Just found that on Twitter:

I saw that on twitter also, I find the graphic design awful.

Interesting. A proper source outside of the Twitter Moments?

Here is another link, with animated gifs and a bit more information:

I am so tired of this modern plagarisation fetish of old games. Spyro, this, I mean how would it be if Katy Perry's next album was just all her old songs remixed into metalcore? And never mind that half of the charm of the thing is in the limitations. Heaven forbid they should make something new based off it!

Arguably it's similar to a digital remaster of an old vinyl record, although in some respects it's also like buying a modified version of Star Wars with edited scenes and injected VFX...

Modern remakes can be hit-or-miss.
When done properbly (WB3) it's amazing.
When it's a cashcow using the original's name (Castle of Illusion), it can be disappointing. Or it can sit in the middle of both extremes (Ducktales).

I think it looks decent. Let's see if the final product will be worth playing.

I think it looks great actually. The henchmen drawings look really good too.

future commercial game. it's looking great but alex kidd needs bigger ears :)
