F4F Uses Random Spyro logo for product

Holy shit, that looks amazing.

Bump

I hope to god there be no HD remake in the near future.

Looking at the landscape and activity right now, it's likely going to get one announced soon. Probably for his 20th anniversary like Crash.

Jesus fuck.

I'd love to see an Elora and Bianca HD I think an HD remake would defeat the purpose and aesthetics of original Spyro as much as the rash remakes fucked up the original aesthetic in pro of generic shit.We'd pretty much end up with Enter the Dragon Fly HD for the whole remake.

As much as I love Spyro, I'm not sure an HD remake would capture the magic of the original 3 games.

Too bad we couldn't get an innovative sequel, but most developers are creatively bankrupt.

Heck, I'd take a game that takes place after Dawn of the Dragon and has Spyro and Cynder creating their kingdom and ridding the land of leftover baddies. Like maybe have Gail return, or Malefor's spirit take over one of the Elder Dragons. I dunno. Maybe even have a similar mechanic to Spyro 3 and go on an Easter egg hunt for Dragon Babies to repopulate the kingdom with lots of dragons.

Legend of Spyro was hilariously bad, but Toys For Bob and xxx were originally going to go with a variety of other takes on how Spyro would have had its next game after DotD. These come from alternate universes where Skylanders didn't fuck everything up. A shame too, since that Paper Spyro game sounds comfy.

What are they going to do, sue the copyright holder?

The pattern is there and I see it again. It's going to happen. Not like I care.

Are the edgy PS2 games really that bad? They look like gritty fanfiction games.How cringy are they?

>(((Spyro's Kingdom)))

Welp Holla Forums ruuned me

I remember people called it Lord of the Wings at the time.

I thought the same thing, haha.

As says, Lord of the Rings. Most notably the last one, DotD. Spyro is voiced by Elijah Wood/Frodo. It was one of those cases where they spent a fuckton on voice actors and lauded it as being cinematic and about a deep story. Ironically, the first game's plot is super fucking thin. The entire level where you save the first dragon has no actual plot things happening and most of the entire game feels dead. They're long slogs through hoards of minions in a beat-em-up fashion but there's not really much strategy or thought to put in, just button mashing. Also yes, Spyro is a Chosen One prophecy sort of case, being a purple dragon.

The sequel was more of the same, but with some moves reworked and suddenly time control because why not. Not much to say but things happened unlike the first game. It was also significantly harder since save points were arbitrary and you had to rewatch cutscenes if you lose, where the first literally just drops you off where ever you lost. Also, an edgy Shadow the Spyro phase happens for literally no reason. It makes a cameo in DotD for just about no reason as well.

Don't get me started about Sparx, by the way.

DotD is a special case. Was developed by some French studio instead of who developed the previous two LoS games. It's still really bad, but you play as Spyro and Cynder stuck together and can play with a friend. The plot especially reaches peak Deviantart. Hunter is in it, but they fail the silhouette rule of character design and he comes from a big village of cheetah men who all look the same sans color. I had the joy of playing this game, a flying platformer with two players sharing the same screen, with a friend. It's actually kind of fun, but for all the wrong reasons. Worth a laugh if you can get it for free. The art style is really bad too, worse than LoS. Spyro looks like he's made of ceramic. Cynder looks a little better though.

The gba games were the only okay games after the originals to me.

If you clicked the link in the OP, the guy who made the HD logo said he couldn't give less of a shit to whoever used it.

OP's image made me panic because I thought it was a remake announcement first. Really hoping they don't bother with it.

Anyone have those 4k spyro wallpapers?

I think I could stand a material-themed Spyro in the same vein as Wooly World or Epic Yarn.

Yeah, I heard about that one. I actually have a very early barebones prototype exe file of Spyro's Kingdom on my hard drive somewhere.

I'm sure that, if they would remake Spyro, they would fuck up the art style like they did with the Crash remake. They would make everything look smooth and like a unity asset and not jagged and cartoonish like the original.

This, I can't seem to find them on my computer anymore.

I still have the whole collection via the .rar files they were uploaded in I believe, but I'm at work. I can post them somewhere when I get home if no one beats me to it

Me too.

How do you think he pees?

Haha

Damn

You mean these?

Yes pls

Which is retarded. I want a new Spyro but I wont buy a shitty Spyro toy.

Those are the fuckers that made the Star Control series. They are making that shit now?

Wow! Breath of the Wild looks great!

If you're gonna be a furry at least settle for Bianca.

Any sequels would obviously need to only count the Insomniac games. Maybe they could count all the pre-Legend of Spyro games, since they all at least try to respect the originals, even if they fail horribly. The GBA games were playable, I guess.

To be fair, this is in the original game as well. A bunch of dragons you save hint at it but they're never clear what the destiny they keep talking about actually is. I like to figure it's defeating the Sorceress and reuniting the world, since that's an ancient problem the dragons were dealing with, unlike Gnasty and Ripto, who just showed up.

share it or it didn't happen

Uh oh.

get triggered

Why does Spyro seemingly inspire more autism than Crash Bandicoot? I always thought of them as having very similar audiences. And I personally am more autistic for Crash.

I'm not triggered, I'm just aware of the inevitable flood of porn that will follow if anybody finds out about this. Assuming it hasn't already happened.

