[captioner comments in brackets]

00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:05.360
♪ Spyro 3: Seashell Shore
Spyro the Dragon was the first video game character that ever had any real impact on me.

00:00:05.800 --> 00:00:07.760
I had a PS1 as a very young child,

00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:12.960
and the original PS1 Spyro trilogy were the first games that I could really say that I loved.

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:15.820
I put hundreds and hundreds of hours into these games,

00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:19.340
and I still go back to play all three of them at least once a year.

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:23.060
Needless to say, the announcement of a remaster has me overjoyed [that's an understatement],

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.400
but being the cautiously optimistic person I am, I'm not without my concerns.

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:31.140
This video is certainly different from my usual fare [duh],

00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:36.380
but I feel like this video essay format is a perfect way for me to get my thoughts out in a manner that maybe,

00:00:36.620 --> 00:00:37.440
just MAYBE,

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:39.620
people will actually pay attention to,

00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:44.280
instead of brushing it off like a wall of unwanted nuisance that clogs up the Discord servers. [i'll say]

00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:54.060
♪ Spyro 2: Sunny Beach

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.320
The Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy released not long ago.

00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:03.380
It sold amazingly well, and is now getting ported to other platforms. [thank god for timed exclusives]

00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.920
This is probably at least partially responsible for the Spyro trilogy being made as well,

00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:12.000
or at least it shows that Activision sees it as a successful business venture. [probably this one]

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.180
What I find hilarious about Crash's reception, however,

00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:20.080
is that the critics were having a field day bashing the small changes to the controls. [whining imo]

00:01:20.740 --> 00:01:23.620
To put it bluntly, those changes do not matter.

00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:26.280
You can still beat the game just fine.

00:01:26.580 --> 00:01:30.200
For every last thing that the original game ~supposedly did better~,

00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:33.060
there's three other problems that the remaster fixed.

00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:37.960
My own gripes with the N-Sane Trilogy are actually mostly graphical,
[you kids and your darn 4KHD skin-cell graphics]

00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:41.180
because the gameplay is -almost- spot-on.

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:42.300
Almost. [but no cigar]

00:01:42.940 --> 00:01:46.340
The N-Sane Trilogy's issues can be separated into two categories:

00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:49.000
aesthetic problems and execution problems.

00:01:49.340 --> 00:01:52.540
The execution problems are more concrete and easier to explain,

00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:54.160
so I will start with this.

00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:56.400
This room has no lighting.

00:01:56.820 --> 00:01:59.940
There are many spots in the game where there's no lighting applied at all,

00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:02.360
and this doesn't seem to be a bug or error,

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:04.520
because it happens 100% of the time. [it works, every time]

00:02:04.820 --> 00:02:05.320
[sudden ASMR]

00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:08.320
There are other times, uh, primarily in the game over screens,

00:02:08.320 --> 00:02:10.820
where the lighting will randomly FAIL to render,

00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:12.340
which IS an error, [or is it]

00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:18.020
and... alongside that, the depth perception is still honestly a valid complaint as well,

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.500
albeit a little bit exaggerated.

00:02:21.980 --> 00:02:27.720
Furthermore, I find the 30FPS lock simultaneously harmless, but also unnecessary,

00:02:27.980 --> 00:02:30.160
especially if you're playing on a PS4 Pro,

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:37.320
which has no real graphical upgrade with this game compared to the original PS4, as far as I can tell.

00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:41.560
The original games were 30FPS on the PS1,

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.420
and obviously you can beat it just fine like this,

00:02:44.420 --> 00:02:44.920
[**I move away from the mic to breathe in]

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:48.540
but when the computing power is available to render at 60FPS,

00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:50.860
there's zero downsides to doing so,

00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:55.000
and I feel like I'm being cheated out of something that I should be entitled to,

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.980
if I have the hardware to do it.

