Gulp’s Overlook was my absolute favourite track. I was around 10 yrs old and would repeatedly fight Gulp just so I could listen to that soundtrack. I’m 31 now and couldn’t be happier with this remake. This is still my absolute favourite track from all the Spyro OSTs.
They actually rearranged it. Considering that the original was just stock music with some added stuff, I'm geniunely surprised. And it's mag-fricking-nificent.
Game composers today should learn to rearrange these stuff like he did, so they won't waste any money on reusing those type of stock music over and over and over again.
Imagine the people playing this trilogy for the first time. They just finished the first Spyro and its pathetic bosses. Then they faced Crush, who put up a lot more of a fight, but was still easy. AND THEN THIS GUY.
You don't have to remember, as I sorta did that. Though Jacques and gnasty were tricky for me because I've only played enter the dragonfly before I got the reignited trilogy and I had problems with platforming.
yyyyyyup... i never had the original spyro trilogy as a kid (i mostly played crash bandicoot), so getting reignited was my first time ever playing the first three spyro games, and... holy fucking shit, gulp was such a pain in the fucking ass. fuck him. him and the god damned double dragon level in 3. fuck both of those in particular.
Hi! I tried Spyro the dragon for the first time in the reignited trilogy and yeah the bosses were pathetic! I was actually super happy to see bosses that are that difficult, I still haven’t played Spyro 3 but I can say that “Gulp’s overlook” is the best boss battle I’ve ever played in a platformer!
Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya? Me: How tough am I? I beat Gulp w/o getting hit! Yeah, so? Me: W/o the superflame powerup and while barely dodging his attacks. Right this way sir.
@@Thesaurus_Rex Camera was a big problem. It's pretty easy eventually though, just run around in small circles when he shoots at you. The lightning attacks always aim slightly in front of you.
"Gulp, finish him off and you can have all the fairies you can eat! I'm going to enjoy this..." When the cutscene ended before that line I felt sad, only to feel joy again as he says it at the start of the fight in-game. For some reason, I actually kinda prefer it that way.
Wow, this sounds really cool. I couldn't pay attention to the music when playing the game because THIS LEVEL IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE IN REIGNITED. In the original, you fought Gulp. In Reignited, you fight the camera.
Literally HOURS left for a remaster I've been waiting for, for over a DECADE This is my favourite track of Spyro 2 and I had to spoil myself slightly to see if they did this track justice and.... oh my god did they deliver!!!
I always loved that in Spyro 2/3 they somehow mixed horrifying tunes with blood-boiling ones so you're in awe and ready to kick ass at the same time and it freaking works. And Reignited turned it up to 11
You can tell they wanted to really make this track excellent considering the average player would likely be stuck battling Gulp for a while so they figured give them an excellent composition to enjoy and leviate some of the stress (Honestly the boss tracks in Spyro 2 are all phenomenal).
Getting the perfect skill point for this level had to be the hardest thing in the entire remaster. Also kudos to them for getting me to not switch to the original music here !
I love the slower part starting at 1:24 If it included the "main melody" bit from 0:48 (also slowed for the new tempo) at 1:57 it would have been perfect.
My only real gripe with this fight is that Gulp's animations didn't have the weight that the original did. It felt like every lunge forward or every movement of the body, head and shoulders had immense power behind it. His bellowing at the pterosaurs felt ominous and primordial. Now Gulp has a chubbiness to his movements instead of the juggernaut motions of old. Everything else, including the difficulty spike, was absolutely excellent though.
You singed my cape Dragon! You are really starting to get on my nerves! Gulp, finish him off and you can have all the fairies you can eat. I'm going to enjoy this!
Gulp doesn't have much in the way of competition at all given that all of Spyro 1's bosses were jokes and Spike got nerfed into the ground for the Reignited trilogy.
"Gulp, we've finally made Avalar ours! You've earned a *special* reward." "Gulp? What is it, boy? Oh, the fairy... Here you go! BWAH!!" "You've singed my cape! Dragon - you are *REALLY STARTING* to get on my nerves! Say goodbye, flame breathe! Gulp; lunch time!" "Gulp - finish him off - and you can have all the Faries you can eat. I'm going to enjoy this!" EDIT: I've played this game too much.
it's used in many things, but most infamously from cyberchase because they use it nearly episode whenever Hacker's nearby. since most people watched that as kids, we just automatically associate the song with cyberchase lol
Gulp was, in my opinion, a really tough boss compared to Crush and Ripto I haven't played Spyro 3 yet, but so far, Gulp takes the cake for toughest boss I've faced (that doesn't run away from you, I'm looking at you Gnasty and the Key Thieves)
Hey guys do you think they should remaster spyro enter the dragonfly and spyro a hero's tail and add them that would be like 5 games in one as a dlc near future?
@@xgundamasterx7987 No, no, heck no, and AW HEWW NAW! That Enter the Dragonfly game was a rushed, glitchy piece of junk... Now, if they actually took the time to FINISH it before remastering it, that would be an entirely new thing. For instance, Apparently Moneybags was supposed to make numerous appearances, before FINALLY getting over his Gem obsession and returning everything he swindled from Spyro. ... He would then admit to seeking fold now.
They should have used the actual sample. Ive been watching old South Park lately and they use the sample from this a couple times and they use the same sample as the first couple seconds of fireworks factory multiple times per episode. I get a kick out of stuff like this. Or the fact that all sorts of businesses (and South Park, too, actually) use the font Lithograph, which is the HUD/Portal font from the original trilogy. Now they're avoiding stuff like this, but it's more annoying than anything. It cheapens the experience.
@@superlombax1561 If you knew what mastering actually meant you wouldn't have written that. Nobody asked them to remake the music from scratch. The original soundtracks were already CD quality or very near so. Even the few that were noticeably compressed have been found uncompressed on demo and beta disks - and that's assuming neither Activision nor Stewart Copeland have access to the original masters, which they probably do.
@@ErdrickHero he meant arranged.. But yeah no one pretty much wants the actual reused sample theme, it won't be fit to the style of this game their "updated orchestral" nature to modern games now. I think legacy music is an option here though in case ppl do prefer the original songs...

