Maybe they could show the egyptian dogs in Haunted Tomb or Farley by then, or at least a dog from the second game (even if I don’t recall any at the moment).

World Cat Day is August 8, soooooo... hopefully we'll see George that day! <3

Or the Cat Wizards from Charmed Ridge, if they’ll have already revealed Year of the Dragon.

I’m in awe.
I cannot believe Activision managed to handle this project over such caring and passionate developers.

Not even in my wildest dreams I would have imagined to see something this gorgeous.
The fact they kept the exact same shape for the cave under the hollow log yet filling it up with details which (to me) improve the overall aesthetic, is incredible.

And they basically adressed the complaint about a “lack” of fog in the classiest way possible.
Love the game. Love these concept arts. And LOVE Toys for Bob. <3

I'm at a loss for words, Toys for Bob really are talented.

Competent devs aren't rare, you just need the right management and minimal higher ups meddling. At least it worked for the remaster.

Hel-lo, new phone wallpaper!

Do you think TfB’s reply to this post is a hint at Gateway to Glimmer’s images coming soon?
Or are they just answering with a quote which follows the question in their first tweet?
Weird they didn’t choose a line from a Misty Bog dragon...

Find Dragons first? Huh. Maybe we'll see a full blown Dragon statue at E3?

Okay, but can we talk about the fact that they have Spyro standing in some pool of shallow water??

A hint that there's a chance not ALL water is gonna be lethal??

Cuz I'd be so down for that. Cuz even if Spyro doesn't learn how to exactly swim underwater until 2, he can still wade on top of the water in the second game straight from the get-go, rather then just drowning in every little pool like he did in 1...

Maybe someone could try to tag them in a post containing every single picture of Spyro within the artworks they released so far?
Doubt that’s what they meant, but maybe such dedication could make them show something earlier than planned.

I’d do it myself if I had Twitter.

Regarding the water in that image, I think it’ll just be a dynamic effect like the paddles in Skylanders.
You move on it and the water reacts accordingly, but that’s about it.

Removing dangerous water would probably end up ruining the level design and structure of the level, even if it were just small portions.
I think it’s better if they just make the two types of water very distinct and recognizable; they kept the Dark Hollow one bright blue and also kept the signature glowing effect to signal a direct danger, and all the other water we’ve seen so far is rather thick and “murky” as a way to make it look more like an obstacle to avoid.
Think they’ll go with transparency for the swimmable one, just like Insomniac back then.

Spyro can swim in swimmable water even if he doesn’t have the ability to dive yet, but again making all bodies of water follow the same mechanic would end up ruining some levels (even if way less than the first game).

I've been considering doing this actually. :V I'm probably going to have some time here soon, so..

I could help by checking the various artworks for Spyro and writing down in which ones he appears, if you want.

I should have all of them saved in my iPad, so it wouldn’t take long.

Yeah, sure!

I'm actually glad someone considered doing this, I thought for sure the community would laugh at me. I went through the video and I found 4 so far, I took screen shots and have them saved on paint. With time stamps. ^^

I don’t believe in this myself too much but why not try anyway?
It’s a nice way to give TfB a postive feedback on how invested we are in these remakes, (and also a good occasion to look at those beautiful concept arts once more time).

Ok, so far I’ve found Spyro in these artworks:
- Dark Hollow, on the big platform where the Elder can be found;
- Misty Bog, in the middle of the first image and right on the pond in the second.
Is he in the High Caves one as well?
I checked it multiple times and honestly couldn’t find him.

Maybe we could look for hidden crystallized dragons as well?
I only remember one in the background of Beast Makers’ Home in the trailer, during the part where Spyro torches a boar (0:31), and another more hidden one also in the background of Misty Bog during the fast montage at the end on the right (0:47).
Nestor is probably too obvious to be considered.
Spotted another one in the firt High Caves screenshot, on the spiral platform in front of a window!
Didn’t find any in the GIFs though.

No other ideas about what “find dragons” could mean.
I hope we aren’t overthinking a simple quote.

I mean, in all likelyhood, its just a fun way of saying Spyro 1 is their promotional focus right now.

It’ll probably end up being exactly that.

I'm mostly focusing on the crystal dragons. With your help I've found 6. ^^

I am extremely ignorant towards this re-make. But can someone inform me, please, that how are they going to re-make the soundtrack?

Wow, I must have missed a few then!

Glad I helped, will try and look for more in the coming days.

As of now weKve only heard Dark Hollow’s track.
Keep in mind it’s not the full song as it comes from a PS4 dynamic theme, and that it could very well not be final either.

Here it is:



There were also a few notes from Stone Hill’s theme at the beginning and end of the reveal trailer, but they aren’t enough to get a proper idea of that track.

My friend Cortex300 sent this in the Crash Zone, we could not extrapolate the video (moreover, few people appear this video, apparently) so we ask for help to you and Spyro's subreddit. Maybe we can find out something! Thanks so much:

On the French site, it has happened that under the slide of information on the 3 games, a mysterious video appears asking you the date of birth.



Once logged in, the video can not be played (because it is private). It can not be the trailer of the announcement of the trilogy that is in the player at the top of the site.



