..male? Where did the eggs even come from?
Maybe it’s similar to penguin breeding, where the men are in charge of the eggs while the female dragons go hunting.
✨magic✨
The comparisons are really nice. Seeing how they improved. It would be cool if the old voice actors were the voice actors for the new version but the animation is spot on!
Sara Herrmann but a lot were the original voice actors
@@michellesimmons2756 really? I didnt know that it's a huge change to be honest!
This is how you do a successful remake of a great game!
The thumbnail is actually one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever seen
6:43
Nobody:
Hunter: 👁️ 👁️
👄
*”WahwahWAH!”*
I love Spyro’s new voice. I also love all the new dragon designs.
Just finished Spyro 3 Reignited. Honestly, I kind of now want Toys For Bob to make their own version of Spyro 4 that continues from the third game and ignores the other sequels.
They need to make it like Spyro 4 was orignally going to be with Gnasty and Ripto working together.
@@Tyrik73
I would like to see them do Spyro A Hero's Tail and Spyro Shadow Legacy and continue where it left off but without the Ember x Bandit ship since it goes nowhere.
I like Spyro x Ember and I like Spyro Flame and Ember.
I actually Sat through the whole thing...neat.
*23:27** His eyes lmaoooo*
Funnily enough, even though Sheila's new voice actor is actually Australian, unlike her former voice actor, I feel like her old voice sounded more Aussie.
i mean having a actual Aussie is better than a impressionist

Everyone else (including Hunter) was recasted here
I know this is an old comment, but technically Crush and Gulp didn't have voices in 2, Greg voiced them first in Enter the Dragonfly where they actually spoke English. I'm glad they had him do the grunts for them in Reignited, though. I'm not surprised the rest were replaced. A lot of the actors have become either high in demand, like Neil Ross, or are on the cusp of retiring, like Pamela Hayden.
it is disgusting just how much charm the reignited trilogy has.
Man...these re-vamp is INCREDIBLE!!!
I find it hilarious that every villain in Spyro is just evil and that’s it but gnasty gnorc just turns dragons into statues just because they called him ugly 😛
11:45 this replaces my nightmares
Animation aside, I’m glad they kept the script more or less the same. That’s always been my favorite part of the games.
19:51: “Gulp will be more than a match for you”
Jfc, you tell me about it. He was right, Gulp’s boss battle is rage inducing.
Wow. She was going to kill all the hatchlings for a spell!?
I’m just picturing Alora saying either “I’m a Phantom Thief you dork” or “I’m an Incubator, you dork” because of her voice actress
😂😂😂😂
“Calm down, Akechi. And stop fidgeting”
mom, after sending me to buy eggs: where's the change?
8 year old me trying to stay cool: 3:15
From Reboot to PIXAR-quality. Showing how far we come with CGI since the 90's.
That eye reducing, growing are the things we imitate in school
1:10:01 I bet they would fall in love the irony
ikr
Lol 😂
They fixed hunter's mouth
Thank god
12:40 Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the meme you've been looking for.
Woah, the graphics literally look like a movie.. the people that animated this are amazing :0
A Dragon? You brought a dragon to avalar? I hate dragons!
Spyro: I hate you more. What's your point?
I read that right as it played
I like the new cutscenes, but I still prefer the originals, they just have so much charm.
The originals are definitely better. Not from a technical standpoint but...
Same I didn’t even grow up with the old games
I love how dynamic the new shadows and light reflections make the game. I needed a bit of time to get the nostalgia goggles off, but good lord is the new game so so beautiful and atmospheric.
The only thing I still prefer is the original tomboy look for Sheila. I like the jacket but the hair could have been a short butch cut.
Sheila just looks like a regular kangaroo in the original. Remake Sheila actually looks like a character in a fantasy world.
Old Spyro VAs be like:
"riPPPto"
"and they sPit fire like this PPPuh PPPuh"
"suPer PPortal technology"
I've played the original so much when I was little that I'd still be okay with playing it with the bad graphics lol I guess it's because I'm so used to it. But the remake looks absolutely amazing and I'm excited to play it on steam.
The graphics of those games still look nice there's PS1 games that aged worse
I like their graphics too but I'm enjoying the remake a lot
Those graphics were some of the best on the PS1
I feel like some of the line deliveries are better in the original. Like the whole "How do we get into these messes pal?" Line better conveys exasperation than the remakes do.
Agreed
Wow, the originals really had some funky fuckin basslines holy shit
I like how the bunny looks less evil in the remastered.
I really love the remastered version especially the animations and little details
Why!?
I hope they do a spyros a hero's tail remastered one day
OMG YES!!!!
I really loved Spyro:A hero's tail, but for some reason it's got some fairly low ratings online :/ but the environment design is so nice, and they brought they elders in from the dragon realms, really don't get why
@@lycanknight7184
I also like Spyro A Hero's Tail and I especially like Flame and Ember too and want them back and as playable characters along with their own story modes.
"i'M a FaWn, YoU DoRk."
that line delivery couldn't be more opposite in these versions. one says "AY FUCK OFF" the other "luv u2 uwu" like what broooo 😂
9:45 Zoe the fairy is surly brave enough to get rid of Ripto's scepter
i love how in the reignited version of spyro 2, during the famous "You're a dragon?" "You got a problem with that, PUSSYCAT?!" exchange, hunter gets this absolutely hilarious, extremely offended look on his face and opens his mouth to speak like he was about to rip spyro a new asshole before ripto showed up
I'm really loving the little details in the reignited version.
