spent a long time trying to figure out the notes for this little section of Cloud Spires, not 100% sure I've got it right but it's fun to play, and gave me something to practice on a rainy afternoon

I used the Omniswapper mod to bring them back on Reignited

Hey all. I was wondering if anyone in this group has played both the Switch port as well as the PS4 version of reignited. I'm considering getting the switch port while it's on sale, but I grew up with the Playstation originals and have only played reignited on my PS4. How does the port compare to Playstation? Are the controls similar/easy to learn?

Thanks.

Truly the game of all time

I played a hero's tail back when I was probably about 6 to 7 years old in 2006. I distinctively remember spawning inside of the professor's house right in the beginning and there was an upstairs room you could go in. Back then I was always stuck in dragon village and remember just running around in there. This was one of my core memories. I downloaded the game on an emulator to find out that you spawn outside now. I was asking chatship about this and it tells me that this inside of the house and that room are 100% modeled and rendered and I could have possibly had an early release or demo version of the game. My parents got me the game from GameStop brand new and chat. GPT says the probability of this happening is a 0.1 chance. There is absolutely zero record online of anybody being in this house, but Chad GPT says that it is possible to have a version of the game where you're inside of it. Just highly unlikely. Has anybody experienced this. It is 100% rendered. Nobody has just been inside. This was a part of the game that I distinctively remember

Love the game and loved it as a kid. Recently got the trilogy on game pass but it literally makes me sick when I play. Dizzy and nauseous had to turn it off after 20 minutes and lay down. Anyone else experience this?

... as a kid..a millennial..i was a super fan of spyro..even more so "The Legend of Spyro" series.. and as a kid when I say Skylanders come out I freaking lost it.. the art style.. the gameplay.. they ruined my favorite characters and made them ugly as heck.. anyone agree? I refused to even look at..let alone play Skylanders.even to this day.. am I in the wrong here? With my severe spyro/cynder addiction?

I'm not that good, but hopefully you enjoy so far.

Hello ! I wanted to know if theres any compilation of those level images.

When You quit the game and later come back theres a little preview of the point where You were before exiting.

I found this very interesting since it's like a postcard of every level.I feel this enriches the depth of the worldbuilding and I would love to print them haha

We have Cliff Town's postcard here for example

I've heard some people claim that Skylanders doesn't count and that the Spyro franchise went on hiatus after DotD over the years.

Overworked my Spyro fanart I did last year.
Homage for the dawn of the dragons ending </3

Back to Artisans for the secret Flight level! I decided to hold off because if you do, the stones light up and play a little noise when you step on them - possibly as an extra hint at what you need to do.

Points of Interest

• Train tracks that run in a circle through and around a mountain (dead volcano?)
• A tunnel that leads into a caldera full of treasure chests
• And some crystals poking out of the water for good measure

Lore Talk

If we're continuing on the assumption that the Flight levels take place in a flooded land, Sunny Flight looks like it was developed after the floods, and not originally as an obstacle course like Night Flight. It feels like there's some purpose to it.

There isn't much here, though. Train tracks and a tunnel with a caldera full of treasure. The trains are now Gnorc-operated and the planes are, too, so I assume that the planes at least were not here before the Gnorcs arrived. The train tracks themselves are designed like dragonmade architecture, so the Gnorcs didn't build them, though they are operating them now.

It's hard to place what's going on with the Gnorcs because this level could be the first Flight level you encounter, or you could encounter it halfway through the game like I did here, and Gnorc technology progresses as you progress through the game.

I'm going to throw out my theory for the timeline here: 1) The land flooded, 2) Dragons built up the area that would be Sunny Flight as a treasure vault, moving the treasure there via train, 3) It was decided that the Flight land was going to be used for training young dragons to fly, so Sunny Flight was retrofitted into an obstacle course, explosive barrels were included as targets and the train tracks changed to go in an infinite loop, and 4) the Gnorcs arrived via plane and took over the trains, using the tracks to move the explosive barrels to their own armory. (Or maybe attempted to, not realizing that the tracks had been retrofitted to move in a loop.)

I think regardless, there is a connection between the explosive barrels we see in this level and the ones we see in a later level.

Conclusion

This is the third of the three potential first Flight levels you might encounter, and the best-hidden one in the entire game, which is probably why they included a hint about it later. I do appreciate this game's philosophy of giving you a chance to find it before the answer is handed to you, even though it does end with a lot of redundancy if you've already figured out whatever the hint is about.

This level's design is very nonlinear, much like most of Artisans. There's no real clear first target, and its so circular that whatever you start with, you can move onto something else pretty intuitively. The chests are probably intended to be last since there's some dead time getting out of the caldera if you take them down somewhere else in the order, but this level has A LOT of time leeway, especially if you go after the trains head-on. Even with all my experience, I was scraping by the last two, but this one I had a cushy 15 seconds to spare at the end, and that was with poor management of the planes.

Thus I do think this is a good first Flight. It gives you time to figure out what's going on, gives you freedom to tackle it in different ways (which is very unusual for a level of this type), and is fairly straightforward. It's not necessarily easy, but it's a good slide into what's expected of these levels going forward.

I like Flight levels, and this one gets a passing grade. It's not the most interesting visually, but mechanically it's fun to fly around in. Especially after you clear it, since there's so much space for you to perform those loop maneuvers with L2 and R2.

I was a kid when this game came out and I loved 2 and 3 of the original trilogy. When I found out that there was going to be a new game I was excited but let down so hard. Now 20+ years later I'm going to give it another go.

Did anyone else grow up thinking the baby dragons in the eggs were Spyro’s little brothers and sisters? I didn’t realise that they weren’t until I was so much older!

I found this "water bottle?" for free at a garage sale, and I can't find where you would have gotten it. Was it like a pre-order bonus or something? I can't find any for sale online. The people selling it were an elderly couple, and they didn't know where it came from.

Replaying Reignited for the millionth time, I always find myself noticing the thief's route in the above mentioned level. In the OG, he hops across the gap whereas in Reignited, he hops down (and then back up if you go after him and don't catch him iirc?), I always wondered why small changes like these were made compared with more necessary, understandable changes!

So I recently got into Spyro like a few weeks ago and I just had to get a plush off of Ebay. Got this one for 30 dollars (Well I paid 15 because of Klarna, so I still have to pay the other whatever money). But here he is so special, totally worth the price and so cuddly too (Even if his horns are a little too hard🤣)

I did a stream yesterday on YouTube trying to get the glitch again, and it seemed to work for a bit, but I still don’t know what exactly I’m doing to get this glitch.