I should have specified. It's deep in my hard drive back in the States. I'm currently stuck in Rio. Maybe one of the other anons could hook you up. It used to be downloaded on a hidden part of the Helios website, but the fuckers deleted the page years ago.

Nigga, the pink dragon appeared in 2004 with A Hero's Tale. There is without a doubt porn of all those dragons somewhere.

I stopped playing after Enter the Dragonfly.

I played a Hero's Tale for 5 minutes but stopped since it didn't suck me in I was going to try enter the dragonfly but I heard it is buggy as shit

I beat it and I don't remember a single fucking thing about it except for a farm with some UFOs. It was boring as hell and I've never wanted to replay it.

Enter the Dragonfly is like they intended to make another game very similar to Year of the Dragon but only had maybe five or six months to do it, and they weren't the team that made the original games, and it was a new console. It makes Sonic '06 look finished, but at least it tries to be like the old ones.

A Hero's Tail isn't such an unfinished mess, but it's like they only looked at a few videos of the old games and didn't actually play them. For one thing, Flame is Square and Charge is Circle. That's like making Mario Run with A and Jump with B. Did they even play the original games? Another thing that really bugged me is that gems respawned because you had consumable items, so the aspect of actually collecting all the gems was gone. On top of all that, the level design wasn't all that, and I hated the new Mole character's gameplay. I never make it much further than the first time you have to play as him. I bought the game when it was new and have never been more disappointed. Not even by Enter the Dragonfly.

There was literally nothing wrong with Enter the Dragonfly

Look at this demo they put out. It's amazing they fucking got anything done.
Enter the Dragonfly always struck me as a game that was trying to play it safe, but was just too shitty to really like. Maybe if it was finished it would have just been a mediocre sequel instead of the pile of shit we got.

Toys for Bob are responsible for Skylanders.

Shit, you weren't kidding? I didn't realize it's actually out there in the wilderness. I'm interested now.

Dragons.

Vid related. Is my personal experience.

Yes, that was another reason why I hated it. It was really fucking slow and buggy.

It's interesting how many similarities in circumstance the Crash and Spyro franchises shared. Specifically with The Wrath of Cortex and Enter the Dragonfly.
Both games were new entries in an established franchise by new developers on a new console, both of them tried to follow the classic formula with their own sequel improvements but didn't quite manage to capture the magic, and so rather than just try again in the classic style but do it better, the publishers sank both franchises in shitty games that nobody wanted until they were dead.
Sad, really.

Don't forget all the handheld games each got, along with the crossover games.

Was just about to post this. There were a lot of GBA games for both.

Surprisingly good GBA games to boot, save for Crash Purple/Spyro Orange. Shitty minigame collections with platforming and bosses in between.

Shit I forgot about this when I got home. I have all four .rar files totaling 3.36GB, uploading to Mega now, will probably take an hour.

I was amazed how well those games transitioned into GBA. Spyro for gameboy felt just like it did in spyro for ps1 except with a slightly changed camera position.

I don't think Spyro ever died. But it was sad when Crash did. I'm glad they're both back, though.

But skylanders isn't good.

Limping on as part of a shitty toy collection game isn't exactly living.

Funny jokes, but do you ever wonder how many anons you've talked to over the years have died since you responded to their post and you will never know

It's also not Spyro.

It has Spyro in it. That's close enough, isn't it?

That's like saying "F-Zero is back because Captain Falcon is in the new Smash".

You say that, but Skylanders is a completely new franchise starring all-new characters (except Spyro), whereas Smash is just video game characters.

...

I know this is satire, but I'm autistic. He actually doesn't even have his name in the titles anymore. He was pretty much branded for the first but then serves as any other schmuck in the world from what I've seen. I think he's only a major focus in the weird Netflix cartoon.

Wew lad

The style was ugly as fuck. Hunter and Bianca looks like prototypes for FNAF characters. It was more of the same, and in that sense, it was very mediocre. The team that made the previous games said Enter the Dragonfly was like beating on a dead horse, which is true, just like Wrath of Cortex.
Maybe if they had more time indeed.

It was a combination of things, really. Between a new console and a new team plus playing it safe.

Only the crossovers were shitty. The GBA games were actually pretty good specially compared to the originals.

That's the problem, bait.

Alright here all four of the original .rar files that user provided.

Because they were always owned by the same publishers. The same greedy suits treated both of them exactly the same. But as Legend of Spyro seemed to have more success than Crash of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant, Spyro got to be rebooted again in Skylanders, while they just let Crash die.

dude lmfao topkek

...

Yeah, it was a really obscure file that apparently not many people knew about, and after a few people like me downloaded it, Helios caught on and removed EVERYTHING. I all fairly sure I saved it on my external HDD in a video game folder full of high res art and a few rare demo executables of things like Diddy Kong Racing builds and such. I don't think the Spyro demo was too special, but it was fascinating to see. I don't remember if there was ever a different build. I only ever had one. Pretty sure I wouldn't delete that. I even have a four or five MP3's that were supposedly composed for the cancelled Spyro movie.

i want to interact with elora. intercourse that is

I want this concept in a game now.

I still have this game. Jesus Christ. It still works too on my N64. Think I'm gonna go play it.

Thanks, user.
