When you find art from when you were 5

The animators need a raise. The movements and facial expressions in the new cutscenes are sublime.

No one: Original models: *shake shake*

Okay but this is actually an unbelievable difference. Imagine showing these to someone who played the original back in the 90s.

I've said it on every "Spyro" video I've watched so far, and I'll say it here too. THE CHARACTER REDESIGNS ARE MAGNIFICENT.

I love that they managed to get a good number of the original voice actors back to redo their lines!

"What are you, some kind o' goat?" "I'm a FAUN, you DORK!" "Oh. Sorry." Interesting how the original and remastered versions have different reactions to Spyro's question. Original Elora is insulted, but remastered Elora finds his mistake a bit adorable.

This is it. Here we have it. I do NOT want hear anyone saying "the old stuff was bettterrrr". Not a soul.

13:53 I really love Spyro’s stretching animation! It’s so cute!

Moneybag should be the activision mascot. he fits them.

It feels like a totally different game. It's more than just a remaster. Completely remade. And I love all the variety in the dragon's designs.

I love how hunter looks so stupid in the first game

Looking back now, Tom Kenny’s voice acting for Spyro was really kinda monotone. The Reignited Trilogy really shows how much he’s improved in voice acting over the years.

I'm very suprised that this isn't a movie. Seriously, a spyro movie wouldn't be a bad idea.

9:19 Hunter was about to let him have it.

i love how the cutscenes are Quicker and more expressive

Original’s best quality: Their jiggles

Man, they really recreate the old game, word for freaking word. Amazing, just got the game on the Switch, cant wait

"Where'd Alora go? I better follow her!" wtf she told you to sit there and chill

Is anyone going to talk about the motivational posters in the remastered Spyro 1 intro?

I preferred hunter's original voice actor. But I always felt like I could hear the actors spitting their words in the old dialogue. Especially Alora lol

I feel like money bags deserves all the abuse he's getting! LOL

1:33 I can’t help but feel bad for Gnasty Gnorc when he has that voice

Elora's design on reignited is so gorgeous!😍

The only thing I prefer about the old cutscenes is the music and some of the old voice actors. But the new animation and character design is top notch

I feel like the old has a wonky and goofy charm to it while the new one is just really beautiful

Hunter looked so funny in the original

3:45 and 4:27 Spyro see's his dragon buddies get turned to stone. "Ah S***, here we go again."

Elora: *Gets Redesigned* Rule 34: "A'ight, Imma ruin this girl's entire career."

I like how the Reignited remaster of Year of the Dragon had each animal friend in the cages speak before they were freed. In the original, especially as they were locked up and held by Moneybags, they remained stationary.

I've never even played either set of spyro games but seeing these cutscenes side by side just makes me so happy! It's amazing to see what they've done without the technical limitations of the time... Also: the sound design shouldn't go without acknowledgement either

PS1 models always look like they're held together with cheap glue and might fall apart any minute if they move around too much.

Why does the original look like it has content aware scale on it

34:28 OH MY GOD THE DRAWINGS!!! I MISSED THISE SO MUCH, I COMPLETELY FORGOT THAT THEY EXISTED BUT THEN I SEE THEM AND MY HEART IS HAPPY AGAIN!! nostalgia at its finest

58:56 Thumbnail

I love how Spyro wiggles like a cat before headbutting sheep He's adorable

I just realized Bianca’s reignite voice acter is TellTales Clem!

HOW ARE THERE DRAGON EGGS WHEN THERE AREN'T ANY FEMALE DRAGONS IN-GAME!?!?!?!?

“What’s a minion?” *Sweating* Time traveler Spyro: “Uh, nevermind..”

I have to admit; out of all things I was looking forward to in HD, it was Elora kissing Spyro. D'awwwww

In terms of improvement, I think the best has got to be the endings to 3. I love the new cutscenes as is. They are so adorable with their updated expressions, but 3 has got to be the epitome of cute. Elora and Spyro have some wonderful chemistry and the secret ending is so much better with Spyro interacting more positively with the baby dragons.

