    Give it a go, see what you think. Controls are the same, feels natural to pick up if you've played the originals.
    Just treat it like the same games with a fresh coat of paint. Whether that coat of paint is entirely good or bad is up to you.

    Better than the original is subjective. It's a faithful remake but I prefer the original because the simplistic graphics and the world design around such graphics is so bright and vibrant. It really was one of a kind.

    It's version of Spyro 1 is the definitive version. It improves so much that needed doing to 1. Fixes the VA, makes the dragons stand out more.

    Spyro 2 and especially 3 are downgrades in enough areas that I suggest playing the originals (as long as you play NTSC GH of 3).

    This is a real TL;DR

    Spyro gets worse with each game. First game is great and still worth playing, second game is good and worth playing if you really like the first game, third game is mediocre and skippable.

        The forced backtracking because "oops sorry you haven't learned how to climb ladders yet" annoys me. Spyro 1 doesn't deal with that mess. Plus I overall prefer the puzzles and levels of the first game, I'd rather do supercharge puzzles through Tree Tops and Haunted Towers than herd cowleks or play a Hunter minigame.

        I agree with that anon. 2 isn't bad but 1 is a much tighter, more focused experience.
        Aesthetically I also prefer the music and world theming in 1.

      Bigger and more open levels with cleverly hidden secrets. Hell, an outright Metroidvania would suit Spyro well and give him the much needed evolution he needs without changing too much of the core gameplay.

        i was thinking about something more along the lines of classic spyro but with flying based on momentum with the ability to climb on more surfaces
        you could have really vertical worlds that could lend to a lot of cool platforming puzzles

    If you played the originals when you were a kid and have severe autism then you likely won't be able to get over some of the changes they made to the art style.

    On the other hand if you're not a complete and total sperg and you want to play the games with a flashy new coat of paint then this is the way to go. It doesn't improve much on the originals, because they're aged remarkably well given the fact they're early 3D games, but it does improve the camera control. Also there was an ability you could unlock in the third game that pointed you towards the nearest gem to collect all of them without poring over the whole level looking for the last one, the remake includes that in all three titles from the start.

    It's a very faithful remake however the SOUL of the original is gone for a fresh coat of paint that makes everything look "better".

    As someone who fell in love with the series and has played basically every Spyro game, i say it does a good job because it doesn't frick with the mechanics of the original. Design wise, i can see the obvious influence from Skylanders and a heaping dash of furry artists trying to make frickable dragons but if you can ignore that a bit, there's nothing wrong with it really.

    Original is objectively better. It's not a matter of opinion. The art and assets were done by talented Insomniac devs during 90s who wanted to leave their mark on the world vs the troony furry poos who did the remaster like mercs for Activision. It is truly the quintessential exemplar of soul vs soulless.

          You shouldn't. The ones that did the remake of the first spyro (the good one) was a different company (that also did the crash remakes). Another company did the second and third ones. That last company, is the one that did crash 4 wich is not that bad but far from good, they have the technical knowleage, but not the creatividy, direction, artistic merit, or understand what made crash fun, so I doubt they can with spyro, and since they already shown how they fail with remakes and a new game, a new spyro is not a good idea.

      You guys still keep to this talking point? Ganker is known for going on tard rages that last weeks anytime a female character's skirt or cleavage covers slightly more of her skin in her game's remake. That act of censorship is universally agreed upon to be a crime against artistic expression, masculinity, and beauty itself but I can't point out how a game's overall art style and color palette, things that are more integral to its identity as opposed to one character's article of clothing or lack thereof, is too eccentric for you?

    First game is very outdated, you won't notice it as much if it's your first time playing the series

    >Pointless censorship to Gnorcs with guns in S1 which ruins the aesthetic of Gnorc level.
    >Fricked up artstyle and character designs that ruins the aesthetic and designs from the originals
    There's no reason to bother with the remake when it has a worse artstyle and physics than the originals and doesn't add any new content whatsoever.
    The Crash remake at least added playable coco and time trials to crash 1 and 2 so you can make some reason if any to play those but reignited doesn't have any extra content, awful bugs which affect gameplay, controls, and your progress and it has a worse artstyle and lighting too
    Genuinely no reason to play reignited

    Gameplay-wise there is almost no difference between the originals and remake, other than fixing unintended physics exploits in the 2nd/3rd games. The remake does improve Agent 9's levels but that's literally two short levels in the entire game. And it gives you the Sparx gem-finder thing from the start of each game. Outside of that, the gameplay is like 99% identical to the originals.

    So really it's down to whether you prefer PS1 graphics or PS4 graphics. There's nothing objectively wrong with the remake's graphics, but things look different so Ganker will cry about it and claim the game is shit because this one NPC that appears in one level looks different than the original. Hence why every thread about this remake trilogy has the same b***hing:
    >muh skyboxes
    >muh soul
    >muh dream-like aesthetic
    it's just people b***hing about the graphics being different....yeah no shit it's a PS4 game, of course it's going to look different than a PS1 game.

    Personally I love that the remake gives every elder dragon an actual character now, and themes them all to their home worlds. A lot of the NPCs look better too, and Sheila's redesign makes her look less like a generic NPC. And made normies seethe about her being too sexualized because apparently women being attractive is a crime now.

    It’s worth playing. If you’ve never played the originals might as well go with it.

    these games are all overrated. PS2 games are especially bad.

    not faithful enough to original spyro to have him in the name, but still quite fun on its own

        the original game released in 2011, over a decade ago.
        I played it when I was 14.
        I'm 25 now and think its switching gimmick was clever.

    How long on average does it take to beat each of the 3 games? I want to play them tonight, but I don't have a lot of extra time on my hands.

      If you beeline the game, they only take like 2 or 3 hours each lol
      But if you are a completionist it will take many frustrating hours
