Spyro the Dragon (and other PS1 platformers)

Pretty good blog.

I agree. Kinda miss how surreal and dreamlike the atmosphere was in the first one. Felt very barren like a lot of early 3d titles, but in the good way.

I link this every time Spyro comes up.

>The original Spyro is far superior to its sequels, and I resent the direction Insomniac took with them.
I'm of the opposite opinion desu, but one thing I think is pretty consistent around all three was the pretty good art direction.

>holding resentment for 20 years over a game made for little kids

I just finished the original Spyro for the first time.

Its really easy compared to other ps1 platformers like crash, but it did age better and it was fun to search for all the stuff hidden in the levels, some jumps are frustrating, the final stage sucked, but it makes up for it with the bonus level to get the last gems in the game.


pretty gud, 120%completion/10

Can't you press all the L and R buttons to get Sparx to point to them?

>>4149437
That wasn't until Spyro 3.

>>4142480
Yeah, I like the original Spyro the best. No minigame bullshit, no backtracking due to needing some ability gained in a future world, no gating on the levels...just pure and simple exploration collect-a-thon.

And it had the best music.

HD remake when?

I've only played the first Spyro. Precise movement is a bit too difficult if you need to turn where you are

>>4149938
No, I'm pretty sure 2 had it as well. IIRC you don't have to unlock it like in 3, so it might be easy to not realise it's available.

The music is great but why doesn't it properly loop? Annoying how it fades out and then starts again

>>4149974
It's not playing the music through hardware where it can do the intro and then start looping at the appropriate point, it's just playing a cd track so it has to start from the beginning again.
