In addition to being able to switch to the old soundtrack, you can also turn off the dynamic feature of the Reignited tracks.

We have all the feels too! I think we’ll need therapy after this weekend’s Spyro drops

All of this makes me wanna cry. Waiting for Spyro is gonna be harder now than ever.

That’s it, I’m done.
This game is a dream, except it exsists.

My. God.

Literally the only thing I could ask for after this load of news is a playable demo as soon as humanly possible, and it’s not even tied to the game itself.
Beyond elated.

Also this means I’ll have to play the game at least three times, one for each music option.
What a shame.

T r o u b l e w i t h t h e t r o l l e y e h ?



And is this Zephyr?

Breeze Harbour is so beautiful!! I don't think I'll even care if I have to spend hours in that level because of that one mini game :')

And more!

“When they reveal you can toggle between the original Copeland’s soundtrack and the reignited one”.

Teal confirming that toggilable music wasn't the thing he accidentally saw in the debug menu.

The mystery deepens

I’m going for a bold statement here, but I’m waaaay too hyped to hold myself back: if what Teal saw were names for unused levels or brand new ones which will either come with the game or be released as DLCs, this remake might actually surpass the originals.

I know, I know, the art direction and originals ideas of the PS1 games are most definitely unrivaled, but the only thing which the older titles needed were updated technical features such as textures, animations and graphics which simply weren’t achievable back then.

TfB is using a new more modern but not less fitting style which is making all three games shine with a new light and if they upped their game to the point of creating new content or integrating cut ones, I might have a very hard time choosing between the two trilogies.
Personal childhood love and memories aside, of course.

Yeah it's looking like N. Sane Trilogy was Activision's guinea pig for old IP remakes and after that did so well, they've decided to go all-in with funding and marketing for Spyro.

Like three soundtrack options is crazy, they could have just stuck with the original tracks (as they obviously had the rights to them if they're using them now), but they went all in and gave us two other options for remastered music.

Then there's all the winking and nudging they've been doing regarding potential new content like more levels, challenges, new characters, and even stuff like potentially linking all three games together directly as one big world.

I've had a few nitpicks along the way, but most have been fixed so I'm starting to feel super hyped again. I just need them to officially announce a PC release and I'm set (I'll get a physical PS4 copy regardless though).

And more! (Plus a better quality versions of the other screenshots)

Idol Springs is obviously so much in an early development phase compared to the other screenshots that it almost hurts.

By the way, am I looking at perfection, here...?



As a side note, I think the grey Elder on the poster (which also features Metalhead’s face) is Astor: his hat seems very much like Nevin’s and gives me an artist vibe, and he’s the only grey Artisan besides Darius, who doesn’t have the same “old man” feeling to him.

New Idol Springs footage! Without commentary, so the music can actually be heard!

And is this Zephyr?

I couldn't even recognize these at first.

So uh, can we talk about how Stewart Copeland is not only making a 12 min long song with Spyro riffs all over in it, but is also GOING ON TOUR AND PLAYING SPYRO MUSIC???

So with all this talk of music, a question suddenly comes to mind: Fracture Hills

Do you think it's still going to have the same track as Idol Springs, or do you think they'll compose a brand new track for the level? (Or even possibly be given one of the old secret alternate soundtracks?)

Two months feels like so far away.

I remember there used to be a playlist of Spyro music on Stewart Copeland’s website (last I checked, I don’t think it was on there anymore) and it included three tracks that weren’t in any of the games. I’m hoping they’ll get used in some way in Reignited such as in DLC levels.
In case anyone’s wondering, here are the tracks I’m talking about:
https://youtu.be/p5ljlSI_T2k
https://youtu.be/k51S18uiymY
https://youtu.be/88xiMhx8v-g

I’d hope for the unused Fracture Hills track to be used for the level itself, since Copeland stated multiple times to have created the various themes after playing through the levels and capturing their atmosphere.
I never minded Idle Springs’ theme used for it but I can’t imagine how great hearing the originally intended track would be.

As for the unknon unused music, I think they’d kinda have to do a reverse process in order to keep the same quality of the originals: listen to it and come up with concepts which could suit the tracks well.
Unless there were already scrapped levels for them, then it would be even “

Come to think of it, the only question I’d have regarding the soundtrack besides the unused or repeated tracks would be if they’ll keep the differences between the PAL and NTSC versions.
I’m totally fine with them replacing repeated themes, but it would be pity not to hear some unique tracks which I can almost whistle from memory.
Honestly wouldn’t surprise me seeing how they are caring so much about the music.

So hyped. I can't wait to see what the hidden thing in the debug menu was if it wasn't the music settings. OMG Wake me up when September (almost) ends.

Is this the original Fracture Hills track?

Reveal Spoiler

for me it would be enchanted towers

Crystal Islands

If I could choose one from each game then Dark Passage in the first (I'm dying to see what the dogs will look like), Cloud Temples in the second and Enchanted Towers in the third. If I had to choose one of these, it would be Enchanted Towers.