I only played spyro 1 on ps1 and I bought Reignited recently. I must admit, this was the only level in Spyro 2 that was really difficult for me.
That was me.
I figured his attack pattern out eventually, but until I did, Gulp was definitely the hardest boss I had faced in a long time.

Awesome OST for a ridiculously difficult boss, I swear the original Gulp fight was easier.
It was. They greatly increased his turn speed, and made his lightning attack much more accurate. Probably the hardest Reignited boss in my opinion.
@@Thesaurus_Rex
Camera was a big problem. It's pretty easy eventually though, just run around in small circles when he shoots at you. The lightning attacks always aim slightly in front of you.
They made Spike a lot easier in the Reignited Trilogy, too. It's like they switched the difficulty between the two bosses.
@@launched_ Zig-zagging is also a good tactic to use.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639
Yeah, that too, in case you wanna actually get somewhere.
"Gulp, finish him off and you can have all the fairies you can eat! I'm going to enjoy this..."

Agreed, it's fitting with the Ratchet & Clank vibe the remake gives.
And berries second.
GULP LUNCH TIME!!!!!!!!!!
Gulp, finish him off and you can have all the fairies you can eat! I'm going to ENJOY this!
What does lunch time mean
Wow, this sounds really cool. I couldn't pay attention to the music when playing the game because THIS LEVEL IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE IN REIGNITED. In the original, you fought Gulp. In Reignited, you fight the camera.
"Gulp, finish him off & you can have all the Fairies you can eat. I'm going to enjoy this.." -Ripto, Gulp's Overlook 1999
This and Buzz's Dungeon are the two tracks that delivered beyond belief. Kudos T4B!
Literally HOURS left for a remaster I've been waiting for, for over a DECADE
This is my favourite track of Spyro 2 and I had to spoil myself slightly to see if they did this track justice and.... oh my god did they deliver!!!
They did this one justice!
Still savage sounding. Perfect
I always loved that in Spyro 2/3 they somehow mixed horrifying tunes with blood-boiling ones so you're in awe and ready to kick ass at the same time and it freaking works. And Reignited turned it up to 11
WOW. This might be the first Reignited song that is hands down superior to the original. Just WOW. I love this!
Hoo boy, first one you've heard superior
I've only played through the first game of Reignited, but I think Peace Keepers and Ice Cavern surpass their original tracks, too.
Buzz's Dungeon is definitely better than the original, at least to me. It sounds so much more menacing and intimidating
Honestly they are all better so far
This is definitely the best sounding track i've heard too, all of the others range from bad to meh up to alright.
GULP! Finish him off, and you can have ALL THE FAIRIES you can eat! I'm going to *ENJOY* this!!
One of the only times I prefer the new ost over the old one. This remix is fantastic.

0:46 hits differently
My trick was rolling on the floor like it’s Dark Souls
This is the best remixed track in the entire Trilogy, hands fuckin down.
Had you considered Buzz Dungeon for a size?
Listen to Sunny Villa, Dino Mines, Artisans, Tree Tops, and Ripto's Arena.
Here's something I noticed : Gulp won't start the fight as long as you don't move. Make the slightest movement though, and *IT'S FLATTENIN' TIME*
Most of the Spyro 2/3 bosses don't move until you do.
@@AdmiralOctopus I don't know why that struck me with Gulp in particular.
The rapid fire snare drum that plays when Spyro is charging head first combines with this so well!
Getting the perfect skill point for this level had to be the hardest thing in the entire remaster. Also kudos to them for getting me to not switch to the original music here !
I’ll take this one over the original Gulp’s overlook, GAWD DAMN!!!! 😱😱😱

Huh??

