Cross-posting from LP Beach since SA changed hands.  "Spyro: Reignited Trilogy" is the 2018 remake of the 3 original Spyro games. (Spyro The Dragon 1998, Spyro: Ripto's Rage 1999 and Spyro: Year of the Dragon 2000) The new games have been made by Toys For Bob (see Crash's remake). The orignals games were by Insomniac Games. I say remake, not remaster, because it's an almost full-on remake of all three games in one package. The gameplay itself is very nearly identical but everything has been redone, most importantly all the visuals.  I'll be playing through the whole trilogy normally, in order. So starting with Spyro 1, which I never did a full playthrough of! Should be interesting. I'll be showing off differences in the originals and these here and there. More so when 2 and 3 come because I've extensively recorded and broken those games. So trying out all the same stuff in Reignited will be a fun thing. I'll be playing Live here in the beginning, pivoted to post-commentary again after the first world. Let's Play & Break? If you're not familiar with my usual style of LPs, I tend to, aside from just playing them, also show off breaks & glitches. The original games were full on them, and I showed it well in my LPs of 2 & 3 I think. Unfortunately they changed everything in the remakes, so the old stuff no longer works. There's new stuff, but also with patching, there's less. A bit sad, but what's there I will try to show off. In 2 and 3 especially. You can find all the old stuff on the kilobops website. Alternatively on LPArchive.org or on my YouTube channel itself. Anything I missed since the break on SA? Yes! I finished Spyro 5: http://kilobops.ladderface.net/projects/spyro5/ and did a LP & Break of Metroid Prime! http://kilobops.ladderface.net/projects/metroid-prime/. Other than that some side stuff you can find on YouTube. Any place to support you? Yes, again! I have a newly created patreon at https://www.patreon.com/jaffy. You can join me live on stream sometimes if you want, at http://twitch.tv/jaffyjaf. Finally, you can join my discord if you wish! https://discord.gg/8hgEeuR

I go back and watch your old Spyro videos with Pods probably like once every year or two so I was really happy to see you make a triumphant return with Hero's Tail and now this. It was also great to see Pods guest commentate a video, just to know he's still alive and kicking. I don't think I ever finished Spyro on the PS1, I didn't realise how long this game was. You mentioned in the last episode that you were about half way through the game, I figured there would be maybe one or two levels left and a boss fight.

I know they went for a perfect HD-ification, and mission completed, but did they really have to transfer the awful camera as well? I'm having a hell of a time wrangling with that thing on the Switch.

It's not so much a problem in 2 and 3 from what little I played of them, but they spent so much time lovingly crafting the dragons in this first game only to for most of them to get a single generic line of dialogue?

"Hello! Goodbye!" Old man Conan was always my favourite.

I believe you were not intended to do Sunny or Night Flight first since the game doesn't expect you to 100% every level on your first run through a world meaning you can just bypass the other side of the ravine you used the cannon to get the platform to in the Peace Keeper home world. I also believe most if not all the enemies were made by Gnasty hence why they drop jewels when killed, they were created from the dragons' treasure, including both the wizards (the FF Black Mage looking guys) and druids (the guys with plant leaves on their head, including Blowhard).

Spyro Reignited is a really great series of remakes of the first three games. everything they adapted looked great, and making all the dragons unique models was a surprise to me. I'd say Spyro 1 and 3 had the most work put into them, with 1 just edging out more because of the dragons, the really interesting part of 3 was that some dialogue got unique animations, even some the player might not see.

Is 3 a similar situation where they gave all the baby dragons unique models and stuff?

I mean, I might argue they put too much effort into dragons in this game given what little they do with them. They could have had them, I dunno, hang around in their respective home worlds once they're rescued or something. It's honestly weird to me how meticulously designed they all are.

For sure it'd be nice if more was done with them! I like your suggestion. And now...  This is a good one. Happy Halloween! Can you find all the hidden skeletons?

How long do you spend for each level throwing Spyro at geometry to see what breaks? Are these all weird tricks you found yourself or did you find some of them online?

Even with without sequence breaking, it's not hard to have already unlocked Gnasty's World by the time you've gotten to Dream Weavers as Amos the Balloonist requires you to have collected 6,000 Gems before he allows you to use his balloon and your Gem total after 100%-ing Artisans through Beast Makers is 8,000 meaning you get 2,000 Gems worth of wiggle room even before you do any Dream Weaver levels.

Yeah the game actually expects you to supercharge to the mushroom balcony and free Copano before opening the exit so you get the Kiss of the Super Flame Fairy (the yellow Flame Fairy) and have Superflame for the remainder of the level. That's actually why I don't bother destroying anything metal/killing every Tin Soldier until then since you'll be able to clean them up with the Superflame gained from the Super Flame Fairy's Kiss.

Yeah you actually went in the slightly reverse order of what was intended as the game expects you to go to Dark Passage and Lofty Castle before Haunted Towers. And while the former two can technically be done in either order; you're probably meant to go to Lofty Castle first since its portal is near where Lateef, the likely leader of the Dream Weavers do to being the first and nearest dragon to be freed when Spyro arrives to this homeworld as well as the one who welcomes his arrival, is found. That's a big thing with Spyro as while all levels in a homeworld can technically be done in any order, there is an intended order based on proximity to where you first start in the homeworld not counting bosses and flights/speedways which will also carry over into 2 and 3. Gnasty's World is the outlier however do to having level order completion be required since three of the portals are locked behind dragon mouths with specific requirements to open.

Even as a kid, this level was boring and I usually skipped it. You don't get that much for it, and it's real lame! Better in the remake certainly, but still not that great.

Yeah admittedly this is one of the weaker levels in Spyro one despite the fact that it and Dark Passage are meant to be nightmare Realms to contrast Lofty Castle and the Homeworld with Haunted Towers being somewhere in between, the armored enemies even being called Armored Horrors in Prima's Official Strategy Guide for the original game while the monsters in dresses are called Giant Pansies do to the giant flowers they carry and protect.

To contrast with the mysticism of the Dragons, the Gnorcs are industrialists that have made a new home from the dragons' unwanted world; a dump that Gnasty Gnorc was banished to. Regarding why we are rescuing the same dragons, recall Apara's remark about not wanting to be trapped in crystal again implying that we are rescuing dragons that went to Gnasty's world to help Spyro and got re-captured.

I think the "You gotta believe!" line is a reference to (the best PS1 game) Parappa the Rapper? Though as far as I can tell Insomnia had nothing to do with that game other than sharing a platform with it.
