Fun Fact: Insomniac invented a little thing called Level of Detail for this very game. Rather than using fog to cover up poor draw distance, each structure or part of the landscape would get less detailed the farther you got from it and vice versa, ensuring the world's still _look_ big but don't mess with the game's performance!
Dynamite Grizzly your comment reminds me of did you know gaming
Did they actually invent it though? There were plenty of games that used lower poly models when seen at a distance. Super Mario 64 being another example. I would at least give them credit for having the structures visible, but not having any rendered textures until close. I dont think I've seen any other game do that specifically.
ThundagaT2 Yeah they realized the PS1 could render a Lot more untextured Polygons than textured ones. I think they were the first to use level of detail on the PS, but Games on other Systems propably did it First.
LOD existed way before this, just maybe not on the PS1. it was being used on PC at the time and as someone pointed out, SM 64.
I think the point is that it's unique application of LOD, where it's used on the environment's textures as well as the objects' polys.
"The Reignited Trilogy is amazing. It really makes you *feel* like Spyro."

7.5 out of 10, too much animal.
7/10 its got a little something for everyone
It really makes you feel like batman
7.5/10, to prove that we are evil, we will forcepeople to stop saying it’s any better than Sonic Free Riders! - IGN
@Nehemiah Lawrence-Garcia Yes, but it’s SFR is *far* from all of the examples of condescending IGN reviews defended by tantrummy cyberbullies that just tell you to “get good” at games
that they try (and of course fail)
to make look playable.
*THANK YOU FOR RE-RELASING ME!*
I can control your mind and take over the world hahahahaha

The thing that always bugged me-even as a kid-about releasing the dragons is that sometimes their dialog just explained a game mechanic that you _had_ to already use just to release the dragon in the first place. Like, thanks for telling me how to defeat the enemies that were in front of you… after I already did.
RIGHT
Like the dragon in front of Sunny Flight in Artisans should've told you about it
Not a dragon like a world away
I think the designers assumed folks would... circumvent the enemies that they couldn't defeat, save the dragons, and then you'd learn how to deal with them in case you didn't know.
...then there's the moments where you absolutely need to use a glide to reach them, and then they teach you about the glide. Yeah, unless they talk about "do it at the tip of the top of the tip of your jump" schpiel (which is common sense but what can ya do), no excuses about that one.
The sound from collecting gems is one of the most satisfying video game noises to date.
Gnasty’s loot isn’t a reward for beating gnasty, it’s a reward for 100% completing the game.
Gnasty's Loot is a 100% reward, not just something you get after beating the game. And of course the balloonist restricts your progress until you collect a certain number of items.
Not to mention the true endings, that's what we go for in Spyro
Be fair, if you just collect everything anyway, every time, you'd never notice.
Ninetailedknight..Yes you would since on the last world even if you've collected everything until then, a dragon tells you to basically come back once you've got everything.
@@pannacottafugo1875 oh, right. My bad. Forgot.
Ninetailedknight I always collect everything in the Spyro games and I remember each and every time that you need 100% completion to unlock Gnasty’s Loot, Dragon Shores, and the Super Bonus Level, idk for me it’s just something I don’t ever forget
"No incentive to collect stuff"
Anyone wanna tell him you can only access Gnasty's Loot, that level he loves, if you collect everything?
They already did too many times.
Watch his next vid
You complain that collecting the gems and stuff have no reward... then you say that Gnasty's Loot is a reward for beating the final boss??, You're incorrect, Gnasty's Loot IS!! the reward for collecting all the gems and stuff... If you don't have everything and beat Gnasty then his Loot stays closed.
That, and the balloonists require you to collect a certain amount of either gems, dragons, or eggs to let you go to the next home world.
Yup that too, they're basically Spyro 1's equivalent to Money Bags.
He probably just collects everything before heading to the Balloonists / Gnasty and forgot there were requirements for those things.
It doesn't surprise me, even Spyro 2's roadblocks are easy, the one I notice a lot is Autumn Plain's professor door needing 8 orbs. But for me Spyro 1's Beast Maker's balloonist I need more dragons, otherwise I just get enough for every level. So 100% players rarely notice it, but I too thought I'd comment on that, since it should have been noticed when making a re-review. Or even as a Spyro fan, its not a tough detail to miss.