They made Gulp a lot more challenging and its great
When you fire one rocket and then a second before Gulp can even react.
I'm not gonna lie, Gulp is one of the hardest 2nd boss I did. Both on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. At least it took me 10-15 tries to beat him
Gulp doesn't have much in the way of competition at all given that all of Spyro 1's bosses were jokes and Spike got nerfed into the ground for the Reignited trilogy.
LizzietheRatcicle15 so much pain on that green menace with a big laser weapon on his back
"Gulp, we've finally made Avalar ours! You've earned a *special* reward."
"Gulp? What is it, boy? Oh, the fairy... Here you go! BWAH!!"

EDIT: I've played this game too much.
The only song from Spyro 2 I have memorized. Because I have listened to it for a long time. While dying over and over.
I'm seeing people say his Reignited fight is harder and now I'm scared.
wtf is this boss, the whole game is child's play and then i'm getting confronted with THIS?!
"childs play?" pfft, what an idiot
I've always struggled at this boss. Even in reignited. I noticed that there was a spike in difficulty in this version
King Magnifico: Challenge accepted.
¡YOU SINGNED MY CAPE, DRAGON!
Wow... I have no words. I cannot wait to hear this in game!
For some reason this music always remind me of something like, pursuit in the desert under the sun with vultures above one's head
Doesn't Cyberchase use this constantly?
And I think a few other movies and commercials use this a little... 😆
The original was stock music
it's used in many things, but most infamously from cyberchase because they use it nearly episode whenever Hacker's nearby.
since most people watched that as kids, we just automatically associate the song with cyberchase lol
Gulp was a lot Harder in this than in the original but honestly, I prefer the new one, the same with the track
Crash Schwarzenegger I agree
Badass
Bibleman: So we finally meet.
This track is so underated!
The real final boss of the game xD
Awesome rearrangement of my favorite song of this game! I can't wait to hear this version in other media like the original version.
Anyone notice how the bosses in Spyro 2 (minus the ox in Metropolis) don't move if you don't?
Glad they didn't nerf Gulp's fight.
Spike on the other hand..
Gulp was, in my opinion, a really tough boss compared to Crush and Ripto
I haven't played Spyro 3 yet, but so far, Gulp takes the cake for toughest boss I've faced (that doesn't run away from you, I'm looking at you Gnasty and the Key Thieves)
Mecha Gulp was in Ripto's Boss Battle
I think Spike was Hard and I remember Fighting Gulp again in Spyro 2 Season of Flame.
“Checkmate!” from Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
this is so much better than the original.
Hoo boy, Gulp was a toughie...
Go side to side when he shoots instead of trying to outrun the zaps :3
This boss fight was so much easier for me in reignited, original is such a pain in the ass
Nah. You got it twisted, it's the other way around
is it just me or is remake gulp harder than og gulp
he was just relentless with the shooting and running
That doesn't matter with me. I. Spyro 3 we fought Spike in the og Spyro 3 who was tougher than Gulp
Me:finally I got all the orbs and stuff in Autumn plains can’t wait to face off Gulp!
Gulp:So you have chosen Death...
Someone extend this, please!
Gulp: Rooooaaaar!
I heard Cyberchase every episode that music
Digit: It's the Hacker!!
cyberchase was notorious for using this soundtrack lol
Beat him my second try had to keep the chickens from him and circle the arena alot
Hey guys do you think they should remaster spyro enter the dragonfly and spyro a hero's tail and add them that would be like 5 games in one as a dlc near future?

@@corjonbett maybe Re-enter the dragonfly would have all of, if not some of its cut content pasted back in?
Remember when I beat this boss fight.
Neither do I
YES
YES
YES
The theme of the annoying Conservationist achievement, in which taking 2 hits turns Gulp invincible xD
ItsASquid Of course with the unlimited superflame powerup, the achievement is a joke 😉
and that's why you go for 'Perfect' in the same fight ;p
Rockets are your best friend in this fight. :)
holy damn....
They actually made this track tolerable sounding! Thank god
I really like a part after 1:24
Got the skill point on my third try.
Unused Despicable Me
Cyberchase is back!!! Hacker's back!!
But what about spyro a hero's tail
I defeated Gulp without being damaged. And without this ridiculous superflame. That's for amateurs.
1:24
Dr.doom Fantastic 4 for the ps1 anyone?
Farscape!
Oh ok
I hated the homing electric attacks in this fight. URGH.
