Happy Spyro Community Day!
20 years ago, Spyro made his big debut on the PS2 and Gamecube with Enter the Dragonfly. Widely considered to be one of if not the worst game in the series, it's a story of ambitious goals, workplace drama, and failure to meet expectations. Huge thanks to ETD documentarian ‪@MrFO1‬ for his contributions to the script, Marc for editing, as well as everyone who participated.

This taught me a lot I didn't know about enter the dragonfly behind the scenes, makes me hope that maybe the spyro 4 we get off of reignited takes ideas from the production and gives us the game we should have gotten back then more or less.

@gospyro Год назад

Nice job on the ups and downs of ETD. I was the lead artist on the orginal three Spyro games, and pitched the concept that became Spyro... and I have to say I was heartbroken the first time I tried to play ETD! It was VERY frustrating for me to leave Spyro behind when Insomniac left Universal to work directly with Sony, and this was made FAR worse when I finally saw what Universal had done to our little dragon! I have no idea how this game was ever allowed to ship.

@TNVGAMING Год назад

@@gospyro Whats funny is the more I read about this game on RU-vid, the more I read with how badly Universal handled this game from as very early as the original GDD to print. Constant battling with Universal just showed how they were NEVER a great publisher to begin within, & without Insomniac & Sony's presence, it festered and destroyed both Spyro & Crash Bandicoot in less than two years.

@gospyro Год назад

@@TNVGAMING Yep. If you look at "Distruptor", Insomniac's very first game for the PS1, it garnered top reviews across the board... yet it hardly sold at all. One of the main reasons for this is Universal completely failed in promoting it. Universal bought a couple one page ads in a few magazines, and that was about it. I can remember walking into a game store right after it had come out and asking the guy behind the counter about it and he said, "Distruptor? Never heard of it"... I then pointed out that it was on the shelf directly behind him. Distruptor was never going to be an industry changer or a mega-hit, but Universals complete bungling of the marketing meant we didn't even sell out of the first printing. After Universal's bungling of marketing Distruptor, we were all VERY glad that Sony wanted to pick it up and take over marketing and distribution!!!

@TNVGAMING Год назад

@@gospyro I remember disruptor! Honestly Universal got so lucky, so quickly not knowing what in the hell it was doing from day one. In an era where mascots likw "Bubsy" were more common than not, part of me is amazed Universal got as far as it did during the PS one era. However as I got older and did a lot more research, I became less amazed as I quickly realized how much Sony was involved and universal was nothing more than a middleman collecting cash off the backs of other people's work. If I remember correctly, I think Universal was partnering with Konami to distribute some of their early PS2, GameCube, & XBOX titles, which made them seem even more inept by that point lol

@Scorpionspear77 Год назад

Honestly, I’d love to see what Toys for Bob could do with this game and giving it a Reignited style treatment, but instead of just a straight remake, keep the premise and build from there. For example- Keep the basic plot but bring Gnasty back into it and give us more details on how Ripto’s back (maybe say Gnasty resurrected him). Put some emphasis on why saving the dragonflies is so important- maybe also make it so we have to rescue Sparx early on to have a moment between him and Spyro. Tidy up the level design and make it good while keeping the level names and themes, keep the multiple breath types and maybe make new puzzles for each one, keep Reignited’s excellent control, and bam, you’ve got a good Spyro game.

@prayingkabutops1392 Год назад

We couldn’t even get a Crush and Gulp fight. It would’ve been interesting to see what new tricks they have in their boss fight. Especially, Crush who’s now more intelligent after pursuing higher learning. But nope, we can’t have nice things. I was so disappointed when I was kid and founded this out. I was so excited that they finally learned to talk now.

@A-Nationverse Год назад

This is a great video Miharu. I think that Spyro Enter the Dragonfly could’ve been a better if they took more time with the game instead of rushing it to release. There are definitely new ideas that was implemented into the game like different elemental breaths and different types of mini games. At that time, it was Universal Studios that was handling the game after parting ways with Sony.

@jojogape Год назад

Fantastic retrospective and analysis overall! I forgot to mention the fact that the dev team kept getting weird demands to change stuff very late in development, it wasn’t just about rushing. Though I do think it was an important factor. They probably did a lot of crunch too…

It’s so cool to see all the different opinions on the game and the fact that legit everyone agrees this is a bad game is pretty funny. It must have taken a ton of time editing all of this together and going through everyone’s videos and making sure their points worked in your video. You 3 did such a good job putting this all together

@mysryuza Год назад

Is it weird that this was my first Spyro game? As someone who started with this one, I’m so happy that more people are finally embracing the act of talking about the game and delving into what led to its downfall, despite most people wanting to pretend it never happened. We should be talking about this as an example of what not to do with game developing and the hardships of working for companies that push developers to time crunch, as well as an example of what companies and team leads should NOT do. 1:50 Omg, I was hoping someone would find this kind of bug! I used to see this happen with the brown riptoc in Dragonfly Dojo and, as bad as the game was, I still found it hilarious as a kid. Little did I know that this game was WAY more riddled with problems than I thought then. Honestly, Splatoon 3’s (which was released in 20-freaking-22) matchmaking loading times gave me secondhand EtD flashbacks. I swear the animation of the characters when they speak is like when someone cranks up the expression in Resi games to 200%.

