Next up...Bianca!

please!!

I asked in the comments for a video "Miharu the Fox" uploaded what she thinks about Tom Kenny's new line delivery, and this is what she responded with:

"I think he's trying to give him a more youthful sound, to match his new model and playful animations. He doesn't quite want it to be the same as it was 20 years ago. I think it fits well."

....Ok, what's the relation that person has with the game? I think one of the main problems people keep pointing out when it comes to your subjects, is that you keep mentioning people from youtube or offsite that we really don't know or have no reason to pay attention to.

Still, it's just a cutscene. Seeing feedback on the demo of Gamescon or the b-rolls is one thing, but I don't see the necessity to know what every youtuber thinks of the redesigns.

Well clearly one of you are so that was incorrect

Whatever happened to the blue Avalar banners that Ripto replaced? Why are they now just plain and red? Are they just placeholders?

I'm half-tempted to think they're just placeholders since early screenshots of Stone Hill had a similar flag situation going on?

We're getting some Spyro 3 screenshots from Pez!

Sheila:

Aw, man. They objectively did a wonderful job, but I'm not a fan of this redesign at all. I've always loved that Sheila had a simple enough design to appear androgynous; it suited her personality a lot more.

I miss her bright green eyes

I think the Steve Irwin-esque jacket is perfect, and I'm getting a lot more used to the hair. I just hope they make her waist thicker; it doesn't look as bad in this screenshot but looking at her from the side in the gameplay we got reveals that it's about ten times worse than I thought.



Part of me will always miss her more ambiguous and simple design, though.

I like it, but keep the official design's hair and facial coloring.

So basically give the fan made eyes to the official one.

I disagree.

Also I like the new design but I agree her face should be more human and that her hair looks awkward .

bad opinions all of you

and what are your opinions?

Is it trendy to make an edit of every little character/level/whatever in Spyro Reignited Trilogy?
Gosh it getting so annoying!

If they can make it "better" then they should make their own game.

This is such a weak argument and it is tossed around so much and I find this annoying. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people giving a shot at their own take of things, and y'know what I like one of the edits better than the original, does that make me a bad fan? I think there are some movies I could improve does that mean I'm invalid in thinking that just because I don't have a studio? Or that I think the people who created the movie are worse than me?

You seem to hate criticism but look where it's gotten us, they have improved so many things, they aren't being 100% faithful and that's completely fine they're taking artistic liberties but some people don't like all of the changes and those people are allowed to dislike it, it's only when these criticisms turn to hate that they are invalid. I think you're letting this get to you way too much, let people have their critiques and criticisms it's their right

Quote: Sesshomaru75

I'm fine with constructive and calm criticisms and edits, but some of them that I've seen have shown that not everyone who makes me one has a good idea on how to "improve" something. (Despite how many of them think otherwise)

That said, the amount of editing I've seen the community as a whole do is somewhat ridiculous, I must admit. Haven''t ever seen nearly as much as this with any other game.

I agree but I think it's just because of how important this game is to them, so i can at least understand why they're being so critical ykno? Either way If I could draw or 3d model or photoshop I'd probably take a crack at my own edit or rendition just for the fun of it

I think my one big criticism is that the cutscene voice acting does seem off in that Spyro needs to start off more standoffish before developing a friendly relationship with everyone, I'm also not a fan of the baby dragons. But only a few things I dislike out of dozens that I do like is pretty good in my books so i hope they keep at it and doing good

have you never enjoyed fan art or

The concept art is really beautiful


But, honestly? The design in game is just ugly. Again, the work they put into this entire game is something to be appreciated, but I just can't get behind the designs at all. They look like Dreamworks characters lol

I mean lmao



I'll still play the hell out of it though!

IMO, they do look like Dreamworks characters, but in a good way.

Honestly not a fan of these fan edits, they are all worse than the original ones, IMO.

Yet to find one that I will say, "That's better than the official one."

I should clarify, I don't think the designs are Dreamworks-esqe, but more so of the same quality when Dreamworks makes a good character design, like Toothless, Jack Frost, or Po.

The redesigns are fine. My only concern is will Toys for Bob implement music from the Greatest Hits version of Spyro 3 and maybe a cutscene before you fight the Sorceress.

In the words of Nicholas Kole... no matter how hard a team of 3D artists tries, they will never be able to recreate a design in a way that satisfies everyone. I personally think her new design is adorable, but different strokes for different folks as they say.

Yeah. Like... I saw an edit of the new Sheila design without hair and it honestly looks much worse. Made me sort of understand the choice to add it, even though I wish it were a hat or something instead.

A lot of the problem with these edits is that, while some of them may look nice on a still image, the style they're done in would look really awkward when incorporated into an actual 3D space.

More often then not, things that look good in 2D just do not hold up as good when directly translated into 3D, and it's really hard to keep all three dimensions in mind when you're going a Photoshop edit to a single screenshot. (And that's not even touching the subject of model topology that would be needed for things to animate correctly)

Edits can be a really good way to clarify your general criticisms, as well as show a proof-of-concept of what you're talking about, but they're most certainly not a straight shot solution on par with, say, redline criticizing 2D artwork.

I still prefer Sheila without hair and I wish her waist wasn't so tiny, but in my opinion, Elora looks perfect and WAY better than her PS1 counterpart, I wouldn't change anything about Reignited Elora. If there's a model from the PS1 trilogy that I never was attached to, that would be Elora's (though I've always loved her personality), and I see Reignited Elora as a huge improvement in every aspect, definitely. I also love that she is slightly more animal-like.

Oh yeah Sheila's waist is all sorts of hecked up, but elora is perfect

Quote: Sesshomaru75

Yeah, Sheila's waist is my only complaint about her design, tbh. :/ (I feel like it's one of the main reasons as to why her animations seem stiff)

I think her stiffness is less from her waist, and more from the fact that her tail, a really big, stand-out feature of her design, doesn't feel like it has proper drag, overlap, and follow though, leaving her tail tip always pointing up, rather then making a "arc" motion all the way though. While that may be true to real life kangaroo motion, her exaggerated cartoon anatomy makes her look unnaturally stiff.

There's also the fact that her platforming jump doesn't seem to show much "weight" once she touches the ground.

I honestly love Elora's concept art design for reignited even more than her concept art for Insomniac aha. She looks better without the purple eye shadow and red lipstick to me aha. I think her game model looks fine, but I think the problem is that the change in colour from white to dark brown on her face needs to be far more gradual; I think that change will help a lot. Also her hair needs to be less clumpy. But other than that I like it <3

Sheila on the other hand.... oh boy. I'm sorry but I just don't dig it. I think its because I loved how Sheila was a girl without anything that stood out to make her look 'female' and could easily be mistaken for a boy. But then TFB seems like they just went 'oh she is a girl so she needs hair, eyelashes and an impossibly thin waist'. I'm fine with them adding clothing; I think a turban or a bandanna would have been cute, but just not the hair aha. It just doesn't click to me that it's Sheila anymore unlike the others. And the upper part of the body just doesn't seem to fit with the lower half. And I actually think that's the reason her animations also feel very off.

A lot of artists are drawing the new Elora, some good some bad.

I like the new version, and the old one of course.

I just wonder what other characters will look like.

The Professor.

Sgt Byrd.

Agent 9.

Bianca.

The Sorceress.

I'm most excited for Bianca and Agent 9's designs <3

Oh I almost forgot, Hunter is perfect <3

E L O R A

i love her
