Spyro the Dragon Discussion Thread

I played Spyro Back in the Day, but never had a thought of going back to it so I'm not too interested.

 

There is a interview with some Toys For Bob staff on the new trilogy, it was pretty interesting to hear their imput about the creation of the game and their look back on the original series.
One really interesting thing they pointed out that I didn't notice- when Spyro uses his flame attack, the grass around the fire smolders and catches fire a bit!

 

:O PeaceKeepers Realm looks great! I wonder if they'll keep the soliders' mooning animation or if that'll be cut out..

 

Has there been any screenshots from the 2nd and 3rd games released yet? All I've seen so far were for the OG one.

 

I can't wait to see Elora and Hunter, oh and the Hurricos natives! I wonder if Tom Kenny will voice them again? The natives sounded so much like Spongebob, I loved it <3

 

I'm eager to see Frozen Altars! And what they'll do with the boxing minigame and the hockey game.

 

I've been re-playing Spyro 2 and hoowee I've been encountering a ton of glitches I've never experienced before. Accidental super jump, nearly clipped through buildings, and a audio glitch where several voice clips played at once!

Edit:
OH. MY. GOD. I just had the weirdest Spyro 2 glitch!
I was fighting a boss (Gulp), and got hit without sparx-instead of dying I was still alive and couldn't pause the game..until I died a few attacks later on.. WTF

 

I love Spyro the Dragon! It was my very first home console game back in the day, and I played the heck out of the original trilogy, especially Year of the Dragon for some reason. I'm stoked for the Reignited Trilogy~
I can't decide if I should pre-order physical or digital since it comes with the cool console theme.. Probably physical.
I played some of the GBA games when I was still young. as well as Enter the Dragonfly (somehow I was too stupid to notice the myriad of technical issues) and A Hero's Tail is probably the best post original trilogy game. I think I played the first game in the reboot but I didn't even finish it? Didn't buy any more Spyro games after that.

 

Started a 'speed run' of Spyro 1 (keeping track on how long it takes to complete a world, no intentional glitches, 99 lives cheat only).
Started at 6:00
Beat Artisans at 6:46 (46 minutes)
Beat Peace Keepers at 7:40 (94 minutes?? I'm not good at maths-if someone can help out that would be great)
Started day 2 at 3:00
Beat Magic Crafters at 3:57 (57 minutes)
Beat Beast Makers at 5:18 (161 minutes..?)

 

4 days ago Insomniac Games uploaded a speedrun of Spyro 3, where they also discussed the development of Spyro 3 and stuff!

 

So many glitches I never knew of! Actually, the swimming in the sky glitches in Year of the Dragon were probably the first ever game glitches I discovered as a kid.

 

Iirc either Burger King or McDonalds once had a Spyro toy giveaway, and I got one of the little Spyro figures. It was cute. Not sure where it went. Might've sold it at a yard sale years back >_>

 

...Tragedy has struck my speed run of Spyro 1 @SnowboundBecca
I started at 4:01 due to my game freezing 3 times (planned to start at 4:00 but the freeze made it a minute late)
Beat Dream Weavers at 5:03 (102 minutes?)
And then...The game messed up at Gnorc Gnexus. I beat Gnorc Cove but the next level didn't open up. Perhaps it was because I might have exited through the pause menu? I don't think I did, but that may be it.
I'm too upset to try right now..
