What if this game was on the N64?

riverhippo · Mar 08, 2011 8:09 PM

anyway, if the game was for N64 and not PS1, it would have changed everything. 'cause Spyro was the first reason I got a playstation in he first place. But if it was on the N64 'too', then it wouldn't have changed anything. it would have more popularity, thats for sure...

Yeah, I like Sony, etc. But personally, I like Nintendo the best.
Just saying. I have plenty of reasons to back myself up, but I don't feel like typing it all, just throwing that out there. I think people just like to turn Nintendo in a... stereo type of some sort?

I must agree that graphics are not everything but if Nintendo did get the license to spyro at least it might have been safe from falling into the hands of activision and staying a good or at least decent franchise and also according to some people I know activision is trying to make every one forget about the original trilogy like how Sony is trying to make us forget about the legend of dragoon or George trying to make us forget about the star wars Christmas movie which was a discrase and a living hell that will never be seen again

Problem is, it may not of been possible.

The original spyro trilogy used an advanced type of engine and high quality sounds, music and voices.
It was perfect for PSX due to the PSX using 700MB CD-R disks, but sadly, the N64 used 60MB Carts. Sure, some BIG games got ported. Resident Evil 2 which in total is 1GB with both disks somehow was ported to 64 WITH ADDED FEATURES. But this game was not nearly as advanced as the engine and contents of Spyro 1-3.

So in otherwords, that outdated N64 could of never ran this game.

Fun fact: The Playstation was originally going to be a cd addon for the Super Nintendo, but Nintendo rejected the idea. What if they hadn't? Insomniac would've likely went to Nintendo, as the only other option was the Sega Saturn (ew.) If Nintendo hadn't made what in my opinion was a slip-up, as I see it, since Sony is now a competitor with Nintendo, we would've had exactly what this thread is about.

If the original trilogy was on n64, we would have gotten HD remakes by now. Sony is pretty much the reason we don't.
However, a better question would be if universal didn't have hold of Spyro in the first place, we would still have GOOD Spyro games coming out. And Spyro 3 would have been finished.

Well, not really HD Remakes as Nintendo are a bit behind in the console technology market and their consoles cannot render full 1080p. But saying that the PS4 and the Xbone can "Render" 1080p but just not very smoothly at all. Then comes PC! XD

I think it's possible, my only concern would be the music quality or whether or not they can get all the music on the cartridge. The voice clips as well might be an issue. I'm not a tech guy, so this is all just assumptions.

I sort of wish he was on the N64, he would've gotten remakes by now. However selling him directly to Sony rather than Activision would've still gotten us good new Spyro games.

Attackfrog277 · Oct 03, 2014 4:13 PM

Lol. N64 wouldn't even have been able to handle the music or droves of polygons. Insomniac stated that in their making of Spyro interview.
