Spyro Reignited Trilogy - All Bosses Comparison (PS4 vs Original) 

I really appreciate how the remake gave all the dragons a more unique style and personality

You know, for a battle between a magical sorceress and a dragon there's an awful lot of flying saucers involved...

I noticed how most people's issues with the reignited trilogy stem from either the redesign characters or the boss battle gameplay, but howcome no one's talked about the sound effects..... Yes Spyro did reuse some of the sound effects such as Sparx's blasts and excetera, but they were always very unique.... All the new sound effects sounds a whole lot softer by comparison and generic.... That was the biggest thing, I always noticed during my playthrough. Still a great remake, but I was very let down by their choice sound effects changes.

The people proclaiming the bosses are too easy really have not tried beating gulp no damage without the super breath upgrade

Funny how somehow, despite the modern graphics, the Spyro 3 bosses are somehow what I find significantly less scary than their original PS1 counterparts, I guess it has to do with the old graphics being what they were, the remaster has lost a lot of the abstract charm of the original. The graphics in Reignited are nice for sure, but the...surreality of the old games has been lost in translation, which I kind of miss. They gave the monsters just that much more personality in their animation and textures and the uncanny valley effect that added to the creepiness of the battles on PS1 is toned down there as a result. Reignited Trilogy is a great remake. I actually really like what they did with a lot of characters, and I'm very happy with the general art style they went with. That being said, call me old-school, but in some ways, I still prefer the PS1 originals for subtle reasons like that.

I think my favorite redesign was the chinese fire dragons, darkening the area and utilizing the lighting effects to make the dragons and the lava glow made the whole fight look epic.

Glad I’m not the only one that dealt with crush chasing you forever on that last hit against him.

You know, for a generic evil sorcerer, Ripto sure loves his machines.

One thing that kinda bugged me/creeped me out when I was a child was in Spyro 3 for the Sorceress's boss battle, when you get a successful hit instead of 'human' grunts (like Ripto) they gave her a velociraptor sound bite that I found slightly terrifying lmao. She never made any animal-like noises in the cutscenes so it caught me off guard.

The bosses from Year of The Dragon scared the shit out of me as a kid. Especially, that green frog. The remake is cool and all but it doesn’t match the vibe we felt as kids. It sure is nostalgic though.

*Amazing how far technology has become!*

Loved playing the reignited trilogy it brought back so many memories as Spyro was the first game I ever played. I really hope they make another Spyro game soon.

But can anyone agree that Ripto's redisign looks excellent?

How did they manage to give toasty an upgrade but downgraded Spike and Buzz who r easily the scariest/ most intimidating bosses in the game?

TO STOP THE DIFFICULTY DEBATE. I still own the original games and I played the bosses again. Yes, the original bosses are harder than the ones in Reignited. If you are interested in the DIFFERENCES from Spyro 3, read below. *Buzz* takes longer (to decide) to charge at you in Reignited, so when you mess up and miss on charging him, you won't get punished. In the Original, when he stopped rolling after you, the fire would start up immediately, but in Reignited you have to charge him first. This applies on *Spike* too. He would immediately start shooting when hit. (Seen on the video above). He doesn't have to go to the center to start shooting like in Reignited. And lastly, Buzz's spinning attack is faster and tracks you better in the Original game. *Spike* has less health in Reignited, from 9 to 6. Also, he only shoots 1 electric orb, then 2 and lastly 3. In the original, he shoots from 2, to 3 and lastly 4. Generally, he is less aggressive, is slower (takes more time to decide to attack you) and rarely charges at you to either squash you or to destroy the lava rocks. Spike, in Reignited, also has a slower animation when he misses on his punch attack, giving you more time to attack him. Finally, in Reignited he only attacks when he goes to the center, and therefore makes him predictable and easier. *Bluto* is much slower (also takes time to decide to attack you) and rarely swims to you to try and bite you. He is a joke in Reignited, I don't have to say more. *Sleepyhead* had an extra move on the original. He would throw 3 red magic orbs if you were far away from him. He doesn't do that in Reignited. *Twin Chinese Dragons* also seemed easier to me. They wouldn't spit fireballs as much. Maybe I was lucky. *Yeti* was hell in the original. He's much easier in Reignited. It looks easy on the video above, but trust me, he is not. *Scorch* The electric balls he spits, in the Original, spread more (to cover the whole arena) and have a larger hit box. In addition, his shield appears more in the Original and faster so you have to be quick to shoot him after he spits the crabs & rat enemies. In Reignited, if you hit him with a green missile while he's spitting out eggs, some eggs fly in the background from the blast, so less eggs land on the arena. This does not happen in the Original. Lastly, when he spits the egg that contains the fire creature, it would hatch in a second (or even less). It takes quite a while to hatch in Reignited so you have time to be prepared. Buzz doesn't charge immediately when he hatches in Reignited. *Sorceress* throws less electric orbs and she does so, rarely, compared to the original. They also spread less and you can charge away from them easier. Also (as mentioned above with Buzz and Spike) she only attacks when she is at the center of the arena in Reignited, when you aren't inside a vehicle. Lastly, she's much slower in Reignited when jumping from attack to attack. In other words, She takes 2-3 seconds to attack again after her last attack, while in the Original, she could take less than a second or 1 second maximum.

