Re: Spyro the Dragon - g'no safe harbour here!

But remember - Chrono Cross, also released by SE and branded as a big deal game, only had like, 15-30(?) people working on the game itself (besides testing, QA, marketing, etc. staff). The "AAA" distinction we have now, where there is a strict clearly visible divide between games, was not ...

Re: Spyro the Dragon - Jacques of all trades, master of website design

This was what AAA games were back then. Or it may be more accurate to say that such a distinction didn't exist, as dev teams of all sizes were sold on store shelves equally. But Spyro was certainly one of the highest profile western PS1 games.

I would say intellectual dishonesty does = malice, which is distinct from aggression, but maybe I'm understanding it differently from you. "Understanding it differently" is the source of this whole miscommunication, but why does it always have to come down to talking about the conversation...

Re: request grab-bag

I just don't understand why you brought up IP rights anyway, and followed it up with preferring "devs that have the owner's/original creators' go-ahead", if you find it completely inappropriate or malicious to respond to those parts. How am I supposed to talk about this part in a way that ...

Re: request grab-bag

Well yes I edited it specifically to the part I was responding to. I'm not sure why that's seen as malicious. I don't have anything to say about the other part (which is also not very important to me, but pretty much anything is more arguably value than IP rights).

Re: Spyro the Dragon - sunny side up, or over-Blowhard?

The argument is not "it turns the game into this" (because yeah, it doesn't change a lot of gameplay things compared to how many it doesn't change) but "this is the philosophy its changes are following". Another subtle one is when you kill an enemy the gem immediately zooms to yo...

Re: Spyro the Dragon - come and take a peak

I would say that is the target the remakes are hitting in general: the kind of player who just wants to get every gem in order to fill up the meter and then go to bed. And rather than "the kind of player", I mean "that's what's considered good game design now and the remake sees it as...

Re: Spyro the Dragon - fly by night, fly by crystal

It's also still raocow's usual habits coming up ("i must do everything in this level before proceeding to the next") that makes him look up hints before exploring the rest of the game. Figuring things out through experience before being ready to 100% everything is pretty sensible design to...

Re: Spyro the Dragon - the real boss is the janky glide

I think the visuals are running at a slightly lower/blurrier resolution than I'm used to but I don't know enough about emulation to say how to change it.

Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought I saw someone flaming metal, maybe in spyro 2, in other playthroughs I saw. I guess it's possibly I just made that up though.

Re: Spyro the Dragon - in the land of dragons, the guy in a robe is king

All I can tell you is when I look at footage or screenshots of the remaster, the fact that these were areas designed for low fidelity graphics really stands out to how my brain is parsing the geometry. How I relate to how I "parse" games is a weird thing that I don't think I've actually se...

Re: Spyro the Dragon - in the land of dragons, the guy in a robe is king

There are a lot of things about the original Spyro games that are "nice". The models are not one of them. The thing is, when I say "i like spyro 1-3", i don't mean "i like some components of spyro 1-3, which can be removed and re-inserted like parts to a machine", i me...

Re: Spyro the Dragon - in the land of dragons, the guy in a robe is king

if you already think taking a nice ps1 game and replacing every design in it with a completely different HD design has good results, i can't really explain to you why i don't like that. for me i can't visually parse the remasters in the slightest as areas i can move around in if nothing else, compar...