00:02:56.980 --> 00:02:57.880
[**I move away from the mic to breathe in]

00:02:58.100 --> 00:03:01.340
If you can't tell, I'm a PC gamer as my platform of choice. [that explains it]

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:02.360
Don't @me. [how do you do fellow kids]

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:06.040
Other problem is more of a subjective concern, [sic]

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.720
but it's still something that I think should be addressed.

00:03:08.880 --> 00:03:11.080
Let me compare a couple quick shots for you.

00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:17.340
(Original VS Remaster: Crash 1 Intro and Crash 2 First Meeting)

00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:21.120
[here comes the roast]

00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:29.160
If you honestly think that this boring-ass, default pose, piece of shit head with the game engine's built-in opacity setting set to 70%,

00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:32.240
and -every other object property- left at default,

00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:33.200
somehow,

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:34.240
looks better,

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.620
than these BEAUTIFULLY stylized and signature Naughty Dog works of art,

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:40.440
unsubscribe right now. ["also block me on twitter"]

00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:47.840
I promise you, this would have looked absolutely BADASS if they actually took the effort to code in all those extra lighting and scanline effects,

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.520
the slight distortion of the polygons,

00:03:49.540 --> 00:03:50.240
and so on,

00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:50.740
[**I move away from the mic to breathe in]

00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:51.620
but they just

00:03:51.880 --> 00:03:52.380
didn't,

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:53.480
and it looks

00:03:53.740 --> 00:03:54.600
boring.

00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.520
This extends to the animations as well.

00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.780
Many of them in the remaster are made to be overly smooth and realistic?

00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:08.260
Which kind of goes against the aesthetic and design that made the original so unique and identifiable.

00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:11.760
It generally makes the game feel kinda floaty and buttery??

00:04:11.820 --> 00:04:13.580
kinda muted??? i guess????

00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:16.120
When the originals were poppy and exciting.

00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:16.620
[**I move away from the mic to breathe in]

00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:19.160
Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the remasters

00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.260
and they're arguably still the definitive way to play these games,

00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:24.760
but there is a boatload of missed potential here.

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:26.280
So, with that...

00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:30.960
I can seque into the actual topic I'm trying to cash in on while it's still relevant on social media:

00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:31.960
Spyro the Dragon.

00:04:35.140 --> 00:04:44.300
♪ Spyro 3: Midday Gardens

00:04:45.340 --> 00:04:51.300
In the case of Spyro, I don't think the animation makes quite as much of a difference here as it did for Crash.

00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:51.800
[**I move away from the mi- okay i'll stop)

00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.880
The original Spyro games already had quite smooth animation,

00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:57.780
and most of its visual appeal comes from the art direction.

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:00.240
As we can see from the screenshots we already have,

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.460
it seems to be mostly preserved, albeit with a lot of embellishing?

00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:04.620
But that's fine. [*house burning down*]

00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:09.160
I'm not sure how I feel about the design of this one baddie from the first hub world,

00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.680
I can't help but feel like he belongs in a mobile game for some reason???

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.180
[gushing alert]

00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:18.180
But Spyro himself is an adorable precious good boy and I wanna hug him.

00:05:18.640 --> 00:05:19.400
And that's GOOD. [and that's terrible.]

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.680
Unlike a certain ~other~ character who honestly..... kinda should be a bit more edgy..........

00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:31.840
The worlds themselves change a lot of colors, and mess with the terrain geometry a little,

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:34.180
or at least I think they do, based on this video right here...

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.340
But most of this is rather superfluous, and as such is completely harmless.

00:05:39.340 --> 00:05:43.280
This is a 100% subjective and ultimately meaningless opinion,

00:05:43.760 --> 00:05:48.340
but I honestly wish they kept the first hub world with the bright midday greens and blues...?

00:05:48.340 --> 00:05:50.540
rather than giving it that orangey evening look?

00:05:51.140 --> 00:05:54.960
My personal favorite Spyro levels are mostly the bright and poppy ones,

00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:57.640
'cause they feel kinda, comfortable? homey?