@Olivefocaccia Год назад

This was an amazing video, holy shit! The editing was incredible; I wasn't sure how community input would be used, but the snippets of other's voices actually really added a lot to the video and made it a lot more enjoyable and feel more complete as a overview of the game. Great work from everyone :D

@abonne3154 Год назад

Thank you for uploading this. The thing that disappoints me the most about this game is that everything presented in ETD has the groundwork for being a great Spyro game. Varied breaths and some of the minigames were quite fun to play around with, but the stylization of this game is surprisingly faithful to Spyro's origins. The music and sound effects fit right into a Spyro game. The characters, the architecture of the levels, hell, even the skyboxes are all emblematic of what Spyro should look like on the PS2. Everything to make another fantastic Spyro hit is here! It is a goddamn shame this game did not get more time in the oven. Had the devs been able to mold this game into what they really wanted, they could have delivered on a product that could very well have left as big of a mark as the PS1 masterpieces. Shit, they really seemed to know what they were doing here, but.. Just not enough time or leeway from others to polish it up and make it great. :(

I just wished the developers weren't forced to rush this game and were giving plenty time to polish the game and make it enjoyable, because ever since I played the demo on a PS2 Jampack disc, I was really anticipating the games release. However, I really do like this video you made, Miharu. And if we ever get a Spyro 4, developers would look back at ETD as reminder and not to repeat that mistake.

Scary and sad fact: A 4 year old had epileptic seizures that presumably was caused by the glitches and it lead to permanent damage. This seizure was followed by a lawsuit. Idk why developers can’t play test their games before releasing them. FIY to the any video game developer, play test your games before releasing them. Seizures like this can happen.

@veteranJMacfan Год назад

Totally agree with a lot of the points. I remember worrying about whether my disc was glitched but I found out later that it was just horribly done. Sure, it was frustrating as hell to do the usual stuff in the game. I'd play the original trilogy through enough times where I'd consider myself an expert :P but dealing with the not-so-perfect guilding and the slippery dragonflies was a pain. And that final boss came with so many issues it was ages before I beat it. The constant game overs because I kept getting hit and couldn't recover in time to avoid future hits- it was super annoying. Yet the game has its charms. I've played it through a few more times and the glitches don't always screw me up so I get some enjoyment out of it. But on any given day, I'd rather speedrun the original Spyro game than play Enter the Dragonfly

@Animeknight1992 Год назад

I loved the evil dragon concept it sounded way better heck I would've been fine with gnasty gnorc revenge arc as well there was so much meddling from the higher ups and other publishers it was a big mess just as bad as WOC. The fact you can complete this in one glitch is damn ridiculous. I'm all for a major ground up remake but alas I hope spyros new game whatever that may be doesn't suffer the same fate as this one. There are some cool things in this game but all the negative muddles it so badly its quite sad

@michaeluphoff4749 Год назад

I think with all the pains that they went through making Enter the Dragonfly, combined with the fact that it was extremely rushed before it was fully ready, made Spyro: A Hero's Tail a better game. They knew what worked and stuck with it and didn't go with anything outlandish or crazy. I wish they had been able to fully finish Enter the Dragonfly before it was released. It has its merits, but man does that game suck in large parts.

@ci7210 4 месяца назад

Man you can tell the massive differences in look and gameplay when Crash and Spyro left thier OG developers. Not blaming the devs. They had to deal with new technology along with unreasonable deadlines and demands from Universal Interactive. As a 9 year old kid I liked the game. It didn't seem any different from the PS1 games to me.

Enter the Dragonfly is the equivalent of Sonic Boom. You can see that the teams wanted to finish it, wanted to give it more except the time restraints and toxic environment that was happening - that is really sad. My sister and I had such a ball playing this game, and still do. We found an admiration for this game where we would create our own stories and what ifs to fill the openness of the game. The controls on the PS2 were delayed and it took me alot longer to get a handle of than my sister that took to it quite easily. It will always be part of the Spyro collection of favourite games for us, the memories we made from playing it is what made it so much fun. Favourite NPCs? The tourist Dinosaurs. ❤

Bought and still own this game back when it first came out and yikes. The main thing I remember is knowing from the first intro cut scene that something was very off. I felt like I was playing a preschoolers game. The game was very baseline easy and the creepy characters models looking like some preschooler's morning cartoon. I know I fully finished the game, and have never replayed it since. I simply have a bad recollection of the game and simply just didn't like it. Which was sad because I LOVED the trilogy that came before. Back then, I knew why it wasn't the same. Because it wasn't made by Insomniac (I knew they left, the end of spyro 3 they left a message that this was the last from that development company) I saw "Universal" was in charge and even back then I knew that was the reason the game was bad.