Buzz's idle animation really went from horrifying green monster breathing heavily to little puppy panting and looking around smh, these kids nowadays will never understand how horrifying he used to look...

I remember i never had a memory card as a kid so id have to play through the entire game every single time I played which made the bosses absolutely terrifying

wth, Spike's arena is totally changed, not even a glimpse of the original one, all of the surreal sci-fi touch lost

I hope we get a brand new Spyro game out of all this.

I like the background of buzz Dungeon it's a hellish theme that is terrifying

Wow spyro was known for having great visuals. They made it all even better.

I always thought that the Blowhard was a bird and that his beard was his beak :D

Is it just me or was Spike's difficulty really reduced in the remake? I remember being stuck on that boss for ages as a kid, but in this one it was a complete pushover.

other than easier, some really look less scary now. I've never played spyro 3 and that shark and frog scared me a lot, but the modern counterpart looks tiny and almost cute

I love Reignited but the ps1 version will always be my favorite❤

Tbh, the added cutscenes adds to the flair. Especially during the Ripto fight.

I question how anyone made fanart of ripto back then, like with how the graphics looked how did anyone draw anyone without them looking like there on crack.

I hate the dogs in the first boss of spyro 1.

While I love Spyro, it would be nice if you were given an option to choose the difficulty setting for the games, too, if you wanted to challenge yourself just for fun! There would be 3 options, an Easy Mode, a Normal Mode and a Hard Mode. That's just my opinion, though. Still, I'm glad Spyro's back and better than ever!

What did they to my man Buzz? I remember him beeing my worst nightmare, like for real he was scary af back then. Now I RT he is way too family-friendly I'd say

Bluto got the hardest nerf in reignited trilogy

An amazing work was done to this game!!! It’s rebuilt beautifully!!!

not too big a fan of Spike, Gulp, and the sorceress, but everyone else looks A+! especially Ripto, he actually looks somewhat intimidating now edit: Scorch is AMAZING! GOD they did an INCREDIBLE job with him!

I personally had a lot more trouble with Gulp in reignited than in the original. I don't know if it was the timing of the attacks or the precision of the attacks but I took a lot more hits than what I'm used to. When I saw the 'Perfect Gulp Battle' I thought, oh I can do that easily, because I didn't have too much trouble as a kid playing the original. But now as an adult I had a lot more trouble. Or maybe kid me was just a more focused gamer :thinking:

Jesus! The crawdad king looks terrifying in the remake, like Larry the lobster was dunked into a pool radioactive waste.

Just imagine dieing from just two spyro fire breath as a boss

They made them so easy especially in year of the dragon

they could've done a better job with these character designs. the scenery is great, but many of the characters have lost their animalistic looks. especially gulp, buzz and spike

The bosses in 1 and 2 look pretty good honestly, why are the ones in 3 so terrible then? The sound effects are worse, the environments are far, far worse and the designs are far less intimidating.

