Paint guns completely killed it for me.

The entire point was colorful saturday cartoon villians resorting to more desperate means, and actually getting serious about killing spyro.

It really made the final world feel like it had more importance

>>15183010

I just don't get why they could have pinstripe and his tommy gun in the N Sane trilogy but no guns in spyro, hell rate it E-10 if you have to, I want this shit to be authentic and faithful

They ruined the look of the Dragons. Spyro walks around with a gay little prance. Total irreverence for the excellent color theory employed by the original.

>>15183044

Crash remakes were a different studio, thus different internal politics most likely.

>>15183167

THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN A SHIT.

>>15183002

I hate this fucking overmeme/fortshite/pixar or whatever it is art style.

>>15183694

Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction did a great job of looking like a Pixar movie. Of course Pixar was actually good back then too. Overwatch and whatever is more like Nu-Disney Studios, Tangled and whatever. Not that there's much of a difference anymore.

>>15183814

That box art leak had me worried but he looks a lot better here.

>>15183814

>Like how there's an option to toggle the soundtrack between the original and the remastered version.

If this is true then this is the ONLY good news to come out of this mess.

Holy shit wait a minute I didn't pay close enough attention. Copeland is actually in charge of remastering the music? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.

>>15184004

I don't think he's working on the new style music, but he IS giving us a brand new title theme and some other new tracks, supposedly.

>>15184071

Here's a snippet of the new theme by copeland, dunno if I'm a fan of it honestly, though it does sound like a pretty rough version

>>You can switch between the original and remastered soundtracks

Does that mean we'll finally have a proper rip of it and not that compressed shit directly from the game disks or worse?

>>15184127

If you rip from the disk the quality is great, what are you talking about? I'd did it myself ages ago.

>>15184148

it's still compressed. There's only been one song that's ever had its unaltered master released and that's Jacques because it was featured on a best of.

>>15184148

>If you rip from the disk the quality is great

The quality is fairly good but it's still 37.8khz 200-300kbps compressed audio

>>15184155

>>15184170

The frequency isn't really compression, it's just a less bandwidth, but it's comparable to a radio broadcast I believe. As for bitrate, that sounds like whatever you are compressing to when you rip isn't it? I can rip them to WAV then convert to FLAC.

>As for bitrate, that sounds like whatever you are compressing to when you rip isn't it?

Nah, CDXA is what the game have the tracks as on the disc itself, the games don't use regular full quality audio, wouldn't be able to fit over two hours of music on one disc otherwise

>The frequency isn't really compression, it's just a less bandwidth

Does still have a notceable effect on audio quality

>>15184352

>>15184148

As others have said, there's a difference between the original composition and what the system could actually handle. Crash Bandicoot: Warped for example had a number of "preconsole" versions of tracks which have found their way into the public (and I believe it was through Mancell himself, but I could be wrong). The game itself does not have the same exact tracks, both in terms of audio output quality and amount of instruments. Granted, there's certainly systems where the audio capabilities were tin-ier than the PS1 (Copeland did have a good point that CD provided a lot more space for him to work with than a cartridge would when it came to Spyro), but still.

>>15184445

Crash 2 had some of its best tracks shared. Rock it/Pack Attack pre-console has this bass line that's totally muted in the final version, a glockenspiel that you don't even hear in the opening, it's a world of difference.

>>15184445

Crash 1-3 also go for a different approach entirely and use sample based formats on the game disc instead of using actual audio streams like Spyro

>>15184476

Call it red book, because it sounds cooler and also it's what they called it.

>>15184480

I'm pretty sure Redbook audio only refers to Audio CD you can actually play back in a regular disc player which isn't the case for CDXA.

>>15184495

You're probably right about that, my mistake.

>>15183071

>Spyro walks around with a gay little prance.

D- do you happen to have a webm of this?

>>15183814

I hope that ripto's arena sounds good

>>15183010

>Paint guns completely killed it for me.

This essentially.

>>15184102

Sounds like shit tbh.

>>15183071

>Total irreverence for the excellent color theory employed by the original.

I could have sworn they fixed the washed out colors and replaced them with the pastel style the original had after eveyone complained about the initial screenshots.

>>15216609

Watch them do something retarded like giving her pants.

>>15216626

They have largely fixed them from what I've seen (though they made the sky blue in the Artisans homeworld for some reason). It has other visual problems though.

>>15183167

>msm is portraying guns at the moment

It's a fucking cartoon world where there's talking dragons and humanoid rabbits, how is a gnorc shooting at spyro in any way transferable to reality? Is that monkey character in year of the dragon going to shoot rainbows now?

>>15224895

Lasers are okay. That's why so many cartoons in the '80s and '90s used them, while the comics they were based on did not. See: GI Joe.

But is the new Spyro hot?

>>15224660

Thanks Nostalgia Animator, you animated it better so I don't have to

>>15184092

I wanna remove kebab with that knight

>>15183002

but can we switch back to the old voice actors instead of these new losers
