      Still love listening to them especially tracks like "Summer Forest", "Wizards' Peak.", "Dark Hollow" etc.

    And they failed to mention an important Spyro fact such as the differences between the original release of Spyro 3 and its updated Greatest Hits version which had bug fixes, restored a missing cut scene and updated the soundtrack since the original release was sorta rushed the entire soundtrack wasn't completed by the initial release but finally included in the greatest hits release when the soundtrack was fully finished. This is why the original version many levels shared songs from other levels in the game but the greatest hits version every level has its own unique theme as intended. Sadly the digital PSN release of Spyro 3 you can find now is based on the inferior original release version missing out the improvements from the greatest hits version. This would mean that Spyro 3 is probably one of the rare few Playstation games that the greatest hits version should be considered collectible but most people don't realize this as many collectors always like to go for an all black label collection not doing their research that some games did have updated greatest hits releases afterwards which sounds like something to consider looking into for a more complete collection.

    • @DannyJennyArtz
      @DannyJennyArtz 7 лет назад +3

      TheLiquidusnake oh, I did hear about that a few times. Kind of a shame too cause some of the songs that were left out of the orignal version are some of my favorites, Evening Lake especially. Luckily, I actually had the greatest hits version ever since I was a kid and it was how I always played the Spyro games.
      Tho sadly, I'm not sure if it's just a problem with my discs since I've had them for over 17 years and they are a bit scratched up, but the audio for the cutscenes tend to glitch out and repeat lines or would just cut out all together. It's mostly notable in Ripto's Rage and usually happens with long cutscenes. Kind of sucks whenever I replayed the games and I would have to resort to watching a youtube video for the whole cutscene whenever it glitches out. Especially since how much they said a Greatest Hits set goes for nowadays. Aw well, at least the games themselves still play perfectly fine, it's just the cutscenes that have a problem.

    • @GcorpCoPrez
      @GcorpCoPrez 7 лет назад

      TheLiquidusnake yesss' i own many of the greatest hits label. I think spyro 3 included.

    • @TheLiquidusnake
      @TheLiquidusnake 7 лет назад

      @PyroDanTheManiac Original version of Evening Lake as in the black label? From what I know in the black label release Evening Lake had the same song that was used in Sunrise Spring and I remember when I used to initially rent the black label version a few times I got used to that version then when I got the greatest hits version as a christmas present I remember thinking why was my copy different as I noticed the updated soundtrack especially when I entered Evening Lake and it played a completely different song than what I heard before.
      Now the weird thing about some scratched PS1 games is that I've also had this issue with Spyro 2 which is completely playable and some cutscenes did have audio issues when i played the discs on PS3 but when I went back to my PS1 and PS2 console the same disc played fine with no issues which made me think maybe the PS3 reads a little too much into the scratches with its more advanced lense? I'm not sure about that last part but that seems to be my case with some PS1 discs.
      These days I try to play it safe by rebuying some of my more favorite PS1 games digitally on the PSN store. Knowing those CDs eventually gain more scratches overtime the more I play them I try to preserve them now by still holding onto my original copies of Crash, Spyro, Metal Gear Solid and others but when I feel the need to play them I won't be using the physical copies I'll instead go with the downloaded PSOne classics games I have saved in my PS3 (while this is great for Spyro 1 and 2, I sadly can't do the same with Spyro 3 after already mentioning I have a copy of the updated greatest hits version however PSN only has a digital copy based on the original black label so I'm gonna have to deal with that by other means).

    • @DannyJennyArtz
      @DannyJennyArtz 7 лет назад

      TheLiquidusnake I never said I played or owned any of the orignal copies. The Greatest Hits versions were always the ones I played. I just remember reading a comment on a video of Evening Lake's theme that said the original version used the Sunrise Springs theme.
      Oh, the games were giving me those problems since I was playing them on my PS3, so I guess that explains it. I do own a PS2, but weirdly enough, I never owned a PS1, so I always played the Spyro games on my PS2 when I was a kid, so unfortnately I never had any way to save data whenever I played them on my PS2. Guess that means if I want a copy of Spyro 2 that runs perfectly, I'd have to buy the PSN version. Aw well

      Will Richard I still like the Spyro 1 voice, sure it sounds kind of silly and childish but i kind of like it because of that, it's like Spyro was still a naive little kid in Spyro 1 and then in 2 and 3 he was a teen and more mature and laid back, but yes indeed Tom Kenny is the 1 and only true voice for older Spyro, the ones after might have done a good job but after the 1st 3 the series just feels too different and not like Spyro anymore.