They did a really good job remastering this game love all the details and facial expressions they added

Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage Bosses Crush: (Original: 17:06) (Remastered: 19:03) Bombo The Flag-keeper: (Original: 22:20) (Remastered: 23:06) Gulp: (Original: 23:57) (Remastered: 27:19) Ox: (Original: 31:08) (Remastered: 31:39) Ripto: (Original: 32:01) (Remastered: 38:34)

Metalhead was and forever will be my favorite boss. I used to play Spyro just to revisit him repeatedly. The remade design is just...Gah...So good. I'd gladly give him more energy. But also funny how Spyro calls Ripto "Shorty", yet...Ripto's actually taller than him??? xD And yo, Ripto...Nice Braizen Bull lookalike (robot Gulp). :P (tbh, I never heard of the device until very recently; due to the graphic detail of it, I won't post it here, but it's a scary thing)

46:48 Not the best time Sparx!

Don't mind it, but makes the bosses more menacing or animal-like. That's what made them awesome. Oh, and they should have made them stronger or had a difficulty setting.

Awesome video. Thank you

Thankyou for the amazing video best spyro games

The remakes are great I just wish they would have made the bosses harder and more menacing looking and sounding because those are the main events people playing really look for. Bosses at least for me are the most important part of the game to show milestones of difficulty. Gulp was the prob my favorite remake cuz he dealt threatening and actually was more so than the original but his blasters sound a tad whimpy.

The og spyro riptos rage bosses I loved so much, I kind of wish they kept the noises of gulp and crush, unfortunately my ps1 broke a long time ago so I can replay them. Oh well that's what mods are for I guess, that and emulators

I like the remaster to some degree in every boss fight, but there are still some things bothering me. • The biggest issue to me is that they dumbed down many of the fights significantly. Crush, Buzz and Spike are extremely slow, which makes winning them that much easier. Many bosses from the 1st game are about as easy as they were, and although it would've been nice that they turned up the difficulty, it might've been against the idea of "remaster" to change that fact? The animation also feels stiff and incomplete at times. Especially in Buzz's fight. The Sparx levels are considerably easier now that it takes barely any hits at all for the bosses to die. • It really takes time for me to get used to some of the new landscapes in the boss fights. I don't know why Crush's Dungeon was turned into a sewer or why Spike's realm suddenly lost all of the crystalline/snowy atmosphere it had? Also, is Sorceress' first fight using the same sky theme as Doctor Shemp? Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but just something I noticed. • Some choices on character designs are baffling to me. Why does Buzz have tentacles on his chin? Almost all the bosses feel... smaller? Especially Doctor Shemp and Spike for some reason? Spike is a big question mark to me as a whole! I have barely anything to complain about the 1st and 2nd game, but the Year of the Dragon just feels incomplete along with some strange decisions.

Gulp took me 45 mins on live stream to do. Then I rage quit. Then eventually got him. Ive played the original. But they have made gulp so much harder.

Great vídeo, ProsafiaGaming!

Buzz is such a fun boss and his music is cool I just hate that the original bosses are harder than the new ones.

Bring em on I think I smell a barbecue

Dude the toad guy got nerfed *hard* doesnt even look frightening anymore

Something I MUST point out. Fucking R.I.P. Hunter in the background 37:13.

Oh my, Buzz my dear! What did they do to you? D= Spin faster! Be taller my child!

I can’t get over the graphics difference 😦😍

55:56 2 things, 1. That is the most casual "I don't give a fluff" way to attack, I love it X'D 2. Those gators design were actually meant to be a reference to Gulp, based on how similar the models are in the original.

*THANK YOU FOR RELEASING ME*

21:30 Ripto: "....." *watches as two literally run around in circles for minutes* 32:48 *"YAAAAA-"* Zoey: "Sup Spyro, we're here to help." Vocalist: "Rude." 34:16 Played this game for years, and I only just noticed Ripto is literally hopping/dancing around to be able to do this 360 attack X'D Also 34:56 When you hit an enemy so hard, their health goes through the ground.

Not gonna lie, I watched all the remake bosses from 3 just to see the baby dragons in HD.

Damn Gulp became scarier. And that roar.

