i like they decided to go with a less directly futuristic look for gulp's cannons

Dark Passage gameplay coming soon on Achievement Hunter’s channel:

There’s also a tiny sneak peek:



Can’t wait to see the big form of the Armored Turtles, and the Devil Dogs too!
Could also be the first chance to look at some Dream Weavers Elders.

Huh, I remember someone asking when National Dog Day was because they had shown concept art of the turtles on National Turtle Day, and they wanted to see the Devil Dogs.

And National Dog Day is in August...

...Most definitely a coincidence, since National Dog Day is on the 26th, but still a funny one! 8D

They believe the video's gonna be out on Tuesday, so it seems we'll just have to sit tight for 4 days first XP

UNRELATED UPDATE:



Preorder bonuses for Czech and Slovakia!

If I didn't already have the Persona 5 controller skin on my controller, I'd SO be all over that Spyro one 8'D

Whaaaaat? Those are so sick! D : I wish the U.S. got cool stuff like that .3. All we have is the buildable figure from Gamestop...

I’m very glad they specified the day the video will be most likely out, would have hated to keep refreshing both YouTube and Twitter.

Those are all nice bonuses, but I’m still waiting for the artbook.
The french preorder is the closest we’ve gotten to it so far.

Merch Update: https://twitter.com/Micromania...5998143491?s=19



People in France are being able to get their hands on the Spyro pool floaty.

No word on anyone else though I'D

While it sucks, people are overblowing the Spyro download issue like crazy. My God.

Update: Japan has the Reignited Trilogy up for preorder on their PSN store!

Even Jim Sterling is pissed about this. I didn't honestly whether or not I should be mad because I thought maybe each title is just THAT big or maybe it is just Toys for Bob not able to compress all the bloatware before meeting Activision's deadline.

Well I wouldn't bought it if you must download spyro 2 3 with it. Lack disck space? Why not give 2 more disc?

its probably because the game hasn't gone gold yet and the factory making the physical copies is on a deadline

I'm not sure about it if it was a respone to another question.
The last message was written 30 minutes later.

I cannot see the Reignited Trilogy not coming to the Switch, so maybe they’ll take this chance to reveal Spyro (and maybe Crash) in Smash and them announce the version for that console:

https://mobile.twitter.com/Nin...202051884150784

I honestly can’t understand this half release, the game already isn’t an exclusive so why hold the other version(s) back for so long...?

I firmly don't believe any of the Crash/Spyro in Smash rumors. Firstly, that rumor came from a 4chan "leaker", and 4chan isn't exactly a reliable source for that kind of information. Seccondly, every character included in the Smash roster thus far was created by a Japanese developer. Crash and Spyro don't fit that bill, and I don't see that mold being broken at this time.

Furthermore, since Smash is immensely popular in both the west and in Japan, any character included must be significant to both western and Japanese audiences. Spyro in particular has not had a strong presence in Japan thanks to the bizarre changes made to the first game's Japanese localization, and YotD never even got released there. Hopefully Reignited will get Spyro more attention in Japan, but I honestly don't think it will be enough to override Spyro's rather lackluster presence there.

tldr; I do not think Sakurai would consider adding Spyro (or Crash) to Smash.

Well, Diddy was UK made, but it part of a Japanese based series.

And I doubt it HAS to be from a Japanese made series to be in Smash.

dont get your hopes up

I highly doubt that this is the Direct Spyro will be announced on Switch as this one is primarily and I repeat, PRIMARILY focused on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It's one of those Directs where they focus on one game and one only.

Some (super blurry) sneak peeks at Spyro 3!



Also, what looks to be a new Stone Hill screen shot, a sneak peek at Scorch, and a new Idol Springs screenshot!

SICK FLIPS BRO!!!!!!!

Okay but for real... even though the screenshots are like 1 pixel big I am in LOVE with the colors. Seeing Year of the Dragon at all makes me so happy.

Looks like the skate park from sunny villa (obviously) and one of the big winged rhynocs from cloud spires

EDIT:

Freaking awesome screenshots!

*Squints*

At the risk of possibly digging up more censorship controversy-



I do notice that is very much not a shotgun.

Reveal Spoiler

Actually kinda reminds me of a tiny potato gun, hmmmm...