I attempted to try a playthrough where I get less collectables, but the Spyro wiki has the requirements for the game so I gave up on that playthrough and I also watched a Spyro 2 video on the requirements or skipped over dialogue responses and the games roadblocks are really easy. The highest of requirements is like 40 or so orbs I think for Ripto or something else. Its just sad when you 100% it but notice the easy requirements. Spyro 3's I don't know though about its roadblocks since for the most part I thought only Sunrise Spring's level needed the egg counts, but I 100% the game everytime I play and not checked the wiki so I'm not sure. But considering doing it now to be sure. th-cam.com/video/ELFePz0IEDA/w-d-xo.html (Spyro 2 gem/orb roadblocks) spyro.wikia.com/wiki/Balloonists (balloonists requirements) That seems about it for my findings of requirements unless you really do play the game with less collecting.
It’s not reuploaded, it’s reignited!
SHOW-BIZ NETWORK PRODUCTIONS Eh! ! !
W
SHOW-BIZ NETWORK PRODUCTIONS wow, you really BLEW me away
Spyro 1's my favourite because of the lack of back tracking and relatively low difficulty. It's a really nice game to just start up and fully complete in one run from memory alone. It's really relaxing and a great way to come down from a hectic day.
You can still do that in the second game, but it requires a cheat code.
How so?...
@@Cheezmonka if you use a cheat code that unlocks all of your moves. you can pretty much complete every level without having the backtrack. Look online for input codes.
Hard agree, 1 is my favorite to complete because I can do it in one go from start to finish.
Spyro 1 is my go-to sick day video game.
you have to collect things to progress through the worlds. The balloonist will check to see if you've collected enough gems, dragons, or eggs before you can continue. Not to mention the gnasty's loot stage.
The fact that it is so easy to please the balloonists though brings up another red flag for the game's easy difficulty problem
How would you make it more difficult though? Ramping up the baloonist requirements? Most people just try to collect everything by default, so of course they'll meet the requirements once they speak to the balloonist. And a lot of the stages have some well hidden / hard to reach spots that took my father and me hours to find back in the day. The key in Stone Hill, the Dragon in Dry Canyon, the gems behind the start of Cliff Town and of course the two most infamous levels, Tree Tops and Haunted Towers. Nowadays you can of course just look this up on the internet and most of us remember how to reach those spots after playing it once. But back then it was pretty challenging, especially for a child. One of my friends never managed to get 100%.
I find it funny that no one bats an eye for Pinstripe's machine gun but everyone loses their mind at the guns the Gnorcs have in Twilight Harbor.
Do people really complain about the guns in Twilight Harbor? I mean, the Gnorcs also had cannons and knives at one point in the game.
@@rednebula3503 And grenades.
Spyro was my first ever PlayStation game. I'd been a Sega genesis girl previously. When I rescued my first dragon, that controller started shaking and scared the ever loving shit outta me. Though this series is now my favorite ever.
Well if Caddy's not gonna do it...
That bit about Gnasty Gnorc possibly watching the interview on TV was confirmed in the re-ignited trilogy
16:33 you know that scene in Die hard where the terrorist thieves finally unlock the vault in the Tower and the music swells with Ode to joy and one of them smirks and says “merry Christmas”?
This room.
This room RIGHT here.
Spyro was one of the first PS1 games I ever owned, and was easily the one I played the most of. Awesome video, dude.
6:14 Well, you get to explore Guhnasty's Guh-Loot.
Fun fact: Vicarious Visions coded in the code you could use in Warped to play the demo for Spyro
I loved Spyro one for the atmosphere and the aesthetic, and in a way, the ease of the enemies kind of played into that.....
One of the Best Childhood Games Ever for the PlayStation
Are you a spyro fan or a crash fan because your name is crashfan00 but your saying you like spyro
Gems and eggs don't do anything...? The 117% run? The final treasure level? The extra credits/sunglasses ending? C'mon lad.
Technically that's not much for a person that doesn't want to 100%. It's kinda like saying "getting all 120 shines in mario sunshine doesn't do anything? He gets a shirt and glasses that you can wear in the game! What do you mean it didn't do anything?"