“What’s a minion?” “Uhhh...never mind.”

Man, they really went miles above and beyond for this project. Absolutely amazing!

I've always felt like there was something almost asmr-like about the original voice acting for Elora. like, I'm not sure if it was the actress or the recording equipment but the subtle little pops on the Ps and Ts were so organic and kinda lovely

I never got a chance to play Spyro when I was younger (I was basically a baby when it came out), but I'm really amazed that I could just recognize some of the voice actors right away. Also yes, there's a STARK CONTRAST between two decades worth of work but it's beautiful. I wish I got to play it when I was younger.

46:05 money bear can’t survive in this market

Honestly, I just love how gnasty gnorg has just a bunch of inspirational meme posters in his room.

With the original graphics, the ending was so jarring. Spyro had such a concerned expression on his face, and the music was unsettling

I always try to stay level headed in 'new vs old' and while many games suck really hard with remakes and capturing the tone of the old ones; Spyro Trilogy did a really fine job.

Elora and Bianca look phenomenal. And don't even get me started on Agent 9. Nice job designers.

I know everyone's chuffed with the high quality graphics of the remake, but it's also interesting how different the cutscenes are in terms of tone or little inflections. There's details in the voice acting and little touches in the animations that alter some of the character's personalities in small ways, and the music is very different too. Not better or worse I stress! It's just unique, and I'm glad to have this video around to see them side by side c:

Whenever I see Hunter I instantly hear him saying "Spyro!" like he hasn't seen him in 10 years

"You can't even keep track of your running shoes, how can we trust you with 14 talismans?" "I had shoes?!" "Before you go to the castle dungeon Spyro, I thought that you'd might want to know how Ripto and his mosters arrived in Avalar. You see..." "Hunter's fault?" "Um.. yes. Hunter's fault."

They really put a lot of extra effort into this. Including changing how cutscenes actually function, not just a visual upgrade

The fact that they got Clementine herself, Melissa Hutchinson as Bianca's voice actor is great to me honestly.

I'm especially impressed with the new animations. The old ones mostly sat in one place and moved their arms. It's so beautiful now!

The remake's cutscenes are so damn good that it makes the old scenes feel weird going back to.

I love how much more expressive everyone is in Reignited Trilogy! I also like how there are a few new lines in the Year of the Dragon remake like at 36:21 and 59:42

The old one just gives me the best childhood vibes

I love watching the difference in cutscenes. Its astonishing the difference that a few decades can make

*Sees Bianca in her hood* Aw they made her really cute! *Sees her alternate outfit* ...... *sighs with self disgust and starts a rule 34 search*

Loved spyro as a kid. The reignited took a different but beautiful approach. One of the few 'remakes' that stayed true to tge original gameplay but reignited it... it was great to see so much detail. But played the same so the memories came back and the appreciation for the new graphics. In this rare instance it's sort of the best of both.

Reporter: "What's a Minion?" Spyro: "Uh, nevermind."

Seeing these super old graphics threw me through a nostalgia loop. I haven’t played the old games in probably a decade.

I always find two things funny where Aussie characters are involved. 1. Sometimes the English VA is just slightly off so it was nice to hear an Australian play an Australian. 2. So often they use Aussie terms that I never hear any Aussies use, for example, wahzoo.

Hunter used to be so scary but now he's adorable

"What's a minion?" Spyro: uhhh... *thinks for a second* never mind. Do you think Spyro predicted the future? 😱

Bianca is even more Lola Bunny now.

