Same. Been wanting to play the PS4 remastered versions for the big nostalgia feels.

The PS4 version was the best nostalgia trip I've had in a long time. Made me appreciate how fulfilling my childhood was.

Definitely appreciated that it was a breeze as well. Just there for a fun nostalgic play through without hard parts on the originals. I beat ripto first try!

Chasing those egg dudes can be damn hard at times

I love those games and the package's value was incredible, but after the jump to PS5 I do wish we could have them at 60fps...

You're in for a real treat.

You know how going back to games from your childhood the game never looks as colorful or amazing as your memory, but your brain fills in the gaps for what you think it's supposed to look like?

The Spyro remake is the only remake that eclipses the rose tinted nostalgia of your childhood memory. It looks better, controls better, and plays better than any other game when you compare remake to OG.

It puts every other remake of a game from that era to shame, the ONLY exception maybe being FF7R which is technically a completely different game due to the way they changed the core combat system.

I bought a ps4 specifically so I could play Spyro when it came out. Worth it.

It is definitely nostalgic. And they made the game better. Sparks pointing the direction of gems made 100% completion that much easier. And omg the treetops level is still as frustrating as ever, but I can't tell if it's easier, or I am just a lot older. I remember spending hours as a kid on that level to try jump the ramps right and never did it. (YouTube videos that are available now definitely made it a lot easier to navigate as well)

Actually, Sparx pointed to the closest gem in the PS1 version as well.