00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.900
Anyway, I'm not particularly worried about the graphics, based on what we see thus far,

00:06:01.900 --> 00:06:06.260
as long as they don't continue with this trend of robbing me of my precious, bright and happy daytime...

00:06:06.340 --> 00:06:06.840
[you stole my joke]

00:06:06.900 --> 00:06:09.080
Everything seems fine in terms of graphics.

00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:13.760
As for the controls, there's always the importance of depth perception in a platformer,

00:06:13.880 --> 00:06:15.480
-especially- one with this much

00:06:15.620 --> 00:06:18.660
G          L          I          D          I          N          G

00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.960
Movement of Spyro himself should also be snappy,

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:25.180
and if I'd change anything from the originals,

00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:26.920
I'd make it his turn speed.

00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.060
As much as I like watching him actually ~turn around~,

00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:35.600
it has caused me to fuck up several landings due to jumping from a different point than I intended to. [git gud]

00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:41.280
Otherwise, there's things like acceleration time, stopping speed, general movement, friction speeds... [A-presses... wait]

00:06:41.640 --> 00:06:45.240
All of which could definitely be obnoxious if they do it poorly?

00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:48.180
But I still don't think it would be completely game-breaking,

00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:49.900
as long as it's not, like, horrific.

00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:53.140
Ultimately, this really should be left how it was,

00:06:53.340 --> 00:06:57.860
since the level design is largely based around Spyro's movement, because, of course it is?

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:03.980
But knowing how remasters tend to go, I'm gonna have to expect them to do -some- changes.

00:07:04.700 --> 00:07:06.520
My biggest concern by far is-

00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:13.680
*obnoxiously long and increasingly loud drumroll*

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.620

*the city population goes under mass hysteria*

00:07:17.580 --> 00:07:19.400
*the entire city is burning down by the minute*

00:07:19.460 --> 00:07:21.120

*and it's all your fault, Shinji*

This is a good change.

00:08:01.460 --> 00:08:06.960
They slowed down the song and added some instruments to really embody the atmosphere and the mood of the environment,

but they still maintained the original creative integrity present in the original track. [original.]

They decide to absolutely neuter the composition, remove most of those instruments and embellishments,

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:16.980
*THINGS GET WORSE*
They decide to absolutely neuter the composition, remove most of those instruments and embellishments,

00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:20.880
They decide to absolutely neuter the composition, remove most of those instruments and embellishments,

00:10:21.140 --> 00:10:29.080
they even compressed the sound stage into this limp, mono-ish, weirdness?? that kinda sounds like it's coming through a wall????

00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:31.700
I'm not the only one who hears that, right?

00:10:32.760 --> 00:10:33.260
...right??

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:35.500
...ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ?

00:10:37.340 --> 00:10:40.480
But hey, at the melody's still good, so it's still better than X/Y.

00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.120
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:46.600
Spyro's soundtrack is one of the most memorable parts of the entire series.

00:10:46.780 --> 00:10:48.840
Stewart Copeland, have my babies. [gross]

00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:54.640
Your work in all three of these games is beautifully unique, and complements the game perfectly.

00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:59.900
It stays in my head way longer than it should, seriously, -curse- the damn Spyro 1 credits theme.

00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:01.220
Just-

♪ Spyro PS1 Trilogy: End Credits

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.680
Seriously, you deserve -so- many awards. ❤️

00:11:15.780 --> 00:11:20.460
Obviously, they aren't gonna reuse the same old audio tracks, or at least, I hope they wouldn't...

00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:23.940
So I can't help but wonder exactly how they're gonna change the songs,

00:11:23.940 --> 00:11:30.260
I'm absolutely okay with atmosphere changes, key changes, instrument changes, added melodies, -any of that-...

00:11:30.680 --> 00:11:34.220
So long as it still works to the benefit of the atmosphere it represents,

00:11:34.260 --> 00:11:37.780
and is on the same level of quality or greater than the original.

00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.860
If the song is bright and adventurous, NONE OF THIS SHIT.