This thing happened to me yesterday on our Italian site. Only today is no longer seen and that practically everyone can not notice it. Will there be something coming? Maybe an official contest?

I hope to God Game Overs are removed like in N Sane.

But Game Overs still exist in N. Sane?

They were? I that they weren't...

I’d say it’s more likely to loose in general, than to loose lives.
You can easily fail a mini-game or challenge, but outside of boss fights I rarelly die consistently.
Even when I was a kid I basically had no memory of seeing the game over screen in any of the three games.

Saw that on Twitter a couple hours ago, danyq, thanks for sharing it here.
It’s interesting and probably confirms something is brewing behind the curtains, though.
How can we help figuring it out?

EDIT:
Tried it myself, filled all the spaces but still got the same error.
Tried to use the ID directly in a YouTube URL but got yet another error.
Doesn’t say “no result was found” like it usually do.

I think we are definitely onto something.

This is the ID in case anyone wanted to try something else: n1RXUp5wV5likELQ

as someone who adores spyro 3's game over screen, this hurts me on a personal level

(jk)

i do love the game over screeens though. im curious to see what they're like in Reignited.

Well the game overs are still there, you just have to restart the level, I think? In Reignited they'll probably throw you back to the hub so everything resets, though.

Just popping in since I haven't posted in awhile to say I've loved the concept art the Twitter accounts have been sharing. This is probably gonna be my big game for the fall and I'm jazzed about it. ^.^b

Won’t lie, I saw the game over screens so few times I can’t even recall how the games act after them.
I think they simply take you back to whatever Homeworld you came from.

My guess is that they’ll unify the game over screens by remaking only the one they consider the most representative and iconic: it worked well with Crash.
I would choose the second game’s one, which if I remember correctly has Spyro gliding on one of Skelos Badlands’ giant skulls.

By the way, new nightmare fuel... I mean sneak peek from First 4 Figures, likely regarding the smaller statue.

With Pokémon Let's Go! Put Pokémon Go on the Switch revealed, this is another correct strike on the big leaked list that said Spyro and Crash in smash and Reignited on the Switch. Oh man, the weeks until E3 will feel like forever.

Oh got a link for that leak? I remember them talking about SonicRacing, but what they described was different from the actual thing.

Here it is, Drek posted it several pages ago - this thread can move quick!
The Sonic stuff is indeed wrong but it might've been an early pitch - iirc they have mentioned there will be characters running on foot?

Paper Mario is still a big "yeah, right", but again, this leak doesn't have to be true, it's just fun to think.

Ok, so it's been right about the Online Service reveal, I think on the retro games service and the Nintendo Classics (Those were true, right?), due to the Spyro UK leak, we can add the Trilogy, I guessand of course, more or less correct on the Pokemon Switch leak.


So, anything else that it was right on that I'm forgetting? Also, do I need correcting on the above?

Huh.
I was about to say that I actually read today it was all a lucky guess, but looks like it might not be, after all:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ninte...ve_been_leaked/

Sure hope at least a few more parts of it are correct, in one form or another.

Its already been discredited since Team Sonic Racing is completely different than what he said it would be. Sorry.

I also adressed that part in the other post. I'm not going OMG IT'S HAPPENING. I'm just saying E3 might be super exciting. We really shouldn't get our expectations too high anyway, but it would be cool to be absolutely floored with the reveals.

edit: it's also fake for other reasons but when this is an alt who to even believe anymore

To be fair, all his confirmed “””predictions””” so far weren’t really hard to guess.

I’m still a bit perplexed he got the online service informations pretty much spot on, but Let’s Go! Pikachu and Eevee being Kanto remakes/reboot and the whole Spyro coming to Switch part were either heavy speculated or pretty much indirectly confirmed or taken for granted.

Anyway, a very minor and perhaps dumb thought which has been floating in my mind for quite some time.
One thing I’m glad they improved in the Reignited Trilogy is how trees looks: they were fine and even impressive back then, but now they actually look like living plants while still retaining their general shape.

Now, there are a few parts were you are required to use specific trees as platforms (for example in Mystic Marsh and Spooky Swamp), so how do you think they’ll handle them?
Will they replace those trees with different structures, or simply add wooden platforms to them or straight up ignore the problem and make invisible platforms that you can walk on?

It’s interesting how working on a 20 years old game make you face problems which simply weren’t there when it released, either due to technical limitations or the art style.

"Pokémon's graphics are a mix of Sun/Moon and Pokken"

That is not just wrong... but incredibly wrong. LGPE is basically up-rezzed Gen VI graphics. So, yeah, not holding my breath that any of that stuff is remotely true.

Okay, but the other pic that shows the clipart on the box:



Look at the paws, they're in the same position as the Numskull statue! Seems the theories are pretty much confirmed now~

The logos look amazing!
I like how they choose to keep the same purple shade for all three games, yet left basically everything else as it was and simply made it look much cleaner.

Guess the main menu will be similar to the N. Sane Trilogy’s, where you select each title from their logo.

And of course, the closer we get to E3 more info/leaks emerge! Those logos look awesome!

Uh, wow, maybe I need my eyes checked because to me they don't look any different from the originals. Which is fine by me. ^.^;

All three logos are modified to look similar to the Reignited Trilogy logo. Spyro 2 is the most noticeable.
