Little detail I noticed: Spyro's tongue flops out, and his eyes roll up when he's squished.

Colossus is perfect! Not a single complaint from me about anything, except for maybe the monks' chant having been changed. I'm gonna miss that iconic "why-yi-yi-oh" thing, but I still love them all the same.

I’m gonna miss it too, but the new chant isn’t half bad.

They even fixed the gems latching onto Spyro before being collected, absolutely convinced this is one of the most recent builds we’ve seen yet.

I've been playing Spyro 2 for most of my life yet it somehow never fully dawned onto me what was going on in that intro cutscene until now... my goodness.

Regardless, this is my favorite footage of Reignited we've seen so far. Nearly every aspect of this is perfect to me, from the humming and guitars in the music to the lighting and visuals. Yes, things aren't all necessarily the same, but a room's lighting being red instead of blue isn't an issue to me at all. I adore how the goats look, and it's cool how you can see little structures on the mountains in the background. Plus... SPYRO'S FACE WHEN HE COLLECTS THE TALISMAN AAAAAAAA

The only thing I'd like to point out is that the stone tiki that crushed the yeti at the end of the level isn't present in the intro for some reason.

Sparx's little buzzing noise when he picks up gems is kind of adorable too.

I'm SO EXCITED everything looks so good!!! The dynamic music sounded amazing, I'm definitely warming up to it. I'm gonna miss the original chanting but I understand that not everything is going to be kept the same. The yeti looks great, the animations are super quirky and fun, and I can't wait to see more.

a little disappointed that they took away the chant, whatever though, the game looks really ****ing good. haha

The new yet looks more ferocious and threatening than in Spyro 2 and the religious imagery of the level got a humorous tone with hockey being incorporated into it. I cannot be more content with cutscenes being kept and this particular one looked great. The talisman animation looks much better than the orb one and the move Spyro makes to it is really cute.

However, I do agree with the complaints that the old chanting was too iconic and memorable to be replaced with a new one. Also, yeti's demise looks meh in the new version. He just roars and stomps the floor a bit and is immediately squashed with a huge stone idol. These details could've remained unchanged since they didn't change the music from the original.

Omg this is the best we have seen so far. And the music is spot on here. When they get things right, its honestly perfect. <3

The music actually sounds quite different to what we have heard from STD. Like it sounds more like Stewart's music so I'm wondering if we have been hearing incomplete music this entire time.

unngghghhh I can't wait to see Elora

Hmmm...

Probably nothing, but when I ask Pez if he knew anything about a Switch port (Because I'm curious) here was his reply. I doubt it means anything but it still is an interesting response. With the "Wait and See" and tweeting to Acti despite no need to. Also, the silent Monkey emoji makes it even more suspicious.

Regardless, we might get something, but dont get your hopes up too high, imo.

I love that they kept the original chanting vocals in the level theme!

Hmmm...

Well, we got some new screenshots and clips from the first game.
Then we got a five minutes gameplay of the second.

Perhaps they’ll take the ComiCon’s chance and actually release a trailer or a gameplay, or even just a few screenshots of Year of the Dragon.

JUST LET ME SEE MY FAUN W I F E

has this been posted yet or am I late as hell?

Definitely not!

Hunter looks great, I like how they kept him less “serious” than his A Hero’s Tail counterpart but still retained his bow.
Dr. Shemp is cool as always.

Where are those from?

just found it on the subreddit

It's from an advertisement for EB preorders

So what exactly are they trying to make Dr Shemp look like here?

a thicc boy

I was expecting something more swole for Hunter, but this is fine too.

Welp... I have nothing else to ask for other than Bianca, Elora and Switch/PC versions.

Judging by what we're seen, Bianca and Elora are coming.

As for a Switch/PC version,based on the link I posted from Twitter.....it's a maybe? Pez clearly can't say much.

Stealthy new dragon elder preview on the left, and above him seems to be the green dragon from the pin set.

Pretty sure that's Toasty himself. The eyebrows are the same, at first I thought it was another species entirely.

What I can see of Hunter and his bow looks pretty neat, even though I don't feel that the bow really defines his character in the classics as much as it does in AHT or LoS.

I am so happy to see Hunter with his bow! Such a nice touch! He only had that in games after the original trilogy, right?

That poster is divine, by the way.

At this point I'd trade, uhhh, all of my DS consoles! For a Switch port! Although it's looking more likely at this point that I'm gonna be trading my summer holidays for some desperate summer job so I can buy a Playstation 4...

The Spyro Twitter reposted the tweet about the poster, but removed the part about it being a ComicCon exclusive. I wonder if they're gonna sell it elsewhere then?

The Artist says on their Tumblr post of the preview that the poster is "currently a comic con exclusive", so maaaayyyybeee...

So, one of Jordan Fringe’s latest videos points out how the Balloonists’ hot-air balloon can be seen beyond Colossus’ mountains at the beginning of the level, possibly near the hockey area.
He theorized that it could be part of the fast-travelling mechanic that was hinted multiple times and even went as far as saying that you could travel from one level of any game to any other one.

I think that would be a cool idea, and having to unlock it by completing all the three games’ main story and make a Balloonist spawn in each world would be pretty cool, but I think it would be a bit too much for something easily accessible through a menu.
Besides, I think the balloon could either be there as a nice reference or even because one of the Balloonists is there to watch the game, and I doubt the mechanic itself would be so open.

What do you guys think?

I'd think it's just for fun rather than a legitimate mechanic. I'm not sure how fast travel across games would make much sense, because if I recall, its main purpose is to jump to a level where you might have missed a gem or a side mission. If that's the case, why go back to a completely different game to do that?

I thought the balloon was just an easter egg, personally. It seems like they're pushing the idea that the Dragon Realms and Avalar do know about each other (Autumn Plains painting in Toasty, High Caves painting in Colossus), so having the Balloonist balloon in Colossus is another bit of connectivity between the worlds. An interesting development, since based on the OG games I had always felt that Avalar was like this weird, mystical other world that dragons had never encountered until Spyro accidentally got there.

A video of the Numskull Spyro incense burner has been released. It's looking good!

I’m still unsure whether the concept art used as paintings are just a nice way to showcase it inside the games or if TfB actually intended them as a way to show the connection between the Dragon Realms, Avalar and possibly the Forgotten Realms as well.

Speaking of which, could this be a teaser for today’s panel...?

I ran across some new merch. A women’s cut shirt: something I’ve never seen before with Spyro shirts. Most often they’re just unisex. I ordered myself one yesterday! Really excited to get it!!

All the more reason to wish that Hot Topic was in the UK.

According to their website, IGN's livestream of SDCC seems to include the Reignited panel: http://www.ign.com/articles/20...c-con-2018-live

It actually doesn’t... The panel is from 2:15-3:15 PT, and the livestream coverage starts at 3 PT. What a bummer!!!

Edit: Never mind!!! It seems that they are covering it when you read further down. Sorry about that! Ahhh I can’t wait for this evening!!

Looking at the schedule it has Spyro Reignited for 5/8:10 PM. Hmmm.
