Oh my. The original Spyro games (especially the first) on the venerable PSX are my all time favorite games.

Their modern remake was the only reason why I bought a PS4, I got it exclusively to play that game. And it was the disappointment of the decade. It looks nice, it sounds nice, but it is different enough that muscle memory doesn't work anymore, and it's more annoying than entertaining.

("Funnily" after this I got myself a PS3, and bought the original PSX version in PS Online. It turned out that it runs very badly on the PS3. So I also got myself a PS2, and bought the disc version on ebay, which finally worked as it should. I wish I was kidding.)

Considering that the previous Spyro from Toys for Bob was more on the lackluster side, I won't keep my hopes too high.