    You guys didn't even touch on "The Legend of Spyro" trilogy which featured characters like Ignitus and Cynder. Ignitus was voiced by freakin' Gary Oldman for God's sake. It was a darker grittier Spyro that had a more plot driven narrative and solidified the multiple breath weapon system. Such a great series.

    Man, I love Spyro but I'm really disappointed and in disbelief that the creator of Spyro himself would be happy with the direction in which our loveable purple dragon is heading with Skylander's. He shouldn't be canon, he shouldn't be canon at all and it breaks my little fangirl heart. D:
    Of course, who am I to say things like this considering I have no voice besides the fan voice about it, but it's heart breaking.

    Number 108, there is actually a second make of Spyro: Year of the Dragon. However with that version, they introduced new music. For example, the original third game had the Sunrise Spring music play for Evening Lake, and the Sorceress battle in Midnight Mountain. In the second make, said levels got their own unique music track.

    I always had a feeling Spyro adjusted the difficulty based on how well you played! Like sometimes I was like, damn, the better I play the harder it gets, and then I noticed, because Spike kills me like 10 times before I beat him, when I keep dying, suddenly it's different, like he shoots less fire balls at you and you don't have to hit him as many times to get the blue and red powerup thingies.

    My personal favorite Spyro game isn't part of the original five, but in the Legend of Spyro trilogy. Dawn of the Dragon to be specific. Speaking of which, the movie you brought up was going to be based on THAT!! Dawn of the Dragon is what the Legend of Spyro 3D became.

      Train the Dragon The legend of Spyro was trash compared to the og 3

    • @trainman666
      @trainman666 7 лет назад +9

      I disagree. I will concede that things were done differently, but I still had a lot of fun with the Legend of Spyro trilogy, and nothing anyone says can change my mind. That's just my personal opinion, but I respect yours too. I don't consider it bad.
      The logic behind my reasoning is if it has mostly good reviews, it's usually good. If it has mostly bad reviews, it's bad. If it has mixed reviews, as is the case with the Legend of Spyro trilogy, then it's up to the player to determine if they like it or not. I'm one that likes it.

    • @trainman666
      @trainman666 7 лет назад +7

      The Legend of Spyro trilogy is not a bad series. Why is it so difficult to understand that? This is a personal opinion, and nothing is changing that. So, I respectfully disagree that it's garbage, because it's not if people give it a chance.
      Now, I don't expect an apology, because I don't need one, and I don't want this to turn into a rant. Good day.

    • @CharlieServit
      @CharlieServit 7 лет назад +3

      Don't let those haters get to ya. I grew up with/adored the og series (the first of which was actually the first game I ever played.) But I also love the "Legend of" series. I love the direction they took. A more immersive story and more detailed characters, both design wise and in character depth. Now "Enter of the dragonfly" on the other hand....That's a different story XD
      (Edit, fixed mistake ^^; )

    • @trainman666

  • @theoktoberscarf
    @theoktoberscarf 7 лет назад +23

    As a die hard trilogy fan. I can look at Skylanders and say, the only thing changed is Spyro's Look. That is all. Why? Looking at his personality from back then and now, aside from some episodes in the Netflix series of him having a big ego. It still is Spyro. If anything, he is way different in the Legend of Series. Why doesn't anyone complain about that but go full force on Skylanders? And with Skylanders, there are several characters that have great designs and charm. Not all but some. I can honestly say someone like Kaos has more villain charm than Gnasty. But Kaos isn't no Ripto or Sorceress.
    As for a return to classic. Yes. It is more possible than ever since Crash came back in such a big way. Spyro can do the same with his classic self. The actors are still around, and yes the original crew of Insomniac is willing to head back to the purple dragon. This day in age where we see things coming back like Samurai Jack. (Rhyme intended.) Spyro can charge back into our nostalgic hearts. And fire them up for another adventure.

    • @CrystalBlazier
      @CrystalBlazier 7 лет назад +2

      TheOctober Scarf Believe me, most fans DID complain about LoS Spyro back then but some accepted the mature setting, story and characters introduced regardless of the change. But when Skylanders came, they didn't accept that change. Like, what? They accept the Legend of Spyro but not Skylanders all because of a character design.
      I like Skylanders Spyro too, played as him in the games, saw his cutscenes in Skylanders Imaginators and saw how acts very similar to classic Spyro in Skylanders Academy. If there were Spyro remasters, I'd definitely buy it. XD