Christmas 2002 was the year I did get my PS2 plenty of DVD’s and Games for my PS2 got this Game and immediately realized something was wrong especially Ripto being back… Since I had just beaten him 2 years prior. The Sorceress would have made more sense. Since her Arm comes up at the end of the Third Game! With all the flaws I still like it even though I was 15 when it came out… It was my last Spyro Game on PS2 I never even played A Heroes Tail. I considered that Game the end of the current PS1-PS2 Spyro’s. I didn’t even bother played the PS2 Trilogy Reboot since it didn’t look like. Spyro nor did it have any voice actors plus it had NPH which was a pass for me. But reignited Trilogy was a return to form for me. Hopefully we get a True Spyro 4.

@MiharuTheFox 6 месяцев назад

Her arm coming out of the lava was at the end of her first fight. There was a second boss fight in the Super Bonus Round. The Sorceress still being alive after 2 separate fights would've been a bit much.

Funny enough the spyro games I enjoyed the most was the legend of spyro games. My brother and I grew up on spyro but two different spyro's. He's a little let down I still never beaten the og games but I did have fun telling him as well as my friends who never played the legend of spyro games that sparks was a key important character who talks a lot for one and spyro using different elements. I do wanna try the other spyro games sometime or perhaps one day this game could actually get a remake to fix the flaws the game had.

This was the first Spyro game I remember playing, and I remember it being one of my least played GameCube games. Easy to see why in retrospect. Even as someone who isn't a lover of the PS1 games besides Year of the Dragon, this is such a disastrous and corporate excuse for a next-gen sequel.

My introduction to Spyro was the legend of Spyro series. Loved it so I decided to get them all. I had a love/hate relationship with etd.

@martinnguyen2458 Год назад

I disowned that game after playing it. It had too many glitches and bugs in it. Thank god for the Reignited trilogy.

Ugg…typical higher up interventions wanting there developers too hurry up and don’t care if they release a half finished product because cash flow. Just want to punch activision for there impatient/greedy actions

EtD was my first Spyro game and I actually loved and enjoyed this title. I did however play the reignited trilogy and fell in love with those too.

@thgritic102 Год назад

I really do hope the folks behind Reignited series come back to fix or redo Spyro 4 with its original ideas, better looks, music stays the same (or remix it like they did), and possibly throw in planned glitches and being like "jk lol! Gotcha" as a call back to they heard people's fears for the game.

Could you do a graphics comparison of the game cube and ps2 of ETD?

I don't have the means of doing that, but Mr. FO1 has you covered! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CG_47A9zl9Q.html

This game Killed Spyro but thankfully Spyro returned in 2018 with the Reiginited Trilogy now we only need Spyro 4

As horrible as this game was, I considered it to be something of a guilty pleasure. Then again, I was one of the people who got the Gamecube version. But yeah, the permanent breath abilities definitely improved Spyro and the Wing Shield ability could have been a mainstay.

@Vox1295 Год назад

I remember getting the game for my birthday on the GameCube and being a little put off by it as well. I was 10 so of course I couldn't put my finger on why it felt so off. Years later when I was a teenager, I got the PS2 copy from a friend and went back through it and knew why. I know the game is bad and glitchy at best, but it was entertaining at the very least. I will replay it every now and then but I expect it to be a laughable experience. It at least inspired some good memories with friends and unique glitch experiences. I guess it's kind of like pizza - even sucky pizza can be edible. Even sucky games can be playable.

This video that you made has very good information on why the game is a failure with some good information on its pros and cons. I respect that you also bring up the game’s troubled backstory of the development and the potential on being great for the first Spyro game on PS2 but turned out to be a waste unfortunately.😢 If you actually look at Spyro A Hero’s Tail, developed by Eurocom and published by Vendi Universal games, while it has some cons; nonetheless, A Hero’s Tail is a good game for what Enter the Dragonfly was supposed to be if Universal weren’t so greedy for rushing Enter The Dragonfly out the door. 😞 And because this video itself has EXTREMELY interesting points, you’ve just earned yourself another subscriber from me. 😎

Spyro Enter the Dragon is definitely a bad spyro game; not just a technical level, but a design wise 1 step forward, 1 step back and ends up with interesting concepts with poor execution.

@CrazyGamerDragon64 Год назад

I remember this game, I really wanted to like it, to me the main thing was that the character models looked ugly & the acting was terrible, the bugs didn't bother me too much but are much more noticable as an adult. This is one game that truly deserves the Reignited treatment, to get it right the second time

@starwave6842 Год назад

I remember at the time getting hyped for next gen Spyro as I adored the original games (still do). The trailers made ETD look amazing. Then the reviews dropped. I remember thinking this can't be right. They wouldn't give Spyro to a developer that would mess the game up so bad. Reality set in and it completely put me off wanting the game to my complete disappointment. I eventually did play it by borrowing it off someone. It had some interesting themed worlds and the different breath attacks. I also liked Spyro interacting with some NPCs rather than just standing staring at them. But they were the only good things about it. It still bugs me that they brought Ripto back with no explanation. I've never played ETD again since. I still think what the game would have been like if it hadn't been so rushed out. If Spyro 4 is happening then I'd perhaps like to see some of the good elements of ETD implemented into to it. But done with a lot better execution.

I ended up getting so frustrated with my copy of this game I traded it in at my local game store. Now I wish I didn't because I want it back. I wanna relieve the the jank filled nostalgia of Enter the Dragonfly.