The extra level is really cool though
@@IMakePeopleSaltyApparently well, if you don't want to 100%...then here's a secret:_Don't_.
If you 100% only because you want a reward, then stop, because you should only 100% a game because you enjoy playing it, and if you dont enjoy the things you have to do to 100% it, then the only thing a 100% reward does is make you feel obligated to play through missions that you personally dont enjoy. Which is not going to be fun. If you do enjoy doing those tasks, then that is it's own reward and you probably feel accomplished and any rewards are more so just a bonus.
I think he means, that on their own, they don't unlock anything rather then together.
It's not that hard to get everything.
A new video. A new AntDude video. A new AntDude video about Spyro the Dragon.

Hi Miharu!
Fancy seeing you here friend!
Daniel Adamski there’s only one Miharu here
I love how in Reignited, Gnorc is actually watching it on TV!
"No sheep were harmed in the making of this game?"
Maybe that was the inspiration behind the Sheepinator in "Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando."
I played so much spyro when I was young. The nostalgia is real
The game looks incredible to me even after all this time. The soundtrack is epic though, dark hollow is the most perfectly fitted soundtrack for a level I've ever seen. And the opening theme is still a banger.
Love how the last “Thank you for releasing me” dragon is the 69th dragon overall.
I enjoyed a lot of Spyro the Dragon in 2001-2002, when I was in fourth grade.
It is a great game; lovely artstyle, catchy music, and a great sense of exploration.
Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot are great games from the classic PlayStation 1 console.
This was the first game I _ever_ owned and played. Good times.
Guys he probably reuploaded because of issues
Zusse thanks TH-cam, for being retarded yet again
Zusse what issues? I see nothing?
Pretty sure he was joking.
The original video had an editing mistake when he introduced the dragon eggs
Zachary Erickson the part at 6:08 was accidentally cut over
I never grew up with Playstation so I didn’t grow up with Spyro or Crash Bandicoot, but now that the remakes are available for Switch, I’m happy that I can finally play them, I got both Crash and Spyro trilogy remakes for Christmas this year and I’m absolutely loving them both already. My Aunt grew up with the original games and while we were spending Christmas with my cousins, we played Crash on the tv and it was super fun.
I found it interesting how if you were in a level for more than 4 music loops, a different background track will play.
The first spyro game was the only one i completed 100% back in the day until recently when i beat all 3 games. This is one of your best video’s and one of the best spyro video’s on TH-cam
Jeroen Both I've never played Spyro so I don't have childhood memories of it.
I am a PERSON thats unfortunate you missed this one, but im sure you have your own favorite childhood games
Jeroen Both Here's a funny story. For Christmas of 2013, I wanted Spyro the Dragon on my Brother's PS3. So I bought him a PS Store card as a gift... then used the funds to buy Spyro 1 from the store... I was that nostalgic for the first Spyro game.
Tommy Deonauth's Archives but why didn't you use the card in the first place THEN give him the card? Or just buy the card and use it?
I am a PERSON I don't know...
You can't move on with the balloon if you don't collect enough eggs or gems
Great to see remakes of these vids Ant. I got into your channel from your original Spyro reviews. It's been a long journey
Ooh, the Spyro series! Yeah! Even though not everyone loved them, the “The Legend of Spyro” games were my childhood, and it would be amazing if you ever decided to cover them after the original trilogy.
Don’t forget the Spyro cameo in Mario odyssey. He’s grown a lot since the PS1 days
Phantomshadow224 lol
Phantomshadow224 wait what?
Dragon fire Gaming In Odyssey SPOILERS
You fight a big huge realistic looking dragon.
No its just a realistic dragon with purple electric breath not a small purple dragon with fire breath and a little dragonfly
I love it! Looking forward to Reignited Trilogy!🐉

@@rontia why not 🤔
*THANK YOU FOR RELEASING ME*
Great video, can't wait for the 2nd episode man
Been watching your videos since you originally played this game on your other channel. Can't wait for the Reignited Trilogy!
15:26
What? Pinstripe from Crash 1 had a Tommy Gun, why can't Spyro do the same thing?
I love spyro, BUT WHERE'S THE POKEPARK 2 VIDEO?!