Everyone who worked on this game had to know that Reignited had a lot to live up to. While I myself don't have the nostalgia for these games that others do (I only had Ripto's Rage as a kid, bought it because I had money burning a hole in my pocket, but never beat it) I know people, both online and in real life, who could tell you these nice stories about how Spyro defined their childhood and taste in gaming and gush about the memories of these games. But even I can say that Toys for Bob NAILED it. Not only does the game make tons of QOL updates that were sorely needed, not only are the controls as smooth as butter and feel great, not only are the games fun both for casual players and die hard completionists, but these cutscenes...my god. Everything about this game looks and sounds amazing. The actors breathe life into their characters and sound like they're having fun voicing them. The animators made these already charming cutscenes ten thousand times better, and the artists made believable changes to characters. The updates to the character designs, be they as drastic as Sheila's or as basic as Bentley's, look amazing, no one looks out of place. Even the little things like Sargent Byrd waddling, Shelia giving Moneybags the Stink eye while she's in her cage, and the extra details, big or small, in the cutscenes, all of it oozes charm, and you can tell that this is a labor of love. Toys for Bob can hold their heads up high having this game on their resume. It's not perfect, but then, what is a perfect game, and what gives you the right to decide that for everyone else? I am about halfway through Year of the Dragon and I'm having a ball with it. Bravo, Toys for Bob, Bravo. You fine ladies and gentlemen made the game great for both the fans of the original and for newcomers, and that's something worth patting yourself on the back over.

51:28 that face tho

47:43 Those eyes are piercing through my soul

Nah I’m going to soak up some rays. 3 seconds later he’s asking where she went... they could have fixed that wording a little bit lol

Nobody: The old graphics: *wobble*

I like how they kept the cartoon violence. They hardly changed the original scripting at all. Ripto straight up burns to death in lava and they kept it in. I'm happy that this doesn't suffer from too much new age censorship.

I’ve been a Spyro fan since I can remember. I love these games. I really was blown away by the remake. Despite its amazing quality I still prefer the OG soundtrack and character designs even though they were simpler

6:04 "Calm down Hunter, and stop fidgeting." Isn't that what all PS1 models did?

Hunter still overthinking how to control his running shoes to this day

I actually Sat through the whole thing...neat.

This is how you do a successful remake of a great game!

One thing I’ve noticed: the remaster of the cutscene at 21:59, Ripto’s laughter now echoes as the flags change to reflect his takeover of the castle. Nice touch.

Spyro for Smash DLC!

*23:27** His eyes lmaoooo*

I love Spyro’s new voice. I also love all the new dragon designs.

Man...these re-vamp is INCREDIBLE!!!

The thumbnail is actually one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever seen

The comparisons are really nice. Seeing how they improved. It would be cool if the old voice actors were the voice actors for the new version but the animation is spot on!

Wow. She was going to kill all the hatchlings for a spell!?

Woah, the graphics literally look like a movie.. the people that animated this are amazing :0

17:52 so, really quick, I think Crush hitting the side of the portal is a joke of how in the original Ripto's Rage game, Hunter put in the coordinates by just touching the side of the portal, just saying Edit: here's proof. 14:27

>everyone around you freeze into crystals, possibly dead Spyro: "l0oKｓ LiKＥ i'Ve gOt s0Me THiNgS t0 dO." >villain proceeds to ignore the one dragon that got away right in front of his TV view Such cinematic genius. 👏

I played the game and I freaked out when I heard clem as Bianca’s voice I’m like WAIT IS THAT CLEMENTINE????!!!!! :0000

isnt it wierd that all adult dragons are...well..male? Where did the eggs even come from?

It’s godlike. Gave it charm and made it more beautiful than ever imaginable.

it is disgusting just how much charm the reignited trilogy has.

Me : can we get Spyro Mom : we have spyro at home Spyro at home :

6:43 Nobody: Hunter: 👁️ 👁️ 👄

I really miss old Hunter and Bianca though. Hunter used to come off as dumb in a bro way, but the new seems dumber and more of a wimp. And Biana felt sassier an more driven. This one seems more innocent and soft spoken. They aren't bad by any means, I just hold the old ones near and dear bc Year of the Dragon and Enter the Dragonfly were *massive* parts of my childhood.

Year of the Dragon is still my favorite Spyro story.

"Where'd Elora go? I'd better go follow her!" Yeah, I would too. So cute! And I'm pretty sure she digs Spyro.

Elora in original: I'm a FAUN you DORK >l Elora in Reignited: *tilts down* I'm a faun you dork!~ Honestly think reignited is far more wholesome