Also, I noticed that the comparison picture of Skelos Badlands posted on a previous page is from Spyro 2's title screen. Does that mean that unlike N.Sane Trilogy, each Spyro game will have their title screens from the original games remade?

I surely hope so, even if I think it could have just been a coincidence as of now since you can also see the Powerup Gate in the background of the reignited screnshot as if it was just taken inside the regular level.
The first game’s intro would look amazing with the new graphics.

As for the question, if I could choose one for each game they would probably be Dream Weavers, Mystic Marsh and Crystal Islands.
If I truly had to choose, then I’d pick Crystal Islands as well: I can only imagine how breathtakingly beautiful the glowing crystals will look with the new lighting system.

Sorceress' Lair, of course.

In all seriousness, Haunted Tomb and Desert Ruins, just because I love how TFB handles desert areas.

Recap video for the panel coming soon!

Ooooooh, I sure hope it is and they use it. It fits a lot better than the Idol Springs music. I really hope that for this release, each level has its own unique track.

Crystal Glacier. It's one of my most anticipated levels, but one that I wouldn't mind getting to see early.

Oh man, good question...

Spyro 1: Jacques. Dream Weavers is my favorite realm, but I would want to keep many of those levels a surprise, since I think they're going to look amazing. Out of all of them, Jacques is probably the one I wouldn't mind seeing early. Beast Makers is a runner up since I was astounded at how gorgeous it looked in the trailer and I would love to see more.

Spyro 2: The ones I really want to see are the home worlds, but again, I think they're going to blow me away so I want them to be a surprise. Because of that, I'd probably say Zephyr. The tidbit they showed of it yesterday was interesting; we saw so little of it, but based on the trees alone, we know it's going to look different. And Zephyr is probably my absolute favorite level to play in Ripto's Rage.

Spyro 3: Frozen Altars! That level is very unique and there's a lot of things to love about it. And my most-want-to-see-but-keep-it-a-surprise for this one is Evening Lake, for sure.

I'm stunned at how perfect everything about this trilogy has looked so far! If I had to pick a level to see from Year of the Dragon (since I've seen enough of the first two games to satisfy me until release), I'd go with Bamboo Terrace for some reason. I guess I just really wanna see some cute anthropomorphic pandas, and maybe a bit of Bentley gameplay too.

EDIT: I actually decided I'd like to just see a home world from Year of the Dragon, preferably Midnight Mountain -- its soundtrack kicks major ass.

As long as people are bringing up music tracks/unused tracks, I'd like to bring up a point a raised awhile back. Do we think/expect Toys for Bob to give us the YotD tracks that were exclusive to the Greatest Hits version? I'd, y'know, actually like to fight the Sorceress with her kickass theme in the background instead of Sunrise Spring's theme. >.>

I sure hope they will. The Greatest Hits tracks are supposed to be the correct versions, after all.

Joke aside, does anyone have an idea of where the right reignited Nestor’s image comes from?
Seems like a direct screenshot, unlike the cellphone videos we’ve seen of the scene.

EDIT:
my bad, didn’t noticed that the image was tweeted by one of TfB’s artists (which only makes it even more awesome).
I guess he has access to quite some footage.

That meme was made by one of the actual devs, so they likely have access to the footage in high quality. It also makes it even funnier.

NESTOR LOOKS SO GOOD I LOVE HIM!!!!

That lizard face is gonna be a meme, isn't it?

LOL Reminds me of this

Just photoshop the lizard in something else, and there you go lmao.

That Stewart Copeland Spyro music tour sounds great.

Hype asf for this. Would love to play this when it comes out, and the N. Sane Trilogy, too. Don't have a PS4 yet, alas.

Note to self: get a PS4. I should also play the original Crash trilogy and the first Spyro. I'm really late.

If you live in America, check and see if the tax free weekend for school supplies applies to electronics. There also seems to be some good "back to school/college" deals as well during this time.

well we all know how the internet work so i would say that there is a very good chance.

Nothing groundbreaking, but pretty much a confirmation from the concept artist that Nestor got a redesign, rather then them having some sort of "Fake Nestor" in the trailer for mysterious conspiracy reasons.

How early was the trailer build, then?

Even though it’s clear it was just a very early model (probably a similar situation to the Gem Thief), which only shows TfB’s dedication even more, I still can’t see how a model swap would have been considered a conspiracy.

They could have just not modeled him at that point but still wanted to show a dragon being freed, so they choose whataver Elder was ready at that moment and placed him there.
The only difference in that case is that we would have still seen that model somewhere else in the game, but it did seemed pretty bad compared to the other ones we’ve seen afterwards.

The important thing is that Nestor is big, awesome and imposing and that TfB once again showed how much they take fans’ suggestions to heart.

New merch!