...Coconut gun?

Kind of looks like a slingshot or crossbow to me.

IT FIRE IN SPURTS

Also it seems they changed them to some crocodile-looking creature? I guess to avoid potentially racist imagery. I'm not sure whether that's a snout or a chin.

Really happy to see Spyro 3 pics. Cloud Spires looks great! *_*

SPYRO 3 MY BAAAAABBBBYYYYYYYYYYYY


@tfb stop holding elora hostage you ****ing cowards

i can't wait to relive the yeti boxing and the agent 9 mini game in fireworks factory its gonna be dope

Screenshots from my favorite game in the trilogy are finally here! This is going to be a good month!

the full range reveal and pre-orders will be live in ONE WEEK-ONE WEEK PEOPLE LET'S GOOOO

Well, that wasn’t expected!
Love all the new screenshots, especially the winged rhynoc which looks both menacing and goofy.
I tried to compare the colors in Scorch, Sunny Villa and Cloud Spires and I’m shocked at how similar they look to the original version; incredible texture work as well!

Not a fan of how they censored the guns once again, but at least it’s better than paint and the enemy itself looks great.
Speaking of censorship, look who’s been spotted on Reddit:



At least the turban looks the same, so far.

Update on the Dark Passage footage: If you're a RoosterTeeth member you'll be able to see it today at 1PM EST (one hour from when this is posted), but everyone else will have to wait until tomorrow.

New Scorch image!



Apparently, it was uploaded to the Spyro twitter, but was quickly deleted for some mysterious reason.

The new image looks sweet! Though the camel on the left's neck seems a little odd. I dunno, just looks a little too stretchy to me, though that might've been the effect they were going for.

Official tweet is back up!

Still no word on why it got deleted in the first place, though >3>

Where did you hear about this?

Why is there a hookah in this game

Also the dog monsters' tiny forms are amazing

Azizi has to be my favorite Reignited dragon so far 8'D

Also love how they seem to be going with a feather theme for the Dream Weavers.

I love the Dream Weavers dragons. Best designs I've seen so far.
Also, I did not expect the dogs to look like french bulldogs in their tiny forms.

Here's what I thought upon seeing each Dream Weavers dragon:

Kasiya: OHGODWHATHAPPENEDTOYOU. Definitely not one of the more handsome dragons out there xD He does remind me a lot of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, with his hookah thing and the way he's reclined and relaxed.

Azizi: Who put Aurelion Sol in my Spyro game? My favorite of the ones shown <3 I love that he has stars in his glasses and wings and his moon tail is really cool!

Bakari: MAC TONIGHT. Also sheep slippers.

Apara: Croc? Is that you?

Obasi: Used to be a hunk. Now he is a stoner jester. I managed to capture this funny looking shot of him:

Some other small things of note from the video footage:

• "Thank You For Releasing Me" dragons are definitely still very much there and unaltered.
  


• Not all dragons actually fly away after being freed, (For example, dragons inside an enclosed room with a roof), they'll just teleport away if flight is improbable.
  


• Sparx will now continue to eat butterflies, even while yellow, in Spyro 1.
  

Small thing that someone on Reddit pointed out. The "rescued dragon" text and "level 100% complete" text are no longer in purple boxes! Definitely a welcome visual improvement since it blocks less of the game <3

Meeeh....

Just posted this in the Activision d*ck move thread, but I figured it's worth posting here as well:

Welp. Bad news for anyone hoping this is just a patch.

https://i.redd.it/bnmelsd30qe11.jpg

This is the official German case's back and the translation of the info is: "Games 2 AND 3 need to be downloaded from the internet. Contains: 1 disc with game 1 and instructions for digital download for games 2 and 3"

It furthermore says that you need at least 50 GB of memory to do the download.

Still not sure why they're doing this. Apparently a BDLX Blu-ray disc can hold 100+ GB easily, so unless consoles can't read those specific types of Blu-rays, I doubt memory is the problem (not to mention that they also could have just included multiple discs to solve that problem). Right now I'm inclined to believe it's because TfB couldn't roll out all the stuff for Spyros 2/3 before the disks were made. More pessimistically, part of the motivation really could be to kill off the secondhand market years down the line after the downloads disappear.