00:11:42.020 --> 00:11:44.060

00:11:46.400 --> 00:11:47.880
Let the drums slam. [LET THE BASS KICK]

00:11:47.880 --> 00:11:49.820
Don't shy away from harder noises.

00:11:50.020 --> 00:11:52.320
If the song is melancholy and atmospheric,

00:11:52.560 --> 00:11:55.300
𝓈𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹 me with it, 𝒾𝓂𝓂𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑒 me.

00:11:55.740 --> 00:12:00.260
You can even switch songs to different moods entirely, so long as you execute it well.

00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:05.280
The original songs are all executed damn near perfectly, so at this point...

00:12:05.660 --> 00:12:07.840
...just, we have to wait and see if they fuck it up. [hopefully not]

00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.860
A little extra idea would be the option to -enable- the original soundtrack,

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:14.800
which Pokemon HG/SS actually did as well,

00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:18.180
although in their case, it's a late-game unlockable?

00:12:18.420 --> 00:12:21.920
Personally, I'd rather make it a menu option from the start,

00:12:22.300 --> 00:12:27.520
but doing this would prevent anyone from bitching about the new soundtrack, since the old one's always available,

00:12:27.520 --> 00:12:31.180
and it means if the new soundtrack -does- suck, we don't have to deal with it. :^)

00:12:32.140 --> 00:12:32.860
Anyway...

00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:37.500
Pretty much 2/3 of this video was about the music, so I should move on to the next thing. [yeah, you should.]

00:12:39.400 --> 00:12:49.180
♪ Spyro 3: Sunny Villa

00:12:49.680 --> 00:12:53.560
As with any remaster, the optimal final product should essentially be...

00:12:53.860 --> 00:13:03.340
Improving a masterpiece to best utilize the new technology, and the resources that are now available, to exist in the best possible form that it can.

00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.380
Changes should only be made where necessary?

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:08.900
Or where it entails nothing but improvements,

00:13:08.900 --> 00:13:14.880
and otherwise, it should preserve the creative integrity and design of the product upon which it is based. [my, how verbose.]

00:13:15.780 --> 00:13:22.180
In the grander scheme, however, if Spyro is as successful or more successful than Crash has been in this past year...

00:13:22.380 --> 00:13:24.700
It could possibly mean two things.

00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:31.680
Either Activision could revitalize Spyro into an active property once more, and continue making more games, [just no filler please]

00:13:32.140 --> 00:13:32.760
Or...

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:37.540
This could prod the industry as a whole to consider making more 3D platformers.

00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:44.380
Games like Yooka-Laylee and A Hat In Time were the forerunners of this modern revival of 3D platformers that's already happening,

00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:52.100
but I think it's big companies like Activision who have the power to really solidify it as a mainstream genre once again.

00:13:53.480 --> 00:14:00.080
Since this genre of games were the single biggest aspect of my entire life, during my most formative childhood years,

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.160
I can't help but hope that the genre makes a return.

00:14:03.540 --> 00:14:08.660
Though at the same time, I don't want Moneybags on their board of directors, if you know what I mean.

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:13.840
I'm absolutely okay with remasters and even re𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘴 when they're done well.

00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:19.640
A masterpiece will always remain a masterpiece, so long as they maintain the ingredients that made it good.

00:14:19.900 --> 00:14:26.680
Even if they are somewhat of a cash-grab, because remasters are comparatively cheaper to produce than a proper new game,

00:14:27.020 --> 00:14:33.840
I'm still not opposed to getting the opportunity to make a great game even better, and to experience it in its ideal form.

00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:49.140
I mean, shit, would you rather pay $60 to play a package of several, 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭, excellent games that you've already played before, but refreshed and revitalized with all sorts of cool new stuff to make them fresh and new again,

00:14:49.640 --> 00:14:50.280
or...

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:59.300
...would you rather pay $60 for a disappointing chunk of one game, that cost upwards of $200 to get the full package?

00:14:59.780 --> 00:15:03.700
Between the two AAA trends right now, I greatly prefer this one.
