It only took 8 years, but we finished Spyro 1 on this channel. Thank you so much for sticking with me all this time.
Reignited and it feels so good! Let's Play & Break Spyro: Reignited Trilogy
A bit late, but this was a great LP, thanks for the entertainment. Original Spyro is my favourite game ever - all the gimmicky minigames, vehicles and other characters in 2 and 3 just got in the way of dragoning. Still enjoyed all your old Let's Breaks, and looking forward to the new versions. It'll be fun to see if each level can be broken in the same ways.
As an aside, have you ever thought about LPing Shadow Legacy? It's... not exactly stellar, but passable at least, and maybe breakable. My copy randomly developed a bug where most of the character models (except Spyro) lost their textures and instead had the same creepy mottled black-and-white texture. Quite unsettling, and I quickly sold it after that.

I'm interesting in giving Shadow Legacy a spin for sure. Never played it beyond 5 minutes!
On that note:
Coming soon...
Spyro's little "Wow!" twirl when getting an orb/talisman is cute. Much more comfortable than bending one's head backwards while wings clip through it.
Why are we smashing up containers and collecting gems in Avalar? It never gets explained. I like to think Spyro's just stealing them out of habit now, and nobody dares to ask why. Classic dragon entitlement.
Does this remake still have the colour-changing/big-head cheat codes?
I seem to remember Spyro 3 having some kind of hidden difficulty setting, that unwittingly made some levels impossible to complete (Fireworks Factory). They've probably scrapped that.

Dunno about the difficulty, but there's still many cheat codes! All of the same ones and a couple of extra.Icyflight wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 7:27 pmSpyro's little "Wow!" twirl when getting an orb/talisman is cute. Much more comfortable than bending one's head backwards while wings clip through it.

God I love the homeworlds in this game.
Hey TECHNICALLY it's still a thing.Icyflight wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 11:31 pmAir swimming isn't a thing after all? Darn. You got everyone hyped up with that two-second preview earlier!
Portal warp was cool though, and getting trapped in the tube, beautiful. Why would the devs bother to give it a solid and textured bottom, if not to catch sneaky players?
Oh yeah, here's that hunter moment from Ep2 by itself without our commentary
These redesigned levels are so pretty. All the levels in Spyro 1 were gorgeous too. It's incredible how they started with such basic blocky environments and turned them into these.
Okay, a little bit of air swimming is better than none! It's quite surreal seeing the whole level with the sea underneath it.

What that fish saw was never meant to be seen.
Thank you! That makes it worth it

Boss time!
Crush-o-matic
I always loved that big castle. Epic journey to the top and admire the view, never gets old. The designers never managed it again, did they? Evening Lake felt like an attempt, but fell flat as it was such a small level, and the areas were disjointed.
Not applicable to this level, but: I'm impressed they remade all the before/after level cutscenes. It's the sort of content that would be easy to cut, and bring the game in line with 1 and 3.
But keeping the guidebook in cutscenes, while removing it everywhere else? Strange.

Yay ladders! What a strange bug. Hitting the ladder while flying somehow keeps climbing status on, and makes other surfaces climbable...??
Fracture Hills is kind of... there. The setting is a neat idea and I really want to like it, but nah. Maybe if there was less escort mission and more of a temple to explore.
New Badlands look fantastic, a proper transformation.

I think it's more like, it stops you from exiting a climbing state, and that once you're in that state, anything is climbable.
War... has changed.
Also, it never changes.
Both of these levels look amazing. Such visual improvement that they're only half-recogniseable, imo.
I have fond memories of air swimming really high above the Harbour until Spyro froze, the music stopped and random lines of European voice acting started playing.
Haha, they left those tiny corners, with tantalising hints of air floating. Cmon devs. Your attempts at patching it out are just teasing us now.

Clearly they couldn't stand giving Spyro praise for the weird stuff he'd been doing up till then.
Holy cow!! Forget air swimming, this is much more amazing. Beautiful stuff.
I've never watched a Spyro speedrun but now I need to. Are there any that fly through the whole games? (even though it's 'disallowed' or something)
Can you fly under Magic Crafters and have another look at the mysterious Hurricos enemy?