Jump On Everything Not only that! In his last Spyro review (A Hero's Tail), he said "It'll all be downhill from here" meaning that he would review the other Spyro games (such as my fav, TLoS). I think he's avoiding it.
Regarding PokéPark, I should watch that video! Hopefully, he'll review the sequel soon.
That game was hype back when it first came out, I loved that when I was younger
Their gonna keep that same “Thank you for releasing me” voice clip in reignited .
great video i am a huge spyro fan!!!!
Actually you need to collect everything to unlock the last level Gnastys Loot.
REUPLOAD OR AM I *CRAZY?!!?!?*
I can't tell...
I thought so to
When I first saw this it was unlisted...
Star Power* both
It is a reupload.
1:33 I remember Disruptor. I grew up with it along side Crash and Spyro. I loved the game as a kid and I still enjoy it today. Yes, I still play it from time to time. It's a nice nostalgia trip for me.
Gotta respect how humble Ant is about his TH-cam journey, everyone starts somewhere. You know we love you for you.
Spyro is such a wholesome boi
Deja vu
deja vu doesn't work here comment god
Justin Y. IVE JUST BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE
Justin Y. First I see you on meme videos and now I see you here
the meme song works for everything but the actual word doesent
Justin Y. Are you just subscribed to everyone?
I know a lot of people complain about Gnasty Gnorc not being a proper boss (or really any of them) but I think they work because they test your platforming ability.
Great video, nice to hear someone else say that the original Spyro was empty and not THAT great. Also, nice to see the video show up in my subscriptions this time. I only saw the previous upload because I got a notification lol.
"Blowhard" "I'm a big sucker" Well, all right then, Ant, goddamn😂😂
To be fair the collectables are used to unlock the next world from the balloonists
NickyvMLP love your pfp..

this video brings back so many memories.(the game(nostalgia), the original spyro video, and the video that this is a reupload of)
Love your content
#Crash&Spyro4Smash
I will like spyro in smash too. I haven’t played any crash bandicoot games
Spyro bring back so many memories. I hope he makes it in Smash Bros.
I believe he will
literally eat shit
I'd even be okay with him as an Assist trophy, he'd just be great in it.
SupaPixelGirl Spyro ignites the competition!
If Ridley got in anyone can get in!...hopefully..
FINALLY! I've been waiting for this!
Spyro was my childhood, its great to have you back my purple dragon friend
I'm probably going to get crucified but
Spyro 1>Spyro 2
Ginger Conker I agree, I Much prefer the aesthetic of the first game compared to 2 and 3
not from me. I totaly agree.
I much prefere the simplicity of spyro 1 to Spyro 2. While i generaly like how they the attempt of more storytelling its to much packed with two times minigames that are not so fun for the most part, so i never 100% it. Still play if from time to time. Spyro 3 made everything a lot better but i still like the first Spyro the most.
its funny because as a kid i never played this game because spyro was purple,and i thought this was a girl game.
yeah thats it
11:21-11:24 Thank you so much for including that
you posted this on my birthday thx you made my day I was on vacation so I did not get to see it to today
The first two games of the trilogy were a part of my childhood (Spyro 2 I am the most fond of), I never played Year of the Dragon until YEARS later where I got the digital version.
Actually, I do have a copy of Year of the Dragon, but it's an unofficial copy, and the boot up sequence of the pirated version scared the crap out of me.
Wait reupload?
I love this game so freaking much! It's one of my favorites of all time.
If you collect all of the dragon eggs, you get to watch them hatch at the end of the game and your reward for collecting all of the gems is getting access to Gnasty Gnorc’s treasury in the last homeworld.
Who’s Spyro? But that purple dragon looks kinda like that guy from sky landers.
Is this a joke or are you sincere?
That is spyro skylanders is part of the spyro canon
It has been established that both spyros are separate characters.
Nice B8 M8
Re-upload?
Shaun Snivy Yea, though I'm not sure why. I saw the original video, and there wasn't anything wrong with it.
thank you for pointing that out about the Amanda show. I was thought that as a child that the tune was familiar lol preciate that.

When someone says one of your favorite games is trash
Congratulations to Activision for locking away Spyro 2 and 3 from the physical release. You've truly proven yourselves to be the next EA.