Kinda wish they stuck with the more intimidating/scary vibe for most enemies in the game, including bosses. I think the more cartoony design kinda dumbs some things down. But still love the game and still playing the heck out of it, just my opinion on the design choices lol

What a faithful remake! I hope the next generation has as much fun with it as I did

Gnasty Gnorc had more balls in the original

I loooove that Dr. sheep battle in the remaster

The baby dragons in the new one look ugly. The only ugly part of the new one.

I still cant really belive this exists ive already 100% 1&2 but still feels like a dream

I remember trying to beat all the bosses with my neighbor, it was a lot of fun. Miss the good old days

Gnorc runs pretty fast for such tiny legs.

Rocko voicing Spyro… how I miss the old days. And Heffer voicing Spyro in the second and third and reignited trilogy.

Seeing what they did to Spike made me quite sad. Poor dear doesn't even look like he knows what's going on. And they didn't even try recreating his arena! Quite sad indeed...

Did you see the length of time of that fire shield was on Buzz? That's bullcrap.

Christ they really butchered Spike didn't they? Now he's a joke.

Loving all the wacky dragon designs.

Gulp in original: Stormtrooper Gulp in Reignited: Hawkeye after the 10th coffee in a row

I honestly feel like they made the newer game easier than the original. I remember getting physically upset by not being able to defeat some of the bosses or levels with the psone versions and then see the newer ones looking like a slice of cake lol

Oh jeez the third one feels soooo rushed :/

even if they may be easier come on guys, Spyro came back! the three remakes are beautiful and so much fun

58:14 Perfect timing with music! 😍

I swear to God they made the two Chinese Fire Dragons significantly harder in Reignited

Yeah I gotta say, Spike’s redesign is not good. He looks like one of those stereotypical bad guys who can’t be taken seriously, he’s a joke.

I never got past the first boss as a very little kid because pretty much every enemy in video games terrified me... lol

New Bianca is so damn adorable. Please don't lewd her.

I love both. I really love the old graphics because it brings back nostalgia.

There is so much that is uncanny and opaque about low-poly ps1 models that creates a strange and interesting atmosphere. This is why people are dissatisfied with the art of these ps1 remakes.

I like both versions a lot. The mechanics and difficulty were great in the original, and the graphics in the remake are beautiful. If only they combined.

The change they made to the dogs threw me for a loop

you people are crazy if you think that the character designs arent good. I never played the original but did watch some videos of people running through them. I just finished beating Spyro 1 on the remake and loved the characters and environments. The characters feel alive and have so much personality. I wish more games had this. I love how they have several stages to their personalities.When the game starts off there's those ogres that if you dont get near them they go on their day conversation among each other but once you get close they start to run and if you follow them they shiver. I couldnt hurt them. Im like , they arent aggressive ill leave them be. Its scenarios like this that create a believable world. Its just insane how people in these comments just dont appreciate that. Its a very very good game.

Buzz's OG dungeon remains one of the coolest gaming compositions. Ever.

Haha it never occurred to me as a child until now that you fight Scorch in what looks to be a giant decaying whale carcass.

Awesome video of proof of originals and remakes, I wanna praise that in the first make of Spyro bosses and their worlds would be cartoon and.background and in the main reincarnated trilogy they are made a massive improvement as they are all created into human types and real worlds. Spyro 1: all bosses (hard) Spyro 2: all bosses (hard but Gulp impossible) Spyro 3: all bosses (hard)

47:23 Buzz, one of the easiest boss fights in the trilogy, a game journalist compares it to Dark Souls. Don't believe me? www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-11-12-spyro-reignited-trilogy-review-a-gorgeous-and-faithful-remaster-that-sometimes-gives-more-nostalgia-than-bargained-for

They made those dogs during Toasty OP as fuck. They jump wayyy too far and home in on you, whereas in the original they barely jump at you at all

Wow, you're incredible! Getting past the Dark Souls-level bosses like it's nothing! :O

Yeti looks like a white version of the beast.

In Spyro 1 Those Creatures In The Ground At Misty Bog Were The Stuff Of Nightmares To Me

Idk if I'm the only one but I rly loved the color from the gems in the original games and sound when sparx picked them up :(

You ever notice that Ripto's head icon changes in the original?