MiREK ehhhhh kind of but this video should explain most of the problem th-cam.com/video/GlhvOnEFGAE/w-d-xo.html

Thanks Activision, you fucked us over again
NO! DON'T BRING THAT HERE! I'M ABSOLUTELY SICK OF IT!!! I'M SICK OF HEARING PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE PROBLEM!
BlueBubbleBox 13 Yeah, I don't like that scandal either, but what did we expect? They're Activision. They are known for anti-consumer practices.
at least i have good internet. so this really isn't a problem for me. but i'm not the type of person who cancels their pre order of a childhood game remade in HD just because i'm too lazy to download. well i believe (imo) that activision wrote that in a way that people misunderstood them and it turned out that it was just a day 1 patch thing. i'm not defending them just to be clear, but that's what i believe

Wow. Doesn't know what an opinion is and uses the wrong "you're"... that's a target
Jasper’s Will to live I remember that reference lol
That was a great overview of the game, you took a look at the positive and negative parts of the game. Made me realize a few things too.
I was literally watching your spyro videos, when this video was uploaded xD
I kinda like how Spyro evolved pretty much the same way as Crash.
A pretty good PS1 trilogy
Forgettable first PS2 games, not made by their original creators
Not comepletely awesome, but still pretty good GBA games
Awesome second PS2 games
Pretty weird changes to the games
Made appearances in Skylanders
A remastered version of the original trilogy
Why did you re posted this video?
It’s not a re post! It’s reignited!
My all time favorite Spyro game, I played this (still do) every single year once. Man, I remember when I got this for Christmas in 1998...
Now I'm in the mood to rewatch your let's play of this.
3:32 His arm fat jiggled and thats my muscle basically.
Star Power* I can't unsee that now
Sucks that their is going to be one disk in the physical copy and the other 2 being digital download 😒 would have loved to have all 3 disks I guess it's a dream of the past
Crystal McLean the developers confirmed they convinced activism to let them delay the game by a month or two so that they can have all 3 games on one disc and make the experience as good as possible.
Fidelio that's great I'm glad they are doing that... Finally 😆
People always think I’m weird for saying this but I actually do really like the bosses in Spyro 1. They’re just so simple, they feel like these overhyped occupants of each world and it’s just funny to me how easy they are. They fit the game in a weird way.
Wooooo Spyro!! ^^ My childhood and some of my faves of ever :3 hehe awesome vid, Ant :D you not the only one scared of the suits of armour in the day, so was I :P the metal spiders even worse :P the 90s were good times lol
Still sucks that all 3 games aren’t on one disc.
I know I'm gonna get hate for this but I prefer the legend of spyro trilogy now I LOVE the original trilogy I have nostalgia for the legend trilogy and dawn of the dragon was and still is my favorite game of all time. So I hope we get a legend of spyro trilogy remake and then they do just continue the originals yea I said I want them to continue the original rather than the legends trilogy
Blazingfury05 _ I understand how you feel... sort of. The original 3 are my personal faves, but I did enjoy the Legend of Spyro trilogy a bit. Or I more really liked the *potential* of those games, with the last one really being good for me. There were just a lot of things that they dropped the ball on, like the combat in the first two games and... ugh... *Sparx* among others (seriously couldn't stand Sparx in any of the games). The soundtrack was amazing though.
I'd really like to see Toys For Bob reboot that trilogy and fix some of those flaws.
Damn I miss this beautiful game.
Playing with Spyro in CTR right now! Listening to this in between games during loading and searching, drinking wild turkey whiskey! Good times. ❤️🥐
Notification squad! Where you at?
Also, 23 views and 25 likes. TH-cam, you’re broken af
its called lag
Nah I was here before the reupload
TH-cam refresh prioritizes comment and like refresh rate over view rate. Doesn't everyone that makes this comment already know this anyway? So saying it for the sake of saying it seems pretty contrive and a lame reason to get attention.
2 unoriginal comments in one comment
that's some serious like baiting right there
how many god damn times are we gonna make the whole "view count =/= comment/like count joke"
I have nostalgia 4, the second and third Spyro games.
finally a video about an ACTUALLY good spyro game! i've been waiting for this!
Can't wait for the next reviews of Spyro 2 and 3!
